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—and 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 drumbeat, each moment, offers lessons of awakening, no matter how gritty the path.

A delightful and insightful journey through a collection of experiences displaying a greater overarching connection with metaphysical aspects of harmony and balance. The writing style is beautifully vivid in description and delivery. The audiobook incorporates the wonderful element of the author’s spoken word. Her voice has a sweet pleasant tone and cadence that is both sincere and inviting with personal inflections enhancing the presentation. What is also truly engaging about this work is the diverse levels of connection that can resonate with a variety of readers, from intriguing tales about a unique life of travel and personal encounters to the raised consciousness of spiritual exploration. This merging of concepts is offered while keeping a connection to rock and roll music, which holds a common beat throughout the book like a drum. From Bonham to Buddha and Back is an excellent book and an outstanding listening experience.
