The Mind of the Shaman

The Mind of the Shaman is an excellent addition to anyone's library on alternative medicine and shamanism. This book of articles written by Andrew outlines new ideas regarding the mind-body connection. Enriched by his firsthand knowledge and archaic concepts learned from traditional societies and cultural teachings, each article dreams up new ways of viewing Native American medicine, Tibetan Buddhist meditation, Chinese tonic herbs and nutritious superfoods that have been consumed for thousands of years. Andrew does a great job of deconstructing myth from the facts, guiding the reader to his or her own conclusions. If you are interested in preserving culture and glimpsing a world just beyond our consensus perception, you will love this book. Enjoy Andrew's companion book The State of Philosophy or explore the fine sociological threads in this simple to understand manuscript. Recommended for larger public libraries and academic libraries.
