Encounters with Power | Free Book
A Shamanic Odyssey of Discovery
When you
leave the beaten path of civilization, you enter the world of primal
and mysterious forces—and encounter wonders you never thought
possible. This is the territory of the shaman. To learn the secrets
of shamanism, José Luis Stevens has traveled to the remote and wild
places where the oldest human spiritual practice still exists in its
purest form. With Encounters with Power, this respected
teacher invites you to experience his journeys to meet shamans
around the globe—and share in the wisdom he received. Join this
master storyteller as he recounts his meetings with Spirit in its
many guises, including:
• India and the
Life-Changing Reading—at a turning point in his life, Jose receives
a startlingly accurate prophecy
• Lost in Mexico—a humbling
education in the difference between “power” and “control”
• The
Guatemala Test and Initiation—the power of being frugal with
judgment and generous with forgiveness
• Encounters with the
Power of Aborigines and Songlines Down Under—sometimes the teacher
appears when the student is not ready
• Journeys for
Power with Medicine—visions with the plant spirit of ayahuasca
•
A Magical Andes Wedding—an unforgettable ceremony attended by
people, spirits, and the forces of nature
• The Dolphin
Brujos—nature’s tricksters teach a sharp lesson in responsibility
and humility
• Encounters with the Dark Shaman—a perilous
jungle journey reveals the ferocity of nature and the dangerous side
of shamanic practice
• Nevado Aconcagua: Pilgrimage to a Sacred
Mountain—how a holy place can be both a dangerous trial and a source
of limitless support
Power is everywhere—encounters
with power can happen any time. “In my travels to meet these
extraordinary healers,” writes José, “I’ve had terrifying,
enlightening, and at times hugely entertaining adventures. Power can
destroy us or it can raise us up by teaching us and nourishing us. I
may not be a master, but I have learned a few things that you may
find helpful on your own quest.”
