A distinguished anthropologist-who is also an initiated shaman-reveals the long-hidden female roots of the world's oldest form of religion and medicine. Here is a fascinating expedition into this ancient tradition, from its prehistoric beginnings to the work of women shamans across the globe today.
Shamanism was not only humankind's first spiritual and healing practice, it was originally the domain of women. This is the claim of Barbara Tedlock's provocative and myth-shattering book. Reinterpreting generations of scholarship, Tedlock-herself an expert in dreamwork, divination, and healing-explains how and why the role of women in shamanism was misinterpreted and suppressed, and offers a dazzling array of evidence, from prehistoric African rock art to modern Mongolian ceremonies, for women's shamanic powers.
Tedlock combines firsthand accounts of her own training among the Maya of Guatemala with the rich record of women warriors and hunters, spiritual guides, and prophets from many cultures and times. Probing the practices that distinguish female shamanism from the much better known male traditions, she reveals:
- The key role of body wisdom and women's eroticism in shamanic trance and ecstasy
- The female forms of dream witnessing, vision questing, and use of hallucinogenic drugs
- Shamanic midwifery and the spiritual powers released in childbirth and monthly female cycles
- Shamanic symbolism in weaving and other feminine arts
- Gender shifting and male-female partnership in shamanic practice
Filled with illuminating stories and illustrations, The Woman in the Shaman's Body restores women to their essential place in the history of spirituality and celebrates their continuing role in the worldwide resurgence of shamanism today.

Originally, the Sirius System contained two large stars, blue-white Sirius A (Isis), still the brightest star in our nighttime sky, and red-giant Sirius B (Osiris). Both were visible from Earth. Circling these stars was a large planet, the "offspring" of these two stellar "deities": Horus, or Planet X Nibiru. This planet was inhabited by "Saurians" who possessed an advanced technology, including space travel. When red-giant Sirius B imploded and collapsed into its presently invisible neutron-dwarf state, shockwaves from this momentous occurrence catapulted Planet X Nibiru from the Sirius System into our own nearby Solar System. This cataclysm clearly happened within our recorded history, and it is the primary purpose of this book to explore that event.

The book is a telepathic communication between myself and Dar, a evolved human from 23 million years in the future, as well as several other guides, spiritual and otherwise, from various future time periods. Although most of the contact is through Dar, several of his companions, from various timelines from a few centuries to over 1000 million years in the future have made some observations about various time periods. The book covers technology, spirit guides, singularities, timelines, evolution, time travel, parallel worlds, future cities and other realities. It also covers altered states of consciousness, the 2012 event, space travel, time lines, advanced data storage, power generation, future history and my notes. There is discussion in time and the nature of reality, as well as technological development and where it is leading us into the future. It is about possibilities, and I do not mean it to be either a positive or negative statement, but an observation of what is. I hope the book will encourage some people to objectively seek out alternative possibilities.

Every day we experience situations where we are exposed to uncertainties, mental or emotional disturbances, positive or negative stress. Everything we go through leaves a mark on our personal story. Some are uplifting positive memories, others are painful to a degree that we suppress them in order to escape the trauma. Each detail of our personal story reveals part of who we are and what blocks our growth. In these spheres of our personal stories we hide our deepest beliefs, concepts, feelings and thoughts that all affect the way we look at life, each other and ourselves. This often generates diseases in our mental, emotional or physical bodies. The Song of Life Healing Matrix provides you with the unique tools to bring to light the deepest details of your of own song of life. This highly effective tool contains the teachings from eight representatives of the Divine Mother-the ascended masters who represent the divine Feminine for planet earth. They address the blocks to your personal healing and introduce a highly effective tool for sound healing in the form of the Song Life. The eight invocations that you can easily learn, allow you to call forth the following types of healing: The transformation of your sense of identity so you realize you are a spiritual being in a human body. The clearing of your mental body from all blocking illusions and destructive thought patterns. The healing of emotional wounds and the release of the accumulated negative feelings that reinforce self-destructive reactionary patterns. The healing of the organs and systems in your physical body from any disease. The healing of all lack of balance that prevents you from manifesting your goals in life. The healing of all sense of lack that block the manifestation of a spiritually and materially abundant life. The healing of all blocks to your acceptance of unconditional love and the flow of love through your being. The healing of the denial of your true identity as a co-creator with God and the fact that we are all are part of the Divine Feminine.

Suppose there is something going on in the universe which is to ordinary, everyday reality as our unconcious is to our daily lives? Softly, but unmistakably guiding it.

Lawrence Kushner, whose previous books have opened up new spiritual possibilities, now tells us stories in a new literary form.

Through his everyday encounters with family, friends, colleagues and strangers, Kushner takes us deeply into our lives, finding flashes of spiritual insight in the process. Such otherwise ordinary moments as fighting with his children, shopping for bargain basement clothes, or just watching a movie are revealed to be touchstones for the sacred.

This is a book where literature meets spirituality, where the sacred meets the ordinary, and, above all, where people of all faiths, all backgrounds can meet one another and themselves.
