PRAISE FOR LYNN ANDREWS
Lynn Andrews is one of my favorite writers. She helps every woman find a sense of her own importance.
Marianne Williamson, author of A Return to Love and A Womans Worth
Lynn is one of the most profound people of our time. Her work in the shamanistic traditions has provided effective guidance to me and many others looking for answers. I love her!
Dannion Brinkley, author of Saved by the Light
From Medicine Woman to Writing Spirit, Lynn Andrews has consistently and beautifully continued to bring to her readers the depth and truth of human spirit. Reaching far beyond the everyday illusions, Lynn brings to her readers timeless wisdom through the depth of her vivid experiences. Her candor touches the heart beyond measure.
Meg Blackburn Losey, PhD, author of The Children of Now
Her extraordinary journey into the unknown leads to dazzling new worlds of the mind and spirit. Through a wealth of practical shamanistic lore interwoven with tales of sorcery, Andrews reveals both the challenges and the rewards of the sacred quest.
New Dimensions Radio
Lynn Andrews is a quietly powerful phenomenon.
Los Angeles Herald Examiner
Andrewss narrative opens a window onto an aspect of Native American culture seldom explored. Her portrayal of the pre-eminently sacred role of woman and the traditions that keep their ancient wisdom are remarkably accurate.
Los Angeles Times
I have known Lynn Andrewss work for some twenty years and have known her personally in the last few years. Her work has touched the hearts and lives of many people and has been an ongoing force in our awakening consciousness and the appreciation of the action of spirit in our lives. Her books are true classics.
Dr. Gladys Taylor McGarey, MD, Scottsdale Holistic Medical Group
[Woman at the Edge of Two Worlds,] this beautifully and sensitively written book should be a helpful guide to all women going through menopause. It describes the spiritual dimensions of one of the most important transitions in a womans life. I highly recommend it.
Susan M. Lark, MD, author of The Menopause Self-Help Book
Walk in Balance is a powerful collection of wisdom for the ages. In this book, Lynn Andrews has masterfully recapitulated the knowledge she has gained from many masters. If you follow the daily meditations, this book becomes a great tool of inspiration and empowerment. If you have a question, just open the book and read a passage. This book serves as a personal oracle as well. I truly believe that this is a most inspirational and practical guide to inner personal growth and development.
Roger Cantu, author of Powerful Mental Development and director of the Los Angeles Meditation Center
[Tree of Dreams,] is right on time as always Lynn! It is awesome! I celebrate your Medicine gifts and this book brings them to us up front and personal. We are moving into the fifth world and people are realizing that they are different and that a maturing is happening for all ages. Your book is the heart of all this and will take us through the final transition. Your magic is water to our parched souls, and your clarity brings it to each of us on a personal level, and we are liberated with your guidance. No one does it better Beloved Sister.
PaRisHa-TSaligi, Eastern Band Cherokee heritage, one of thirteen Grandmothers with Elders Without Borders that is organized by William Commanda, Algonquin elder, which consists of thirteen appointed Grandfathers and thirteen Grandmothers
For me, Lynn has been a role model of the highest order. Her words and actions gave me permission and confidence to create a life led by Spirit and passion. She is the teachers teacher: powerful, compassionate, open, intuitive, shamanic, wise, funny, and her teachings are cradled in Oneness. There would be no way I could express how grateful I am for the energy she has transmitted to free women and all living beings to help us soar. She is a treasure and a trailblazer. I feel so blessed to experience her consciousness and courage.

INTRODUCTION
E ach of these daily messages are from my heart to yours. I hope you will join together with me and celebrate the magnificent journey of your very gifted life.
These inspirations are there for you when you need power. They will comfort you when you are in grief and help you sing in praise when you feel joy. They will inspire you if you already include the practice of prayer in your life and they will teach you how to contemplate simply and experientially if you have never learned. In a world filled with by rote endeavor, we so often perform the rituals of everyday life almost without thought. This is like driving down the freeway oblivious of the magnificent mountains and the diaphanous clouds above us. Because of our focus on our destination, we forget that life is a process and this moment is all that we will ever have. Sitting in the center of your own truth can bring you bliss and comfort. You are alive and aware and conscious now. Inspiration allows you to establish contact with the moment. It helps you travel the bridge between the physical world and the world of sacred vision. With prayer you can change your life.
