Book Description
We've largely forgotten our ancient Celtic chakra heritage, indeed some people think there is no concept of chakras in the western tradition but this is not the case. The chakras are found throughout the mystery traditions all over the world, well known to our hunter-gather ancestors and the spirit keepers who led them. They are hidden deep in the ancient stories and myths of Britain. This book leads you through the lore of Arianrhod and her Spinning Towers, the riddling Gaelic poem The Cauldrons of Poesy, the rainbow bridge of Brighid and the ways and caers of the ancient British reindeer goddess, Elen of the Ways. There are journeys, meditations and exercises to help you get the feel of the Celtic chakra system into your bones.

Book Description
Shaman, artist and author Elen Sentier writes, "I was first taught the trees of the goddess as a child. The old ones from the village would tell us about the tree, how it lives, what creatures it lives with, its whole environment. They would tell us stories then we would go to the tree and sit with it, listen to what it had to show and tell us. Later, we would ask it for a piece of its wood to make its spirit- home. These were rituals but all so natural and normal they were just a part of life and living for me as I grew up. TREES OF THE GODDESS will help you find your way of doing this."

Finding Elen

Pages : 218

Book Description
This is a remarkable quest for the elusive deer goddess led by Caroline Wise with contributions from Caitlin Matthews, Andrew Collins and others. With its rich harvest of words and ideas, it brings the figure of Elen into focus more than ever before. And what a dazzling figure she is; part goddess, part dream, part saint, a green lady and a water nymph, primordial mother and patroness of deer, and guardian of the Old Straight Tracks and solar alignments. Her name is remembered even in healing plants. If this book does nothing more (and it will surely do much more) it will encourage people to dig deeper into the loam of tradition to follow the footsteps of the divine Elen of the Ways. Elen is as real as the roads named after her, as solid as the ancient paths that carry her presence and story across vast tracts of Britain and the European continent and beyond. What an intriguing and exhilarating journey it is.

The Cauldron and the Drum

Languages : en
Pages : 226

Book Description
Celtic shamanism (aka European shamanism) is an ancient spiritual tradition whose origin predates the arrival of Christianity in northern Europe. One of the central beliefs of Celtic shamanism is that the spirituality you seek is inside you. In this groundbreaking book, Rhonda McCrimmon explains the origin and practices of Celtic shamanism, and teaches readers about the three energetic cauldrons and how to work with them. According to over a thousand years of Celtic tradition, the root of a person's physical, spiritual and emotional health comes from the three Cauldron Power Centers found in the energetic body. The Celts believed a person must activate, nurture, and maintain all three cauldrons to live a whole, connected, meaningful life. The Cauldron of Warming contains the innate knowledge which is our birthright. Childhood trauma can cause this cauldron to drain, leaving us feeling anxious and fearful. The Cauldron of Motion is on its side at birth and fills when we experience deep grief or joy. A filled Cauldron of Motion helps us to love and nurture, while an empty one can foster boundary issues and allow us to be easily drained by the emotions of others. The Cauldron of Wisdom is upside down at birth and is righted when we develop our spiritual gifts and connect with nature. As we right this cauldron, we receive the divine knowledge of the ancient Celts. In this book you will learn how to bring your energetic cauldrons into balance, in addition to exploring the tradition of Celtic fire festivals and the sacred practice of saining. Regardless of your ancestral roots, Celtic Shaman Rhonda McCrimmon invites you to partake of this ancient wisdom and begin your journey down the shaman's path.

Inner Paths to Outer Space

Author: Rick Strassman
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594779996
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 317

Book Description
An investigation into experiences of other realms of existence and contact with otherworldly beings • Examines how contact with alien life-forms can be obtained through the “inner space” dimensions of our minds • Presents evidence that other worlds experienced through consciousness-altering technologies are often as real as those perceived with our five senses • Correlates science fiction’s imaginal realms with psychedelic research For thousands of years, voyagers of inner space--spiritual seekers, shamans, and psychoactive drug users--have returned from their inner imaginal travels reporting encounters with alien intelligences. Inner Paths to Outer Space presents an innovative examination of how we can reach these other dimensions of existence and contact otherworldly beings. Based on their more than 60 combined years of research into the function of the brain, the authors reveal how psychoactive substances such as DMT allow the brain to bypass our five basic senses to unlock a multidimensional realm of existence where otherworldly communication occurs. They contend that our centuries-old search for alien life-forms has been misdirected and that the alien worlds reflected in visionary science fiction actually mirror the inner space world of our minds. The authors show that these “alien” worlds encountered through altered states of human awareness, either through the use of psychedelics or other methods, possess a sense of reality as great as, or greater than, those of the ordinary awareness perceived by our five senses.
