Shamanism is thought to have existed for 100,000 years-but it did not come from Siberia! It developed on the lost Pacific continent of Mu. If you don't know about Mu, read MU: The First Great Civilization by George Schwimmer PhD. In that Kindle e-book, Dr. Schwimmer not only establishes the existence of Mu but also shows that Mu's sacred teachings were passed on to shamans of Peru.The purest and most profound shamanic healing techniques of Mu were kept secret by the Q'ero mountain shamans of Peru for thousands of years and were only revealed to anthropologist Alberto Villoldo PhD in the 1980s, with the request that he pass these teachings on to Westerners. Dr. Villoldo created The Four Winds Society, where he and others have been teaching these Q'ero shamanic techniques, which are energy based.George Schwimmer PhD, a metaphysical practitioner and writer for more than forty-two years, is one of those who received this ancient shamanic training. He also was given the nine sacred Munay-Ki rites-three of them from Q'ero shamans-which connect him with a lineage of luminous healers. While receiving the rites he perceived and 'heard' both men and women spirit shamans giving him these energy transmissions. This book is his exact account of both what he was taught and his non-physical experiences during his trainings from 2005 to 2007. The teachings Dr. Schwimmer received were not held in Peru, up on mountains, or around campfires. These are formal, structured trainings, designed for Westerners by Dr. Villoldo, and have been given in both North and South America, in Europe, and in the U.K. More than 10,000 persons have participated in these trainings since they were begun.The book details only Dr. Schwimmer's personal experiences during these trainings - it is not a mystical memoir, or an instructional manual, nor academic research - does not delve into the practices of other shamanic lineages, which have different teachings. Should you want to know about Q'ero shamanic energetic healing techniques - such as illuminations, spirit release, soul retrieval, and more - then read this book. You will learn about things which skeptics and modern science say are impossible. READERS' COMMENTS: "If you are looking into the sacred teachings of Shamanism of the Q'ero tradition-- this book is a must read. Events are described so vividly as if to be sitting in those physical places both rejoicing and being engulfed with the thoughts and experiences the author had at the time. Great read!!!" - "Interesting, insightful read. A great learning experience and a means to opening up new horizons. A good introduction to shamanism and spiritual journeying."
