NEW 2004 - SPIRIT MEDICINE | LITTLE RUTH REDDINGFORD JOURNEY TO THE SACRED GARDEN | SPIRITWALKER
MEDICINEMAKER | VISIONSEEKER
These extraordinary books, written by a scientist, give us an unprecedented glimpse into the origin as well as the destiny of our species. They document a true hero's journey revealing who and what we may all become when we accept the call to adventure, experience authentic initiation, and return from our quest as world redeemers.
The rediscovery that each one of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms lies right at the heart of the spiritual reawakening sweeping the Western world- a phenomenon explored by anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., in his widely read book The Journey to the Sacred Garden. In Spirit Medicine, Dr. Wesselman is joined by his wife, transpersonal medical practitioner Jill Kuykendall, RPT., to present us with a cross-cultural consideration of illness, healing, and health care from the ancient wisdom of the traditional peoples. Spirit Medicine opens a window into a universal worldview that will help you:
- understand the classic causes of illness--an essential step in true healing;
- work with the four levels of spiritual healing;
- expand your connections to inner sources of wisdom and power; and
- deepen your contacts with your helping spirits and healing masters.
Spirit Medicine will provide you with the singular key to success that energy medicine by itself lacks. It will also provide you with a perspective derived from the Hawaiian kahuna tradition in which knowledge of the soul cluster, as well as the multileveled nature of reality, forms the foundation. Included is an experiential CD of shamanic drumming and rattling to be used with specific exercises and meditations designed to enhance your healing practice for yourself and others.
Spirit Medicine reconsiders and reworks the time-tested techniques pioneered by the shamans of the indigenous peoples, providing nontribal Westerners with extraordinarily effective insights into healing and problem solving.
Words of Praise
"SPIRIT MEDICINE reveals an indigenous medical system that is so sophisticated it makes ours look amateurish in many respects, especially regarding the role of spirit, consciousness, and love in healing. This book is a window that sheds vital light on our own healing system, without which it will never be complete. Hank Wesselman and Jill Kuykendall are to be commended. They are skillful guides and a bridge between two worlds. SPIRIT MEDICINE does what any good book should do: it helps the reader translate words into a living reality, thereby changing one's life."
--Larry Dossey, M.D., Author of Healing Beyond The Body, Reinventing Medicine and Healing Words.
RUTH REDDINGFORD
and the Wolf Hank has also written a book for children of all ages. "Children will enjoy this lively new rendition of an age-old classic. Little Ruth Reddingford loves visiting her grandmother, so when Grandma can't pick her up for their week-end picnic, Red takes matters into her own hands. While taking an short-cut through the woods, she is confronted by bullies. The ensuing adventure takes a surprising twist as Red discovers the power of her Native American heritage and makes an unusual new friend."

At the heart of spiritual awakening lies the discovery that each of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms 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:
- Everything in the garden is symbolic of some aspect of ourselves or our life experience.
- Everything in the garden can be communicated with, enhancing understanding.
- The garden can be changed by doing gardenwork.
- When you change your garden, some part of you or your life will change in response.

An astonishing true story of an anthroplologist's quest into a world of magic, mysticism and meaning.
Not since Carlos Castaneda's tutelage under the Yaqui Indian guide Don Juan
has there been a spiritual autobiography quite like SPIRITWALKER. Hank
Wesselman's incredible true story begins with a series of vivid dreams he
had while living on the flank of an active volcano in Hawai'i. Eventually
Dr. Wesselman became convinced that what he'd experienced were not merely
dreams but a visionary encounter with what shamans have long called the
'spirit world.' |
|
In this world, he met a fellow traveler, a Hawaiian kahuna mystic named
Nainoa. What did Nainoa seek from Dr. Wesselman? What did the anthropologist
have to learn from this exotic traveler from another time and place?
Maintaining his scientific objectivity, Dr. Wesselman embarked on a mystical
journey beyond the boundaries of ordinary consciousness. The result is a
fascinating adventure, an exciting discovery, and the story of how a
hard-headed scientific realist may have stumbled on an important piece in
the puzzle of human evolution.
Socially urgent and disturbingly prophetic, SPIRITWALKER has a universal
mythic resonance and an undeniable relevance for today as it challenges our
perceptions of our world. our reality, and our future.
REVIEWS of SPIRITWALKER
What a fabulous, stunning, inspiring account! This book explodes our
narrow ways of thinking about the nature of the mind, and reveals consciousness as it
really is -- unbounded, beyond brain and body, infinite in space and time, divine.
Wesselman is a bold visionary and a courageous scientist whose mission is to find and
reveal Truth. SPIRITWALKER is a modern hero's journey. It is the story of someone who
risks everything, and whose wisdom and acts of courage may help redeem us.
--Larry Dossey, M.D. Author of Healing Words: The Power of Prayer and the Practice of Medicine, Meaning & Medicine, Recovering the Soul |

In the brilliant visionary tradition of Carlos Castaneda, anthopologist Hank
Wesselman first documented his spiritual journey in the internationally
acclamied SPIRITWALKER. His travels through the spirit world continue in
this astonishing book, leading us into the heart of one of the greatest
mysteries of existence.
Dr. Wesselman's inspiring quest began with a dramatic spiritual encounter on
the island of Hawai'i in which his mind was brought into connection with the
consciousness of another man named Nainoa, a kahuna initiate and fellow
mystic traveler. Though he feared his connection to Nainoa would be severed
when he moved to San Diego in 1989, in the year that followed, he
experienced a trance of intense, exquisite clarity in which his mind once
again merged with that of Nainoa. |
It became obvious that their odyssey of
discovery had just begun, and the true purpose of their profound yet cryptic
contact began to take shape. It became apparent that Wesselman had gained
access to some inner doorway, putting him in the presence of a transcendent
life force and intelligence. On the threshold of a dazzling new
understanding of nature, he was a shaman in training, an initiate into the
sacred, secret healing powers of the spirit world.
This remarkable book also takes us on expedition to Africa and gives us an
unprecedented glimpse into the origin and destiny of our species. Hank
Wesselman has brought back from his extraordinary travels an extraordinary
message: the keys to personal power and the healing of all humankind.
