Her life seemed full...but she felt empty. Then she traveled to Peru, intending to research Andean healing practices--and found herself taking an unexpected journey, with the guidance of an initiated priest of the Andean Path. This is her story, filled with compelling details of her own initiation in the beautiful but harsh setting of the high Andes--and how the voyage has changed her life. Ingram For readers who loved "The Celestine Prophecy", this bestselling work reveals the ancient wisdom of the Andean Path--and tells the story of a womans initiation into one of the oldest sacred traditions in the world.

I just couldnt stop reading. Elizabeth Jenkins accounts of her experience with the Apus and Pachamama are so vivid that you feel you are actually living them through her words. I am Peruvian and have been for some time researching on Andean mysticism. I was not fully aware of the path that would open before me when I started my research, and just like Elizabeth, I heard Pachamamas call loud and clear. So I can fully relate to her story. The smooth and personal style in which the book is written makes it easy to read - but this is not just another nice story. This book takes you by the hand into the realm of Pachamama, and it actually complies with its mission of bringing Pachamamas word to the world. The description of the Hatun Karpay (initiation) is very vivid and compelling, and it truly opens your eyes so you can learn to distinguish between the real Andean mysteries from what is merely (to put it some way) a description of Andean folklore. I fully recommend this book to anybody who is seriously interested in embracing Pachamamas ways. After all, it did change my life!Was this review helpful to you? 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:I went to Peru after reading this, September 26, 2000Reviewer:A readerfrom London United KingdomHi there! I found this book by accident, read it on one go and booked a trip to Peru for the following summer. I had fantastic time practising the old inka/qero indian energy excercises at the Inka temples and power places. I would warmly recommend this book (and the trip) to anyone spiritually inclined - and the practises really work!!!Was this review helpful to you? 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful:a very interesting book!, July 11, 2000Reviewer:jenbfrom Atlanta, Ga USAI saw Shirley McClains "Out on a Limb" several years ago and it really got me interested in Peru and Machu Picchu. Now that I have read this book, I am determined to go. I truely feel pulled to visit there - I i´magine a lot of people will feel this way after reading this book. It sounds like a truely mystical place to grow spiritually and learn about yourself.I like that the author does not just write about her initiation, but includes her first stay in Peru in her story. Her first encounters with the Apus and the first group she joins shows how one must be strong and trust your intuition.Was this review helpful to you? 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful:I loved this book, August 13, 1999Reviewer:purpl7@hotmail.com Suzanne Andersonfrom Brainerd, MNI just thought that this book is wonderful for anyone who is at all questioning what is going on with their spirituality.

Originally I am a Kechwa native American. But I am adopted to Dutch parents when I was young. Since a copple of years I have strange experiments. By this book I now know what that means. Every word is true, a real reflection of the other level of life wich western cultures have forgot. I hope this book will be a door to the real world of Kay Pacha.

This was like coming home for me... it touched my heart and soul. Before I read this book I had no wish to visit Peru and the Andes... now I do... I long for it! Someday maybe I will.... . . .Read More
