Anyone who has thrilled to the sagas of James Redfield and Paulo Coelho will want to read this book. Kharitidi was a psychiatrist in a state clinic in Siberia when her life was set on a new course after meeting a factory worker who decided to become a shaman. Accompanying him to his village in the Altai Mountains, the author meets Umai, a female shaman who initiates her into the mysteries of the spirit world. Kharitidi learns about Belovodia, also known as Shambhala, and travels into another dimension of time. All of these experiences enable her to practice a more expanded and powerful kind of healing with her patients back home.
Entering the Circle is an intriguing New Age story that brings together the ancient powers of shamanic wisdom and modern day experiments in alternate healing.
