Sacred Energies of the Sun and Moon: Shamanic Rites of Curanderismo

Sacred Energies of the Sun and Moon: Shamanic Rites of Curanderismo with Erika Buenaflor, M.A., J.D. Ancient Mesoamerican shamans and modern practitioners of curanderismo--a Latin American shamanic healing practice--divide each day and night into distinct periods based on the sacred rhythms of the sun and moon, with each time offering opportunities to connect with specific celestial energies for healing and transformation. In this hands-on guide to working with the sacred energies of the sun, night sun, and moon, curandera Erika Buenaflor details the rites, rituals, and deities for each part of the day and night and explores the sacred tools and techniques used by ancient Mesoamerican shamans for harnessing solar and lunar energies. She explains how the sun is the source of soul energy that heals, animates, strengthens, and revitalizes us on many levels, while night energies are transformative and conducive for connecting with nonordinary realms. Erika Buenaflor, M.A., J.D., has a master's degree in religious studies with a focus on Mesoamerican shamanism from the University of California at Riverside.  For more information visit: http://www.realizeyourbliss.com/ Smile of the Universe: Miracles in an Age of Disbelief with Michael Grosso, Ph.D
