ENDORSEMENTS
“
This essential, in-depth book on Tonic Herbs is aligned with the purpose of accelerating one’s spiritual evolutionary development. Based on Ganga and Tara’s dedicated practice of the teachings from the wisdom lineage of their teachers on tonic herbalism, its sacred offerings are as applicable in our postmodern times as they were 5000 years ago. I highly recommend this healing and nourishing book."

“
Herbs for Spiritual Development is a gentle and eloquent narrative about the power of Tonic Herbs for healing, radiant health, and spiritual evolution. It is wonderful that Ganga and Tara have established the deepest goal of using Tonic Herbs to enhance spiritual attainment.This is, as they stated, the point of longevity. These Tonic Herbs also help us harmonize back to the natural and cosmic laws that our world society has abandoned. Another major teaching they share is that one cannot “herbalize” their way to enlightenment and we also need to do energizing movement, breath, and meditation as part of a full holistic liberation approach. The use of these Tonic Herbs with live-foods (perhaps what the Taoist masters lived on before going to only Tonic Herbs) is my suggested optimal diet for spiritual nutrition and the way I’ve been living for years. The journey shared in this book is their living of the Three Treasures in a gentle and joyous way. I highly recommend this book, not only for beginners in Tonic Herbalism, but also as a reminder to all about the larger meaning of the use of Tonic Herbs."

“
Herbs for Spiritual Development by Ganga and Tara is a delightful guide, full of important information for those of us who want to enjoy Tonic Herbs and spiritual growth. Ron Teeguarden is a teacher and a dear friend of mine who I like to call the “American Lao Tzu.” He has the energy of a very old ginseng root to help people live a healthy and happy life through natural herbs and Taoist teaching. I became a monk at the Shaolin Temple in China when I was eight years old and underwent intensive training in martial arts there for eleven years. The Chinese Tonic Herbs have been used at the Shaolin Temple for centuries to improve health, enhance athletic performance and promote spiritual development."
