About this listen
The word "shaman" means "one who sees in the dark." Shamans consciously choose to live in two different worlds at the same time. They have one foot here in the everyday world and one foot in the world of the spirits. The fact is, we all live in these two different worlds, but are commonly not aware of the other, less visible one. This world does not exist in some other place, but is right beside us, just outside of our usual perceptions.
Seeing in the Dark is a definitive source for personal shamanism and not only provides the tools and techniques of the shaman, but presents the wisdom tradition, awareness paradigm, and shamanic way of life. The powerful shamanic path has weathered the cataclysmic changes of over 50,000 years of human history and is even more vital and relevant today. In times when stress, tension, and the fast pace of life overwhelm us, this path shows us how to slow down, reconnect to the sacred, and harness our personal power-skills that will be needed for the uncertain days ahead.

Over 40,000 years ago, the first shamans ventured into the spirit realms in search of wisdom and healing. What they found, teaches Sandra Ingerman, was a secret world of teachers, animal spirits, and the soul fragments of those suffering in the ordinary world. The Soul Retrieval Journey reveals a stunning insight understood by those first shamans: that when lost parts of the soul return to the body, the mind, body, and spirit heal.

The greatest contribution of the ancient shamans to modern healing is the understanding that in the course of any life we are liable to suffer soul loss - the loss of parts of our vital energy and identity - and that to be whole and well, we must find the means of soul recovery. Moss teaches that our dreams give us maps we can use to find and bring home our lost or stolen soul parts. He shows how to recover animal spirits and ride the windhorse of spirit to places of healing and adventure in the larger reality.

Wish the voice matched the content
Where does Seeing in the Dark rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I haven't heard much of it yet. The reader is so emotionally flat that I keep drifting off.
Who was your favorite character and why?
n/a
What does Janice Anderson bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Nothing. The reader seems more concerned with her "professional" reader voice than conveying the depth of the text. She reads in a sing song, whispered, metered voice that, while it may sound good to the ear, is not moving the message. I'd rather read the book myself.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not yet.

The old is new
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This is super old wisdom that has perhaps been forgotten because of the new age thinking of living on having and owning things tha "satisfy" our states of mind.
What other book might you compare Seeing in the Dark to and why?
"The master key system" by Charles Hannel
Which scene was your favorite?
Both
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
wanted, Yes. There is a great of susbstance in this book that must be absorbed. I takes time.
Any additional comments?
If you are interested in learning "things" that would probably never occcur to you in your life time. Take advantage.

Give it a chance
Any additional comments?
Im very scientific minded, so this was pretty hard to take seriously at times. Its important to remember that the authors didnt just make this shit up, these are ideas that have been around for thousands of years. Sort of. I recognized a mixture of vedic, buddhist, and native american ideas. I would recommend listening to "The Spiritual Brain: Science and Religious Experience" as well as having a basic understanding of Jung first. That said, once you get past the fairies and unicorns there is some value here. There are some useful meditation techniques relying heavily on visualization and sound, something not learned so much with transcendental meditation. Remember that its been proven that by using meditation humans can change not only the way that they feel about themselves, but the actual chemical and physical structure of the brain. This coupled with documentation on the placebo effect and psychosomatic illness begs the question of wether our minds are being used to their full healing potential.

Ever experience a Dark Night of the Soul?
If you could sum up Seeing in the Dark in three words, what would they be?
Have you ever experienced a “dark night of the soul”? Colleen Deatsman is a teacher and a healer who knows from personal experience what it is like to be devastatingly ill. She felt utterly fatigued, depressed, frustrated, disconnected, and lost. For ten years, Colleen was one of the hopeless who suffered from a chronic illness. Traditional medicine could not effectively treat her symptoms. Prescription drugs were more risk than benefit. Side-effects were worse than the “disease.” Determined to live life fully again, she embarked on a journey of self-healing and spiritual awakening that led to her complete recovery.
I can relate to all of the above and that is why I bought this audiobook.
Her book details non-traditional do-it-yourself techniques. Through detailed descriptions, her own convincing story, and an easy to follow step-by-step format for the reader to grasp, Colleen moved from agonized disability to full recovery and spiritual illumination. Her journey to wellness is clearly outlined in this book. She convinced me that if she, an ordinary woman could heal herself with her techniques, so could I. I’m just as ordinary as anyone!
The word “shaman” means “one who sees in the dark.” Shamans consciously choose to live in two different worlds at the same time. They have one foot here in the everyday world of work and responsibility and one foot in the world of the spirits. The fact is, we all live in these two different worlds, but are commonly not aware of the other, less visible one. Interestingly, this world exists right beside us, perhaps just outside of our usual perceptions.
Seeing in the Dark presents the wisdom tradition and shamanic way of life which is in complete harmony with the natural world. The only things that are unnatural is that our current governments and religious leaders have conditioned humanity in an entirely different way — in a truly unnatural direction. Nevertheless, the shamanic path has weathered the cataclysmic changes of eons of human history and is even more vital and relevant today than it was in ancient times. In times when stress, tension, and the fast pace of life overwhelm us, this path shows us how to slow down, reconnect to the sacred, and harness our personal power — skills that will be needed for the uncertain days ahead.

Amazing!
I've listened to this Audio book twice, and will listen again. Great exercises, journey suggestions and general information. Will also purchase the book.
