From one of our most respected shamanic teachers, Calling Us Home aims to help the ordinary person, caught up in the anxiety of modern life, find balance and peace of mind. How to hold on to happiness. How to develop strategies for dealing with fear, guilt, stress and feelings of inadequacy. How to manage irrational annoyance and stop it ruling your life.

Full of anecdotes from the author's Danish childhood to studying with Native American Indians and exploring wild places – the book teaches many things, from learning shamanic meditation to identifying which species of animal is your natural spirit guide.

This is a book to be savoured and loved, read and re-read, annotated and quoted from. Down to earth, warm, witty and wise – it is a bible for our times.

Using the traditional rituals of the shaman, such as drumming, visualisation and dreaming, discover more than 50 power animals and the special gifts they offer. All animals, from the wolf to the ant and the mongoose to the fox, carry a message of guidance and hope. Spirit Animal Guides presents a unique insight into power animals through first-hand encounters in the wild in America, Mexico and Europe. As a healer and educator, Chris communicates his encounters in a manner that is soulful and immediate. The gifts he reveals will inspire you to move forward through life and manifest your full potential. This guide will introduce you to the esoteric methods of working with animal guides, including shape shifting while dreaming and reading signs and omens to receive divine messages that come through animals. With specially commissioned paintings by Melissa Launay, Spirit Animal Guides will inspire you to work with the amazing energies of your personal power animal.
