Shamans of the World | Free Book
What would you see if you could view the world through the eyes of a
Diné healer, a Zulu High Sanusi, or a Shaker from St. Vincent
Island? The answer can be found in Shamans of the World, an intimate
encounter with traditional healers from nine unique indigenous
cultures.
Through mesmerizing firsthand accounts of miraculous
transformation and healing, Shamans of the World transports you to
the otherworldly reality of the shaman. Your global adventure begins
in the lands of the Diné Nation, as you meet Walking Thunder, the
Medicine Woman who reveals the importance of living life with full
appreciation. Next, you visit Brazil and faith healers Otavia and
João, who embody "a love that breaks through all boundaries of
reason and rationality." South Dakota and Lakota Yuwipi Man Gary
Holy Bull come next, as you glimpse at the inner life of one
dedicated to the service of spirit.
Then it's off to the
jungles of Paraguay, where the insights of Guarani Forest Shaman Ava
Tape Miri unveil the immediate unity of all creation. The
traditional healers of Bali share vital lessons on balanced living,
before you explore the secrets of Japan's masters of seiki jutsu.
After hearing from the Shakers of St. Vincent, who use the power of
mourning and ecstatic prayer to create community-based healing, you
conclude your journey in Africa, where you witness the ceremonial
dances of Kalahari Bushman Mabolelo Shikwe, "the man who says and
knows everything."
With 24 pages of full-color photographs, and
poetry and prayers from the shamans themselves, Shamans of the World
brings you authentic "first wisdom" directly from its source. Here
is an unprecedented collection of our spiritual roots that offers a
radical new understanding of the planet we share.
Note: Drawn
from the ten-volume Profiles of Healing series edited by Bradford
