There is often a thin line between spirituality and mental illness. Some who hear voices from the Otherworld are deemed insane, while others are anointed as saints."The Reluctant Shaman" explores that issue in the person of a police detective who is furloughed from his job on suspicion of illness, but continues to help solve mysteries and cases with the aid of a helper from the Otherworld.
This book is about a personal spiritual quest that led into higher states of consciousness, alternative healing and shamanism. It explains the need for a solid background in spiritual development, as well as the high level of ethics and integrity that must be established before moving into other dimensions. There are many personal examples of healing and an explanation of shamanic techniques such as soul retrieval, psychic surgery, and entity removal. The author has included numerous self-protection and empowerment techniques that can be helpful to those who are seekers and those who are new to this way of life.
From the NY Times and USA Today Best Selling Author Ty Nolan (Available for a limited time only at $.99)"My grandmother's song would make her wooden dolls dance without strings, something I have sought to do in my own relationships without much success. Perhaps my song is not strong enough, or perhaps I would be better off with stiffer relationships than the blood and bone-based lovers I've chosen--or that have chosen me.Living in cities that are so bright they blot out the stars at night, my lovers have had skin washed pale as fish bellies back home, and I have never quite figured out how to explain to them what happens on our reservation, where stars look new and are strong enough to burn our bodies brown.How do I explain to my vegetarian significant other that he can buy a t-shirt in the tribal store that reads, "Vegetarian is an Indian word for poor hunter." How do those for whom meat is something wrapped in plastic you use plastic to buy, make sense of my siblings hacking meat off a still-warm carcass? Do they really understand that the smooth hardness of the drums of mine they touch and admire is the flesh of the animal scraped clean?"Thus begins a coming of age story of Native American Magical Realism. The first chapter was a finalist in National Public Radio's Short Fiction Contest under "Dolls." Now discover the full story of a most remarkable family.(includes Coyote's Condoms, created for the Real Story Safe-Sex Project)
A mystic, healer, shaman and teacher, the author's journey raises many questions that challenge not only prevailing thought but also religious practices and teachings. Trapped in a world of normative behaviour and education, to which he intuitively knows he doesn't belong, the author chronicles the signs and signals of the suppressed essence of his being and reveals universal interpretations of issues with the human body.
