Reviews
Beautifully and elegantly written, this is a rational how-to manual based equally on aspects of human consciousness combined with real time glimpses into a state of higher being we all touch in our lives. The concepts are clearly presented in a respectful voice, by an author obviously intelligent, inquiring, creative, daring and well educated. It is an amalgamation of the exotic and the ordinary. This is the text-book I have been wishing for. I am sure I will continue to revisit its pages as my personal practice deepens., A rich guide to spiritual awakening and emotional balance. Many self-improvement titles urge meditation, breathing, and journaling to engage readers on their path to wellness. Greer, a clinical psychologist, Jungian analyst, and shamanic practitioner, takes readers much further, introducing less common tools, such as shamanic principles and Jungian archetypes. Shamanism, he insists, aims to free people from habitual responses and inserts a “pause” between stimuli and reactions. Doing so, Greer writes, allows one’s perception to be autonomous and influenced by detached observation. To readers who are unfamiliar with shamanic principles, the book clearly and vividly describes its practices to help readers live more fully and compassionately. For example, Greer explains that holding too tight to one’s personal “story” discourages change, but detachment from divorce, abuse, failure, or heartbreak can allow for re-evaluation of one’s beliefs. The author also fascinatingly asserts that all things have a frequency and an energetic nature and that people can sense vibrations in their physical surroundings. But there’s also an intriguing lesson behind this idea: our bodies carry frequencies as well, he says, reinforcing the idea that the physical body, like the mind, carries energy that affects one’s overall wellness. Greer also thoughtfully explains mindful breathing, journeying through autobiographical exercises, and acknowledging and calling on inner archetypes (“we all have an inner critic and an inner wise person, an inner mother and inner father, and an inner feminine and inner masculine figure or energy”). In a final chapter, the author discusses the use of rituals as a way to create new stories. Overall, Greer successfully offers an entrance into ancient topics that may renew readers’ zest for life and their hope for future progress. A successful, engaging book about shamanic ideas and psychological archetypes, among other concepts.-from Kirkus Reviews, Carl Greer has written a wonderful and compassionate guide for seekers of psychological and spiritual growth. He introduces the reader to basic shamanic and Jungian concepts to link timeless ritual methods with modern active imaginal techniques. His clear explanations provide perspective, and his suggested exercises support personal exploration. ?, Change Your Story, Change Your Life takes the reader through several shamanic techniques including journeying, fire ceremonies and creating a despacho as well as techniques taken from Jungian tradition, or from a blend of Jungian and shamanic, such as sand painting, working with dreams and dialoguing. Throughout the book the author describes his own experiences and the conclusions he drew, also giving useful examples from his clients. In chapter three methods are explained to explore and work with your current story through writing exercises, moving on to writing your new story in chapter four. The final chapters give guidance on how to apply techniques to ensure you continue to take charge of your story and on how to participate in writing new stories for society., Change Your Story, Change Your Life takes the reader through several shamanic techniques including journeying, fire ceremonies and creating a despacho as well as techniques taken from Jungian tradition, or from a blend of Jungian and shamanic, such as sand painting, working with dreams and dialoguing.
