Alberto Villoldo Books

Legends say that before there was time, before there was language, there were the sacred symbols. The Medicine Wheel, the Curse, the Eagle, the Jaguar, and others spoke to us intimately. In their countless manifestations, they offered hope, expressed caution, illuminated opportunity, inspired creation, courted power, and shared knowledge. The sacred symbols belong to the realm of archetypes and the collective unconscious, the spiritual common ground shared by peoples modern and ancient. Now, three master teachers and healers—Alberto Villoldo, Colette Baron-Reid, and Marcela Lobos—have brought their wisdom and talents together to offer a doorway into the realm of the sacred symbols with the Mystical Shaman Oracle. When you consult the oracle, you summon power and insight that can help you understand the present, heal the past, and influence the course of your future. We can become our own prophets and visionaries. We can converse directly with Spirit, dialogue with the forces of nature, speak with the great archetypes—the ancient gods—without intermediaries. No one needs to stand between the Creator and you, or between you and the great powers of nature.

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.

Today, our minds, emotions, relationships, and bodies often feel out of balance, a reality we tend to overlook until faced with significant challenges like health issues, broken relationships, or loss. While we may seek temporary relief through self-help resources or experts, this fragmented approach to health is insufficient. True healing requires a return to the ancient wisdom of shamans: One Spirit Medicine. This approach identifies a singular ailment—alienation from our feelings, bodies, the Earth, and Spirit—and offers one cure: the experience of primeval Oneness. This state restores inner harmony and aids recovery from all ailments, regardless of their origins. Drawing on over 25 years of experience as a medical anthropologist and his own healing journey, Alberto Villoldo introduces this transformative practice, rooted in the healing methods of our Paleolithic ancestors and supported by modern neuroscience. He guides us in detoxifying the brain and gut, switching off cellular “death clocks,” and engaging with our luminous energy fields to repair ourselves. Additionally, he shares the ancient teachings of the medicine wheel to release disempowering narratives and embrace rebirth. By applying these principles, Dr. Villoldo assures that you can feel better within days, clear your mind and heal in a week, and, in six weeks, embark on the journey to “grow a new body” that heals rapidly and connects you to Spirit and purpose.
