Thanks to her latest book, “Peering Through the Veil: The Step by Step Guide to Meditation and Inner Peace,” Radford resident Debbie “Takara” Shelor is now an Amazon best-selling author.

After graduating from Virginia Tech in 1987 with a degree in industrial engineering, she headed off into the business world and the climb up the corporate ladder. Her career success was won at a high price. The more success she achieved, the higher her stress level became. Eventually she hit the wall. Realizing that stress was literally killing her, she decided her life needed to head in an entirely new direction. She left the corporate world, moved to an island, and co-founded a nonprofit for dolphins and whales. And that was just the beginning.

In “Peering Through the Veil,” she takes the reader along on her 18-year exploration of meditation, inner peace, world travel and spirituality. In addition to practicing numerous forms of meditation from many traditions, she traveled extensively throughout North America, lived in Santa Fe, New Mexico, for more than nine years, and also aboard a million-dollar yacht in the South Pacific for awhile.

Readers of “Peering Through the Veil” have the opportunity to discover myriad meditation methods including: transcendental meditation made popular by The Beatles, Native American sweat lodge, the latest scientifically proven brainwave technologies, and many more. In addition to the various meditation forms, Takara explains ways to get the most benefit out of each meditation experience and how to not only achieve tranquility, inner peace, lower blood pressure, and improved health, but how to find joy and an endless spring of creative inspiration and insight, as well.

The book was officially launched Aug. 24 and the following day reached No. 2 in its category on Amazon. Visit http://www.PeeringThroughTheVeil.com for more details and to purchase.
