Book Description
The ancient path of shamanism is alive and well in contemporary society. Physicians, therapists, and spiritual seekers are among those who are rediscovering the shaman's methods—such as drumming, visualization, and storytelling—as effective tools for healing and self-transformation. In this collection of previously unpublished writings, leading figures of the neo-shamanism movement explore the origins and practices of shamanism and its relevance to the modern world. Are shamanic healing methods compatible with Western medicine? Can shamanism help in crises or difficult life transitions? Is it relevant to the search for meaning amid the wasteland of industrialization and runaway technology? Will it help in healing the planet and preventing ecological catastrophe or nuclear holocaust? These are just a few of the questions addressed by Michael Harner, Joan Halifax, Stanley Krippner, Serge King, Jeanne Acheterberg, Stanislav Grof, and twelve other contributors to this comprehensive anthology.

Book Description
Is it your destiny to help people? Perhaps become a healer? Come follow the journey of real world shamanism in three books…Do you feel like you have a gift but are not sure how to use it? Seasoned master shamanic healer and spiritual teacher, Gregory Drambour, in his 35 year career has guided over 12,000 clients to a better understanding of the code of the spiritual warrior and hundreds into successful healing practices. Now he’s sharing his teachings with you through The Shaman Series. You’ll discover: How to create partnerships with the Tree-, Plant-, and Rock-People How to "see" inside clients to their core issues. How a shaman is guided in healing clients. How to merge with your animal totem and develop an intimate partner and friendship. How to project yourself to another location. How to listen and act on the wisdom inside you. How to overcome your own resistance to your healing gifts How to clear yourself and clients of blocks, and much, much more! The Woodstock Bridge “A marvelous adventure! I recommend it highly!” —Richard Carlson, author of Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff A lost soul. A man desperate for meaning. Can he discover his inner Warrior and unleash the power to change? Two decades after the heady 60s, John struggles to make sense of his life. With fading optimism, he’s unsure if he can ever make a difference in the world. But crossing paths with two Sioux warriors gives him another chance for mentorship and wisdom. As John learns to confront his fears, can he find the passion that makes life worth living? The Shaman & His Daughter The Shaman & His Daughter contains 18 short stories that explore the special bond between a Shaman and his apprentice daughter, Angel-Girl. Come inside and get a close-up view of a shaman-in-training and a shaman on the ground in the real world – even shopping at Safeway! Through these tender tales you’ll learn how to let Spirit guide to develop and expand your unique healing abilities The Lead Guitarist & The Sisterhood of the Wolf You have a special uniqueness inside you -- never doubt it! Do you feel there is a talent you were born with but you are not getting a chance to use it? James Ryder, the lead guitarist, is a shaman in his own right – in the same vibe as Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and other musicians who embodied a connection with Spirit. James has “seeing” dreams and mystical happenings throughout the book, and his fiercely soulful guitar playing embodies a deep communication with another world. The other character, Char Montgomery is deeply bonded with her Wolf-Totem-Sister and was adopted by a Native American Crow Elder. She truly walks the path of the shaman. I felt it was important for me as a teacher to bring shamanism into real world situations in all three books. We want to walk the path of the warrior in our daily life. I hope these books reflect that mission. What reviewers are saying: ★★★★★ “This is a book I will keep on my bedside to read over and over again." – D.Thaler ★★★★★ “The Shaman & His Daughter is a wonderful, heartwarming and insightful book.” – J. R ★★★★★ “I have things I want to underline so I can go back quickly and receive the wisdom Gregory has shared.” – Gloria L. ★★★★★ “An Indescribably Beautiful Treasure of a Book.” -- Heather U. ★★★★★ “So blessed with the heartwarming love, deep intimacy and sacred wisdom and sensitivity you have expertly shared in these pages. Hard to put down!!” – Chris C. ★★★★★ “This book warms my soul and emboldens me to look further, dream bigger and DO more. Highly recommended!” – Angela P. ★★★★★ “Excellent and awe inspiring moments. Can't wait till the sequel!"--Mary Jo Purchase The Shaman Series and explore real world shamanism

Working with the image of the Indian shaman as Wild Man, Taussig reveals not the magic of the shaman but that of the politicizing fictions creating the effect of the real. "This extraordinary book . . . will encourage ever more critical and creative explorations."—Fernando Coronil, [I]American Journal of Sociology[/I] "Taussig has brought a formidable collection of data from arcane literary, journalistic, and biographical sources to bear on . . . questions of evil, torture, and politically institutionalized hatred and terror. His intent is laudable, and much of the book is brilliant, both in its discovery of how particular people perpetrated evil and others interpreted it."—Stehen G. Bunker, Social Science Quarterly

Book Description
The papers collected in this volume were, with a couple of exceptions, presented at a conference on Celtic coinage held at the Ashmolean Museum and the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford, on 6th - 7th December 2001. With seventeen speakers and an audience of ninety, this was by far the largest gathering devoted specifically to Celtic numismatics since the 1989 Oxford, and indeed must have been one of the largest meetings devoted to Celtic coinage ever to have taken place.

In the Shadow of the Shaman
Author:
Publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide
ISBN: 9780875428888
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
In the Shadow of the Shaman is about the importance of connection to the deepest power of Nature. It tells you how to use natural objects from the shamanic worlds -- Plant, Mineral, Animal, and Human -- to help make this personal connection with Earth energies. In doing this, you are able to reconnect with the center of your own power. Because the shamanic path is such a personal one, often not able to be shared, this book has been designed so that it has the experiential quality of the shamanic journey traditions. The author is also careful to present the information in a clear, organized manner. In doing so, she blends the deeply personal wisdom of a shamanic path with the shared, community wisdom of a medicine path. This represents an ideal for Aquarian shamanism. But this book is not simply about shamanism -- it shows, through techniques, exercises, meditations, and rituals, how anyone can become a shaman. You will learn how to attune yourself with the shamanic worlds of Nature, and with the Higher Self, for self-healing and self-empowerment. You will learn to develop shamanic balance, to become the living tree, and you will do this by using such tools as stones, crystals, feathers, masks, drums, and incense. Book jacket.

The Shaman's Wife

ISBN: 1647427568
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Empowering and told from a unique perspective, this globe-spanning memoir of self-discovery and sacrifice has a singular, resounding message for its audience: love is boundless, but it must begin with nurturing oneself. When Alicia Rodriguez, a successful entrepreneur recovering from divorce and loss, accepts an invitation to Ecuador to help a friend who is studying with a shaman, she has no idea how profoundly the decision will change her life’s course. In Ecuador Alicia meets Napo, a powerful shaman, and they begin an extraordinary relationship that spans two continents and eight years. As their connection deepens, Alicia learns the principles of shamanism and witnesses Napo’s remarkable healing abilities. Confronted with the illusion of her life in the United States, she decides to move to Ecuador to be with him, and they make plans to build a healing center together on the coast. Within a short time, however, she realizes that she has surrendered her power and agency to Napo, who now wields it as a weapon against her. After years of inner struggle, Alicia finally finds the courage to leave Ecuador and moves to Portugal, where she finds peace . . . until an unexpected phone call rekindles old memories. An extraordinary memoir steeped in spirituality, shamanism, and metaphysics, The Shaman’s Wife is the story of a woman who, through a daring journey of self-discovery, reclaims and embraces her feminine wisdom—and realizes that love is the answer to her lifelong spiritual quest.

The Strong Eye of Shamanism
Author: Robert E. Ryan
Publisher: Inner Traditions / Bear & Co
ISBN: 9780892817092
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
An exploration of shamanism and the archetypal symbolism that sits at the foundation of all human life • Not just an academic work. Helps the reader experience the actual mindset of the shaman • Presents a cohesive view of the recurrent patterns of symbolism and visionary experience that underlie all religion The human psyche contains archetypal patterns largely lost to contemporary society but which shamans have employed for over 30,000 years to gain access to the spiritual world. Shamanic symbols both affect and reflect these durative patterns that exist, with uncanny similarity, in civilizations separated by expanses of time and distance. The Strong Eye of Shamanism draws together the many facets of the art of shamanism, presenting a cohesive view of the recurrent patterns of symbolism and visionary experience that underlie its practice. The "strong eye" of the title refers to the archetypal symbolism that sits at the foundation of all human life--whether in Paleolithic caves or today's temples. The author asserts that society has become separated from the power of those symbols that lead us into deeper understanding of our spirituality. In today's world of splintered psyches, a world in which people are in search of their souls, shamanism survives as an age-old technology of soul recovery, a living Rosetta stone that reminds us of the shared foundation that exists beneath even the most radically different perspectives. Through its study of shamanism, archetypal psychology, and symbolism, The Strong Eye of Shamanism encourages individuals--and society--to look inward and remember that the deepest forms of awareness begin with the knowledge that the answers reside within us.
