A Laymans Guide to New Age & Spiritual Terms

Anyone today who becomes involved in following a spiritual path encounters a variety of words and terms among the many traditions and spiritual heritages that have passed down to us. In searching for her own personal answers to the meaning of life, Elaine read a multitude of books, attended seminars and lectures in metaphysics and parapsychology, and investigated a variety of spiritual traditions ... but nowhere could she find a dictionary to help explain the various unfamiliar practices and teachings. "Terms and ideas were scattered throughout a hundred different books." So here she has put some of the things she has learned all under one roof, in alphabetical order, with personal comments and experiences. Included are definitions of over 200 terms-everything you've wondered about - from absent healing, angels, auras, chakras, crystals, and drumming ... to ultra-sensitives, white light, yoga and Zoroastrianism. This guidebook to new age and spiritual terms is the perfect reference book for beginners who are taking their first steps down the path of enlightenment...and contains a few insights for the seasoned traveler.
