Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2000 | Series: For Beginners (Llewellyn's)

Ancient Teachings for Beginners by Douglas De Long reveals the mysteries from the distant past and how they can lead to a brighter future in the New Age. It begins with a brief history of spiritual development from before ancient Egypt right up to the present. It continues by explaining the secrets of the aura and the chakras.

In this section you'll learn about the importance of the third eye chakra. It is related to the pineal gland and the third eye. Opening the third eye aids intuition, creativity, and psychic abilities. You can do this easily by "toning," "doing vibrational work" or chanting Thoh (rhymes with "toe") at a middle or high "C" note. This triggers a vibration in the pineal which cause the third eye and its chakra to open. The exact techniques are included in the book.

If you open the crown chakra (associated with the pituitary gland) you can improve some of your natural psychic abilities, including clairaudience, clairvoyance, and clairsentience. Vibrational work for this chakra uses the sound May. Breathing techniques and the exact way of toning to open the chakra are fully explained.

You'll also learn how to see the aura and interpret its colors, as well as how to open all of the chakras. The book also explains techniques to send the mysterious kundalini energy through the chakras.

But this book has more! It includes the secrets of channeling, such as working with angels and spirit guides. It goes on to share methods of astral projection and then reveals the secrets of reincarnation.

Ancient Teachings for Beginners is easy to understand and the techniques are a snap to use. If you are looking for an introduction to the secrets of the teachings of the ancient mystery schools, this book is for you!

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Most people in the West believe in a linear theory of time: there is a past, a present, and a future. In some other cultures there is a more circular notion to time. We are seen as living in one of many repeating cycles.

In astrology, these cycles take about 26,000 years and are associated with the signs of the zodiac. For example, we are now moving out of the Piscean Age and into the Aquarian Age.

In each period or cycle the valuable wisdom of the past is reinterpreted for the present. That's why Ancient Teachings for Beginners by Douglas De Long is such a vital book as we regain the old wisdom to use in the New Age.

The ancient teachings in this book are as fresh today as they were thousands of years ago. The methods of strengthening the aura, opening the chakras, and moving the kundalini are as appropriate today as they ever were. In fact, with people so short on time today, not having to spend years in mystery schools to learn these techniques makes this book more important than ever.

Today, many people channel spirits without any "filter" for unwanted entities. Channeling spirit entities and angels is an ancient tradition. This book shows you how to do it safely and quickly. It has four channeling techniques along with methods to prepare this practice.

With this book you'll also discover the ancient secrets of reincarnation and how to project your astral body.

Today, there is a crying need for spirituality. I don't think we can or should return to the past, but I do think it would be foolish not to learn from the past and reinterpret what is valuable for use in the future. This book can help you take that step, enhancing your own health, happiness, and spirituality for tomorrow. I hope you will take that step with me.
