Endorsements for Soul Companions

 

'Soul Companions' is a stunning book. It assembles an amazing collection of interviews with some of the finest and most unusual people from the worlds of alternative thinking and teaching. For anyone interested in the future of human growth and development this is an absolute 'must read'. 

              - John Matthews: author of 'Walkers Between Worlds'

 

An extraordinarily ambitious project reaching to 'the ends of the Earth' and into the realms beyond, with sublime grace this book modestly slips 50 authors and teachers of ancient and far reaching wisdom through this one portal, under the guise of encounters with spirit guides. Dip into this compendium of accounts of spirit guides from every Earth culture, and you enter a slipstream of consciousness that leaves 'the real world' looking flat and crumpled as a cardboard cutout. Enter it and expand your understanding of the world beyond ordinary reality. Taste exquisite magical elixirs of metaphorical and metaphysical knowledge, embrace the heart-felt depth of the earthy wisdom of the ancestors, let your mind glitter with insights of the star nations, and be enchanted by the elementals and rejuvenated by the aliveness of reality in the realm of the Shining Ones. An Eskimo-Kalaallit Elder from Greenland says appreciation of our gifts is food for your soul and singing is food for the spirit. Soul Companions is truly a gift and a source of nourishment for the soul.

The world of the spirits is completely normal for many cultures and normal for our culture, if we dare to admit it. Karen's book reinforces this reality, and affirms our own deep connection to the unseen - dare you not accept it? 

            - Sacred Hoop magazine

 

Karen Sawyer's 'Soul Companions' is an amazing and enlightening anthology of profound experiences shared between some of the world's most revered wisdom keepers and their spirit guides. Inspiring and empowering, it lights a path for all of us to follow.
