Who Am I?

Yoga, Psychedelics & the Quest for Enlightenment

By: Allowah Lani

Narrated by: Mitch Feldhandler

Far more than a mere history of the practice of yoga and beyond a study of psychedelic-substance use to aid the pursuit of enlightenment, Who Am I? is a broad, expansive journey told through the eyes of a scholar and researcher - a pilgrim in search of the meaning of life.

While the use of psychedelics, yoga, and the interrelatedness of the two practices have been discussed in the past, Who Am I? explores these topics through both a scientific and a personal approach that is altogether new - the author’s own journey as he transitions from spiritual and yoga purist to open-minded examiner in the realization that psychedelics have been employed by yoga practitioners throughout its history. Does their controversial use in modern yoga ease the path to spiritual clarity, or does it hinder it?

Many questions and barriers face contemporary seekers of truth in the areas of psychedelics, yoga, and general spirituality. In Who Am I?, author Allowah Lani provides guidance on how to find the personal answers that must come from within.

On the TIP TOP of my bookshelf for 2021!!

I was biased before I started the book, because this one is a topic that hits very close to home for me.
I was ready to NOT like it. However, I found this to be one of the most inspirational books dealing with this particular subject matter.
On the level of the author and Yoga, I am a 99.9% novice. But the plant medicine path, I am more advanced along the road.
I found common ground between myself and the author by looking at it as a mirrored perspective.
Through this entertaining and informative story, I found inspiration.
Out of all of the Yoga books I have read, many of which are mentioned by the author in this work, I must admit that this is the single most inspiring book on the subject that I have encountered.
I am encouraged to proceed, to find a teacher, and to incorporate more Yoga, breathwork, and mediation into my personal practice.

A very BIG thank you to the Author for helping me see somewhere to move forward as I walk this road towards Home <3

Only complaint is with the narrator.
He has a few words that he mispronounces, repeatedly throughout the book and that just pushes my buttons!!
But it cannot take away from the value and importance of this wonderful book!!
5+ stars is very much deserved here!!
