As a professor of anthropology I spend a great deal of time in my head. So it is a pleasure to read a book which shows me how to reconnect with my heart and my true state of being. Artfully blending psychological reflection, shamanic stories, and personal insights, Jan Engels Smith blazes a clear trail for anyone to follow who is interested in personal growth.

"Jan Engels-Smith brought me her book in its previous spiral bound form a couple of years ago and I decided to try it in our store, I was very happy how it began to sell very well right away! The new beautiful cover, perfect bound edition along with her CD's continue to be strong sellers! Customers have raved about her teachings in the book and CD's. I can easily recommend them to you and your customers!"

Becoming Yourself: The Journey from Head to Heart by Jan Engels-Smith. 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!

Late in the fall of 2002, for several months, I had been feeling at a loss as to for where my path in life was leading. I seemed to have been floating along - oh, doing all the right things, just no sense of direction or any satisfaction in living. I had bought the book Becoming yourself: The Journey from Head to Heart 6 months prior, but it had been just sitting on the shelf. One Saturday morning, I started reading - it was as if someone had written down some of my experiences, could this "journey" be happening to many at the same time on parallel timelines. I was so caught in the mystic simplicity of the reading that I couldn't put it down. It only took one weekend to read, and I began a "re-read" right away. The following Monday - I enrolled in Classes at LightSong, and the path was clear. Life began occurring differently, happy, satisfying and rich.
Thank you with all my heart, Kathy Kobow

Jan's book Becoming Yourself has helped me look at my thoughts and beliefs in a different way. It has helped me see how some of my beliefs are based on thinking errors that have been barriers in my spiritual evolution. This has created a huge paradigm shift. Now what, what do I do will all this knowledge in my head? There are many books that are very powerful and enlightening but when you are done what do you do, how do you take that and apply it to your life and make it yours? This is where Jan's CD's come in to play. Take Your Body with You has been a great tool to help me explore and expand on what I have learned from her book and classes and trust in my own personal and unique spiritual journey. With this I am taking the knowledge in my head and bringing it to my heart which has been a magical internal transformation.

I still fall into the old pitfalls of previous programming and this is when the Awaken-Unburden-Create CD helps me to lift the veils of the illusion that was once my unhealthy and unproductive reality. The guided meditations have aided me in coming back to spirit and remembering that I am co-creating my life and I am not a helpless victim. Here is to becoming who you truly are! Thank you Jan and all the helpers that share these magnificent truths with all of us.

This is Colette. Once again thank you all for your many prayers.

Some time ago I sent out prayers for financial support surrounding my medical bills. I also used Jan's technique of the manifestation board for this prayer. Well, I received good news this past month. One of the hospitals has zeroed out my balance. They were asking that I pay $300+ a month to pay down a $14,000+ bill. This is a wonderful start to reducing a very big debt!!!

Thank You, Thank You,
Colette

PS, if you have not yet read Jan Engels-Smith's book "Becoming Yourself, The Journey from Head to Heart", you should. She speaks about the manifestation board in this book. I believe this board is a very power tool to have on hand. It is just another way to boost your prayers.
