Chamalu: Shamanic Way of the Heart is a masterpiece! While the information is not new, Espinoza presents the ancient truths in their simplicity and uncolored light. If you are tired of too much intellectualization, then this is a good book for you!

Although a quick read, this was a wonderful book which I will treasure for a very long time. I will need to read this over and again. The messages are simple but devastatingly effective.

I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone

The teachings of Chamalu should be embraced by all. If only we could all view and live our lives that simply, honestly and freely; everyone would live, learn, 'love' and breathe a hell of a lot easier than we do or try to think we do, right here and right now!

Chamalu is a short book and appears at first glance to be rather simplistic. Do NOT be misled by appearances. This book is actually a very succinct and easy to digest explanation of some important aspects of the Inka spiritual tradition. I highly recommend this book to anyone on a path of spiritual exploration or discovery. The teachings in this book are directly relevant to consensus reality and I find it very useful to re-read portions of the book when I encounter challenging situations in everyday life.

In this time of growing and unfolding consciousness there are many writings regarding how to be. Few teach how to connect with all that is in such a powerful and moving way as Chamalu'. A beautiful masterpiece of working from the heart.

The heart-energy in this book is very solid and deep. Many people looking for 'profound' wisdom might read this book and miss that they are indeed, in this simple and clear speaking, reading deep wisdom.

However, as good as this book is, Chamlu's other book here is much better, you should read that one instead. Gate of Paradise: Secrets of Andean Shamanism

This book covers the training of a North American being trained by a Shaman in the Andes. It is a good accounting of what is required in the journey to become a shaman.

It would be hard not to like Chamalu! Although his material is consistent with that of others (e.g., John Perkins), it is refreshing in it's simplicity. Although at times the concepts seem too general to be applied in a practical sense, it is certainly worthy of a quick read and a possible re-read.

This book truly captures the essence of Shamanism. A must read!

I loved this book! To use almost as a guidebook for everyday life. What an eye opener, life looks so good after this book.
