Opis

Stone Age Wisdom: The Healing Principles of Shamanism is a guide to an urban contemporary shamanism that draws on the what religious historian, Houston Smith, describes as "the ground from which all religions spring." While the word shamanism has come to mean many things to many people, a shaman is an individual who uses an enhanced capacity to attend to the unseen world primarily in service to others. The first step to being able to artfully serve others is to return to balance. What does it mean to live in balance? Most people know what it feels like to live out of balance. The fast pace of modern life has left many of us without roots or a sense of connection to life around us. Shamanism is the spiritual practice that evolved from the worldview of our Stone Age ancestors. That worldview recognized that all things were alive, conscious, dynamic, interconnected, and responsive. By animating these core principles in our lives we can find that balance and sense of connection that is so lacking in our urban contemporary world. From each of these core principles has evolved a set of practices that allow the shaman to work effectively with the energetic patterns that form the template upon which reality as we know it arises. Stone Age Wisdom is a guide to these practices as refined for an urban contemporary practitioner. By following the healing principles of shamanism you'll learn practices to: DREAM-to be open to and understand the wisdom of your dreams VISION-SHIFT-to develop the ability to sense the energetic patterns in your life JOURNEY-to enter into dialogue with the energies that shape our lives SHAPE-SHIFT-to practice the art of conscious change and energetic healing CONDUCT CEREMONY-to mediate between the seen and the unseen worlds DREAM-WEAVE-to direct will and intention through embodied prayer and creative action
