Summary: Excellent reference book
Comment: I keep a copy of this on my bookshelf for reference and study and recommend it to my friends and my sons. One son read it, did the exercises and found it an excellent self study in shamanism. I have worked and traveled with the Stevens' and give them my highest praise and recommendation. They are living examples of teachers who 'walk their talk.' David M. Ross, LCSW

Summary: Excellent overview of shamanism
Comment: This work contains practical exercises in an extremely user friendly format that anyone can apply. It contains step by step guidelines for the various exercises in the book. The author covers important topics like grounding, protection, getting into altered states of consciousness, etc... in a very readable style. Although it is presented in a somewhat "new agey" manner in regards to shamanism and some topics which I am pretty sure no ancient shaman ever practised, the author gives plenty of real life examples which makes the book enjoyable and readable.

Summary: Great for beginners, but...
Comment: This was the first book I read concerning the Shamanic practice, and is only one of many. This book is responsible for my devotion to this way of life. It is easy to read, enjoyable, intriguing, and very useful. It is ideal for introducing newcomers as it is also non-threatening. HOWEVER, there is one important fact that I think the authors failed to express: The universal fact that shamanism is different for each individual who practices it. This book lists exercises to do in step-by-step processes; I think this somewhat limits the mental/spiritual creativity that makes the shamanic practice so effective. Sure, the exercises can be done, and will work, too, but those serious about the practice should not limit themselves to only the practices in this one book. I would recommend reading several others to gain a greater perspective on the subject, read only as opinions, as, like I said, the practice is different for every person. Even the practices here can be done in many other ways, not just like they are said to be done by the authors. Techniques not mentioned may be more effective for different people. In short: This book should be read as an outline, an introduction to the personal shamanic experience.
