So the book explores how to bring Shamanism up-to-date, to make it fully and directly relevant to mode.
For we are no longer the same kind of people as our hunter-gatherer ancestors were, and we live in very different times and face many different challenges.
Moreover, this book looks at how to place the ancient art of Shamanism at the centre of our modern lives, in order to be able to experience that longed-for connection with our true selves and with Spirit.
It includes: a full introduction to the lower, middle and upper Shamanic realms; an easy-to-follow, step-by-step Guide to doing your first Shamanic journey; guidance on how to connect and nurture a life-long relationship with your Power Animal; instruction on how do a basic Shamanic healing; Practical know-how for interpreting the meaning and symbolism contained within your journeys.
By building upon the work of Michael Harner, author of 1980\'s classic \'The Way of the Shaman\', Francis has created a practical, ethical and experiential guide; from what Shamanism is, right through to giving a Shamanic healing to another person.
In The Shamanic Journey, Shamanic practitioner, teacher and psychotherapist, Paul Francis, offers an apprenticeship for our times.
In shamanism, we find a journey that can lead us to true fulfilment and purpose, and to a right way of living and being in the world.
As the oldest healing and spiritual practice known to humankind, it can help us to retrieve that which feels lost.
If you are ready, the practice of Shamanism holds the answers.
Yet people are often unsure as to what they can do to find this.
People long for a deeper sense of connection, a greater purpose, and a more sustainable and natural way of living.
Somehow, we have lost our way.
Mental health issues are on the rise, and we face an environmental crisis.
Our increased material wealth is making us less happy, not more.
Many people feel a growing disenchantment with modern life; that something fundamental is missing or \'wrong\'. - from \'The Shamanic Journey\'.
To say that this will change your life for the better is a remarkable understatement.
And you will trust this new way of being, because you will personally experience it.
You don\'t need any special talents or powers, just an open mind. you will experience first-hand the healing power of shamanism, and your eyes will be opened to a world of mystery and potential that has been there all along.
This book, if you let it, will take you on a journey..
