Product Description

Product Description

From cross-cultural legends recounting shamanic cures to the biblical accounts of the parting of the Red Sea and Jesus multiplying the loaves and fishes, many spiritual traditions are rich in stories about seemingly inexplicable transformations of the natural world. The ancient healing art of transmutation, in which toxic substances are transformed into "safe" substances, is mentioned in all the world's great spiritual traditions, including Hinduism and Taoism. And while many have tapped this body of work to heal the self, it has yet to be used to heal our  environment.

For twenty years, Sandra Ingerman has studied alternative ways to reverse environmental pollution. In this book, Ingerman takes us on a remarkable journey through the history of transmutation, teaching us how we can use this forgotten technique to change ourselves and our environment. She provides us with creative visualizations, ceremonies, rituals, and chants derived from ancient healing practices that produce miraculous, scientifically proven results. In one dramatic illustration of what can be accomplished when consciousness and awareness fuel our actions, Ingerman describes her own success in transforming the nature of chemically polluted water.

By Manda Scott VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Shamanism has become something of a bandwagon these days, with everyone rushing to write their own special pre-celtic/romany/norse/peruvian angle. It's refreshing, therefore, to find someone who acknowledges the obvious fact that the old ceremonies are lost and that we need to create our own, and to find our own integrity with which to do so.
This book has personal integrity at its heart: it provides pointers to ways in which we can integrate a meaningful, heart-felt spirituality into our lives and thus transform first, ourselves, and then the planet. It's simple, straitforward and avoids the 2 common pitfalls by neither patronising the reader nor presenting practises so obscure they could never be followed.
Working through this book from beginning to end is a lifetime's task, but well worth it. Who you are at the start will not be who you are at the end, or even a year down the line.

If you seek personal healing, and genuine transformation, read this.

Harmony Within, Harmony Without 13 Feb 2002
By M. Beeler - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Medicine for the Earth offers hope for all of us in the power of our intent: to cleanse environmental toxins, to heal our world under attack, and to open our hearts. Ingerman focuses on solutions, weaving research and personal experience, tools for shifting consciousness, and a philosophy of healing as she returns always to what we can do. Many writers talk about consciousness of the earth and our relationship with all beings; few provide such a clear map and so many experiential vehicles to us for visioning a different future and making it happen.

Ingerman writes from the worldview of a deep ecologist (though she does not identify herself this way) and a lifetime of shamanic healing and counseling. She provides guided visualizations, meditations, and many ideas for shamanic journeying for readers to expand their relationship with and consciousness of all aspects of the natural and human worlds. Like Cameron's The Artist's Way, this is a book rich with practices to be explored individually as well as in group and community. Unlike most self-help books, however, Medicine for the Earth speaks to our deep desire to transform the world as well as ourselves.

As a meditator I have been moved profoundly by Ingerman's philosophy that we need to shift the internal assumptions and perceptions that get in the way of making change. As a shamanic practicioner, I've had a wonderful time exploring Ingerman's journeying ideas and using my skills in a reciprocal way to heal the earth. And as an environmental activist I have found it exciting to focus my spiritual energy on the problems of pollution and environmental degradation. In sum, this groundbreaking book is inspiring to read and deeply rewarding to work with.

Medicine for Individuals, Communities, Environments, Earth 30 Sep 2002
By Anne B. Morgan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Sandra Ingerman's ground-breaking book deserves careful reading, study, and practice. Through her analysis of spiritual texts and recountings of miraculous events, she provides the reader with a fresh look and understanding of the existence and practice of miracles. Written for a general audience that accepts the spiritual nature of existence, her book presents clear and precise methods to work on our own physical, emotional and mental toxins as well as those in found in water, and by extension in all of the natural world.

What is extraordinary about her book is the clarity of her vision and the simplicity of her methods. And more to the point, these have proven to be successful. While religious historians may balk a bit at her overview of miracles, Sandra Ingerman decribes a blue print for individuals and groups to follow to purify the inner and outer worlds- a heartening prospect indeed!

I highly recommend this book, and encourage all readers to try the practices she suggests.
