Book Description

December 1, 1997
Joseph Rael, of Pueblo and Southern Ute descent, shares visionary experiences about the ceremonies of his people.

He writes of the various aspects of ceremony -- sounds, chanting and song, fasting and sweatlodge purification, the vision quest, storytelling, and dancing -- and shows how each of these provides a connection with spirit.

Rael shows how readers can construct powerful ceremonies for themselves, ceremonies that bring inspiration and insight, that help one grow into new states of being.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shimmering Powerhouse, June 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ceremonies of the Living Spirit (Paperback)
This book is right up there with Being and Vibration and Sound: Native Teachings and Visionary Art of Joseph Rael in terms of the depth of being that Joseph is able to convey. If you have an interest in Native American studies, mysticism, the nature of reality, etc. then you will find few other authors who can speak to your heart in the same way that Joseph can. This book conveys a mystical language rooted in Josephs mystical experiences with a background in the very high and sacred language of the Tiwa. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deeper understanding of ceremonial ways, October 31, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ceremonies of the Living Spirit (Paperback)
Here's another Beauty by Joseph Rael. My teacher has a wonderful capacity to write as if he were having a 'teaching day' with you personally. You can hear him speaking through the pages.

This little book is chock-full of clear explanation of the nature of ceremony and why we find ourselves, in this harsh century and demanding urbanized time, craving deeper understanding and ceremony in our lives. The pages unfold appetizing ideas and a wealth of chants to use to begin to more deeply understand how we can interact with our lives and everything in them. Beautiful Painted Arrow has given us another gem!
