The works of the Buddha can feel vast, and it is sometimes difficult for even longtime students to know where to look, especially since the Buddha never explicitly defined the framework behind his teachings. Designed to provide just such a framework, In the Buddha's Words is an anthology of the Buddha's works that has been specifically compiled by a celebrated scholar and translator. Learn More

What is the archaeological evidence for a Europe-wide shamanic culture based around stone circles and megalithic tombs. Shamans traditionally used ancestral landscapes for their journeys and Trwoga focuses on long barrows, causewayed enclosures and passage graves. He even uses neuropsychological research on altered states of consciousness to show how prehistoric rock carvings may have helped to induce trance states. The author demonstrates that stone circles, alignments and cursus monuments are not astronomical observatories, but stage sets for the enactment of cosmic dramas, just as a Roman Catholic church or a Hindu temple is today. * With details on five British shamanic sites, including Avebury and Kilmartin Glen * With copious photographs, maps, illustrations and line drawings A legitimate work of academic research and a laypersons introduction to this fascinating and important subject.

A practical guide to understanding and awakening the human energy body - Shows how the energy body forms our reality from the infinite possibilities presented by our thoughts, feelings, and those around us - Illustrates the anatomy of the energy body, including its connections to the nervous system, chakras, and meridians - Provides step-by-step exercises to awaken the energy body, expand awareness, and begin consciously creating your own reality At a time when consciousness and other aspects of our energetic anatomy are finding their way into modern science, Kenneth Smith blends traditional shamanism with cutting-edge research in bioenergetics and neuroscience to offer this user's guide to the energy body--explaining what it is, what its capabilities are, and how to harness it as a vehicle for higher consciousness and heightened awareness. For more than 5,000 years, shamans of the Toltec tradition have worked with the energy body, learning its structure and perceptual capacities as well as mapping it as an objective, measurable part of our anatomy. Drawing from his decades-long involvement in this tradition and his work in the field of bioenergetics, Smith explains how the energy body shapes our perceptions, determines our state of consciousness, and forms our reality from the infinite possibilities presented by our thoughts, feelings, and those around us. Illustrating our energetic anatomy and its connections to the nervous system, chakras, and meridians, he provides step-by-step exercises to awaken the energy body, expand awareness, and begin consciously creating your own reality.
