Description

Shamanism is an ancient spirituality rooted in the belief that all matter has consciousness and that accessing the spirit in all things is part of what keeps the world and people healthy, in balance and in harmony. The spirit beings that surround us are also the source of a spirit walker's ability to profoundly influence life events and thrive in difficult circumstances. In SPIRIT WALKING, shamanic practitioner, Evelyn Rysdyk, shows how we can all connect with the world of spirit to discover a true richness of life. Using shamanic techniques that have been proven over thousands of years of human existence, Rysdyk offers a step-by step guide to understanding and integrating shamanic practices into one's life through: *Power Animals *Shaman Prayers *The Creative Power of Emotion *Shamanic Imagination and Manifestation *Learning to Shape-shift *Divination *Traditional Shamanic Healing Rysdyk shares powerful stories of shamans from a variety of cultures such as Nepal, Tuva, the Ulchi from Siberia and from Peru. She brings a fresh perspective to the work by showing how the latest findings in quantum physics are verifying that we are all connected in an intricate web of energy and spirit. Illustrated with the author's original artwork and photographs of authentic shamanic implements and traditional shamans.

Reviews

Life is a sacred work...how easy it is to forget that in the rush of daily life!

Webb, author of Traveling between the Worlds: Conversations with Contemporary Shaman-- "Reviews"
