About the Book
A One-Stop Training Course in the Shamanic Arts
Written by an authentic practitioner of Peruvian shamanism, this beginner-friendly book shows you how the shamanic arts can completely change your life.

Using his stories and experiences, Daniel helps you discover your soul path and write your own destiny.
This book introduces you to many aspects of shamanism, including the seen and unseen realms, spiritual tools such as mesas and campos, and the three pachas (worlds) of the shamanic cosmos. You'll explore vision quests, limpias, rituals, and other techniques that help unlock your spiritual potential. Through hands-on activities and meaningful insights into shamanic theory and teachings, The Shamanic Soul helps you awaken your True Self.
