Millions of people have felt called to integrate both ancient and modern healing systems into a new model of healthcare. But what makes shamanic healing so powerful? Why have indigenous healers kept it alive for thousands of years? Revealing his personal journey and stories from his more than 20 years as a shamanic healer, Itzhak Beery explains who a shaman is and how he or she works, demystifying and destigmatizing the shamanic healing worldview. He shares shamanic wisdom from two of his teachers: a Yachak from Ecuador and a well-known Brazilian Pagé.

He shares protection and self-defense techniques for confronting negative energies, such as spirit attachment and possession. Sharing healing stories that each address a specific condition, such as panic attacks, PTSD, depression, cancer, chronic pain, grief, and relationship problems, Beery explains how a shaman is not responsible for curing everyone and will consult with the patient's soul to determine its needs, which sometimes includes learning from the illness experience. By sharing these healing methods, Beery reveals the importance of shamanic practices in resolving our 21st-century emotional and physical problems and their importance to the future of humanity and the planet.

📔 Questions to reflect on

Reflect on a time you felt disconnected or fragmented. How might a shamanic perspective of 'soul loss' apply to that experience, and what steps could help you feel more whole?
Consider the natural elements around you (plants, water, stones). How do you perceive their energy, and how might you consciously invite them to support your well-being or cleanse your space?
The book discusses confronting negative energies. What personal or environmental 'negative energies' do you recognize in your life, and what protective practices might resonate with you?
