Being and Vibration

Being and Vibration

All existence is vibration. From human breath and heartbeat to the pulsating energies of subatomic particles, to the expansion and contraction of stars and the universe itself, pulsation-vibration is inherent in all that exists. Rael shows how we may experience spiritual reality by accessing vibration through drumming, chanting, and vision quests. Overstock inventory available from Council Oak Books

The Way of Inspiration

The Way of Inspiration

Native American visionary and artist Joseph Rael eloquently presents in its ten stages the entire process by which inspiration brings new life into form, expresses its nature, then dies back into a state of non-form to await a new inspiration. This is Rael's teaching about inspiration itself, and how, as he says, "inspiration is in all things." In the simple act of counting from one to ten in his native Tiwa tongue, Rael explores the mysterious connections between energy and matter, between spirit and manifest reality.
