Barbara MJ-Free at her best. This is a book which will take you inside yourself on a journey of discovery. It is so beautifully written, the heartache is genuine as is the amazing journey B found herself on. Having met Barbara on a number of occasions this book is from the heart. I read it from cover to cover, and have now sitting back to learn the lessons it contains. This is a book which will be in my collection for a very long time and the lessons learned, even longer.

Once I began reading this book I couldn’t put it down. Barbara delivers a powerful and timely message. Through accounts of her own experiences and the timeless wisdom passed onto her by many wise teachers, we are taken on a journey of discovery of ourselves, leading us to a deeper and more profound awareness of all that we are. ~ Dr David Hamilton , scientist, speaker and Hay House best-selling author of How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body, and Is Your life Mapped Out?

This is a remarkable modern quest romance with the Divine, embodying one of the most important strands of contemporary non-establishment spirituality and linking together cultures in two different hemispheres. It shows how, with an unrestrained eclecticism, traditions from and different peoples can be brought together in a seamless whole. It also provides one of the best illustrations that I have ever read of the personal process of encountering spirit worlds, and the constructive uses to which those encounters can be put in order to advance human evolution. ~ Professor Ronald Hutton, Head of History at the University of Bristol, Fellow of the Royal Society and of the Society of Antiquaries, Commissioner of

Discover a shamanic understanding of the universal web of life and the fundamental interconnectivity of the whole-world. Barbara re-envisions ancient and re-emerging wisdom in a wonderfully relevant and timely way. By describing her own profound and revelatory experiences, she demonstrates their universal insights, truths and awareness for all of us - if we are willing to let go of our limited perceptions. Thank you for such a heart-felt guide that empowers everyone to discover their Shaman Within. ~ Dr Jude Currivan, cosmologist, healer and author of The 8th Chakra and HOPE - Healing Our People & Earth (Hay House)

A beautifully detailed personal odyssey full of challenges, changes, insights and revelations. I felt myself taken on Barbara’s journey, experiencing her travels, seeing the sights, feeling the land, hearing the spirits and enjoying the wonderful characters who pass on their ancient wisdom. A magical book with much ceremonies to put into practice to help you on your way. ~ Leo Rutherford, MA, founder of Eagle’s Wing College of Contemporary Shamanism

Stories are so central to our human experience of being and becoming, allowing us to explore, reflect and learn; stories are at the heart of all Pagan spiritual traditions, guiding us forward. ‘The Shaman Within’ is a very personal story, glinting with wonder, enthusiasm and gratitude, balanced by self-reflection, and growing understanding. ~ Emma Restall Orr, Druid expert and author of The Wakeful World: Animism, Mind and the Self in Nature (Moon Books)

This book is alive, a sparkling journey that enchants whilst reminding us of the magic that both surrounds and lives inside us. By accessing our soul's knowing; the living past, via the once treasured, but now little remembered, 'rites of passage' we have the ability to make of this life something truly wonderful, co-creating it with the Source of all life. It teaches us learn from our experiences, from any lifetime, and move toward being the authentic manifestation of our soul. ~ David Wells, astrologer and author of Past, Present and Future (Hay House).

At the centre of The Shaman Within is a pool of ancestral knowledge into which we can dive once again to heal whatever ails us. Both as a race of beings and as individuals we can find true peace, health and wealth, through the authenticity of our soul's purpose. As a healing practitioner myself I highly recommend what this book has to offer. It explains clearly how you can bring about change in your life today by healing the past, shoring up the present and helping you to co-create a better future. ~ Wayne Kealohi Powell D.D. Holistic Health Educator and founder of Shamanic Bodywork

A beautiful recognition and celebration of the ancient Rites of Passage, so needed in our modern-day lifestyles. We know there is something profound missing in our everyday experiences, my feeling is that ‘The Shaman Within' holds a most important key to unite and bring deeper meaning to the purpose and wonderment of our lives. This book is the accessible bridge between the devic and human kingdoms, the mystical gateway that opens to the timeless wisdom within our souls and the Great Mother. Such magic in these pages. ~ Anaiya Sophia, author of Womb Wisdom, and Sacred Sexual Union
