Just a reminder that Tim's book "The Earth Caretaker Way" is out and available directly from Tim at Headwaters or at Amazon in kindle and hard copy. It's a great guide and reference book.

This is a portion of Embrace Fearlessly the Burning World essays by Barry Lopez.

Change is coming fast though, on multiple fronts. Most of us begin the day now uncertain of exactly where we are. Once, we banked on knowing how to respond to all the important questions. Once, we assumed we'd be able to pass on to the next generation the skill of staying poised in worrying times, to survive what's headed our way.-global climate disruption, a new pandemic, additional authoritarian governments-and to endure, we will have to stretch our imaginations. We'll need to trust each other because today, it's as if every place has melted into the sameness of water. We are searching for the boats we forgot to build.

Happy and honored to be able to share my new book Brain Shift with ye. While I have copies here, copies are available at Thrift books for the best price. Books are also available at Barnes and Noble. AZ has some too but are priced high.

Brain Shift chronicles my path from a military engineer to a shamanic practitioner. Immersion in Nature and Indigenous ceremony were key elements in my transmutation.

My book, Brain Shift, From Head to Heart, is out and available from www.shastashaman.com or from other links on that page. If I, a military and professional engineer for 50 years, can transform to a shamanic healer you surely can, and in a shorter time. Yes, you can.

Shamans perform healing work, working mostly on matters of the soul and spirit. Medicine men/women perform healing work typically with the body. These healing paths are fully braided in indigenous cultures wherein the concept of holistic medicine has prevailed for many millennia.

My book, Brain Shift, is out. It traces my transformation from a military engineer to a shamanic healer. Immersion in Nature and in Native American ceremony were the key elements. Brain Shift offers a summary of shamanic healing ceremonies such as soul retrieval and power animal journeys as well as depossession, space clearing, and journeys to find your true self. There's a final section which suggests teachers for further study and useful reading material.

I'll have copies, $18 with free shipping, in a few days and it's also available on Amazon, The Book Depository, Barnes and Noble, and Austin Macauley publishers.

Good reviews from those in the know !
