In the early 1990s, while working at the United Nations Development Programme in New York, Atala Dorothy Toy went through a near-death experience that took her on a journey and showed her a new way of perceiving energy — one in which all objects in the universe — machines, stones, and trees — are alive, conscious, and willing to cooperate with humans to fashion a healthier, more holistic world. Now in this easy-to-read book she teaches the deceptively simple art of how to communicate with any object or life form. Whether it's a pet, tree, gemstone, power line, computer, nature spirit, extra-terrestrial, angel, or inner guide — the process is the same. All it takes is knowing you can do it and then learning how.
