"In Way of the Ancient Healer, Virgil Mayor Apostol brilliantly
blends the art and science of the sacred teachings of Filipino
traditional healing to help people find their path toward health
and happiness."
—Deepak Chopra, author, Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the
Soul
“The recent upsurge of interest and research into the connection
between the mind and body that reaches into the spiritual, a
largely ignored realm for decades, shows that science acknowledges
that there is much that we do not yet know. The mechanisms that
link the nervous system, immune system, and endocrine system have
only begun to be understood, and it is perhaps this avenue that
will fruitfully provide the initial understanding of the link
between spirituality and health, and the secrets of these healing
traditions, including Filipino healing as presented in this
book.”
—Edward K. Fujimoto, DrPH, former professor of the DrPH Program in
Preventive Care, Loma Linda University
“This brilliant and powerful work is a must for everyone in the
healing arts as well as those who would increase the depth and
breadth of their humanity. It is not only the first major study of
the extraordinary practices of the visionary healers of the
Philippines, but offers the reader inner knowledge of human
possibilities once thought to be mythic, now shown to be real.”
—Jean Houston, PhD, founder of Mystery School, Ashland, Oregon, and
author of A Mythic Life: Learning to Live Our Greater Story
“Interest in complimentary and alternative therapies is on the
rise, and Virgil Mayor Apostol’s Way of the Ancient Healer is a
fascinating cross-cultural exploration of the nature of health,
illness, and healing in the Philippine tradition that will be of
special interest to those reconsidering the methodologies of
traditional shamans for healing and problem-solving.”
—Hank Wesselman, PhD, anthropologist and author of Spiritwalker:
Messages from the Future and Awakening to the Spirit World: The
Shamanic Path of Direct Revelation (with Sandra Ingerman)
“A brilliant account of the ancient Filipino healing arts
written by one of its authentic practitioners and teachers.
Essential reading for anyone interested in indigenous health and
healing.”

Power of Ecstatic Movement, Bushman Shaman: Awakening the Spirit
