Story Behind The Book
This book came about as a result of my experiences in the jungles of Brazil. Deep in Shamanic ceremony, I met my own Inner Teacher in a dramatic encounter. I was able to ask many questions and clarify much of what had previously perplexed me in my life. The best part is, this Inner Teacher instructed me on how to keep this connection to my own higher knowing for use in day to day living. Also communicated was that this book (The Teacher Within) needed to be written and that "I" would not decide what to write but, by maintaining connection to my own Inner Teacher as taught, the book would be written by this greater intelligence.
