Do shamans believe in their powers? What exactly is trance? What can we learn from indigenous healing practices?</p><p>Traveling from Indonesia to the Colombian Amazon, living with shamans and observing music, drug use, and indigenous curing ceremonies, anthropologist Manvir Singh journeys into one of the most mysterious religious traditions. Fundamentally, shamans are specialists who use altered states to engage with unseen realms and provide services like healing and divination. As Singh shows, shamanisms appeal stems from its psychological resonance. Its essence is spiritual transformation: a specialist uses initiations, deprivation, and non-ordinary states to seemingly become a different kind of human, one possessed of powers to cure, prophesy, and otherwise tame lifes uncertainties.</p><p>Following a fascinating cast of characters, Singh reveals the complexities and vicissitudes of a timeless, always relevant, and ubiquitous phenomenon. He argues that biomedicine can learn from shamanic practices and that psychedelic enthusiasts completely misrepresent history. He also shows that shamanic traditions will forever re-emerge and that by contemplating humanitys oldest spiritual practice, we come to better understand ourselves, our history, and our future.</p>...6377860Shamanism254353https://www.gandhi.com.mx/shamanism-9780593537558/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6226160/image.jpg?v=638607609657170000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259780593537558_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_<p><strong>From a brilliant, young, Harvard-trained anthropologist and contributorto The New Yorker comes a fascinating investigation into the spiritualpractice of shamanism, from its beginnings to the present moment, forreaders disaffected with organized religion who seek a more personalapproach to spirituality.</strong></p><p>Is shamanism informed by ancient, profound knowledge about our true spirituality,or is the religious practice a relic of a backward era, superstitioussavagery produced by crafty showmen to exploit naive credulity?
