Editorial Reviews

Review

A delight to read. Thought provoking, enchanting, enticing. A pleasant route for a person to arrive at peace with himself. -- Peggy, Central California

I read it cover to cover, and the only time I put it down was to eat! -- Benjamin Shield, author of For the Love of God, Handbook for the Heart, Handbook for the Soul, and Healers on Healing

It was wonderful - similar to Celestine Prophesy, in the vibrations and the opening up to the universe - but more personal. -- Pam, Southern California

More than a magical, mystical tale, it’s an inspired guidebook, enlightening the reader with practical tools for surviving life's transitions. -- Cheryl Tiegs, Actress/Model

Wise, delightful - brings the reader, young and old, to a way of dealing with the elements of growth and change. -- Shirley, Louisianna

5.0 out of 5 stars For That Kid in You Who Doesnt Care About Age, August 7, 2003

MESHE, HESHE, MISON & ORBIT: What My Grandmother Taught Me About the Universe is an amazing story told through the eyes of a young girl.

When I started reading MESHE, I wondered what could an adolescent girl and her grandmother teach me. As I read nightly barely able to put the book down, I learned I had a lot to learn - and remember. I realized that as I've walked the path of my adulthood I have forgotten my dreams, how to have fun and what the things are that make my heart sing. And I saw that in not remembering and not taking the time to focus on them, that maintaining balance in my life has become a struggle. It soon became apparent that it did not matter the age of the main character. What mattered was how I want to live my life - centered, passionate and balanced.

After I finished reading the last chapter, I pulled the MESHE chart (you'll have to read the book to find out what that is) from the back cover, got out my colored pens and began drawing my hearts desires. When I was done, I realized something in me had shifted and...I highly recommend MESHE, HESHE, MISON & ORBIT for that kid in you who doesn't care about age but cares everything about living life centered, peaceful and in the spirit of having fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very special book, October 24, 2000

By

This review is from: MESHE, HESHE, MISON & ORBIT: What My Grandmother Taught Me About the Universe (Hardcover)

Karen Farris has written a very special book that will not only appeal to, but greatly benefit young adults who are questioning their intuition, power, direction and general relationship with the world. But the book will also appeal to not-so-young adults as well. I was surprised to learn that it was not a true autobiography because the main charachter is so fully realized. I think it would be a lovely gift, especially from a grandmother to a granddaughter. The message is that you are already in the right place but you just need to appreciate your surroundings and the people in your life. No need to battle against it. There is a lot of wisdom here!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth reading., July 21, 2001

This review is from: MESHE, HESHE, MISON & ORBIT: What My Grandmother Taught Me About the Universe (Hardcover)

An adorable story that carries you along its pages through an adolescent's eyes coupled with the worldly wisdom of a respected family elder. It's simple truths and lessons capture your awareness and are applicable to all aspects of life and all age groups. Through the application of the practices outlined within this story, one has the ability to concretely and effectively identify, discern, separate and accept the many different aspects of self. In so doing, it also offers the opportunity to better keep one's life in balance; teaching you to live in the present and to live truthfully with yourself. A sweet tale, softly spoken and easy to identify with. Applied, its universal truths allow for one's own personal flowering and growth.
