About the Author

While in law school at The University of Texas School of Law, he began his spiritual quests, first meeting a Toltec shaman who healed with herbs and plants. The next shaman Rosales met was a Cherokee SpiritWalker who practiced soul retrieval in the deserts of Arizona. Rosales then went on to Santiago Atitlan in Guatemala to meet a Maya A'j R'ij or healer-divination specialist. His last journey was to the Land of the Thunder Dragon, the Himalayan Mountain Kingdom of Bhutan to seek out a Holy Lama, a Manchen Lopon, who practices Vajrayana or Diamond Vehicle Buddhism.

An experienced hiker and expedition leader, Rosales currently lives and writes in Vancouver. Future planned journeys include travel to India, Oceana, North Africa, and the Mediterranean. A member of the American Alpine Club and the Royal Geographical Society, Omar holds a doctorate in Law.
