The word 'shaman' means 'one who sees in the dark'. Shamans consciously choose to live in two different worlds at the same time. They have one foot here in the everyday world and one foot in the world of the Spirits. The fact is, we all live in these two different worlds, but are commonly not aware of the other, less visible one. This world does not exist in some other place, but is right beside us, just outside our usual perceptions. "Seeing in the Dark" shows readers how to hone their energy perception and reception skills and discover this world of the Spirits. It does not pretend to replace the extensive training involved in becoming a shaman capable of serving others, but it does contain over 100 easy-to-follow, step-by-step practical exercises that teach readers important survival tools for the coming changes of 2012 and beyond. It also includes instructions for constructing a personal medicine wheel - something never before done in a book.

Reviews

"A shaman is never truly alone. Instead, there is an unwavering belief that loving companions are always traveling with us. Feeling this fills us with boundless joy and deep gratitude for our life and our beautiful planet. Seeing in the Dark is both a step-by-step guide to developing powerful kinships with the spirits who surround us and to nurturing a clearer understanding of our place in the Universe." --Evelyn C. Rysdyk, Shamanic teacher and healer, author of Modern Shamanic Living, and on the editorial board of The Journal of Shamanic Practice
