From Bonham to Buddha and Back

What does it look like to follow a contemplative path of study and practice while also being very much in the world as a Rock-and-Roll drummer?In this memoir, Clementine Moss - a depth hypnosis practitioner and spiritual counselor who is also the founding drummer of the Led Zeppelin powerhouse Zepparella - offers her music career as a metaphor for spiritual practice.Performing live, musicians seek to find that place beneath thought, where the song plays them. Life on the road offers ample opportunity to investigate the ego attachments that perpetuate misery. Clementine illustrates transcendent moments of oneness in a venue crammed with people-then steps off the stage into struggles of self-consciousness, competition, heartache, and loss.What does a "spiritual" life look like anyway? How does contemplative practice figure in the day-to-day? In this reflective book, Clementine shines light on how each drum beat, each moment, offers lessons of awakening, no matter how gritty the path.
