Summary: Shaman, Healer, Sage: How to Heal Yourselfand Others With t
Comment: When I began reading this book, I was intrigued by Villoldo's Inca Healing techniques. Unfortunately, that was quickly diminished after reading the first half of the book when I noted that some of his information appeared inaccurate. He cites that a psychiatrist,Jerome Frank, wrote a book regarding the meaning of life from a Nazi concentration camp. Although Frank is an author, the book he described was written by Viktor Frankl.
In reading on the 5th chakra problems, Villoldo's gives a loose interpretation on how a borderline personality is susceptible to psychosis and neurosis, yet gives no other more significant features or origination of this personality disorder. Spiritual healers should avoid using these mundane labels in their spiritual practice. Villoldo is on a slippery slope promoting the use of diagnosing psych disorders to healers who do not have the expertise to make such diagnosis on people who have most likely already been stigmatized. Also, Villoldo contradicts most written work on interpreting the energetic levels. He fails to address his reasons for his unique interpretation(-the causal level being at the physical and the physical beyond astral and mental energy levels), which left me wondering if these were simply editing error's or Villoldo himself. Because Western culture is only beginning to accept alternative medical traditions, it is important that author's and teachers be impeccable in their teachings so that healing can continue to evolve in its legitimacy to mainstream western medicine.

Summary: Shaman, Healer, Sage, and Beyond
Comment: This book is , I believe, the result of Villoldo's intense collaboration with his students and the Inca elders during the last 10 years, and his wanderings for twenty years through the healing pathways of Native American, Meso-American, and Amazonian energy medicine. As his student for 11 years, I see the core of his current teaching. In person, Villoldo is a master at group process, and experiential teaching. In Europe, this text is called "The Book" and has attracted a huge following of foreign students. Dr. Villoldo has blended the energy medicine of indigenous people and has created a new shamanism for our time. This book is a Gateway to both the old and the new. This book can also be a Gateway for those that wish to heal, and for those that wish to heal others.

Summary: Wonderful and life changing book....
Comment: This book literaly fell into my hands in a bookstore when I wasn't even looking. My husband is from Peru and we will be going there next year. My sister in-law has been studying with a shamen for awhile now and as this book lets you know, it is life changing. Though in a great way. We are all ready to relearn the ways of old, since the new ways are not working.
Alberto tells his story in a format that is easy to understand. I think you will enjoy this book emensely and learn much from Alberto who studied with the shamens for over 20 years.
