Filled with practical techniques, indigenous wisdom, and guidance, a shamanic practitioner reveals how to live in a way that is empowered by purpose, focus, and a deep connection to the spiritual dimensions.

From cross-cultural legends recounting shamanic cures to the biblical accounts of the parting of the Red Sea and Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes, many spiritual traditions are rich in stories about seemingly inexplicable transformations of the natural world. The ancient healing art of transmutation, in which toxic substances are transformed into "safe" substances, is mentioned in all the world's great spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Taoism. And while many have tapped this body of work to heal the self, it has yet to be used to heal our environment.For twenty years, Sandra Ingerman has studied alternative ways to reverse environmental pollution. In this book, Ingerman takes us on a remarkable journey through the history of transmutation, teaching us how we can use this forgotten technique to change ourselves and our environment. She provides us with creative visualizations, ceremonies, rituals, and chants derived from ancient healing practices that produce miraculous, scientifically proven results. In one dramatic illustration of what can be accomplished when consciousness and awareness fuel our actions, Ingerman describes her own success in transforming the nature of chemically polluted water.

Today, practicing shamanism doesn't mean you have to live in a rain forest or a desert. Thanks to a modern renaissance of shamanic spirituality, practitioners from all walks of life now use powerful indigenous techniques for healing, insight, and spiritual growth. With Awakening to the Spirit World, teachers Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman bring together a circle of renowned Western shamanic elders to present a comprehensive manual for making these practices accessible and available in our daily lives, including:- How the original practice of shamanism shaped the world's spiritual traditions and why it is still relevant today - The art of the shamanic journey--a time-tested meditative method for experiencing important spiritual lessons and truths - Guidance for avoiding common pitfalls of shamanic practice - Instruction for working with your dreams, connecting to your spirit guides, healing yourself and your environment - A CD of drumming to facilitate your shamanic journeys

The shamanic journey is a practice common to all indigenous societies throughout history. By listening to a drumbeat or other rhythmic percussion, the shaman enters """"non-ordinary"""" reality - an altered state of consciousness beyond time and space - to access spiritual guidance and healing, assist others and the planet, and reconnect with the cycles of nature. Shamanic Journeying offers you an interactive learning experience to discover how to journey just as traditional shamans have for centuries.

We perform ceremonies to mark important events and celebrate holidays, yet our modern approach only scratches the surface of their true potential. A shamanic teacher presents a rich resource for creating ceremonies filled with joy, purpose, and magic. "We are hungry to connect with more than what we experience with our ordinary senses," she writes. "By performing ceremonies, you will find yourself stepping into a beautiful and creative power you might never have imagined." This exploration delves into the elements of a powerful ceremony, including setting strong intentions, choosing your space, preparing ceremonial items, and gracefully handling the unexpected. It emphasizes stepping into the sacred, offering key practices for leaving behind everyday concerns to create a space for magic. Guidance is provided for working alone, in community, and across distances with virtual ceremonies. The text covers invoking spiritual allies, the power of working with elements, natural world, ancestor spirits, and divine creative energy. It discusses sacred transitions, including ceremonies for weddings, births, and funerals, as well as ceremonies for energetic balance, healing, and blessing. More than a "how-to" guide, this resource inspires the creation of original ceremonies tailored to individual and community needs. By invoking the sacred power of ceremony, you tap into one of the oldest tools for transforming yourself and the wor

According to Sandra Ingerman and thousands of years of shamans before her, it is not what we do but who we are and what we are willing to become that affects our happiness, the health of our communities, and ultimately the planet itself. The Shaman's Toolkit teaches us how to root out the beliefs that are limiting us, how to heal our inner lives and become the people we most want to be, and how to utilize ancient shamanic principles of manifestation to help shape the world we want to live in. This is shamanism with a kind of social change agenda. It's about having the happiest and most fulfilling life possible and becoming a truly effective world citizen and change maker. (This book was originally published in 2010 as How to Thrive in Changing Times.)
