Kelley Harrell’s Gift of the Dreamtime takes us on a spiritual journey–hers, but maybe yours, too–to investigate the psychological trauma and emotional roadblocks that she traces back to her childhood and to past lifetimes.  

 
In a remarkable book that explores her own past as an incest survivor,  her bouts with depression, and crippling inability to pursue her dreams, the author uses shamanic practices rooted in Native American, Celtic, and Aboriginal culture.  She combines her personal journey with instructions for similar meditations  to help the injured child in all of us look at the hurt, understand it in a spiritual context, and forgive both ourselves and others.

“Through engaging with the author’s inner worlds and reading the guidelines for shamanic journeying that follow, readers are awakened to ancient tools for creating healing in their own lives.”~

The Shamanic Guide to Death and Dying

The Shamanic Guide to Death and Dying:
Meditations, Exercises, Rituals, and Ceremonies

Author:  Kristin Madden
Trade Paperback, 6×9, 326 pages
Publisher: Spilled Candy Publications
Publish Price: $19.95 ISBN 978-1-892718-55-6

A new understanding of Life, Death, and Reality awaits  as  you  journey with a shamanic deathwalker trained to  guide  the  dead  to  the  next  world.

This  revised  and  expanded  handbook  will  bring  comfort to loved ones mourning their dead,  illustrate  the immortality of the soul, and  transform  your  views of death.   Rituals, exercises, meditations, and ceremonies are included to help release the pain of grief, move past the fear of death, honor the passing of a beloved pet,  communicate with loved ones, and more.

“This book is far more than a guide to the process of dying; it is also a guide to living. We are reminded, gently and with compassion, that that death is not an end but a more of a ‘change of address.’

“The Shamanic Guide  is filled with useful meditations on such things as how to contact someone who has died, how to access information about your past lives, and how to cope with grief in a society that is consistently at a loss when confronted with negative emotions. There is clear, practical information about how to prepare for your own death.” — Facing North
