A fantastic glimpse into the healing practice of a self described "mountain man". He applies methods from Silva Mind Control, dowsing, shamanic practices, and weaves his techniques with stories and homages to his teacher friends. Although some practices, like the shamanic journeying and soul retrieval are not detailed and clearly not meant to have people try them without proper instruction, the dowsing techniques are easily understood, and more importantly, in context, as he's tackling this or that task and tells us about it. This book is packed with applications, and with each new story some other aspects of the practice become clear; it made me eager to go out there and try out my new found knowledge, just like the author urges.
