In the northern Arabian Peninsula during the second half of the 7th century, Qays, later known as Majnun, is in love with his cousin Leyla and decides to praise her in his love poems. Annoyed by all the noise around her, Leyla's parents consider that he has compromised her honor and force her to marry another man. Qays becomes desperate and wanders alone in the desert.

The author kept me on the edge of my seat with the hours passing seemingly as minutes while the pages flew as did the time. What happens when you combine the studies of psychology and shamanism? Are the two practices divergentor are there some commonalties? Author, teacher, licensed psychologist and student of shamanism Jeannette Gagan answers with a resounding "yes" in her brilliant book, Journeying.
Dr. But hang in there, it gets better--much better. Having said that, I loved this book too, but only because it wasn't really a book! It was a filler episode.
