The words we use matter. When most people think of the word shaman they picture a bare-chested man wearing feathers and leather moccasins moving around a blazing fire performing incantations and strange rituals. Well, at least that’s what I thought a shaman once meant.Actually shaman is a term for vibrational arc or having the ability to see things others might not. And the truth is that anyone can be a shaman and learn how to better understand and cope with the world around us. In this episode of Dream Power Radio we talk about shamanism in today’s times with Francis Rico, a modern day shaman who’s taught about indigenous practices for years and has written about them in the books A Shaman’s Guide to Deep Beauty and the upcoming Becoming Feral.

The ancient Toltec city of Teotihuacan in Mexico is much more than an archeological wonder.  For thousands of years, pilgrims have journeyed through Teo’s sacred temples and plazas and ascended the Pyramids of the Moon and the Sun to discover what is real, authentic and true; to experience the deepest aspect of themselves; and by “dreaming heaven,” to actualize heaven on earth. Once among the largest cities in the world, a pre-Columbian center of craft and commerce with a multi-cultural population of more than 200,000 Toltec, Zapotec, and Maya people, Teotihuacan’s most enduring legacy is as a spiritual center—the oldest mystery school in the Western Hemisphere—it’s name translating as “where Man becomes God.” Dreaming Heaven (Hay House/Agape Media, Sept, 2013) is an unprecedented experience—an intimate, mysterious and illuminating journey through the magical plazas and temples of Teo led by Naguals (guides), both seen and unseen. It allows the reader to walk the paths along with the Naguals to uncover his or her own true pathway…to discover who he or she is at the very core—unburdened by the conscious and unconscious obstacles that prevent full peace and self-actualization. And you—as the reader--will share that journey with an unforgettable group of people, including authors Gini Gentry, Lee McCormick, Francis Rico and Kelly Sullivan Walden.

Gini Gentry Known as “The Nagual Woman”, Gini Gentry became the female spiritual leader and guardian of the Toltec wisdom traditions in the ‘90's. While her teachings are anchored in a mastery of ancient Toltec wisdom, her great strength has been her ability to synthesize the universal truths of all sacred traditions, and to approach and interpret these truths from the female perspective of the Great Mystery. Gini's unique voice has inspired thousands of spiritual seekers to discover the modern-day relevance of the idea of awakening. To purchase Dreaming Heaven from Amazon, click here.
