Natasha Scripture
Acerca de esta escucha
An exhilarating memoir about one woman’s globe-trotting journey of inspiring awakening and self-discovery.
Shaken by the loss of her father, drained by her job at the United Nations, and conflicted over failed relationships, Natasha Scripture asked herself the question at the heart of her anxiety: What is my purpose? The answer was not about finding love; it was about recognizing its source. The result is Man Fast, a true and intimate spiritual detective story.
With courage, honesty, and wit, Natasha shares the story of her awakening. Starting with the decision to fast from dating, she embarks on a journey that takes her from New York to an ashram in southern India to toiling in a vineyard on Mount Etna to a solo safari in southern Tanzania. In stepping away from the modern demand to couple up, Natasha finally finds a reflective space where she can be fully aware: of her grief, of her identity, and of love as a mystical, ever-present force.
An antidote to a culture that prizes finding the right man, Man Fast is an emotionally charged journey that leaves us with a greater understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Revised edition: This edition of Man Fast includes editorial revisions.

Historia
Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned 30, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be. To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. She got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world, all alone. This is the absorbing chronicle of that year.

Lama Yeshe didn't see a car until he was 15 years old. In his quiet village, he and other children ran in fields with yaks and mastiffs. The rhythm of life was anchored by the pastoral cycles. Food was carefully apportioned and eaten together, everyone was family. The arrival of Chinese army cars one day in 1959 changed everything. In the wake of the deadly Tibetan Uprising, he escaped to India through the Himalayas to start over as a refugee.

The cacophony of modern life can be deafening, leaving us feeling frazzled and uneasy. In this warm, wise book, Prem Rawat teaches us how to turn down the noise to “hear ourselves” - to listen to the subtle song of peace that sings inside each of us. Once we learn to truly “hear ourselves” and the voice of peace within, then we can hold on to that as we face all the noise of the world. The culmination of a lifetime of study, Hear Yourself lays out the crucial steps we can use to focus on the voice within.

At 36 years old, Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche was a rising star within his generation of Tibetan masters and the respected abbot of three monasteries. Then one night, telling no one, he slipped out of his monastery in India with the intention of spending the next four years on a wandering retreat, following the ancient practice of holy mendicants. His goal was to throw off his titles and roles in order to explore the deepest aspects of his being.

Women are often told by their communities that being a mother will complete or define them. But many women find themselves depleted and spiritually stagnant amid the everyday demands of being a mom. They long to experience a rich inner life but feel there is rarely enough time, energy, or stillness to connect with God in a meaningful way.

The subject was interesting, but not lively. Usually I prefer the author as narrator, but in this case I think it would have been better to choose someone else.

Bravo!
For me it was full of heart, thought-provoking, sad, authentic, and fun loving with a rich connection to acceptance, grief,...and self worth.
I connected with this memoir on such a deep level. Currently going through a similar time in life where love is longed for and even harder to find. It's inspiring me to take my own journey to another continent maybe to reawaken my soul and heart shakra.
Natasha journey is captivating, raw, and elegant. Her voice is soothing as she takes you to another country and depicts the food, air, clothing, culture in such a way that you feel like you are right there with her. Vulnerability and authenticity is hard to come by these days and you can hear both in her voice and in her words.
Truly enjoyed it- must read!!

This book far exceeded my expectations. Every sentence is like a jewel- colorful, rich, luscious, and full of depth. It gave language and validation to my own journey. Immediately upon finishing I had the urge to go back to the beginning and start it all over again.

An exciting true life awakening journey!
You know when a good writer can describe something so clearly that you feel it viscerally? This is Natasha Scripture's super power. Not many women commit to fiercely finding themselves and fewer still write about their journey. I am so happy Natasha shares herself in such a vulnerable and poignant way. It makes us all feel a little less alone when we can dive into a memoir and see ourselves in much of the struggles and triumphs. Man Fast inspires women to find fulfillment outside of what society has told them and ultimately inside themselves. You won't be disappointed!

Frustrated
I have never given a negative review before but I feel I need to be honest. First of all, Natasha should have had someone else read her book. I felt like she was disconnected from what she was saying, like she was reading somebody else’s diary. I was frustrated with her Sanskrit pronunciations - many mistakes. It felt like she had been given an assignment and had looked up definitions. The best parts of her book were other people’s quotes. If you want to feel inspired to get on the spiritual journey, then this book is probably not for you. I appreciate that she is at the beginning of her spiritual journey and that, for the most part, she is doing it without a teacher. I wanted to give up but I also hoped it would get better. Eventually it did near the end. She has obviously had some spiritual revelations; but she gained a little bit of knowledge, and then proceeded to come across as the teacher. The author makes enlightenment sound so easy. The fact is, to remain in that state requires much spiritual practice and can take lifetimes. The Gospel of Shri Ramakrishna describes the state very well. Having said all this, it is her story. I think she is an OK writer but neither particularly inspiring nor poetic. Given the subject matter, I was looking forward to listening to it. However, I was sorely disappointed. I hope she continues on her journey since it is the most exciting one that life has to offer.
