Description
Jung and Shamanism in Dialogue explores the connections and differences between shamanic practices and Jungian psychology, both rooted in a heart-centered approach to life. This book delves into the human psyche's intricate maps, examining topics such as ritual, altered states, and the role of talismans and amulets.
The author, C. Michael Smith, draws on his decades of experience studying and teaching shamanism and Jungian psychology, presenting a unique perspective that combines psychological and spiritual insights. In the new preface, Smith argues that the key to the Jung/shamanism interface lies in the person's capacity to live from the heart, in an Earth-honoring and Nature-attuning way.
This book is a valuable resource for those interested in shamanism and Jungian psychology, offering a thorough and authoritative exploration of the subject. With its clear and accessible writing style, it is an ideal choice for students and scholars alike.
