Encounters with Power: Adventures and Misadventures on the Shamanic Path of Healing

By Jose Luis Stevens

When you leave the beaten path of civilization, you enter the world of primal and mysterious forces and encounter wonders you never thought possible. This is the territory of the shaman. To learn the secrets of shamanism, Jose Stevens has traveled to the remote and wild places where the oldest human spiritual practice still exists in its purest form. With Encounters with Power, this respected teacher invites readers to experience his journeys to meet shamans around the globe and share in the wisdom he received. Join this master storyteller as he recounts his meetings with Spirit in its many guises, including: 


  • India and the Life-Changing Reading--at a turning point in his life, Jose receives a startlingly accurate prophecy
  • Lost in Mexico--a humbling education in the difference between "power" and "control"
  • The Guatemala Test and Initiation--the power of being frugal with judgment and generous with forgiveness
  • Encounters with the Power of Aborigines and Songlines Down Under--sometimes the teacher appears when the student is not ready
  • Journeys for Power with Medicine--visions with the plant spirit of ayahuasca
  • A Magical Andes Wedding--an unforgettable ceremony attended by people, spirits, and the forces of nature
  • The Dolphin Brujos--nature's tricksters teach a sharp lesson in responsibility and humility
  • Encounters with the Dark Shaman--a perilous jungle journey reveals the ferocity of nature and the dangerous side of shamanic practice
  • Nevado Aconcagua: Pilgrimage to a Sacred Mountain--how a holy place can be both a dangerous trial and a source of limitless support

Power is everywhere, encounters with power can happen any time. ‘In my travels to meet these extraordinary healers,’ writes Jose Stevens, I’ve had terrifying, enlightening, and at times hugely entertaining adventures. Power can destroy us or it can raise us up by teaching us and nourishing us. I may not be a master, but I have learned a few things that you may find helpful on your own quest.

Unified Theory of Happiness

By Andrea Polard

The Western world teaches us that happiness comes from achievement—from setting goals and actively pursuing them. Eastern wisdom teaches us that surrender is the key, that we must let go in order to experience the great flow of being that is only available in the present moment. How do we take the best wisdom from both of these approaches, and honor what Dr. Andrea Polard calls “the two wings of happiness” that allow us to truly soar?

Discover Dr. Polard's groundbreaking synthesis of Western thinking and Eastern philosophy with A Unified Theory of Happiness, a warm and personalized guide for the transformation of consciousness that allows personal well-being and fulfillment to flourish. While our lives are full of ups and downs, Dr. Polard teaches us that we don't have to let these ups and downs control our experience of life. A Unified Theory of Happiness teaches you the skills to choose and accept happiness by illuminating:

  • How to navigate the active “Basic Mode” and the non-active “Supreme Mode” of consciousness to respond to life's complexities with flexibility
  • Tools to build ambition, competence, confidence, and connection—essential aspects of reconciling with life's fragility and building an engaging, authentic self
  • Paths to receptivity, tranquility, reliance, and lightheartedness—keys to accessing your natural connection with the whole of being, and realizing your non-dual self
  • The Theory of Elastic Consciousness—a balanced place in perfect accord with an authentically lived life

“Happiness,” says Dr. Polard, “is a complex path that becomes easy only as we walk it.” At last, here is a work that provides a comprehensive understanding of happiness that honors the full spectrum of life's offerings while broadening your experience of its inherent joy.

Wings of Forgiveness

Working with the Angels to Release, Heal, and Transform 

Wings of Forgiveness is a book written for anyone who is ready to release their past and find freedom from fear. Kyle has found through his personal psychic practice and work with the angels that when people are experiencing difficulties, there is one topic that helps click everything else into place - forgiveness. 

Forgiveness is not an easy subject, but it is a necessary focus in spirituality and personal growth. In Wings of Forgiveness , the reader is taken on a journey - not outside of themselves, but within. They are encouraged to see and accept that they are held and cherished by the divine, that there are loving angels by their side, and master souls in heaven that have walked the path before them. 

In order for forgiveness to take place, the healing must begin inside - then it can start to reflect outwards and into the reader's life. Kyle draws on many spiritual texts, including A Course in Miracles and The Gnostic Gospels , making these sacred concepts more accessible for his 21st Century readers. Together with the angels, he will show you how to call in the power of heaven to help you forgive, release all that no longer serves you and experience joy and peace.

If you’re in a relationship, find ways to enhance your love life and your connection with your significant other. Try to find balance in your life.

Regardless, you should review your finances, organize, budget and prioritize. This is also good time to clear some stuff out from your life that you no longer need, detox and cleanse, have a garage sale and lighten your load.

Gemini

Okay Gemini it’s time to think a little bit more about your future. This is especially true if you’ve been feeling stagnant, in any area of your life. Where you want to go? What do you want to be?

Also, this is a time for you to review whether what you’re doing with your life is in line with your philosophy and beliefs. If you can it’s vacation time! If you can’t go on vacation right now then spend some time in nature, go for long walks or a nice road trip. Go to your local library, go to a bookstore or go see a good movie. Take some courses, sign up for a workshop or two, learn something new or enhance something that you already have.
