A renowned medical anthropologist offers a practical and revolutionary program to alleviate the effects of disease, prevent illness, and revitalize relationships using traditional shamanic healing methods "At last, a deeply committed seeker, scholar, and teacher has brought the rich legacy of Native America forward to take its rightful place among the world's great spiritual traditions."--Rudolph Ballentine, M.D., author of Radical Healing Alberto Villoldo has studied shamanic healing techniques among the descendants of the ancient Inkas for decades. In Shaman, Healer, Sage, he draws on his vast body of knowledge to create a program based on the ancient healing methods used by these shamans--methods that have long been inaccessible to most of the world. Villoldo explains the Luminous Energy Field, the central concept to shamanic healing that is believed to surround our material bodies, and teaches us how to see and influence the imprints that disease leaves on this field and thereby heal ourselves and others, as well as ward off illness. Villoldo masterfully weaves personal anecdotes throughout his teachings that showcase the power of the energy medicine of the Americas. In one story, he recounts when antibiotics failed to control his pneumonia after he contracted the infection in Peru. His mentor, the shaman Don Antonio, used the process of Illumination to remove the toxins that had invaded Villoldo's body. These same shamanic techniques later allowed Villoldo to remove stagnant energy from a young woman whose marriage was suffering due to her past experience with abandonment. With the aid of shamanic work, the woman regained her trust in others, and her marriage was revitalized. Rich with ancient wisdom and contemporary techniques, Shaman, Healer, Sage is an invaluable resource to helping ourselves and others.

This fascinating book by Psychologist and medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., explains the practices for healing outside of ordinary time and space. It shows how to enter the timeless now to heal events that occurred in the past, and to correct the course of destiny. Dr Villoldo discusses ways in which you can heal yourself and your loved ones by employing intention through practices used by shamans of the Americas - which, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world. The Shamans of old called this Journeying. In this book, you'll discover that you have a four-chambered heart in the same way you have a four chambered soul. In the first chapter, you store away the memory of a wound that derailed your destiny. In the second, you keep the limiting beliefs and soul contracts that you entered into at the time of your loss. In the third, you recover the grace and trust that will make you whole again; and in the fourth, you remember the calling and mission

Included in this book are the wisdom teachings that have been protected by secret societies of Eartkeepers, the medicine men and women of the Americas. The four insights state that all of creation- humans, whales, and even stars- is made from light manifested through the power of intention. The Earthkeepers used the insights to heal disease, eliminate emotional suffering, and even grow new bodies that age and heal differently. The first insight teaches you how to shed the emotional wounds from your past in the same way that a snake sheds her skin: all at once. It teaches you that you aren't your story or your history, but the hero of your own life. The second insight instructs you how to move beyond fear and anger to live and practice grace. The third insight shows you how to step outside of time and into infinity, to fix things before they're born and to heal destiny. And the fourth insight details how to dream the world into being by waking up from the cultural trance that you've been educated into in order to create joy, abundance, and meaning in your life.

Die Inkas, eine der größten Zivilisationen des amerikanischen Kontinents, waren nicht nur berühmte Städtebauer, sondern besaßen auch ein außergewöhnliches Medizinsystem. Ihre Schamanen entwickelten vor mehr als 5000 Jahren eine Technik, Krankheiten mit Geist und Licht zu heilen. Alberto Villoldo studierte 25 Jahre lang die heilende Macht dieser energiemedizinischen Tradition. Aufbauend auf dem alten Heilsweg, stellte er ein praktikables Programm zusammen, das es ermöglicht, sich selbst und andere zu heilen und Krankheiten zu vermeiden. Kernstück seines Konzepts sind die lichtvollen Energiefelder, die den materiellen Körper umgeben und sich im Krankheitsfall verändern. Schritt für Schritt macht Villoldo den Leser mit den Techniken vertraut, die Aura zu sehen und das Energiefeld zu harmonisieren.

Alberto Villoldo hat über 25 Jahre die schamanistischen Heilungspraktiken der Inka und der Indianer Amazoniens studiert. Er begegnete dort auch dem überaus machtvollen Prozess der Geistreisen. In diesem Buch zeigt er, wie die Geistreisen bei den schamanistischen Kulturen genutzt werden, um die verlorene Seele zurückzuholen und die ureigene Bestimmung zu finden. Mit Villoldos Anleitung wird die Methode der Schamanen auch westlichen Lesern zugänglich. Wie wir physisch ein Herz mit vier Kammern haben, besitzt nach schamanistischer Auffassung auch die Seele vier Kammern. In der ersten Kammer tragen wir die Erinnerung an all die Verwundungen, die uns von der Identität mit unserem ganzen Selbst trennen. In der zweiten Kammer liegen die Glaubenssätze und seelischen Einschränkungen, die wir uns auferlegt haben. In der dritten Kammer begegnen wir der psychischen Kraft und dem Urvertrauen, die uns zu unserer Ganzheit zurückführen können. Und in der vierten Kammerwartet die Erinnerung an unsere Seelenaufgabe, die der Sinn unseres Lebens ist. Die Geistreisen zu unseren inneren Quellen bieten einen Weg zu persönlichem Wachstum, der oft in kurzer Zeit Entwicklungen ermöglicht, die mit Psychotherapie Jahre dauern würden. "Alberto Villoldo führt sehr sorgfältig Schritt für Schritt in diese höchst wirkungsvollen Techniken ein." Bewusst Sein
