SHAMANIC CREATIVITY Evelyn C Rysdyk

Evelyn is an important author because she really knows what she is writing about and her teachings are based on deep knowledge and learning. Her previous books include The Norse Shaman, and this title carries quotes by contemporary masters like Sandra Ingerman and Itzhak Beery. It’s full of simple exercises influenced by shamanism that will enhance our creative energy. She’s not trying to make us shamans, but instead she is trying to make us think and act differently to help us break through in various ways, by boosting our right brain, engaging in rituals and reprogramming the subconscious. Many exercises come close to what we might call magic in the West – it’s fascinating to consider the relationship between them. The whole book feels like an approachable and encouraging way to reinvigorate your life.
