While science has given us a concrete understanding of the atom and has taken man to the moon, we have become ignorant of things as ancient as ley lines. (Originating at power centers, ley lines crisscross the earth to form an energy grid. Monuments such as Stonehenge are often located at power centers.) Bernyce Barlow attempts to counter this lack of knowledge by taking us on a tour of places in the western United States that ancient cultures knew to be charged by special energies but with which modern science has lost touch. More than just a tour guide, Barlow explains the theories of ion flows, Earth physics, and ley lines so that we not only know the "where" but the "why" and the best ways to experience the energies that exist in these places.
From Library Journal
In this unusual travel guide, Barlow, a Californian and retired educator and abuse therapist, describes natural energy centers throughout the American West, Hawaii, and Mexico. Biofields, the physics of matter, and energy anomalies have created natural phenomena that have the ability to influence us spiritually, mentally, and physically, she notes. Barlow particularly appeals to women as she describes goddess and warrior sites, centers of emergence, balance and harmony, petroglyphs, and springs and mountains that have powerful spirits of place. Although she cautions us to come prepared to these sacred sites, she provides no practical advice, directions, or traditional travel-guide information such as lodging and meals. Recommended only where interest in New Age topics is high.?Janine A. Reid, Jefferson Cty. P.L., Lakewood, Colo.
