Journey to the Sacred Garden A Guide to Traveling in the Spiritual Realms

Hank Wesselman (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

At the heart of spiritual awakening lies the discovery that each of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms-a connection that defines the mystic. The Journey to the Sacred Garden guides us along a well-traveled path into this extraordinary experience and includes an experiential CD of shamanic drumming and rattling, providing us with an effective, easily learned technique for expanding awareness and shifting consciousness safely. The first goal: to find our Sacred Garden, a place for personal empowerment; as well as physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Once there, we learn through direct experience that the garden can be used as a gateway into the other levels of the inner worlds.

Anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., reveals that our garden operates by four primary rules:

oEverything in the garden is symbolic of some aspect of ourselves or our life experience.

oEverything in the garden can be communicated with, enhancing understanding.

oThe garden can be changed by doing work.

oWhen you change your garden, some part of you or your life will change in response.

5.0 out of 5 stars You can't help but succeed with this book, May 12, 2003

By	Anthony's Mom "actteachlive" (NY, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a well-written, beautiful little book written in peaceful yet eloquent language. Having had little success with meditation, I have been very excited about the consciousness states I have been able to achieve using the experiental CD included with the book. I also find that in addition to being relaxing and instructive (and incredibly entertaining), the shamanic state is indeed a real point of power. I have had almost instant "life feedback" or "results" - to use an informercial term - after visiting and learning in my own garden space. Read this book, and use the CD. It may prove to be invaluable for you as it has for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Working your garden brings growth., February 22, 2003

By	C. Rose (Eugene, Oregon) - See all my reviews

The premise is advancement of course, however the emphasis here is a direct look into the work one needs to perform in order to advance. I found the direction given to be highly sensible and realistic, no matter what your faith foundations are. The entire scope of this book actually fits what most consider acceptable genres, nothing leaps out as being extreme. In all my past readings I have found very few books to be applicable and truly functional, this has worked for me, I believe this is mostly true as I accept the down to Earth reality implied. I suggest another great book to help guide and advance in the spiritual realm, SB 1 or God by Karl Mark Maddox

4.0 out of 5 stars Journey to the Sacred Garden, October 13, 2005

By	Ms. Marilee A. Ryan "maroutwest" (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book and cd for a practical application in the direction of mediation and shamanism. It is more than an explanation of things and more of an experiential event. I recommend this book and the one that follows it for those who are looking to do work and have not yet found a group or teacher to help them with the real work.
