<DIV>This spiritual guide presents 18 mantras consisting of Sanskrit syllables and describes their use in meditation. Corresponding to the 18 layers of the earth, the symbols and mantras bring about strong, stabilizing energies that connect truth-seekers to the cosmos. Seemingly conventional at first glance, the book is actually a stacked kit made up of a workbook, a deck of 18 large cards printed with mantras, and two folded posters: one with a chart listing each symbol and its corresponding mantra, the other showing the 18 layers of the earth to use with a pendulum.</DIV>
