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.

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!

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.

This book has a remarkable gift inside: a framework for healing the self and developing into a self-actualized citizen of the world that goes way beyond Id, Ego, and Superego. If only we all had grandmothers who could love us in such clear and practical ways that we learned to see the guideposts along life's journey. Well, guess what, we do. The grandmother in MESHE... she belongs to us all. Ms. Farris has seen to that by sharing her through the eyes of the child within us all. A medicine story as powerful and relevant as the The Education of Little Tree, The Celestine Prophecies, and Medicine Woman, MESHE, HESHE, MISON, and ORBIT takes us to the place our souls feel at home. Plus, it's written beautifully!
