Customer Review: There are some interesting ideas in here for taking inner journeys. They did not engage me. I guess I am needing to be present rather escaping.
Customer Review: This book is full of exercises, for both Amazon Jungle and here in the West. It explains tradition which is very exciting. I love this book.
Customer Review: I am reading this book as a prerequisite for a two-week shamanic healing intensive course beginning Sept 6.

Customer Review: Michael Taussig takes a stance towards "terrorism" not common in today's world. By trying to trace the roots of this phenomenon, he brings to light many explanations and understandings many of us fail to realize, only because we have not come across them before. I give this book four stars instead... more info
Customer Review: This is a fantastic book. Very easy to read. The authors, after discussing the basics of both Shamanism and Reiki, offer suggestions for combining the practices, and making the healing sessions interactive, in a way that should be non threatening to most clients.
