While working as a scientist, Francis Moraine attempted a mindfulness-of-breathing meditation and soon experienced unexpected and wonderful states of consciousness. This motivated him to pursue a rigorous program of meditation, which he upholds to this day. His experiences inspired him to write stories designed to help readers discover their innate spiritual abilities. The illustrated novella Beulah Who Thought She Was Swimming is such a tale.
Beulah's story is entertaining for young and old. In a fanciful manner, it brings to life the wisdom of mystical texts including the Yoga Sutras and the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
