Summary
Acclaimed author, process-oriented therapist, and earlier Jungian analyst Arnold Mindell teaches us how to find the power to make our own choices and control our own lives. Drawing on his experiences with "witch-doctors" and shamans in Africa, Japan, Russia, and India, Mindell leads us on a "death walk" through our worst fears and deepest emotional crises to wake our inner shaman - which he calls our "dreamingbody." Methods for tapping the wisdom hidden in crises free our own internal sorcery for use in our daily lives. These methods enable us to become whole from within and to avoid the phantoms of unrealistic hopes and desires that limit our lives.

Must read for people interested in change
Pleasant voice of narrator. The book is one of the classics in processoriented psychology. It is inviting me to drop linear thinking and dream into world.

Gap in Western culture that shamanism could fill?
Fascinating treatise on the gaps in Western culture that traditional shamanistic cultures could help heal, with reference to Jungian concepts and a lot of (well referenced) borrowing from Carlos Castenada
This feels like something birthed in the sixties but grown up through decades of practical application.
The choice of narrator was brilliant - she sounds like an experienced therapist (the author is male) and has a wonderful sense of authority that comes through even though reading another's words.
This is something that has come along at just the right time for me, and has helped open me up at a time where being closed down is becoming the norm.
I found the concepts challenging (I am more scientifically minded but with an early curiosity about religion in its various forms) and my natural interest in Jungian archetypes and how this relates to an individual's story was a good foundation for expanding this to a more relational, group and embodied viewpoint - Things that are indeed missing from our modern experience, where we search for meaning in Science, and find ourselves further lost in the woods, the more we learn.
This book gives much food for thought as an offset to this thinking, and needs to be listened to, pondered, and have it lap at the shores of your perspective (not sure what that means myself!) to maybe nudge your way of living into awareness.
I have been investigating mindful meditation again recently, and this ties in nicely with the embodied experience. So, if you have an interest here, there is much nourishment to be found here for a hundred meals. I suspect each sitting will bring a different experience of flavours, as is the way.

Nothing about shamanism...
This book is about the author's personal experience with everyday people. It has nothing to do with shamanism, more psychology perhaps. Author encourages to dream, imagine and behave without boundaries, see where that takes you... What a let down.... words "second attention" comes up about 400 times. I could give it 2 stars for being mildly interesting.
