According to the extraordinary healers described in this book, healing is not merely the alleviation of symptoms but entails a transformation of one's relationship to life. Holger Kalweit, a German ethnologist, has studied shamanism in Hawaii, the American southwest, Mexico, and Tibet. Kalweit surveys the shamans' training methods and consciousness - their rituals and ceremonies, their heroic feasts and magical powers, their psychological insights and spiritual wisdom.
