Travelling Inwards


Book Description

Carrying only a single backpack, a Canadian tourist arrives in India with no hotel reservations and no travel plans. What happens next will change the course of her life . . . Travelling Inwards captures the adventures and real-life experiences of a Chinese woman living in Canada who takes a giant leap of faith and embarks on a one-hundred-day journey to far away India. Through her ordinary encounters in an extraordinary land, Lai Ping Lee surprisingly discovers many of the hidden mysteries of a nation as well as her life’s purpose. Breaking free of the real and imagined prisons of her past and travelling on the edge of safety not only through a breathtaking country but also inside of herself, Lai Ping Lee struggles to understand how to trust and listen to her inner voice, embrace difficult situations, accept herself and others, and develop the courage to forgive. A spiritual quest and an intimate journey that invites readers to become more aware of themselves and their own place in the universe, Travelling Inwards encourages you to accompany the author on a wondrous voyage of discovery – one that really began for her on the first day she found the courage to step out of her comfort zone and travel into the unknown . . .

The Out of Body Experience


Book Description

This book opens with the author's experience with the 'Lucid Light Stimulator' in Switzerland. This presents him with his first experience of 'Astral Travel'. From this he takes the reader on a historical, theological and mystical journey through the history of the 'out of body experience' in all its varieties and forms. The second half of the book discusses the science behind the experience. It reviews some of the latest research in the fields of psychology, neurology and neuro-chemistry. It then attempts a short explanation of why quantum physics may be the unlikely source of answers to the mystery of the out-of-body experience. The final section presents the author's new model of how exotic-sounding concepts such as Bose-Einstein Condensates, Einstein Rosen Bridges, Zero-Point Energy, microtubules and coherent light can be used to present a totally new explanation of how 'Astral Travel' really does involve a journey - into inner, not outer, space.
