The Ultimate Journey
"The ultimate journey describes ancient and aboriginal ritual and spiritual practices that help us understand the experience of death, develop effective ways of making dying easier, and integrate it as a meaningful part of life. This book also summarizes modern studies that shed new light on a variety of phenomena related to death and dying, including psycho-spiritual death and rebirth, near-death experiences and new expanded cartography of the psyche that has merged from Grof's fifty years of research of psychedelic therapy, holotropic breathwork, and spontaneous psychospiritual crises"--p. 3 of cover.
