My Thoughts:

Shamanism has fascinated me for many years. I've always felt called to do more research on it. When I heard about the Ultimate Guide to Shamanism I was so excited to read it! Right away, the cover of the book drew me in with its gorgeous colors and art. As I read through the pages, I admired not only the in-depth information provided, but the photography, the artwork, and the displays. The author really included so much to help the reader feel connected. 

You truly feel like you are a part of this book as you learn how to dive deeper into yourself and your spiritual practices. It's as if the author is taking you on a journey of self-discovery. You're excited to take from the wisdom shared. It also provides a good amount of historical context, which is so important when you're learning about something as profound as shamanism. I really loved how easy to read this book was. From start to finish you are guided to new ideas and perspectives. I especially loved learning about crystals and space cleaning because those are things that I already love to do in my daily life. It was great to learn more about how that connects to shamanism. The information on plants was also fascinating to learn about since so many of us, myself included, are trying to live a more holistic and natural life. I got excited to set up my own sacred spaces and altars to go along with the shamanic teachings. There were many elements to this book that can be incorporated into everyday life just as much as aspects that can be sacred and planned out. 

If you're someone who is interested in learning more about shamanism, spirituality, mindfulness, or connecting with yourself in general, this book is perfect for you! I highly recommend it as a fantastic addition to any collection!

Book Review: A Shaman's Tale: Path to Spirit Consciousness

A Shaman's Tale is the autobiographical tale about one man's journey to spiritual awareness and his profound insights into the mysteries of life and death. Based on the author's experience as a shaman, meditation teacher, and spiritual counselor, A Shaman's Tale will show readers how to actively engage in their own transformation to inner peace and awareness. The author's retelling of his paranormal and mystic experiences will illuminate a spirit world open to anyone who is in search of higher consciousness.

Richard Alaniz has more than twenty-five years of training in indigenous shamanic practices. He developed the Balik meditation method and is the author of Aura of Consciousness: Transition To Spirituality and the forthcoming Balik Meditation: Wellness to Mind-Body-Spirit.

Our Thoughts

Reading the personal journey of someone’s life and spirituality has been an awe-inspiring experience. Any belief system is near and dear to the one who believes in it, so to put it all out there for everyone to read takes some bravery and confidence. This book was very matter-of-fact and no-fuss. The explanations he used to compare things to help us understand what he was saying worked amazingly.

He has forever changed how I feel about using the phrase "believe in" and "I know this", as there is definitely a difference when it comes to your spiritual beliefs. Richard also opens up about some hard personal moments with passed family members and their "visits" to him. So much controversy can be had over whether this is possible, but for those who have gone through this, it is comforting to read someone else's experience as well.

Another aspect that I loved about this book was the history and cultural learning involved with his life and teachings. I found it fascinating, I just love reading anything about other cultures! 

After just a few chapters in I was inspired to look up the author's website and I really fell in love with it. Very real, down to earth and not spiritually "cheesy" like a lot of websites, Richard gets down to business about his life's journey and really shows you how he lives his life and "walks the walk" of his beliefs.
