Riassunto

One woman’s mystical path through grief into renewal, expanded awareness, and discovery of her own healing capabilities

· Offers a lens into a wide variety of wisdomkeeping traditions and alternative healing paradigms throughout the Americas and Europe

· Shows how the mystical path enables us to find renewal in times of profound loss

· Details the author’s awakening to the energies of the cosmos, which can guide us toward our destiny, balanced between our soul’s dark and light energies

How do you find renewal after loss, especially the loss of a child? How do you find purpose and courage when loss is your constant teacher?

After weeks of profound grief following the loss of her young daughter, Sandra Corcoran found herself inexplicably at a life-changing workshop on indigenous teachings and energy healing. With the first glimpse of the light that called her to the workshop, Corcoran found herself beginning a 30-year metaphysical journey within, initially to heal her grief but eventually leading her from the darkness into the light of her own soul’s evolution.

Working with Native elders and indigenous wisdomkeepers throughout North, Central, and South America, Corcoran opened her heart to the immensity of the living energies of the cosmos and discovered her shamanistic gifts as an intuitive counselor, dreamtime decoder, and facilitator for others’ self-healing. As she learned to discern these living energies and work with them, she also discovered the middle path between the soul’s dark and luminous energies, striking the balance that allows us to fulfill our destiny.

Sharing the core teachings of her many indigenous and esoteric mentors, including lessons in synchronicity, metaphysics, the extraordinary power of the heart, multi-dimensional realms, and energy healing, Corcoran leads readers on an adventure across continents through birth, death, ceremony, and ritual to renewal and the frontiers of expanded consciousness. She shows that no matter how far outside of the familiar we are led, we are guided back to ourselves and offered another opportunity to embrace our world and, ultimately, find our place in it.

Recensione:

“Sandra Corcoran has written a remarkable account of her studies and practice of shamanic counseling. I have had personal contact with two of her teachers, Twylah Nitsch and Oh Shinnah, and she couldn’t have found better guides. Shamanic Awakening: My Journey between the Dark and the Daylight is filled with fantastic stories into the nonordinary realms, but recent investigation of dreams and other altered states of consciousness lend credibility to her accounts. The author’s work is rooted in indigenous traditions and rituals that contain the wisdom and insight so badly needed to help the torn culture of our time.” (Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Saybrook University and coauthor of Demystifying)

“We live in a time in which increasing numbers of Western spiritual seekers are turning toward non-Western spiritual traditions in search of meaning and transcendence. Sandra Corcoran’s book Shamanic Awakening is an eloquently written and engaging personal narrative that unfolds in a way to inspire us all.” (Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., anthropologist and coauthor of Awakening to the Spirit World)

“Shamanic Awakening draws you in--a magnet force of symbols, story, and signs. Sandra Corcoran’s elegant narrative coils around your heart and awakens you to your energy source--love. Her wisdom births an alternative knowing, alternative dimensions, and multi-universes to explore. The reader develops new eyes, a new heart, and a knowing mind. Experiencing Sandra’s book, the reader is left with confirmation that the human mind is sourced far beyond the brain. And not in a place, but in many dimensions. Read Sandra’s book and you will comprehend the workings of the quantum mind. And there’s more. If you follow her winding path, you may be led home.” (Rebecca Hardcastle Wright, Ph.D., author of Exoconsciousness: Your 21st Century Mind)

“Sandy Corcoran’s book represents a very rich and honest account of her experiences with North American shamans, spiritual teachers from Central America, and Andean spiritual masters. . . . In my opinion, Sandy’s book is written in a ‘panamerican’ context, such that her story can be of great help to many spiritual seekers of this continent who are working with the elements that she describes in her book, from her personal experiences.” (Juan Victor Nuñez del Prado Bejar, former professor of anthropology at the University of Cusco,)

“In this remarkable book, Sandra Corcoran gifts us with her personal, magical journey of awakening to shamanism with exceptional skill and candor. Ever cognizant and respectful of the Mystery, she generously includes details of ceremonies and teachings from the many extraordinary teachers that influenced and catalyzed her most profound and formative experiences. A great storyteller, she offers thoroughness and detail in relating her experience.” (Nicki Scully, founder of Shamanic Journeys, Ltd., author of Planetary Healing: Spirit Medicine for G)

“Impeccably honest, deeply personal, and sparkling with jewels of wisdom, Shamanic Awakening is not only the story of one woman’s remarkable spiritual journey but also an astute introduction into the various practices of shamanism. . . . From the moment I began reading, until I finished the last sentence several hours later, I was unable to put this book down.” (Rosemary Gladstar, cofounder of Sage Mountain Herbs, author of Herbal Healing for Women, and coedito)
