highly recommended

Alberto Villoldo, a classically trained medical anthropologist, has studied shamanic healing techniques among the descendants of the ancient Inkas for more than twenty years. In Shaman, Healer, Sage, he draws on his vast body of knowledge to create a practical and revolutionary program based on the traditional healing methods used by these shamans -- methods that, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world.

Villoldo explains that central to shamanic healing is the concept of the Luminous Energy Field that is believed to surround our material bodies. His book teaches us to see and influence the imprints that disease leaves on this field and thereby to heal ourselves and others, as well as prevent illness.

Villoldo weaves wonderful teaching stories throughout about the healing power of the energy medicine of the Americas. In one story, Villoldo comes down with pneumonia while in Peru. When antibiotics fail to control the infection, his mentor, the shaman Don Antonio, uses 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.

This book is rich with ancient wisdom and contemporary techniques we can use to help ourselves and others, as well as with the more advanced methods of master shamans, which are being brought to a wide audience for the first time.

still has the magic

I am rereading this book now for about the fourth time since I first bought it in 2001. I undertook the Medicine Wheel trainings offered by A. Villoldo through the Four Winds. He does a wonderful job in this book of capturing the beauty of this healing path. If you read this book simply for information on techniques, you will miss the point. The actual practice and ceremony is what brings this healing path to life. And once you have been through the initiaions, rereading the book recaptures the emotions and experiences of seeing through new eyes the world around you and inside you.
I remember what initially caught my attention was his statement that to the shaman, you are your body. It holds all your history, your emotions, your traumas, joys and experiences. As a massage therapist, undertaking my own healing quest has made me more sensitive to my clients and have found that the body always tells the truth.
I am happy that this work is made available to us.

"About healing, Shamanism, Spiritual and Universal Laws"

This book it's been very helpful to me!! It gives you a good description of each of the chackras potentials when it's working properly, how does it look when it's wounded, how you can heal. It gives cases, examples that needed healing and how he performed this healings. Alberto Villoldo narrates in this books his adventures while learning to be a Shaman, with the Shamans in the Amazon of Brazil and the Andes in Peru, Machu Pichu and others!
He teaches in this book how to open Sacred Space, and how to practice your second attention so you are able to see the luminous body, and other exercizes to help you find your wounded self, so you can heal!!! It was a quick read!!!

More relevant over time

This book is not a one time read. Purchase it with the expectation that you will want to read it again and again. I learn something new from it every time I flip through the pages. And, guess what? This is not a simple "read it and be done with it" book. The techniques require application!

Fascinating

This book is a good read for anyone interested
in healing. Contains various examples of
emotional/physical ailments & rituals that were
used in healing. It is not a sugar-coated book making
empty promises; there are no generalizations or
formulas but a case-by-case approach. Dr. Villoldo
spent countless years in the Amazon, and he is
generous in sharing his knowledge gained. Even
though he shares much, the author acts responsibly
by cautioning readers that much practice
is needed before calling oneself a 'healer.'
In other words, don't read the book and then
hang a "HEALER" sign on your door.
He writes eloquently on a subject
that one might otherwise have'pooh poohed' had
it been written by someone without a doctorate.
This book definitely causes great introspection.
