Editorial Reviews

Review

"...This book is a tremendous catalyst, causing the readers to re-examine their life, decisions, and spiritual path. I know I did." -- Magical Blend Magazine, July 2000

"Darrell Yardley shares with us his challenging journey to insight and enlightenment....-- an easy read into a powerful subject." -- Alan Seale, author of On Becoming a 21st-Century Mystic: Pathways to Intuitive Living

:Darrell Yardley's WindWalker is a story of a personal quest into purpose, metaphysics, spirituality and fun, from the seat of a Harley Davidson. It is a story of power, emotion, and adventure, touching deep into the spiritual roots of the author's journey into authentic selfhood. Described as "A Vision Quest on a Harley," WindWalker is the author's own inspirational, true-life journey from scientist and professor to mystic, teacher, and personal and spiritual coach. It is a story of personal exploration and transition told against a backdrop of motorcycle adventures and exotic journeys into Native American spirituality and shamanism. This book is an inspiration for those wanting to make transition and changes in their own lives, searching for a path with a heart, and wanting to live a more authentic life. -- Patrick Williams, President Therapist University and Master Certified Coach

A fantastic journey of spiritual transition and empowerment. -- Diane Zimberoff, author of Breaking Free from the Victim Trap

Darrell Yardley's WindWalker is such an excitement, from the cover's design, color, and layout to the powerful story itself. His motorcycle is more than a bike: it is his partner, much like another person traveling with him on his spiritual and personal journey. I could not put this book down and got up in the middle of the night to finish reading it. The book is so personal that as I read, I could hear his voice as if he were speaking directly to me. So powerful is his story that it reawakened in me my own experiences in the Temazcal, Native American Sweat Lodge, and other experiences. His book also reawakened the things in my own life that I had not been doing, like meditating, to move forward on my own spiritual journey. It was like a wakeup call for my own spiritual path.... -- Ruth Terry, a reader

From the Author

WindWalker: Journey into Science, Self, and Spirit is a story of personal power, emotion, and adventure, touching deep into the spiritual roots of my life's journey into authentic self. Described as "A Vision Quest on a Harley," WindWalker is my true-life journey from scientist and professor to mystic and teacher. It is a story of personal empowerment and transition told against a backdrop of motorcycle adventures and exotic journeys into Native American spirituality and shamanism. I hope the book is an inspiration for those wanting to make transition and changes in their own lives, searching for a path with a heart, or wanting to live a more authentic life.

Starting in the wilds of Wyoming and South Dakota and a Zen-like enlightenment experience while riding, the book covers an eleven-year period of my life as my family and I undergo transition and change. On the desert winds of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, you can ride with me as I tell my story. The story is interspersed with teachings about the martial arts, Zen Buddhism, Kundalini energy, psychology, physics, biology, and shamanism. In the enchanted land of Mexico I describe a rebirthing and Mayan sweat lodge experience as the world of Spirit tries to get my attention. Against this, the Harley is a metaphor for power and change--it is the horse that carries me, like a warrior, into this journey to reclaim my personal power.
