5.0 out of 5 stars intense, comprehensive translation of one shamanic paradigm, September 19, 1999

By 

(C.J.) Cynthia Anderson "Knowledge into Action!" (Phoenix, Arizona) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Song of the Deer: The Great Sun Dance Journey of the Soul with Other (Paperback)

One shamanic paradigm being utilized internationally, written with mainstream symbology, applications and tools designed to be used for any aspect of wounding, armoring, healing of patterns, self-sabotage and empowerment.

"Are you for sale?" When I read these words, my soul wrenched itself into all the times I had sold pieces of myself to fit in, belong, conform and be approved of, by every relationship, professional experience, authority figure/tyrant, and group I ever wanted to be a part of. The need to survive as a child, to be "independent" as an adult, to not become "outcast" by family, peers, friends and society resulted in layers upon layers of masks, until I lost my ability to find what was real and true for my soul to survive.

"I want to be one-hearted... I am not a person - I AM a magnetic attracting thought. I AM the best I have ever been." In the darkness of the many losses I have been suffering though, these words and those that surrounding them, provided to me a light of hope with concrete tools. I was able to use them to aid me to move from my despair and helplessness, to significant changes that added to my will to live beyond just survival.

"How does my soul stalk the dream like a jaguar, through my physical incarnation of this spirit personality? How does my birth sign, align with my totem animal? How can I discern between my Pretender and Commander inner voices? How can I work with my "doubt shout"? How can I map the patterns of the cycles within my life to find the infinity movement, which causes me to repeat what doesn't (and does) work, and bring me what my soul is calling for? What about the ability and effects of aligning with the food I eat, the plants, animals, stones and elements to hear their voices and messages?"

In this book, I found a roadmap to assist me to learn how to begin to erase my personal history so I could begin to choose the screenplay I desired to live. I learned how to bring new life, by meeting death as an ally, advisor and companion, to stop the world to make my choices, control my dreams and most importantly of all, to assume personal authority by taking responsibility to face squarely how it is I chose to be different in creating my Sun Dance for my soul's "NOW" experience.

I am grateful to this author for writing these resources in language and stories which I have been able to understand and use effectively to finding and taking back my natural self, to dig through my inner mud to find the gold of what it is I am mean to be - for ME!

This review is from: Song of the Deer: The Great Sun Dance Journey of the Soul with Other (Paperback)

Seasoned spiritual searchers and beginners alike will find this book takes them on deeper and deeper levels of understandings. You gain absolute clarity and insight into yourself and how you act and relate in the world. There is just something about this book..that makes those lightbulbs in your head click ON. This is a book you will want to reference and read many times over. Each time I have re-read it I gain more and more insight from it! Teaches the Laws of Creation, who we are and the developement of our character, our alignment with nature, AND how to break out of our dark patterns that make us unhappy and how to turn those into light patterns of power! I have read many self help books and I have NEVER discovered any teachings as profound as these. There is enough information condensed into this book to cover 15 books! If you never buy another book; BUY THIS ONE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Food for the Soul, June 18, 2000

Black Cave Dreamer (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Song of the Deer: The Great Sun Dance Journey of the Soul with Other (Paperback)

The sacred teachings, which are shared within these covers, definitely feed the soul. If you've never been able to work intimately with the medicine wheel, this book will guide you by the hand. Each time I reread this book, a new 'Aha!' appears ~ I'm reclaiming pieces of my "self" that I wasn't aware were missing! Wonderful addition to everyone's home library.
