About the Author

Jim Grove is a lifelong practitioner of yogic meditation who has worked as a writer, teacher, and coach. At age thirteen, growing up in a logging town in Canada, he was introduced to a teacher (guru) who was one of the few masters directly ordained by Paramahansa Yogananda (originally “Paramhansa”). A series of transcendental experiences at an early age convinced him to commit his life to continued yogic practice. He likes to speak plainly about spiritual experience and practice, avoiding the vague, abstract, and sometimes inflated language used in much spiritual and new age writing. He lives in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
