Skip this book, go meditate in the Forest.
Some of my friends are into this book series and told me to read it because I live on a farm. I interact with nature spirits and facilitate healing for other people and am really into the Woo Woo, just to give you my credentials. That being said, this book is awful. The author himself tipped me off to his scam when he writes about the healing properties of pine nuts. So I went to his website and sure enough he is selling pine nut oil for $25. oo 3.5 oz. The author's writing style is style-less. He comes off as a womanizer out to make money. Anastasia's character is a completely different story. She comes off as arrogant, not magical or even spiritual. Anastasia is all into telling us what is good and bad. How can you be enlightened when you see in black and white? Anastasia is all about telling you what is Right. I am not looking for a preacher, are you? Personally I felt like I was at a cult meeting. And if you really want to be healthy, you'll buy all the Siberian Cedar products available at the author's website. If you want to know what is True, Go Meditate! It is that simple, you don't need a book to figure out your own Soul. Anastasia talks often about the 'dark forces' and what They do to screw up humanity [sounds like the devil's influence to me (sarcasm)]. If she knows everything at once, as is claimed, then why doesn't she specifically expose these Dark Forces? I am sure all the conspiracy theorists out there would love to know who THEY really are (I guess we have to leave that to David Icke). She also talks about how women shouldn't dress in revealing clothing. Even though she runs around in a sheer slip or just plain nude in front of a man she just met and then has sex with him so they will have a son together. I am not kidding. Women who are concerned with their appearance and have sex for reasons other than procreation will never be happy according to Anastasia. Seriously, did I just go to a fundamentalist church? Next up, go suck on some seeds, and then don't water them for three days. Good luck with that. Apparently,you have to do this with your garden seeds or they won't 'know' you enough to heal you. Oh, also, go to the Ringing Cedars website and buy the dvd sets on how to mix your spit with the seeds. Go ahead, spend more money. Plant spirits always want to help, they just need to be asked. All you have to do is call the spirit of the plant that you are sowing and ask it for guidance. Being quiet in your mind will lead to you to YOUR truth. If you must read a book on the subject of gardening, Peralandra's Garden Workbook is much more informative than this poorly written novel. Some people like to be told what do to and to think, its easier than actually finding the still point inside of yourself that leads you right to your own Soul. Bless you all. If this series resonates with you, joy to you. Don't pay me no mind.
