Today, practicing shamanism doesn’t mean you have to live in a rain forest or a desert. Because of a modern renaissance of shamanic spirituality, practitioners from all walks of life now use powerful indigenous techniques for curing, insight, and spiritual growth. With Awakening to the Spirit World, educators Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman bring together a circle of renowned European shamanic elders-Tom Cowan, Carol Proudfoot-Edgar, Jose Stevens, and Alberto Villoldo-to present a comprehensive manual to make these practices available and available in our daily lives, including:

– How the first practice of shamanism shaped the world’s religious traditions and why it is still relevant today

– The art of the shamanic journey-a time-tested meditative way for experiencing important religious lessons and truths

– Guidance for avoiding common pitfalls of shamanic practice

– Instruction for dealing with your dreams, connecting to your nature guides, and healing yourself as well as your environment
