Earth Spirit Dreaming: Shamanic Ecotherapy Practices

While reading the book, I felt as if I was taking a college level course. The ideas and sections are complex and I found myself re-reading some of the material to get a true understanding. This is not a light read and dives deep into the earth and these shamanic like practices.

The first section covers topics of waking up the Earth, how to connect, slowing down, how to use the book, daily practices, and more. This helps the reader get the foundation they need to proceed. The next few sections cover Earth-Connecting Practices, Spirit-Connecting, and Dream-Connecting Practices. The author explains Earth-Connecting is to help reconnect our bodies with the Earth and our understanding of how we fit into the environment around us. Understanding that we are part of nature no matter where we are and that we must first establish that connection is the first step.

The second step is the Spirit-Connecting Practices that is typically achieved by what the author mentions as “altered” states of consciousness. Living beyond yourself and seeing that we are part of a bigger picture falls into Spirit-Connecting. This section explains how everything is connected and seeing the spirit or energy connections that link us. The third step, also called Dream-Connecting is where the reader begins to learn how to begin visioning or creative visualization. This step is where the healing and connection to the planetary consciousness is covered.

The author provides plenty of exercises in each type of practice. The goal is to connect to the Earth and help you on your healing journey. The book is written for those well versed in new age vibrational healing and takes some time to study. This guide is a deep dive into the world of healing vision so be prepared to spend the time and study!
