Welcome to Litsy!

A witty and life-affirming account of a spiritual seeker's year-long quest for enlightenment. Discover the magic of today's most popular spiritual practices in this fresh and funny account of embracing a year full of astrology, reiki, crystals, and more Introducing Emma Howarth: lifestyle journalist turned soul-seeker. Writing with humour and curiosity, Emma shows us that we don't need to fly to Italy, India, or Bali to have an adventure and find inner peace--there's plenty of magic right on our doorstep. At the end of 2017, feeling burnt out and broken, Emma decided to go on a year-long quest for inner peace--from the comfort of her own home. She tried all sorts of spiritual practices in a bid to derive more meaning from life. The result was a year that changed everything. A year that turned frantic chaos into life in the slow lane. A year of magic and moonlight and pink sky sunrises. A year fragranced with incense and burning herbs (that sometimes smelled suspiciously illegal). In A Year of Mystical Thinking, Emma shares her sparkling and fun account of the year that transformed her life and demystifies the world of new age spirituality, helping you to find practices that will bring new meaning and joy to your life. Each month Emma introduces a new spiritual practice, with practical, actionable tips--from how to create the perfect vision board to living by the phases of the Moon. Follow Emma's journey as she connects with spirit guides in February, obsesses over astrology in July, and learns about Reiki in November, and be inspired to embark on your own year of mystical thinking
