A do-it-yourself manual of meditation techniques

“Shirley Ryan has been practicing contemplative meditation for more than 20 years, exploring the internal and external benefits of walking meditation exercises, Tai Chi, subjective fantasy, breathwork, and cleansing processes on a daily basis.

In Searching For The Waters Of Antiquity: A Follow-Along Meditation Process, Ryan draws upon her decades of experience and expertise to provide the non-specialist general reader with a do-it-yourself manual of meditation techniques and applied principles to engage in the meditative experience and process.

Thoroughly "user friendly", Searching For The Waters Of Antiquity is ideal for the novice, invaluable for those seeking relief from stress and physical ailments, and effective for acquiring the life-changing benefits and intense healing effects of daily meditation.”

"…a beautiful, peaceful read that will inspire you to open your soul and quiet your mind… The story is simple, yet so very deep. One must follow their own path on this journey of life. Letting go of what we think we know in order to learn again is the way to develop the soul. This is what life is for; everyone has a ceremony of change awaiting them." Must Read!”

"…The reader is drawn into the book's stunning imagery as the story progresses, literally taking a simple and humble turtle named Tag on an extraordinary journey of outer discovery and inner self-awakening . . . This book would make a wonderful gift, for someone special . . . ike yourself. . . It is the gift of questions, answers, going away and finding yourself, and finally, finding your own connection to every other thing as well as the Source itself - a gift far greater than any material object I can think of."

"One of the first truly unique books of the year! The book promises a story for children eight to eighty and the author has fulfilled that promise. At first glance the story is naive and childlike; however upon further inspection the reader realizes that the message is as deep and mysterious as life itself… a search for the spiritual center, the place of ONE… explores every conceivable human emotion-love, fear, understanding, tolerance, wisdom and fear. ..(it answers)…questions in all of our minds. Highly recommended." Read complete review.

 "Tag, you're It! What a delight to slowly discover that the main character, Tag, is a turtle, and what a surprise to gradually realize that Tag is really me. …I was so grabbed by the story and identified with Tag and all of his fears, hesitations, curiosity, and need to grow, that I read the entire book in one sitting. And then found myself reading it again a week later, gaining even more insight." Read complete review.
