"Jan's CD creates a powerful energetic field that draws the journeyer into a very organic, earthy, indigenous essence. Right from the very beginning, with Jan's ethereal calling in of the spirits, you know you have stepped into a very different realm of journeywork."
Marilyn
"I now exclusively use 'Take Your Body with You' CD for all my healing sessions. Even clients with no journey experience are able to have profound engagement with Spirit when this music is the foundation of a session. The aboriginal blend of pulse, sound, and calls opens doorways to other realms that beckon spiritual seekers of all abilities."

BECOMING YOURSELF: The Journey from Head to Heart (Winner of Editor's Choice Award)
"In this classic, Jan outlines basic truths and unifying principles that exist to guide our lives. She uses shamanism, mysticism, psychology, her personal
stories and more to lead students in the "chipping away process" of discovering a personal spiritual path. Chapters describe such topics as shamanism, and soul retrieval, universal laws, beliefs, miracles, karma,
ritual, ceremony and prayer. Most chapters include exercises to help you internalize the concepts. This is a great tool box in the healing process!"
Reviewed by Connie Hill New Renaissance Bookshop
"Jan's teachings, as conveyed in Becoming Yourself: The Journey from Head to Heart, contain the potent ingredients for connecting us with our divine birthright. Combined with readiness and commitment, these teachings have led me on an expansive trajectory of spiritual growth and manifestation that I never imagine possible."

MEDICINE FOR THE EARTH
How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins
Sandra Ingerman
From cross-cultural legends recounting shamanic cures to the biblical accounts of the parting of the Red Sea and Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes, many spiritual traditions are rich in stories about seemingly inexplicable transformations of the natural world. The ancient healing art of transmutation, in which toxic substances are transformed into "safe" substances, is mentioned in all the world's great spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Taoism. And while many have tapped this body of work to heal the self, it has yet to be used to heal our environment.

THE SPIRITUAL FLOWER: The Opening Up of Your Intuitive
This book is a “must read guide” for anyone wishing to awaken their “psychic or intuitive abilities” or to avail themselves of alternative methods of predicting what “will be coming,” and how to make sure that you are not only giving the most “accurate information available,” but the best advice as to “what needs to be seen” or “what needs to be changed” in order to bring in the “desired positive life-results.” That by using your talents in a helpful, compassionate, and caring way, you “send out healing” that actually manifests back to you over and over in a “positive way” in “all aspects of your life.”

TAROT: Intuition Through Interpretation
This book is written as a companion book to The Spiritual Flower, which shows you how to prepare your cards and gives the complete individual interpretation of each card from the Rider-Waite Tarot Deck. Please also know that in each of these stories, when I refer to myself, I say “We or Us.” This is because it is not I who gives the answers to the questions asked, for it is a combined effort between Spirit, The Universe, and my Guides that the information is revealed. I am just the medium by which the message is delivered. Also, that the person looking for answers or information is herein referred to as the “Seeker.” Any interpretations in bold print refer to today’s language so this ancient information is easier to comprehend.

TIME AND THE HIGHLAND MAYA
"This ethnography was written by a woman professor who undertook an apprenticeship among the Maya during the 1970s. It shows in that it has the type of detailed information that only a person who had entered into this system and had learned it from the inside out would know. The material on Maya astronomy is totally new and very important! The information on priest-shamans and shaman-priests I found particularly useful in understanding the debates about shamans, shamanhood, priests, and priesthood."

THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE DANGEROUS
Dialogues with the Zuni
"This book is an example of the new attention ethnographers are paying to writing. Not only is it wonderfully written but it is an honest account of Zuni lives today. Tedlock went to the pueblo with her husband Dennis Tedlock (author of the "Popol Vuh" and the "Rabinal Achi") as a painter and after a number of visits and encouragement from Zuni women she decided to become an ethnographer. All her books are must reads for young documentary writers and spiritually alive women and men today!"
