Jim PathFinder Ewing

The role of dreams in the shamanic journey. Based on more than a decade of the author’s successful workshops, this resource expands and refines the unique combination of the hands-on healing modality of Reiki with the life-changing shamanic journey. The resulting knowledge is presented clearly and concisely, making it possible for those with no previous background in Reiki or shamanism to understand, appreciate, and enjoy the teachings while those more experienced can glean new insight for their own healing work. Providing generous examples of shamanic journeying beyond ordinary reality and citing hundreds of case studies from the author’s own private practice, this reference also lists internet references for further research.

Millions of people worldwide have been introduced to Reiki, the Japanese 'hands on' form of healing; and shamanism has been practised by indigenous cultures around the world for thousands of years. In this book, shaman and Reiki Master, Jim PathFinder Ewing (Nvnehi Awatisgi in Cherokee), combines both traditions to demonstrate step by step how anyone with rudimentary knowledge of Reiki or shamanism can heal people, places and things at hand or from a distance. This is a 'hands on' book for an out-of-body experience, a manual for actually healing using shamanic techniques and practising Reiki. The author explains Reiki and shamanism in simple, concise terms and goes on to explain how to journey shamanically and how to practise Reiki in the shamanic journey based on his own experience with examples from his own practice. As with his previous books, there are simple exercises to perform in order to build mastery and references to other books and Internet resources to expand one's knowledge. Principles are explained so that even the novice can understand what is involved, while experienced practitioners of Reiki or shamanism can expand their knowledge and ability.

Using simple rituals - whose roots draw from shamanism, spirituality, religion, Native American studies, vibrational energy and alternative medicine - becoming conscious of healing abilities is possible. This manual demonstrates not only how to gain the knowledge and wisdom afforded by various spirit beings, guides and helpers, but, also, how to apply this knowledge in the natural world. Key diagnostic methods address specific ways to talk with plants and animals, understand what they say and how they say it and how harmony, healing and wholeness may be attained in both urban and rural settings. Visualisation, prayer and other techniques for accessing the vibration rates and consciousness of living things are, also, explored. HEALING PLANTS AND ANIMALS AT A DISTANCE follows on from Jim's first two books and takes shamanic healing to the next level. Carefully carrying the reader along with explanations and examples of how shamanic ceremonies work and their reasons, the author not only teaches simple rituals for accessing the knowledge and wisdom of spirit beings, guides and helpers and how to attract them, but, also, shows how these techniques can be applied anywhere, especially in nature. The natural world has the greatest power because, as the book explains, it is structured on the basis of sacred geometry, as opposed to man-made environments, which lack harmony. The natural world is around us and within us all the time, so no matter what setting the reader is in - whether urban or rural - he or she can find harmony, healing and wholeness by following the guidelines in this book.

Journeying inward and outward in search of sacred places. These spiritual lessons are based on Native American shamanism but fit a wide range of interests from yoga and alternative medicine to Bible study and nature hiking. Hands-on exercises, step-by-step instructions for ceremonies, and sketches by the author's wife explain how to clear spaces of unwanted energy, create simple ceremonies, connect with spirit guides and angels, and interpret symbols. An extended discussion tells how to make a medicine wheel that resembles a labyrinth and use it as an engine for distance healing. Additional ceremonies for daily living, healing the earth, and soul retrieval are also described, and the spiritual quest itself is shown to follow the process of choosing a sacred place in nature, finding a sacred place within oneself, and connecting to the inner and outer worlds. Readers are encouraged to keep a notebook about their spiritual growth and refer to the key words and suggestions for internet research that are included.

How to clear negative energy from buildings and landscapes Working from the premise that every natural and human-made space has an energy of its own that can physically and emotionally effect anyone in that space, this introduction to ancient practices of environmental shamanism—or transformation of the energy of spaces—explains in practical terms how to liberate old, unproductive energy that may be stored in any space, making room for new vibrations to circulate and increase inhabitants' well-being. Combining timeless traditions with the author's vast experience in energy transformation, this manual offers step-by-step guidance for recognizing and manipulating the unseen forces that affect everyday life. Real-life examples, guided exercises, annotated endnotes, and an extensive glossary to supplement case studies making the book both informative and accessible for practical use.
