Book Review: Awakening Spirits by Tom Brown Jnr



A Native American path to inner peace, healing and spiritual growth

One of my beautiful friends Sue leant me a book she thought I may love… and she was right!!!

Tom Brown Jnr is a bestselling author of many books based on tracking and unique methods of meditation and self-discovery through nature.

He manages and teaches one of the largest wilderness and survival schools in the U.S and is pure to the teachings of the Native American methods working directly under an Apache Indian “grandfather”. For many years (since the age of 8) he went out into the wilderness and placed himself at the hands of Mother Nature to survive.

He shares the methods that he learnt on relaxation, meditation, insight, healing and communication with nature and spirits in this book.

Read with an open heart and open mind. Practice the teachings that reach out to you.

I have always had a strong draw to Native American culture and teachings and as you can imagine this book resonated deeply within me. I have taken a lot of inspiration and guidance from this book which not only am I applying to my everyday life but to my practice and teaching within yoga and holistic health.

This book is written in an easy to understand way and the methods are explained thoroughly.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking deeper into their connection with nature and spirit and for those wanting to explore the true oneness that every living being shares.

With love,
