Query: A Trojan Horse for New Age Ideas

Grieving from the recent loss of my mother, I picked up this book after reading the jacket and flipping through some of the pages. It seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Imagine my surprise when part way into the book, the author began devoting half of the remaining pages to discussion of shamanistic rituals and her own cosmic field trips.This would be fine if the book was packaged as a New Age book about grieving. It was not, and this reader feels taken advantage of. The 2 stars are for the half of the book that gave what it promised: good practical advice about dealing with loss.
