Shamanic

Alberto Villoldo Alberto has written a number of books that describe the Healing the Light Body methodologies, though I would consider his "Shaman, Healer, Sage" the technical manual for the school.

You can learn more about the The Four Winds Society and the Healing the Light Body School by going to this link.

Alberto also has a framework prayer for Opening Sacred Space which is essential for protection during ceremonies and everyday life. A copy of this prayer and an understanding of what it does can be found at Creating Sacred Space page at the Dying Consciously website.

Alberto has also been instrumental in bringing a series of Sacred Rites back to North America. These rites are geared to assisting us to evolve from Homo sapiens to Homo luminous (Man/Woman of Light) within this generation (as opposed to between generations). There is more extensive documentation regarding these powerful rites at www.munay-ki.org

Michael Harner

Michael is a pioneering anthropologist who brought shamanic practices to the attention of "Western-oriented" people. He is widely acknowledged as the world's foremost authority on experiential and practical shamanism. He started The Foundation For Shamanic Studies and published his seminal book on the subject:

Michael's foundation is directed toward preserving the knowledge and wisdom of the indigenous cultures from around the world. From his decades of field research he has been able to identify a number of core practices that are used by all shaman.

Malidoma Patrice Some

Malidoma is a Dagara tribesman from Burkina Faso, West Africa, who was taken from his home and given a Western education prior to him returning home and becoming initiated as a Dagara elder. He says it was necessary that he had knowledge of both worlds so that he could bring the Dagara wisdom to the West. His work stresses ritual and community, and the loss thereof in Western society. His  chapters on the differences in grieving styles in the West compared to the Dagara is compelling.

James Trofatter

A post from a Frequencies of Brilliance worker, Ana Lucia Maranhao, had the following to say:

Among many shamanic cultures, if you go to a shaman and complain about your physical or mental health, they will ask you four questions:

  1. When did you stop dancing?
  2. When did you stop singing?
  3. When did you give up loving stories?
  4. When did you stop finding peace in the space of sweet silence?

Something to think about.

Waking Down In Mutuality

Saniel Bonder

Saniel spent decades exploring and experiencing ecstatic states of union with Source, but it was not until December 1992 that he experienced the awakening he calls his Second Birth, a state of Being in which Source or Onlyness became permanently established in his Being. He soon realized that his Being was radiating a spontaneous transmission of this condition that affected others in a similar manner. A year and a half later this state when through a further intensification of bodily and cosmic enlightenment in love that he refers to as “the White Heat.” Since awakening, Saniel has dedicated himself to democratizing this embodied, nirvanic aliveness and exploring with others how to create a sane human culture on its foundation. (Paraphrased from Saniel's Bio.)

Saniel has written numerous books, but the ones I would recommend are:

From my experience, Saniel is a visionary and has a profound understanding of the Enlightenment/Awakening process that is happening on the planet at this time. He is what I would call ruthlessly compassionate when working with individuals. His personal website can be accessed from this link.

Bob Valine

Bob has written two books which are compilations of individuals experiences during their second birth.

The following is taken from a bio found at the Amazon.com website.

Saniel Bonder and Linda Groves-Bonder gave me a gift beyond measure. They gave me myself. Before I met them and experienced their work as leaders of Waking Down in Mutuality, I had been living a very full life, successful, relatively happy with family and friends and my career as a teacher. But there was a sense that something was missing, a realness, a grounding in myself and my life. I didn't know what that was. I had been with a number of spiritual teachers and communities seeking the wholeness, the completeness they promised. I had many wonderful experiences, "awakenings," shifts into a sense of myself as all that is, as oneness, as love. And I was very grateful, but it wasn't enough. Then I met Saniel and Linda and something totally different, unexpected, and mysterious happened. Their love, compassion, and humanity helped me find my way into my body, my life, my heart in a way that I didn't know was possible.

Matrix Energetics

Richard Bartlett Richard is an innovator when it comes to bringing new healing modalities and technologies onto the planet. His ability to step aside of himself allows him to experience levels of reality that most people would think of a fantastical and imaginary. It is this very ability to enter those states that allows him to perform what would be considered miracles. Here are a few words from his bio that can be found his website:

In 1996 my life took a new and surprising turn. While attending Bastyr University of Naturopathic medicine, and working full time in my day job as a chiropractor, I experienced a life changing event which redirected the entire course of my clinical experience. Call it a mystical occurrence, spiritual vision, outright hallucination, or as Dr. Jim Parker called it, the experience of being ' naturally right', suddenly the act of lightly touching a patient with focused intent created dramatic, often startling changes.

He has written two books to date and has a wonderful CD package:

Melissa Joy Jonsson is President of Matrix Energetics International and has been teaching Matrix Energetics transformational seminars to people from all over the world since 2008. She is also the founder and instructor of the ‘M-Joy Of Being’ seminar series dedicated to practical personal empowerment for extraordinary living. ‘M-Joy Of Being’ is a unifying movement in global consciousness to facilitate an integration and synthesis of the divine feminine and divine masculine inherent in everyone. ‘M-Joy of Being’ is a special course for exploring and expanding heart-centered awareness, personal power, letting go, trust, and the awesome power of choice, noticed through the experience of being women.
