The book is in Amazon.com and available both as a book and in kindle format.
The story begins with a life-changing experience at the age of 13.

Those few seconds had carved out a destiny that would take Ken to places he never dreamed he would go, and, in those places, to meetings people who helped shape the person he was to become.

His journey takes him from Australia, to United States, England, New Zealand, India, Switzerland, and Germany. An extraordinary journey in many ways, he learns important life lessons from numerous teachers in a variety of fields, including social work, Transactional Analysis, psychotherapy, teaching and writing. He also underwent intense training and guidance from a Siddha Master, Tantric Master, Vedic Master, and a Divine Mother, and many encounters are described that arose out of these contacts.

While in United States in the early 1970s, he trained with Jacqui Schiff, Bob and Mary Goulding and several other leading TA teachers. His accounts of the processes at Cathexis Institute are revealing and interesting. He also describes his work as a TA therapist and trainer back in Australia where he had to deal with great personal challenges to do the work itself.
 
Mellor's first-person narrative reads like an intimate journal, filled with anecdotes that present the daily wonder of embracing life fully.  He describes how every event in one's life can clearly show the next step on the path of spiritual awakening.  His encouraging and entertaining prose is meant to educate readers, subtly and lovingly, towards expanded understanding and awakening, and to their own unique destiny. And this works beautifully.

Stephen Karcher has created a wonderful book for couples using the Chinese Oracle - the I Ching. As usual, the simplicity and beauty of his writing makes this book very easy reading and wonderfully rich in the contribution it can make to people who wish to enhance their relationships with each other. Stephen presents the hexagrams as they apply to relationships, enabling readers to apply the ancient wisdom of the I Ching to the complexities of the way we love one another today. Ken & Elizabeth Mellor joined forces with Stephen to add the richness of their approach to his. They provided Reflections and Practices for each of the hexagrams-amounting to about 16% of the text. As spiritual mentors they have introduced many thousands of people to meditation and other enlightening techniques. Their experience as counsellors and psychotherapists and their shared life as a couple make them particularly at home in the blend of the practical, psychological and spiritual that is the heart of this way of the lover.

The Biame Mantra Meditation is beautifully soothing, enlivening and healing. It helps users to release love, blessings and vital force into their lives. Profoundly awakening, it helps to mend, unify, align, soften and make everything whole again. "Biame" is originally an indigenous Australian word that is said to mean "great spirit". Its effects are universal and available for everyone, which you can discover by repeating it as a mantra. By doing this, many others in many parts of the world have come to experience new aliveness and the serenity of transcendent energy, and have discovered themselves becoming grounded or earthed in the world as never before. Initiation: The process was designed by Ken & Elizabeth Mellor, and Elizabeth's narration takes you through a simple set of steps that are designed to initiate you into the mantra. For this non-indigenous initiation to take full effect, you need to play both tracks, the introduction and the meditation itself. Thereafter, you can use the meditation alone if you wish, although it is useful to play both tracks again from time to time in order to deepen the initiation you are experiencing.
