How The Earth Saved My Soul is both a story and a nature based system of healing and self-discovery. While drowning in the ocean Travis was saved from death by a mysterious spirit and experienced visions that forever changed the course of his life. Trying to make sense of this experience he found himself on a spiritual quest of self-discovery that started with meditation, psychedelics and occult mystery schools and eventually led him to indigenous shamans of the Amazon and Andes of Peru.
Along the way there were challenges, mistakes and many great discoveries. The most beneficial practices found within the story are described so that the reader can experience and benefit from them personally. By returning to nature and learning to follow his heart Travis found a new level of fulfillment in life. These practices helped him greatly, and perhaps they can inspire you as well.
