The Cauldron and the Drum: A Journey Into Celtic Shamanism - Rhonda Mccrimmon

Descriere

nCeltic shamanism (aka European shamanism) is an ancient spiritual tradition whose origin predates the arrival of Christianity in northern Europe. One of the central beliefs of Celtic shamanism is that the spirituality you seek is inside you. In this groundbreaking book, Rhonda McCrimmon explains the origin and practices of Celtic shamanism, and teaches readers about the three energetic cauldrons and how to work with them. n According to over a thousand years of Celtic tradition, the root of a person's physical, spiritual and emotional health comes from the three Cauldron Power Centers found in the energetic body. The Celts believed a person must activate, nurture, and maintain all three cauldrons to live a whole, connected, meaningful life. n n The Cauldron of Warming contains the innate knowledge which is our birthright. Childhood trauma can cause this cauldron to drain, leaving us feeling anxious and fearful. n n The Cauldron of Motion is on its side at birth and fills when we experience deep grief or joy. A filled Cauldron of Motion helps us to love and nurture, while an empty one can foster boundary issues and allow us to be easily drained by the emotions of others. n n The Cauldron of Wisdom is upside down at birth and is righted when we develop our spiritual gifts and connect with nature. As we right this cauldron, we receive the divine knowledge of the ancient Celts. n n In this book you will learn how to bring your energetic cauldrons into balance, in addition to exploring the tradition of Celtic fire festivals and the sacred practice of saining. Regardless of your ancestral roots, Celtic Shaman Rhonda McCrimmon invites you to partake of this ancient wisdom and begin your journey down the shaman's path.n
