In Free Fall My Experiments with Living by Sarabhai, Mallika ventes exceptionnelles NEUF

Description

In this frank portrayal of her extraordinary life, Mallika doesnt hold back

in talking about her thirty-year obsession with being thin; her addictions

like smoking and how she hypnotised her way out of it; her fascination with

alternate therapies like Pranik healing, Ayurveda and colour therapy, and

the beauty treatments she uses for future-proofing her body so that she can

continue to dance and perform for years to come.

She speaks with equal candour about her battles with grief and depression-

when she lost her beloved father, the space scientist Vikram Sarabhai, in 1971;

a painful break-up with a man she loved; and her ups and downs with her

children, due, in part, to her own relationships. The loss of her mother, dancer

Mrinalini Sarabhai, in 2016, left her bereft; yoga, dance, transcendental

meditation and NVC-Non-violent Communication-were some of the ways

that she coped.

Laced with humour and an earthy wisdom, In Free Fall is all about coming to

terms with yourself and your body and finding the lifestyle that works for you.

And how to make mistakes, pick yourself up and carry on. Never preachy,

this self-help memoir delivers an immensely useful message for anyone who

wants good health-and happiness
