A compelling account of how suffering in mind or body can transform us and how we can heal using nutrition, supplements and spiritual practices.

Seven years ago, Dr Mona Lisa Schulz died on the operating table. The surgeons who had been working to correct a spine deformity were suddenly working to bring their patient back to life. They succeeded - and when Mona Lisa came out of the OR, her mind and body were forever changed.

Using a series of health catastrophes from her own life as a framework, Mona Lisa walks readers through the process of transformation at five distinct levels, which parallel five chakras beyond the bounds of the physical body, each one moving us a step closer to illumination. As she describes her own healing at each step, she offers readers a wealth of information about how they can move through similar struggles in their own lives using tools including nutrition and spiritual practices. A detailed appendix offers an even deeper dive into the science of what's taking place at each stage of transformation.
