About the Author
Alberto Villoldo
Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D., was born in Cuba, where he was exposed to Afro-Indian healing traditions at an early age. While pursuing his doctorial studies in psychology and medical anthropology, he travelled throughout the Amazon and the Andes, researching Native American healing techniques. He later directed the Biological Self-Regulation Laboratory at San Francisco State University, where he investigated mind-body medicine and the neuro-physiology of healing. He founded and directs the Energy Medicine School at the Four Winds Society, and teaches energy medicine to thousands of nurses and physicians, psychotherapists and lay persons every year. He is an internationally recognized leader in the field of alternative medicine and shamanic studies, and has written ten other books. He lives in Los Angeles.

Customer Reviews

Wow - a must read
There are very few books that I consider a must read but this is one of them. Villoldo's insights are always worth reading and this book is no exception. I've highlighted paragraphs on most pages and keep going back to the book. Its main areas of focus are the Chakras and the aura (what he calls the Luminous Field). The section on the chakras is worth the price of the book on its own.

As an aside, it is fascinating to realise that the Inca Shaman were using Chakras at the same time that they were being used on the other side of the world, in India, although it is the latter that has received most coverage.

I bought this book at the same time as his latest book, Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval. Having read them both now, I'd recommend that you read Shaman, Healer Sage first as, although not essential, it will help your understanding of the other book.

Buy, buy, buy, you wont be disappointed.
