Internationally renowned shamanic teacher and bestselling author Alberto Villoldo presents a brand new, insightful guide to the shamanic teachings of the Andean medicine wheel.Shamanism is the exercise of personal power, born of knowledge, with the goal of service to all beings. The teachings of the medicine wheel – a spiritual technology for healing – have existed for millennia in different forms throughout the world. The medicine wheel eventually brings you to the wisdom wheel, a subtle process for personal and planetary transformation, necessary for when the world is facing times of crisis that require extraordinary interventions.In this book, you will learn to work with the wisdom wheel and its four ‘powers’, each of which is associated with an archetypal animal and a sacred journey – the serpent, the journey of the healer; the jaguar, the journey beyond death; the hummingbird, the way of joyous wisdom; and the eagle, the transcending power. Every conquest in the wisdom wheel frees you from a fate predetermined by your genetics and your upbringing – a fate that blocks you from achieving your destiny as homo luminous, the new species of human that can live harmoniously with the Earth and with one another. As you make your way through the wisdom wheel you will become an Earthkeeper, a steward of all life. Your health and relationships will flourish as you join a sacred journey shared by enlightened humans around the globe – the new story that we are crafting for all the Earth’s inhabitants.

Included in this book are the wisdom teachings that have been protected by secret societies of Eartkeepers, the medicine men and women of the Americas. The four insights state that all of creation- humans, whales, and even stars- is made from light manifested through the power of intention. The Earthkeepers used the insights to heal disease, eliminate emotional suffering, and even grow new bodies that age and heal differently. The first insight teaches you how to shed the emotional wounds from your past in the same way that a snake sheds her skin: all at once. It teaches you that you aren't your story or your history, but the hero of your own life. The second insight instructs you how to move beyond fear and anger to live and practice grace. The third insight shows you how to step outside of time and into infinity, to fix things before they're born and to heal destiny. And the fourth insight details how to dream the world into being by waking up from the cultural trance that you've been educated into in order to create joy, abundance, and meaning in your life.

Here too, he explores the subject of life beyond death, navigating this unseen world with the knowledge of a scientist and the wisdom of a shamanic healer. Classically trained as a medical anthropologist and a foremost teacher of the shamanic techniques of the Inkas, among whose descendants he has studied for more than twenty-five years, Villoldo weaves together a host of illuminating stories and exercises to provide an accessible, practical, and revolutionary programme of healing.
