Publisher's Synopsis
If you have felt curiosity about shamans and what they do, or felt yourself longing to live a life that is rich and full, larger than your own interests and concerns, then this book was written with you in mind. Provided here is a clear and accessible discussion of practices engaged in by shamans all over the world to bring themselves and their communities into right relationship with the earth, with all our relations, and with the spirit of life herself; to create realities and outcomes that were unlikely to occur on their own; and to sustain life as the ongoing reciprocity between the human and the more than human worlds. Included are descriptions of the practices, explanations of how they work, and suggestions of how to start to bring these practices into our lives. Whether you have training and experience in spiritual or shamanic practice or are entirely new to this undertaking, this book can act as a guide to a deeper understanding of your self, your life, and of the unseen aspect of this miraculous, dangerous, delicious universe of which we are an interal part. It stands as an invitation to step further in, to experience life more fully, and to co-create our shared reality.
