Rewilding Yourself: Discovering Your Soul's Deep Roots Through Shamanic Practices

Summary

Many people these days feel a sense that something is missing from modern-day life. They yearn for something that is not met by money, possessions, human interactions, or even religions. Alongside this may be disenchantment with consumerist culture and concerns about the impact humans are having on the natural world. If this in any way describes you, then this book is a must-read.

For many centuries, earth-based spiritual practices have been persecuted and suppressed all over the world. They have been replaced by materialism, the myth of human supremacy, and ungrounded religions. We have lost our connection with nature, our spiritual connection with the natural world. We have tamed most of the Earth to the extent that little true wilderness is left, and we have destroyed indigenous cultures who lived in harmony with the environment for thousands of years. We have domesticated not only the world around us but ourselves too. In doing so, we have lost our way. We have become uprooted and adrift and are killing the ecosystems to which we belong. The ancient practice of shamanism cultivates a deep spiritual connection to the Earth. It is not a religion. There is no dogma, and no belief is required. Instead, it offers practical methods that can heal our sense of disconnection, and provides a template for living in a healthy relationship with the Earth. Therapeutic Shamanism is rooted in these ancient practices and shows us how to take them forward and make them relevant to modern-day life.

Following on from the highly-acclaimed first volume in this series, “Rewilding Yourself”, Volume 2 in the Therapeutic Shamanism series, is an in-depth and comprehensive guide, uniquely dedicated to shamanic lower-world practices. Eye-opening and full of life-changing insights, it also provides a practical, step-by-step guide to reconnecting to the sacredness of the earth and rediscovering the deep, wild and connected roots of your own true soul.
