Customer Reviews

I got the book with no CD!!!??

I started reading this and so far so good, except the CD is not in the back. Kind of disappointing since I would need it to do the journeying.

a great meditation tool

Very different from Dr. Wesselman's first three books about Nainoa; this is a great meditation tool.

Excellent introduction

This is an excellent introduction to shamanic journeying. Your own experience and mileage may vary, but you will have a better idea of how to go about journeying, and what you might expect. It's a short read - I was done in an hour or so. The included CD is worth the price of the book - 2 sessions, 30 minutes each, of either drumming or rattling. There are no vocals in the recordings; it's just pure drum or rattle. I have worked with journey CDs in which the author counts you down, takes you into the journey, etc etc. It's refreshing to have just the sounds and be able to control it myself.

Exquisite little book

This lovely little book makes it easy for the beginner or delightful for the experienced "traveler" to visit their own personal garden or sacred space deeply. The accompanying CD adds immensely to the process and is part of the reason I purchased the book. Having recently attended one of Hank Wesselman's workshops, I found that this book an CD are like being at the workshop!

You can't help but succeed with this book

This is a well-written, beautiful little book written in peaceful yet eloquent language. Having had little success with meditation, I have been very excited about the consciousness states I have been able to achieve using the experiental CD included with the book. I also find that in addition to being relaxing and instructive (and incredibly entertaining), the shamanic state is indeed a real point of power. I have had almost instant "life feedback" or "results" - to use an informercial term - after visiting and learning in my own garden space. Read this book, and use the CD. It may prove to be invaluable for you as it has for me.

Working your garden brings growth.

The premise is advancement of course, however the emphasis here is a direct look into the work one needs to perform in order to advance. I found the direction given to be highly sensible and realistic, no matter what your faith foundations are. The entire scope of this book actually fits what most consider acceptable genres, nothing leaps out as being extreme. In all my past readings I have found very few books to be applicable and truly functional, this has worked for me, I believe this is mostly true as I accept the down to Earth reality implied. I suggest another great book to help guide and advance in the spiritual realm, SB 1 or God by Karl Mark Maddox
