In THROUGH THE THOUGHT CLOUDS

you’ll meet…

Mira & Her heart

MIRA is an ever-curious, joyful inner child who loves to follow her heart, and why not, because…

MIRA’S HEART represents inner wisdom and the Love that we all are. In ACIM terms, the heart symbolizes the Holy Spirit, the mediator between reality and illusions.

Other characters in the book include a lizard as the ego, Mira’s friend Sandy, stars as miracles and others—all drawn to help us move forward, towards more light & Love.

“We love this book. It is a unique guide to miracles.

Written and presented with imagination and creativity.

There are beautiful insights and helpful practices on every page.”

Hi,

It’s me, elinap!

I’m the author and illustrator of this book and can’t wait to share it with you!

You might have heard of A Course in Miracles Workbook, but if not…

It’s a year-long self-study program that has sold over three million copies worldwide. It’s often described as obscure and hard to read…

…but it wasn’t hard for me—quite the opposite!

That’s because I had the joy of having my doodle character, Mira, join my journey through the lessons from early on. Now, I want to share the joy she brought to me and my studies WITH YOU!

Mira’s delightful innocence is so charming that it quiets the ego and makes it easier to look into the deep wisdom of the lessons!

Through the Thought Clouds is an exploration of the first 60 Workbook lessons—More to come in sequels!

“What I like about Through the Thought Clouds is the way it makes me feel. The characters are so expressive that they remind me of my inner child, so innocent and naive but also brave.

The way the book is written is so easy to comprehend. I had lots of aha’s and felt heard and seen, especially realizing that Mira is struggling in the same way I do and there is always help if I am willing to see it.”

My Decade with A Course in Miracles

A Course in Miracles was introduced to me as a secret, mysterious, heavy read that’s not for everyone… which, of course, made me even more curious—I couldn’t resist taking a closer look!

When I first opened ACIM in 2014, it immediately felt like coming home. Eventually, ACIM helped me understand that the broken crazy world I see (in which I often feel like I don’t belong) isn’t the only truth. What a relief! The world of Love has always been so much more real to me.

In Through the Thought Clouds, I share with you a collection of illustrations from the beginning of my own ACIM journey that illuminate a quote or an idea, or tell a story from each of the first 60 ACIM Workbook lessons.

These illustrations came to me through an unexpected and miraculous experience I had when I first started studying and was trying to make sense of it all by fervently writing my study notes and showing up daily to dive deep:

After just a few days, a little angry (oh wow, was she grumpy back then!) stick figure girl popped out of my pen with clenched fists and a frown on her face. She winked at me and started to help me understand what I was reading.

With each lesson, the tiny stick-figure, named Mira, took over more and more space on the pages of my notebook and as her heart started to open, so did mine. She filled my journey with hope, light and laughter!

Whenever I took the Course too seriously, she hopped onto the page again, made me laugh out loud and relax.

I was also delighted by a renewed joy and effortlessness in drawing that accompanied Mira’s arrival. With Mira it wasn’t so serious. Being a stick-figure, Mira conveyed ideas without pressure to be perfect, and thus helped me rekindle my passion to draw after having lost it for some time. Her appearance has since evolved gradually from a stick-figure to what it is now.

This past decade as an ACIM student has taught me that the spiritual path is a winding road that offers plenty of opportunities to grow and learn. With Mira’s presence in my life, I’ve been able to bounce back to Love more quickly—she’s a great reminder of Love’s presence in our lives.

My wish is that by sharing Mira’s delightful nature with you, your studies and your return to Love become smoother too!
