Allow her to inspire you to transform the mundane into the sacred and open your heart to the enduring beauty that unites all that is. The journey to awaken the marvelous change-maker you were born to be starts now!" --Evelyn C. Rysdyk, author of Spirit Walking: A Course in Shamanic Power and A Spirit Walker's Guide to Shamanic Tools "The practices, journeys, and insights in Walking in Light offer a step-by-step guide that will help you refine your soul's journey, deepen your relationship with spirit and nature, and consciously participate with the creative force of life. Sandra shares brilliantly, in a down-to-earth and detailed manner, how we can nurture our heartfelt longings and support positive planetary change during these evolving times. This is a master guidebook!" --Llyn Roberts, MA, award-winning author of Shapeshifting into Higher Consciousness and Shamanic Reiki(with Robert Levy) "In Walking in Light, Sandra Ingerman, calling herself a spiritual explorer, leads us to explore our own inner worlds to seek our spiritual identities. From her own life experiences and shamanic practice, she tells us she has 'fine-tuned' her work and teaching as she continues to share the solid advice and instruction that her students have come to expect. Her message to all of us, whether seasoned shamanic practitioners or newcomers, is to fine-tune our own spiritual paths, to not put our shamanic practice 'in a box, ' but to experiment in order to keep it alive, relevant, and vital." --Tom Cowan, author of Fire in the Head, Shamanism As a Spiritual Practice for Daily Life and Yearning for the Wind "Once again Sandra Ingerman has written a superb, highly practical, and comprehensive book about practicing the shamanic way of life--and the best part of all, with simplicity and kindness. Here Sandra demonstrates the wisdom gained from many years of dedicated hard work walking her own sometimes very challenging shamanic path. What I most appreciated is that throughout the book she takes a non-rigid, flexible approach, emphasizing creativity and living from the heart. It is as if she is taking you by the hand and guiding you personally through each step and consideration in the process. If there were ever an excellent basic manual to shamanic practice, this would be it." --Jose Luis Stevens, PhD, author of Awaken the Inner Shaman, The Power Path, and Secrets of Shamanism. "Sandra Ingerman is a modern medicine woman whose book Walking in Light has brought together more than 30 years of her teaching and practice in an ancient yet curiously immediate spiritual tradition called shamanism. Among the indigenous peoples, it was always understood that each new generation had the responsibility to perpetuate and refresh a continuously recreated body of wisdom and technique, even adding to and changing the accumulating treasure of the shamanic tradition across time . . . for it was always in this way that it remained vital and meaningful to those who walked the shaman's path. Sandra Ingerman has done just this, and she is to be commended for creating very good medicine indeed. I love this book!" --Hank Wesselman, PhD, anthropologist and author of eight books on shamanism including The Bowl of Light, the award-winning Awakening to the Spirit World (with Sandra Ingerman), and the Spiritwalker trilogy "Walking in Light by Sandra Ingerman is more than just a deeper understanding of the work of a shaman. It's an everyday guide to help you tap into your inner wisdom, integrate the shamanic practices, and activate the power of love within. This book will not only help beginners of the shamanic way but also people who have been working with these practices for a while." --Gary Quinn, intuitive life coach and bestselling author of May the Angels Be With You and The Yes Frequency "Awaken with Sandra Ingerman's new book and walk into the light of your destiny. Sandra will take you by the hand and help reveal your inner self in order to find and achieve your true call and vision for the future. See how following the shamanic life leads you to a sense of inner peace, and triggers the creation of your mind to put into action all of these deep thoughts buried within. We all need to become Peace in Action in order to complete the sentence 'I think, therefore I am' with 'therefore I do!' It's in the doing that our being finds the true meaning of its existence. Walking in Light will indeed empower you and reveal the path to your inner and outer world." --Emmanuel Itier, director/producer of the award-winning documentary Femme and CEO of Wonderland Entertainment
