The Heart of the Shaman

The Heart of the Shaman will transport you into the mystical realm of the shaman, enriched with stories, dreams, and venerable rites. In this enlightening book, Alberto Villoldo delves into the dream and time-travel techniques practiced by the medicine men and women of the Andes and Amazon. These practices transformed his understanding of the world, and he shares their ancient wisdom that centers around the sacred dream—a fleeting yet profound vision that can reveal our purpose and our place in the cosmos.

This book offers practical guidance on how to cultivate your own sacred dream, shaping a destiny marked by bravery and vision. You are called to walk the path of the luminous warrior, to escape the grip of the three nightmares that bind you—fears surrounding love, death, and safety—and to turn them into experiences of timeless freedom, known as the Primordial Light. Through shamanic creativity, you can foster healing and beauty, and bring forth a new reality.

By transforming your dreams and embracing the constant evolution of life, acknowledging your mortality, and realizing that only you can liberate yourself from fear, you can bring order to chaos and allow beauty to flourish.

“Awaken from the sleep you’ve been living in, and dream with eyes wide open, so that all the possibilities of the future become accessible to you.”
