Description
The Heart of the Shaman will take you on a journey into the sacred world of the shaman, through stories, dreams, and ancient rites.
In his latest book, Dr. Alberto Villoldo sets his focus on what the shamans of Peru call the sacred dream—a powerful revelation that has the potential to guide us to our purpose and show us our place in the universe.
The practices in this book will help you forge a sacred dream for yourself. They will help you transform the dreams of security, permanence, and unconditional love that keep you trapped in a nightmare, so you can craft a destiny infused with courage, and driven by vision.
When you transform these dreams and accept that life is ever changing, that your mortality is a given, and that no one except you can free you from fear—the chaos in your life turns to order, and beauty prevails.
You’ll be invited to become a luminous warrior, to live fearlessly, to dare speak the inconvenient truths, uphold universal values that honor all life, and perform daily acts of courage.
“Wake up from the slumber you are living in, and dream with your eyes open so that all the possibilities of the future are available to you.”

This book shows you how to dream. It shows you how to find "your sacred dream". It is a wonderful joyful book. I loved it. I can't wait to read it again.
I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.

An extraordinary book of dreaming about the things in life that we need. Health, love and security are things we hope for but are unable to find. Things we all want yet cannot seem to find. It's about joy and peace. Reading this book was an honor. I hope to be able to do the things that he is teaching. Anyone reading this book will see how to find that which we dream of. I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review and no compensation otherwise.

5 Stars. An interesting read that imparts the lush wisdom of the Andes along with anecdotes from the author’s experiences with Q'ero medicine man, Don Manuel. Shaman or not, if you havent given Alberto Villoldo’s books a go before, I urge you to give this one a try. Highly recommend.

This is a wonderful book. I have read several of the author's other books so was delighted when I found this one. The first part is full of history, stories and the authors experiences with shamans of the Amazon. The book is very well written with just the right amount of information and it held my interest all the way through. The second part included exercises and information about forming your own sacred dream and waking up from the slumber our lives have become. It is beautifully written and will resonate with many people. I will definitely read it again soon and would recommend it to everyone. Many Thanks
