author of Fingerprints of the Gods

"Omar's adventures in Elemental Shaman are
inspiring and lively, with a lot of useful insight and inspiration." —Robert A. F. Thurman, professor of Buddhist studies at Columbia University and author of Why the Dalai Lama Matters

This fascinating true story chronicles one man's journey into the mysteries of spiritual consciousness and the indigenous healing practices of four shamanistic traditions: Toltec, Cherokee, Maya, and Buddhist.

In his travels around the globe, Rosales witnesses the powerful channeled spirit Niño Fidencio, receives messages and healing from a Toltec shaman, and experiences a dramatic soul retrieval from a Cherokee spiritwalker. Rosales travels to Guatemala, where he meets a Mayan high priestess, or a'j' r'ij, and the secret brotherhoods called cofradias, whose mission is to guard Maximón, the last living Mayan god. Rosales's last journey is to Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, where he spends time with a holy lama.

"Superb. A real thriller!"
—Carmen Harra, Ph.D., author of Everyday Karma
