Praise for this book

"Awakening to the Spirit World" takes a deep look at tapping sources of invisible power in daily life. So much of what Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman write about is lost to modern medicine: listening to the weather and the elements, understanding death, and more. This is a courageous book that will appeal to all who long to explore the unseen world."
--Judith Orloff, MD, author of Emotional Freedom
"In an era when chaos, confusion, and uncertainty take center stage, the ancestors, focused on balancing the energies of life, call forth calm, clarity, and pragmatic direction for accessing the medicine needed to heal the individual and collective psyche. In this moment in time, we are invited into 'Awakening the Spirit World, ' where we are reassured that we are not alone. We are in good company, indeed."
--Malidoma Patrice Some, PhD, author of Of Water and the Spirit, The Healing Wisdom of Africa, and Ritual: Power, Healing, and Community
