I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to connect back to nature or things like shamanism. People into hypnosis are also likely to enjoy the book. (

An adequate review of various practices. Worth reading as an introduction. I was very disappointed with the section about the culture we live in. I don't understand at all how "finding new energy sources" belongs in a book about the spirit. Our culture's addiction to electricity and gasoline is the problem, not the solution, and has nothing to do with spirituality. We don't need energy sources, we need to end our addiction to such things. My second complaint, is that this book is written from a colonizer perspective, even suggesting that civilization itself is a good thing. Modern civilization is a great empire that has been destroying the many indigenous cultures the author's have learned from, and part of our goal should be the dismantling of this culture, and in creating a new society based on reciprocity instead of empire. All that said, most of the book is worthy of reading in order to discover new methods. (

A very nice book which goes over a lot of different things. I was slightly of put by the authors not really going into any warnings and mentions of the potential dangers of journeying however as well as stating that all spirits were especially helping spirits. In general though I enjoyed the book and have a lot of interesting information and thoughts. (
