Synopsis

Drawing on his shamanic experiences in Africa, Japan and India, the author of this book takes readers on a "death walk" in which our worst fears and most profound emotions are confronted in order to awaken the shaman-warrior within. Through this method, one's own internal sorcery is unleashed and used as a guide in everyday life. Mindell shows us how to walk the shamanic path and avoid the phantoms of unrealistic hopes and desires that limit and control our lives.
