Eric Bullard is a number-one, best-selling author, Siddha, Reiki Master, and Zindaoji practitioner. Born in Portland, Oregon, he left home at an early age to travel the world, studying Humanistic Psychology and meditation with Randy Revell, Deepak Chopra, and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Entering a Hindu ashram at the age of twenty-six, he spent the next seven years studying Ayurveda and deep meditation techniques.
Moving to Central America after leaving the ashram, Eric lived and worked with the Highland Mayan tribes (the Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Mam, and Ixil Maya) of Northern Guatemala and Chiapas, Mexico. Traveling extensively throughout the region, Eric also took the time to study with Mexico’s foremost Reiki Master, Miriam Cano Garcia, becoming a second-level Reiki Master.
Making a pilgrimage to the Indian and Nepalese Himalaya in 2005, Eric continued his studies in meditation and Ayurveda, as well as new investigations into Tibetan Buddhism. During the almost three years Eric was in the Himalayas, he lived, worked, studied, and taught in various Tibetan Buddhist Gompas. Most notably, Ki Gompa in Spiti Valley, India, home to Lochen Tulku Rinpoche, reincarnation of Rinchen Zangpo, chief priest and Vajracharya of Tholing in the Guge Kingdom of Tibet.
Publishing his first book in 2014, “THE ASHRAM a true story of enlightenment and the dark night of the soul” details the truly amazing set of experiences Eric had while living in a Hindu ashram. The second edition of that book was published in 2017. Publishing his second book in 2019, “ZIHUATANEJO a true story of exile, love, war, and murder south of the border” quickly became a number-one, best-seller in that year and then again in 2023. In between, in 2022, Eric published his third book and first novel, “THE RIVER YU a life-changing journey of spirit.” And in 2024, he published his long-awaited Travel-Memoir, “TRAVELOGUE travel tales from around the globe.” Presently he is working on a three-book series known as "THE ANANDALAND TRILOGY" and a second collection of short stories entitled "TRAVELOGUE II more travel tales from around the globe.”
Eric divides his time between Portland, Oregon in the United States, San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico, and various other locations around the globe where he continues his writing, teaches, and lectures.
