Champagne to Consciousness is a creative spiritual memoir.
I call it that, as it’s both fiction and non-fiction.
It started out as a diary of my experiences in 2009, while I invested time in self discovery and meditation at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, and had taken on a practice of writing at least fifteen minutes a day.
Now, after almost a decade of going over that writing in a process of deep soul searching, self reflection and as I continued to advance my training, it has blossomed into the tale of Moksha and her courageous spiritual journey.
Moksha is my own creation, and precious labor of love.
Champagne to Consciousness is by far, the greatest creative endeavor of my life.
Through Moksha may we rise in consciousness, growth and spiritual enlightenment.
– Sushma Zahira Gidwani
Compelled to turn the pages of Champagne to Consciousness at a galloping pace, I adored the illuminating adventures where a Sindhi Princess, a Tantric Goddess and an angst ridden Bridget Jones all co-habitate within the being of Moksha.
Our heroine, Moksha, dives deep into her precious heart, beyond the trauma of lost love and inherited family patterns and brings us, alongside her, smack bang into the joy and humour of the present moment.
This book mysteriously delivers the spacious presence required for awakening our hearts and facing our own darkness, rather than sweeping it under the proverbial carpet. The reward for the reader is aliveness.
Bravo to Sushma Zahira for having the wit and commitment to bring Moksha and her journey of evolution into our hungry consciousness. I can’t wait to be enlightened by the next two sequels.

Sushma Zahira unabashedly allows the reader into the flow of a mind that is alert to its antics. She skillfully pours light on the saakshi, the witness that observes the traffic of the mind. The map she lays out is a universal one, for those whose spiritual search is sincere.

Weaving a tale of heartbreak into a tapestry of self actualization, we follow Moksha’s journey as she navigates through her time of gut wrenching soul growth.
Poignant and raw, Champagne to Consciousness offers the reader a deeply personal connection to Moksha, her battles and resulting insight as she triumphantly conquers it all, forever changed, enlightened and ready to bring us all with her to this place of higher conscious living.

Sushma Zahira’s book, Champagne to Consciousness is a journey that takes you into the inner workings of a girl called Moksha, who enlightens us, ignites spirituality in us and takes us down some winding paths with her sub conscious mind—all while highlighting a very tender story that encapsulates what all of us humans go through.
The main character reveals many universal truths which give us a sense of connection to her story. Moksha’s transformation is real, raw and causes the reader to journey with her into her spiritual mind, which transports us into two different worlds, as she battles to find her true identity.
A great read, with wonderful imagery oscillating between eastern and western values.
