The Shaman's Book of Living and Dying

Written by Alberto Villoldo and Anne O'Neill

Narrated by Jonathan Yen

One of the pioneers in energy healing and shamanism recounts twelve miraculous stories in which, through the use of shamanic energetic techniques, people experience extraordinary physical and emotional healings. Meet a dancer who could barely walk until a series of sessions with Alberto Villoldo; a businesswoman who is freed from headaches and discovers the benefits of an integrated interior life; and a young woman who confronts her past and recovers from crippling depression. Each of these stories is rooted in Villoldo's experience as a healer, mental health professional, and devotee of Indigenous wisdom and lore from around the world.

Ultimately, Villoldo demonstrates how a shaman assists us in discovering our own capacity for self-healing. He introduces us to physical, mental, and spiritual disease and presents techniques that can heal us, make us whole, and make us new. Having devoted twenty-five years of study to the healing practices of the Amazon and Andean shamans, Villoldo is teaching people how to actually grow new bodies.

By learning ancient shaman wisdom from Alberto Villoldo, you can heal disease, eliminate emotional suffering, and even grow a new body that ages and heals differently. The stories in this book are amazing and inspiring.

Reviews for The Shaman's Book of Living and Dying

[Patricia Delfin · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Honesty, humility and wisdom all wrapped up in one. A great book with illuminating messages. Grateful to have come across it.

[Stacy LeDoux · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

This book is full of self promotion for his other books as well as his light body energy school which happens to be over $10,000 for 6 months. This is the opposite of what Shamanism is. This is exploiting the sacred practice for this man's profit.
