In Shakkai, the eighth book in her bestselling Medicine Woman series, Lynn Andrews goes on an otherworldly journey unlike any she’s experienced before. Finding herself in Japan, Lynn meets the teacher of her future reincarnation, Shakkai, who helps Lynn discover the secret to healing herself and ultimately our endangered planet.
Building on the wisdom she has gained through her many journeys into self-discovery, Lynn V. Andrews now moves into an altogether new and remarkable dimension. The place is Japan in the future, but her journey there is truly timeless. With Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby Plenty Chiefs as her spiritual guides, Andrews meets with the old woman Shakkai and discovers the secrets of Japan’s sacred gardens and their larger symbolism in the world of magic and power.
In Shakkai, Andrews offers this knowledge to all women who seek the sacred within themselves. She shows modern women how the principle of the captured landscape—a finite place that contains the infinite mysteries and power of nature within it—can speak to all women who wish to tap the abundance, tranquility, and peace of nature. And just as Shakkai’s timeless knowledge can be used to heal the individual spirit, Andrews uncovers the key to the essential balance of mind and heart that will help us to heal our endangered planet.
