Janet has been a student of Kripalu Yoga for over 30 years and is the author of, Reclaiming the Surrendered Self, When the Spiritual Teacher Betrays the Disciple
A must read! Excellent, exciting, enlightening, evocative. Suzanne Grandchamp In Secret and Shadows is a must read for anyone intrigued with the concepts touched on in the da Vinci Code. The difference is: Janet's story is non-fiction! Janet takes us on a fascinating journey through the history and intrigue of southern France, including the Cathars, Mary Magdalene, Occitania, the Catholic Church, and much, much more. I literally could not put the book down. Thrilling, engaging and enlightening best describe Janet's recollection of this real-life da Vinci Code.. Move over Dan Brown This is a surprising and delightfully odd little book. To describe it as a story of long ago of knights, crusades and Witch Hunts is at first glance beguiling enough to garner a read. Then you definitely cannot stop reading Pullen pulls you through the strange looking glass of her very personal, mystic discovery of the dark past of her own Catholicism into the real shadows and the forgotten victims of the French witch hunts. Then leads you along paths that bring fresh insights into the Mary Magdalene maze and deal a crushing blow to the real myths of the Catholic Church. A peek behind the glitz of the Dan Brown's t. A clear look into our past I wish the book would have been longer. I devoured every word. There is so much we have never been told about our western heritage. I am so grateful to find books that enlighten us. I am on my own Grail quest and this book inspires me to seek the truth through my own experience rather than relying on talking heads or one sided history books. May we all find our own light in the shadows and live life to the fullest on our path.
