The Heart of the Shaman will take you on a journey into the sacred world of the shaman, through stories, dreams, and ancient rites.
In his latest book, Alberto Villoldo sets his focus on the dreaming and time-travel practices of the medicine men and women of the Andes and Amazon, whose wisdom radically changed his worldview. Villoldo shares some of their time-honored teachings that emphasize the sacred dream: an ephemeral, yet powerful vision that has the potential to guide us to our purpose and show us our place in the universe.
The practices in this book will help you forge a sacred dream for yourself. They will help you craft a destiny infused with courage, and driven by vision. You’ll be invited to follow the footsteps of the luminous warrior and learn how to break out of the three nightmares surrounding love, death, and safety that have held you captive, and transform them into the experience of timeless freedom, known as the Primordial Light. This creative power exercised by shamans will lead you to create beauty and healing, and dream a new world into being.
When you transform these dreams and accept that life is ever changing, that your mortality is a given, and that no one except you can free you from fear—the chaos in your life turns to order, and beauty prevails. “Wake up from the slumber you are living in, and dream with your eyes open so that all the possibilities of the future are available to you.”
“The Heart of the Shaman is absolutely extraordinary. It grabbed me from the first paragraph. What a monumental and uplifting contribution to the planet at this critical turning point in our history.” — Christiane Northrup, M.D., #1 New York Times best-selling author
“Dr. Alberto Villoldo’s wisdom shines again. The Heart of the Shaman is a straightforward, priceless guide to achieving balance and joy in our lives. Truly a must-read.” — Mark Hyman, M.D., #1 New York Times best-selling author
“The Heart of the Shaman takes us on a deep and meaningful transformative journey, providing a map and showing us a way to discard the conditioning of modern society and embrace a new means of co-creating our reality. Highly recommend for all modern seekers on a path of spiritual and personal discovery.” — Colette Baron-Reid, internationally acclaimed oracle expert, spiritual medium, and best-selling author of Uncharted
“This book is an honest and powerful blessing for the struggling soul in all of us. It summons our courage to leave the hell of our illusions and follow the way to genuine freedom.” — Sonia Choquette, New York Times best-selling author of Waking Up in Paris
“The Heart of the Shaman takes you into the depths of what it means to be truly alive. Alberto Villoldo has given us a sacred key to open the gateway into the mysterious and wondrous realm of the shaman. Highly recommended!” — Denise Linn, best-selling author of Energy Strands
“Don Alberto’s great book is a true doorway into the deep reality of the universe, the infinite light in which we can become the luminous warriors of love and joy and peace we have always wanted to be. Just reading the book is going through that door, as we are inspired and instructed by his shining example and practical wisdom. His voice calls us from the high Andes of the spirit to come home to the beautiful continent of the enlightened heart!” — Robert Thurman, Professor of Indo-Tibetan Studies, Columbia University; President, Tibet House US; and author of Man of Peace
