Alessandrina Lerner is the author of four books. All 3 of her Poetry books, "The Essence of Love" (Sep'09), "Spiritual Metamorphosis" (Feb'10) and "Have You Seen My Childhood" (Mar'10) are adorned with beautiful illustrations made by the author's daughter, a precocious 10-year old Artist, Amandine Love Lerner. Alessandrina's poetry does not only use the poetic imagery and innate musicality of words but also aspires to take the readers on a journey to the core of themselves through inspirational poems of a meditative nature. Alessandrina is also the author of a novel, "Spiritual Enlightenment in the Age of Cybersex" (Dec' 09), a comedic spiritual gem which introduces Spiritual teachings with humor and a real urban flavor, making them accessible to a modern, and maybe a little less spiritually inclined crowd.
Alessandrina Lerner has been writing poetry since she was 8, and wrote her first short novel when she was 12. Though she left her childhood dreamworld, obtained an MBA in International Finance from French Ivy league University Paris IX- Dauphine, and went on to pursue a high profile career in the world of International Finance, Alessandrina never forgot her true love and kept cultivating a passion for writing all throughout, continuing to write poetry and short stories as a hobby, whenever time allowed.
Traveling to over 55 countries in the context of her career, she fulfilled the explorative part of her dream, yet found herself seeking more meaningful experiences to further nourish her soul. Motherhood pushed her further in that direction, propping her to quit her job and start training with a Spiritual Indian Master to become a Yoga Therapist, now her primary occupation since 2001.

Though I don’t consider myself a spiritual master in any way, I’ve always tried to share the knowledge and awareness I gained through early exposure to spirituality with all my friends and clients in hope that I might inspire others to pursue more harmonious living too. "Spiritual Enlightenment in the Age of Cybersex" is nothing but an extension of all the casual conversations and spiritual advice I’ve shared throughout the years. But let’s get back to where it all started, just two friends sharing metaphysical thoughts about life through the unlikely medium of text messages. As ironic as this may sound, Spirituality follows the same law of evolution as anything else in existence, and come to think of it, why should the modern communication media of this CyberAge be perceived as any less tangible than the virtual reality we live in anyway? Now, weeks into our “textual” relationship, I started a transcript of our “pearls of wisdom” in an effort to save them from being engulfed in the vortex of cyberspace. As I distanced myself from it, the script evolved into this urban flavored farcical satire that saw the birth of two characters eager to spread their own personal spiritual message. Far from esoteric language, mystical concepts, and other formalities, the spiritual teachings imparted in my novel are intended for a less spiritually-inclined crowd. In short, “Spiritual Enlightenment in the Age of Cybersex” plainly exposes the false belief that one must become an Ascetic in order to embrace Spirituality. In the spirit of Tantra, it invites people from all walks of life to explore a multitude of platforms through which to nourish one’s soul and ultimately find the path best suited to their personality. This novel will let you dive into higher grounds, free yourself from your antics and idiosyncrasies, and discover a world of spirituality like never before.
