Summary: Not very good at all
Comment: My main problem with the book was that there just wasn't much to it, both in terms of the writing (very wishy-washy) to the ideas. The author descibes 4 paths but does not do a good job of telling a person how to incorporate the concepts into daily life. Some other reviewers had much that was positive to say but I would argue that this book was like a cheerleading manual than a thoughtful guide.

Summary: Interesting philosophy but not good for Shamanism
Comment: This book claims to teach you to walk the paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary.
This book teaches four different kinds of meditation.
This book places the elements in other directions than I do, but if this technique speaks to you, by all means use it. The fact that you honor the elements, and treat them with respect is more important than the directions you associate them with.
This book describes the four brainwave frequencies beta, alpha, theta, and delta, but the frequencies are wrong.
delta (deep sleep) 4-7 HTZ
theta (light sleep) 7-11 HTZ
alpha (most meditation occurs here) 11-17 HTZ
beta (Wakeful consciousness) 17-21 HTZ
Appendix E was VERY informative. It described where the author has some people listen to Shamanic drumming tapes (3.5-4 beats per second)without telling them any thing in advance, then getting their experieces afterward...
If you want to learn Shamanism, I would recommend these books in this order.
"Shamanic Experience" Kenneth Meadows
"Shamanism: As A Spiritual Practise For Daily Life" Tom Cowan
"Shamanism" Gordon MacLellan
"The Way of the Shaman" Michael Harner
"Secrets Of Shamanism: Tapping the Spirit Power Within You" Jose and Lena Stevens
"Rainbow Medicine: A Visionary Guide to Native American Shamanism" Wolf Moondance
