This review is from: Pathway to Ecstasy: The Way of the Dream Mandala (Paperback)

The author has been a dream walker for her whole life and has taught many classes with people about it, to activate their own dream work. Her books capture some of the flavor of her more interpersonal work with others. This book shows her more mature and with a deeper system. Based on the Five Buddha Mandala, she works a more intentionally holistic process. I feel she added a dimension to my own Buddhist orientation with her fresh and creative approach to the Mandala. Although she did not say so outright, it seems that she got some flack from some Buddhist orthodoxy because of it. I hope that this review is something of a validation of her work. I would recommend her work even to Buddhists to understand a very core mandala in a more universal sense. She gives some useful structure to connect with the healing energies that float in the dream world and which open us up to a larger visualized yet real universe which I feel our waking life is a part of.
