Alberto Villoldo, a classically trained medical anthro-
pologist, has studied shamanic healing techniques
among the descendants of the ancient Inkas for more
than twenty years. In Shaman, Healer, Sage, he draws on
his vast body of knowledge to create a practical and
revolutionary program based on the traditional healing
methods used by these shamans—methods that, until
now, have been inaccessible to most of the world.
Villoldo explains that central to shamanic healing
is the concept of the Luminous Energy Field that is
believed to surround our material bodies. His book
teaches us to see and influence the imprints that dis-
ease leaves on this field and thereby to heal ourselves
and others, as well as prevent illness.
Villoldo weaves wonderful teaching stories
throughout about the healing power of the energy
medicine of the Americas. In one story, Villoldo
comes down with pneumonia while in Peru. When
antibiotics fail to control the infection, his mentor, the
shaman Don Antonio, uses the process of Illumina-
tion to remove the toxins that had invaded Villoldo s
body. These same shamanic techniques later allowed
Villoldo to remove stagnant energy from a young
woman whose marriage was suffering due to her past
experience with abandonment. With the aid of
shamanic work, the woman regained her trust in oth-
ers, and her marriage was revitalized.
This book is rich with ancient wisdom and
contemporary techniques we can use to help ourselves
and others, as well as with the more advanced methods
of master shamans, which are being brought to a wide
audience for the first time. Vissza
