  • North Atlantic Books January–June 2014 Ema's Odyssey Shamanism for Healing and Spiritual Knowledge
    PHOTO BY SEAN GOLD North Atlantic Books January–June 2014 Ema's Odyssey Shamanism for Healing and Spiritual Knowledge Sandra Harner This enchanting, poetic recording of one woman's experiences while in a shamanic state of consciousness is a must-read for students and practitioners of shamanism, and will have broad appeal for spiritual and New Age readers interested in personal growth, self-discovery, and self-healing. Follow the fantastic shamanic journeys of Ema as she explores otherworldly realms, encountering spirit animals and other teachers who provide her with life-changing guidance and healing. From 1999 to 2011, Ema ventures on a total of 64 journeys, each one chronicled in this book, thanks to taped recordings of her simultaneous narration. In addition to serving as an invaluable resource for students and practitioners of shamanism, psychology, and alternative modalities of therapy, Ema's Odyssey enchants us with its lyrical poetry and unique wisdom, and inspires us with its demonstration of courage, curiosity, persistence, and humility. Perhaps most importantly, we come away with the added assurance that we are not alone, that there are oft-untapped resources we all can access, given the tools and trust in our own experience. AUTHORITATIVE: Sandra Harner cofounded the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) and served as director of the Shamanism and Health Project and codirector of the Shamanic ON SALE 1/7/2014 Knowledge Conservatory. NORTH ATLANTIC BOOKS LARGE FANBASE: Hundreds of thousands have studied with FSS or its graduates, and its TRADE PAPERBACK website averages 60,000 hits per month. The foundation's mailing list has 50,000 recipients in the United States, 5,000 in Canada, and 10,000 in other countries.
