Shamanic Breathwork: The Nature of Change Paperback – March 14, 2022

This book is a phenomenal collection of true life stories that will give you a fresh breath of life on your own journey of rebirth - finding yourself. Breath is a bridge to our original soul-mind consciousness, our higher self. Every breath we consciously take open the door to our inner self and could guide us to deep hidden (often sad or scary) stories of our life that we try to avoid to see by any cost, because we are afraid what they may reveal. I am on healing journey for many years, and healing myself and others became my way of life, yet I found myself weeping several times while reading the empowering stories that spoke to the deepest part of my inner self, the part that related, the part that said - that happened to me, too. Be conscious of your breath while you are reading stories of brave souls who shared how “Shamanic Breathwork” showed them the way to heal, and empowered them to become Light and Love in the world of darkness that each of us, at one point or another, experience in our life. Breathe concisely and know it is your soul leading you here. Open your heart and let the true stories written from someone else heart to touch yours , allow yourself to accept the gift of healing from a brave souls who walked the similar path like you may be right now. If I could give ten stars, I would. Reading this book is like sitting in a circle of a loving soul family, sharing stories from our journey on Earth. One day, we have a good laugh about it.

I know some of the authors of this book and have done breathwork and processing with some. That may make my review biased but I think it also makes it more informed. Star Wolf and the other authors are the real deal in my experience.It was an honor to read the stories of each author's journey from how they were wounded to how they healed with the help of Shamanic Breathwork. The stories resonated because my story is the same. From deep wounding to a better life gained through being introduced to this powerful method of self exploration and realization.If you have been looking for a way to unlock your own inner healing ability, if you want to hear stories of transformation and hope, read this book. This is a book to read if you want to move forward and be inspired by those who have felt the same call to take a step forward. The stories within span a great spectrum of experience and backgrounds and each one is a deep sharing from the heart - full of magic and hope. Surely there will be several (if not all) that resonate with you wherever you are on your path.If you want to keep doing what is not no moving you forward or you need to continue to believe that you cannot heal, don't read this book - and definitely don't do Shamanic Breathwork!

I am thankful for the day I found Linda Starwolf and Venus Rising. I had been working with one of the authors for twenty years and my life changed from a frightened woman who could not make changes on myself. I wanted everyone else to change. And then the spiritual path opened to me with the help of Gail Foss. It is beautiful to see the written words of her life in the book. Gail believes she can only help someone as far as she is willing to go herself. In the continuation of her sacred path and purpose, Gail found Linda Starwolf and then introduced me to breathwork. I have come to see how powerful this path is and how real the purpose and sacredness of my life is with the Divine. I can journey into my soul and touch the Divine. I am now good medicine to myself, to those around me and to the earth. My sacred purpose is to change myself, not others. Powerful are the stories and blessed to know this path and people.

I’ve just reread many of the stories in this book this week. Through each authors stories, you start to get a very good glimpse of how powerful this breathwork modality is in healing body, mind and spirit, in healing the ailments of the heart, and in allowing love to come in more fully than ever before. Everyone has pain in their lives. We also have free will and a choice of either staying stuck in the stories or moving through, and Shamanic Breathwork can help one see and break through to freedom.

I've attended shamanic breathwork sessions and found them to be very powerful, so I was inspired to learn more. It's important not to embark on this book as if reading a "how to," because it's not that. Instead it is a collection of stories from people who have come to breakwork and are now using it in their own lives. These practitioners were inspired by Star Wolf, whose own story begins the book. Star Wolf's story, and the others contained in the book illustrate shamanic principles, such as shamanic death and rebirth. While I loved reading fascinating inspiring chapters, I was equally inspired by the offering in each chapter, and the chance to get to know each person better. Star Wolk, for example, includes a link to an online breathwork session; there are also meditations and reflections, including a wonderful chakra opening meditation. Please take a moment to get past the need for a "how to" -- breathwork is experiential -- and dip into these inspiring stories of growth and change.

This book has 27 authors. Each presents their own story followed by an example of an element of Shamanic Breathing.As each is unique, there is great variety in the offerings and what each author has taken from Shamanic Breathing, as well as what they offer through their individual practices. Some present in a way easily relatable to someone who isn’t familiar with the terminology.I particularly appreciated Chapter 16, Baby You Were Born to Breathe by Mariko and Chapter 25, Symbiotic Evolution by Carly and John.Because I’ve been interested in many types of breathing techniques used for awareness, cleansing of negativity, spiritual progress, mental and physical health, etc. I wanted to read this book. As a result, I’m more interested in learning about the process and ceremonies.

What a powerful book!If you are ready to transform your life with only the power of your breath, then this book is for you. It is a wonderful testimonial from 25 amazing individuals that have used Breathwork to bring about amazing change and transformation into their lives. You will not be disappointed as their stories will keep you captivated and hopeful that you have the power within you to become the version of yourself that you have always been dreaming of.

I got the Kindle edition for this book - a first for me, as I do prefer holding an actual book! However, I am really glad I did because it encouraged me to follow the links more easily and I probably would have been less likely to go and look up the links if I was reading from a book.I found it very interesting to read about all the authors personal journeys and the teachings that have emerged from their own experiences, as this is how my own path has taken me too. As a teacher of movement and other healing therapies it is always reassuring to hear others stories and to feel part of a community.I immediately found Linda Star Wolf's story just really spoke to me and so I embarked on the Shamanic breathwork that she offered via the link and was hooked - this breathwork is what I have been missing during my own personal practices and opened me up to a whole part of me that I could feel deep inside but had been struggling to access (probably through fear). So her words "breathe until you are surprised" were like a magical key unlocking me - just wow!! is the only word that sums up my experiences so far.I have also found the other authors to be fascinating and am looking forward to doing more research via their links too.But for now, the amount of information that has been received and will continue to evolve just from reading Linda Star Wolf's words has blown me away. Thank you all, I found this book at exactly the right time.A very generous offering from many open hearted individuals.

Very interesting... learn so much.

What can I say other than yu must get your hands on tis beautifully written book. Great book for beginners and explannation of Breathwork. Thank you for this beauty!

This book is a great read for any beginner of Breathwork or anyone that has been through therapy but finds themselves still in need of healing. The experiences and stories of others are inspiring to read about.
