Breathing Life Into Death: Poems, Songs & Visions
NEW BOOK by Pushkara Sally Ashford
There came a moment in my life when everything I thought I was—singer, artist, seeker, self-proclaimed “godless one”—fell away. I lost my voice, my art, and with them, my sense of identity and purpose. In the hollow silence that followed, I surrendered. And in that surrender, a simple cry for help sparked a profound spiritual awakening—one that shattered the boundaries of my mind and opened me to unseen realms.
Breathing Life Into Death traces my 46-year healing odyssey from the life-altering changes revealed in the light of Consciousness, followed soon afterward by a near-death experience. It’s both an intimate memoir and a mystical guide through the archetypal journey of death, rebirth, and transformation.
Infused with poems, song lyrics, and visionary insights drawn from hundreds of journal entries, this book reveals the raw and tender beauty of losing everything—only to discover what lies beyond. With honesty and openness, I share my lived experience of love without limits, the dissolution of ego, and the mystery of awakening.
This isn’t just a story—it’s an invitation. I welcome you to join the conversation on this website, https://singpeacepilgrimage.ning.com/, where we can reflect together on what it means to die before we die—and to truly live.
“Her lifelong song whispers a resonance with the archetypical nature of death and renewal.”
—Jerry Wennstrom, Artist & Author, The Inspired Heart and A Second Wind
