JONATHAN HAMMONDThe Shaman's Mind: Huna Wisdom Change Your Life
In The Shaman’s Mind: Huna Wisdom to Change
Your Life, Jonathan Hammond brings the magical spectrum of infinite possibilities, unseen truths, alternative realities, and spiritual support to having a shaman’s mind. He shows the reader how to align and transform the mind in order to see the world through the clear lenses of the indigenous healers throughout the ages. There is no more practical or effective system to guide us into the mind of the shaman than Huna, the esoteric and spiritual philosophy which originated in the heart of Polynesia and is the foundation of many of the shamanic traditions of Hawaii. Although Hawaiian metaphysics, or Huna, may seem quite geographically specific and rather esoteric, it is a practical philosophy which offers us a universal shamanic paradigm that is cross-culturally related to every indigenous spiritual tradition. It is also surprisingly inclusive of many tenets of contemporary psychology, holistic health, and even the quantum sciences. Huna offers a framework for successful living that has resonance far beyond the South Pacific. Jonathan’s teachings are based upon his workshops presented at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in New York state. While the style of The Shaman’s Mind is both enjoyable and inspirational, it is also designed to provoke and expand the reader’s mind into new ways of seeing ourselves and the world. It asks us to actively engage in what we are reading, to be self-reflective, to start to make substantive changes in our lives as we work through each of the experiential practices that are provided throughout the book. |
