This fascinating little book explores the ancient tradition of "spirit guides," how to access them and how to make use of them in everyday life. There's an amazing amount of life-changing information and insights packed into these pages: important historical background; famous spiritual teachers' use of guides; Jungian influences; the author's lifetime of work with his own guides; spirit guides and Near-Death experiences; scientific explanations for the existence of the inner world; the meaning of imaginary playmates in childhood; how spirit guides can empower our intuitive abilities, and simple, no-nonsense instructions that help readers access and work with their own spirit guides. Readers of the three previous editions of this popular book will want to add this edition to their collection just for the new chapter: "Choices On the Spiritual Path," wherein the author draws from the "spiritist" teachings of the 18th century Swedish philosopher and theologian, Emanuel Swedenborg, to better understand the subtlest messages of both higher and lower spiritual influences in our lives. This book has become a classic in the field of personal and spiritual development and a resource praised by some of the world's best known teachers and counselors.

A fast-paced story that reads like a mystery, with rich characters and an engaging plot, Spirit Circle is based on ancient legends and shamanic revelations of the Southwest. Bestselling novelist Lynn V. Andrews (Medicine Woman) called this "a marvelous story, with all the twists and turns deserving of the deeper spiritual mysteries it unfolds...as enchanting as it is deepening and enlightening." The Story: Tara Fairfield's search for her missing father takes her into sacred sites in New Mexico where mythology and contemporary reality merge. There she is initiated into a shamanic culture of healing and transformation, guided by an ancient prophecy that she must share with others. Like Tara, readers are brought closer to spiritual meaning and purpose where their own inner world connects them with ancient truths and brings them closer to the natural world. Award winning book illustrator Angela Werneke compares Spirit Circle to "a Tony Hillerman mystery shape-shifted to spiritual odyssey...with appeal for readers exploring Earth-based spiritual traditions." While a highly engaging novel, readers will also enjoy the author's epilogue and his discussion of the active role of shamanism in modern life, linking it to events described in the story. Includes easy to apply principles of the ancient "Medicine Wheel" traditions and ways to use this spiritual tool for self-consulting and deepening understanding of our relationships with each other in contemporary life.
