SHAMANIC NAVIGATION Shapeshifting Techniques from the Andes, the Yucatan, and Tibet

Most us raise an eyebrow when someone asserts they're a shape-shifter. John Perkins, who has spent the better part of a lifetime becoming one, now teaches the shape-shifting techniques of the indigenous people of the Andes, the Yucatan, and Tibet in this fascinating work. With infectious enthusiasm, Perkins explains that shamanic shape-shifting can be as dramatic as literal transmutation into an animal and as prosaic as shifting one's intention to fulfill a purpose in life. Thankfully, the author provides scientific and cultural research supporting his claims, and even some mesmerizing guided meditations accompanied by shamanic drumming so that we can personally experience the mystery of shape-shifting.
