Book SynopsisA bold synthesis of ancient sacred science, modern physics, and neuroscience designed to open access to higher consciousness• Explores how esoteric teachings from India and Tibet offer specific methods for tuning and directing consciousness to reach higher stages of awareness • Presents a wide-ranging collection of practical techniques, as well as numerous figures and diagrams, to facilitate navigation of altered states of consciousness and heightened mystical states • Develops an integrated structural map of higher consciousness by viewing Tibetan and Indian Tantra through the work of Steiner, Gurdjieff, Teilhard de Chardin, Aurobindo Ghose, and quantum physicists Planck and Bohm Throughout the millennia shamans, saints, and yogis have discovered how the brain-mind can be reprogrammed to become a powerful instrument facilitating access to higher states of consciousness. In particular, the written Tantric texts of India and Tibet describe, in extraordinarily precise detail, interior transformations of conscious energy along with numerous techniques for stimulating, modulating, and transforming consciousness to reach increasingly higher states and stages of awareness. In this in-depth examination of esoteric Tantric practices, Shelli Renée Joye, Ph.D., presents a wide-ranging collection of psychophysical techniques integrating Tibetan Vajrayana and Patañjali’s yoga to induce altered states of consciousness for the exploration of heightened mystical states. Sharing numerous figures and diagrams, she shows how these theories and techniques are not only fully supported by modern biophysics, brain science, and quantum physics but are also in line with the work of Rudolf Steiner, G. I. Gurdjie , Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Aurobindo Ghose, Max Planck, and David Bohm. e author also shares insights from her own personal practices for consciousness exploration, which include prayer, mantra, emptying the mind, psychedelics, yoga, and visualization of interior physiology.Offering a structural map of the dynamics of consciousness, Joye reveals that one can develop new ways of tuning and directing consciousness to reach extraordinary modes of being and intense levels of lucid awareness, the requisites for the direct exploration of supersensible dimensions and sailing in the ocean of consciousness.Trade Review“A solid basis for comprehending consciousness and reality at the transcendental intersection between spirituality, philosophy, and science. . . . this book provides a trusty guide for those seeking to safely navigate the farthest expanses of self through meditation and contemplation.” * Cynthia Sue Larson, author of Quantum Jumps *“Not since Ralph Metzner have we been given such rich descriptions of consciousness beyond the veil and how to access it.” * Allan Combs, Ph.D., director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the California Institute of *“Tantric Psychophysics is an atlas of the soul and the network of subtle pathways that connect it to, but can also release it from, the physical body and surrounding cosmos. Recalling her intellectual and actual circumnavigation of the globe in search of the wisdom of spiritual explorers and psychonauts, Joye threads their various insights into a practical handbook meant to guide the reader through mental and physical processes that induce liberating states of extrasensory consciousness.” * Timothy Desmond, Ph.D., author of Psyche and Singularity *“Joye has written a remarkable book that presents a wide range of traditionally esoteric knowledge in the context of contemporary physics, physiology, and philosophy. Her integral, interdisciplinary approach to consciousness offers practical suggestions that can inform and inspire readers to experience new dimensions of awareness.” * Ira Rechtshaffer, Ph.D., psychotherapist and author *“Drawing upon a deep wisdom gained from decades of practice and direct spiritual experience, Joye describes a wide range of contemplative practices from major traditions, clarifying and supporting these various techniques with insights from modern science and quantum physics. The resulting book offers a highly unique approach, free of culturally specific or scientific jargon, to explain clearly some of the most effective psychophysical tools that are available to the modern educated reader interested in the firsthand exploration of consciousness. Tantric Psychophysics is a one-of-a-kind approach to traditional mystical praxis. It is both pioneering and revelatory, an intellectual tour de force of exposition, and yet at the same time it offers a practical and easy-to-follow guide for integrating science and spirituality in the process of personal transformation.” * James D. Ryan, Ph.D., professor emeritus of Asian philosophies and cultures at the California Instit *“Entering altered states of consciousness is no longer the privilege of a slect few. It is now at the doorstep of people in all walks of life with all kinds of worldviews and values. Joye’s book provides a much-needed handbook for finding the path toward entering altered states and an important resource for meeting the challenge of living and thriving in today’s world.” * Ervin Laszlo, author of The Immortal Mind *“In an extraordinarily personal and deeply researched review of the embodied methods of achieving spiritual awareness, Joye provides us with a multicultural tour of the great souls in meditation and consciousness. People who have shared their methods and results are set side by side to provide a robust overview of the methods of inner awareness leading to enlightenment. Written in a style to be accessible to every reader, Joye provides deep insight into the inner workings of consciousness through different methods of meditation. A delightful and deeply insightful read.” * John Alan Taylor, Ph.D., dean of library and learning support at Orange Coast College *“Shelli Joye is a consciousness cartographer whose works appeal to those with a courageous soul and an adventurous spirit.

Book SynopsisRight now, there is an enormous infusion of higher dimensional energy--a “Galactic Super Wave”--that is dramatically raising the vibratory rate of our planet and everyone on it. As Bob Frissell explains, in order to catch this wave of ascension and survive and thrive during the coming Great Awakening, we must undergo a personal transformation to raise our vibration and align with the Higher Self within each of us. Frissell explores the forces working to advance our planetary ascent into higher consciousness--as well as those seeking to block it. Going back over 500,000 years of Earth history, he looks at the role of the ancient Builder Race from Venus and other ET races, such as the Greys and the Anshars, in our evolutionary development and rapid technological advancements. He exposes government cover-ups of alien encounters as well as the startling details of our Secret Space Program, the New World Order, and the Depopulation Agenda. He explains how the Precession of the Equinoxes is directly influencing Earth’s awakening and how the dance between the “forces of darkness” and the “forces of light” actually allows consciousness to evolve. Sharing exercises, tools, and techniques to transmute the energies blocking access to your Higher Self, Frissell explores how the infusion of higher dimensional energy is impacting planet Earth and each of us. He shows how reconnecting with your Higher Self enables you to harness the ability to create great abundance and recognize our intimate connection to all life and to the Infinite Creator. Unveiling the incoming new energetic configuration for the Earth, Frissell details how the Great Awakening is nothing less than the birth of a new humanity and how, by raising your vibration, you help in the co-creation of Heaven on Earth.Trade Review“A head-spinning journey through secret space programs, the Deep State, and the Vatican; the Depopulation Agenda, ETs, the New World Order, free energy, and solar flares; the Bible, ancient yogis, ascended masters, COVID-19, cryptocurrencies, and near-death experiences! And Frissell brings it all together in a celebration of the evolution of consciousness and a great awakening, grounding it all in his heart-centered approach to breathwork, called Breath Alchemy. Thanks for the ride, Bob!” * DAN BRULÉ, author of Just Breathe and founder of Breath Mastery *“Catching the Ascension Wave will not only catch your attention but will catapult you into your ascension! This book explodes with information that is mesmerizing—I couldn’t put it down!” * Dianne Robbins, author of Messages from the Hollow Earth *“Catching the Ascension Wave is just what the world needs right now at this critical juncture in our evolution. Bob’s style is friendly and accessible, even when explaining some rather deep concepts, which anyone (with an open mind) can easily assimilate. He has a mind for bringing multiple loose ends together, from all kinds of sources, to create a clear picture of our world that has been kept from our awareness. It gets especially good when he goes into his great work with Breath Alchemy, which he demonstrates as one of the key methods to upgrading our consciousness for the great transition Earth is now making into fourth-dimensional reality.” * Denis Ouellette, author of Heal Yourself with Breath, Light, Sound, and Water *“Finally, a book that connects all the dots and gives us answers! This is a groundbreaking must-read guide for the turbulent times we find ourselves in, teetering on the edge of mass awakening. Bob Frissell pulls back the veil and exposes the truths that have been obscured from the world and gives us a set of solutions for healing our own traumas and raising our vibrational frequency to match the new Earth that is emerging.” * Kris Ashley, author of Change Your Mind to Change Your Reality *“Bob Frissell has done a superb job of collecting information and showing the visible and invisible processes associated with the awakening of humanity and describing them in his exciting book. But most importantly, he gives unique meditations, tools, and techniques, including the Breath Alchemy Technique, which will allow people to harmoniously align with the raising of the consciousness of the planet so that humanity will again find inner peace, joyfulness, and unconditional love.” * Alexander Milovanov, author of The Music of the Divine Spheres *“A wonderful, exceptional book that is true to Bob’s previous well-researched messages. I love how he ties together so many unexplained phenomena that you may have wondered about. This is a book I will treasure! It may call you to re-read again and again. It is irresistible.” * Maureen J. St. Germain, author of Waking Up in 5D *“In this book, Frissell surpasses himself with another breathtaking expansion of our understanding and experience of reality—and adds to it a full explanation of his powerful Five-Step Harmonizing Method of Breath Alchemy. My personal experiences with Breath Alchemy have been truly amazing, on a physical and energetic level—the most healing experience I have ever had. This is a life-changing book!” * Kenneth Porter, M.D., author of Apollo’s Lyre: The Art of Spiritual Psychotherapy *“Bob Frissell knows how to duel with paradoxes, Potemkins, and aliases and come away with a single gem that attunes you to the next rung on the ladder— your own ladder. He is a living truth serum and hermetic lie detector. Catching the Ascension Wave is a delightful and wise maturation of his teaching and shows the payoff of getting on a path and staying on it, no matter what gets tossed your way.” * Richard Grossinger, author of Dreamtimes and Thoughtforms *“Bob is a remarkable author who cannot be compared with anyone else. Each book of his presents us with something mind-blowing or pleasantly shocking for our perception of reality. Catching the Ascension Wave is exciting. Even if you do not believe in higher-dimensional energy in the way that Bob describes, this book will benefit you, it will open your mind to new possibilities and give you tools to improve your inner state of being. I highly recommend not only his books but also his Breath Alchemy Technique.” * Gisselle Cuomo, clinical psychologist *“I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in psychological transformation and the evolution of humanity to a higher level of being—and even physical transcendence into one characterized by cosmic consciousness—that will bring about a new heaven and a new Earth for those who have prepared themselves for great changes.” * Robert D.

Book SynopsisExplores the gem archetype of the Chintamani, the wish-fulfilling jewel known in legends around the world, and how to access it energetically• Examines myths of the chintamani from East and West, including from China, India, and South America; in legends of the Holy Grail and Atlantis; and in Nicholas Roerich’s real-life quest for Shambhala • Explains the chintamani matrix--the multidimensional field of light, energy, and consciousness that forms networks of gems on the etheric and physical levels • Provides simple and advanced practices with crystal grids and meditation to help you access the chintamani matrix and realize your innermost heart’s desires Space, time, intention, matter, and consciousness all entangle in crystals. Nowhere is this more evident than in the ancient gem archetype of the chintamani, the wish-fulfilling jewel known in legends around the world as the stone that grants your heart’s desires. As authors Johndennis Govert and Hapi Hara reveal, the chintamani’s “tachyolithic” technology of wish-granting and spiritual enlightenment creates a vehicle for positive transformation. They show how the chintamani energy matrix can be accessed using tangible crystals and gemstones, meditation, yoga, and the powerful science of intention. Exploring the many chintamani myths and legends from East and West, the authors explain how there are three types of chintamani: the mythical gemstone; the power crystals of history, such as the Koh-i-Noor diamond; and the multidimensional field of light, energy, and consciousness that forms a network of all gems in what is known as “the jewel net of Indra” in Hinduism and Buddhism. Activating this crystal energy matrix provides a way to manifest your intentions and help you create the subtle diamond body. The authors detail specific gems and crystal spiritual technology that can affect material reality and trigger profound spiritual growth. They provide a number of simple practices with crystal grids and meditation to help you access the chintamani matrix and become aware of the interconnected jewel net of consciousness. They examine the science of intention, which provides a basis for connecting to gemstones and crystals, and share advanced meditations to realize and activate your innermost heart’s desires.Trade Review“This is a work of extraordinary depth, scholarship, and esoteric knowledge, revealing the interface of consciousness-intention and the world of matter. The authors are multidimensional explorers returning from the inner and outer frontiers to report on the wonders they have seen. The Chintamani Crystal Matrix is historically fascinating, profoundly spiritual, and absolutely practical--an illuminating study of stones of power through the lens of history, myth, science, and quantum energy, with additional revelations from the authors’ own research. This is a unique can’t-put-it-down guidebook that by its very nature shines with an astonishing light. A joy to savor and be grateful for.” * Catherine Dees, senior editor at St. Lynn’s Press, coproducer of Continuum: The Immortality Pr *“A fascinating book that blends mythology, history, and philosophy into the quest for the sacred wish-fulfilling jewel. The authors weave the lore of the chintamani with modern-day crystal wisdom to create a book that truly stands out. Whether you love history, esotericism, or crystal healing, this book is sure to delight.” * Nicholas Pearson, author of Crystal Basics and Crystals for Karmic Healing *“Unlike most books on crystals that seek to persuade readers to buy crystals to attain their heart’s desires, here is actual instruction on how to invoke the consciousness of the crystal known as the wish-fulfilling jewel--and become that jewel! This is an ancient secret of not only alchemy but also Tibetan Buddhist tantra. Having journeyed to Tibet myself in search of this jewel, I found, as the authors did, that it is within you.” * Peter Mt. Shasta, author of My Search in Tibet for the Secret Wish-Fulfilling Jewel *“Incredibly well researched and highly documented, demonstrating the dedicated interest of the authors on the mysteries, legends, and authenticity of the stone. The content of this book is the best I have read on the chintamani stone. The Chintamani Crystal Matrix is a beautiful book and well worth taking the time to read.” * Joleen D. DuBois, president of White Mountain Education Association, Inc. *“One of the most comprehensive, amazing books I’ve ever read. It expands upon the connections between crystals and feng shui to help you personalize your spiritual journey. The authors’ insights explain how to build your own unique practice in a way that is not only easy to understand but easy to achieve.” * Lesley Joan Lupo, author of Remember, Every Breath Is Precious *“If the power of crystals, the energy of sound and resonance, and the history of alchemy, astrology, and ancient wisdom fascinate you, you will want to read The Chintamani Crystal Matrix. Johndennis Govert and Hapi Hara have written an exciting, well-researched, and unforgettable book that explores spiritual forces through mythical and historical material. A book you can’t live without.” * Tryshe Dhevney, sound energy expert, bestselling crystal singing bowl recording artist, and author o *“The scope of the book is astonishing--art history, part science, part legend--held together with the practical application: intention. Spirit and science truly come together.” * Clear Englebert, author of Feng Shui for Real Estate and Feng Shui for Love and Money *"Illustrated with full color photography, The Chintamani Crystal Matrix: Quantum Intention and the Wish-Fulfilling Gem is a unique and inherently fascinating volume that will be of special and particular interest for metaphysical studies involving the properties and uses of crystals. Impressively informative, exceptionally well presented, The Chintamani Crystal Matrix: Quantum Intention and the Wish-Fulfilling Gem is an ideal and recommended addition to personal, professional, and community library collections. It should be noted that The Chintamani Crystal Matrix: Quantum Intention and the Wish-Fulfilling Gem is also readily available in a digital book format (Kindle, $20.99)." * Midwest Book Review *Table of ContentsForeword by Martin W.
