Book Description
This groundbreaking book is the author's firsthand account of his encounters with the Shuar of the Amazon, the Quechua of the Andes, and the Bugis of Indonesia, all of whom use the shamanic technique of psychonavigation--a means of traveling outside the body. Shuar shamans psychonavigate for the purposes of hunting and healing, while the Bugis, among the most renowned sailors in the world, use these techniques to navigate without the aid of charts and compasses. The author explains how these techniques work and how the people of these indigenous cultures psychonavigate to both physical destinations and sources of inner wisdom.
Psychonavigation has been practiced throughout history by highly creative minds such as Beethoven, Jung, and Einstein, and the author describes ways that readers can apply the same techniques to attune with the forces in nature and to attract the inner guidance they seek. Once that guidance is established, psychonavigation can be used for making wise decisions and developing innovative approaches to challenges in all areas of life.
