Product Description
These meditations were inspired by my ancestral Celtic roots in Ireland and Scotland, and by Canadian & American descendants, who boldly pioneered in a new land: distant branches of the same tree. Monashee is a name bestowed on lovely mountains near my home in British Columbia. Larissa Ardis, a local writer, inspired me with this piece of local history:
'Legend has it that a hardy Scottish highlander braved the elements of our then untamed wilderness, prospecting for minerals. After a particularly rough day of scrambling alone through thick mountain forest, chilled by rain, snow and wind, our hardy Scot, Donald McIntyre, found himself at the evening sunset. The winds calmed, the clouds parted and the setting sun illuminated a nearby mountain with a peaceful glow, "Monashee " he uttered gratefully in his Native Gaelic.'
Monashee is a local phonetic translation of monadh sith, Gaelic for mountain of peace.
An ancient alphabet, an early Irish alphabet, the Ogham or Beth-Luis-Nuin alphabet was created by Druids. Each of the 25 letters represented a tree, plant or natural element. It is also know as the 'Tree' alphabet. Trees were sacred in Ireland and Britain. I included mention of this in the imagery of Returning Home.
Let Returning Home restore a sense of connection and the Call to Adventure guide you on your hero's journey. Love, Shannon

Customer Reviews:
An Excellent Experience in Relaxation.......2003-08-23
I found this CD to be inspirational and very relaxing. The quality of the sound is excellent and Shannon's voice is very clear and relaxing. The utilization of bagpipes at the beginning and end of the CD serve as bookmarks for this wonderful journey. They seem to evoke inner emotions and call out to one to remember where they came from and, perhaps, what has been left behind. Very soulful.
As I am sure you can gather from this review, I strongly recommend this CD and anxiously await other works from Shannon.
Wow - guided imagery with a Celtic sweetness!.......2002-10-07
