Dreamways of the Iroquois: Honoring the Secret Wishes of the Soul
Autor Robert Mossen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 noi 2004
Explains Native American shamanic dream practices and their applications and purpose in modern life
Shows how dreams call us to remember and honor our soul s true purpose
Offers powerful Active Dreaming methods for regaining lost soul energy to restore our vitality and identity
The ancient teaching of the Iroquois people is that dreams are experiences of the soul in which we may travel outside the body, across time and space, and into other dimensions--or receive visitations from ancestors or spiritual guides. Dreams also reveal the wishes of the soul, calling us to move beyond our ego agendas and the web of other people s projections into a deeper, more spirited life. They call us to remember our sacred contracts and reclaim the knowledge that belonged to us, on the levels of soul and spirit, before we entered our present life experience. In dreams we also discover where our vital soul energy may have gone missing--through pain or trauma or heartbreak--and how to get it back.
Robert Moss was called to these ways when he started dreaming in a language he did not know, which proved to be an early form of the Mohawk Iroquois language. From his personal experiences, he developed a spirited approach to dreaming and living that he calls Active Dreaming.
"Dreamways of the Iroquois "is at once a spiritual odyssey, a tribute to the deep wisdom of the First Peoples, a guide to healing our lives through dreamwork, and an invitation to soul recovery."

Recenzii
"Timely and significant, this is a powerful and richly satisfying combination of myth, history, dream-tellings, stories, poems, and practical tools for 'reaching for the sky.' It provides answers for improving the everyday discipline of dreaming in a culture that has all but lost its soul by forgetting to dream."--Bobbye Middendorf, ForeWord, Mar-Apr 2005
""Dreamways of the Iroquois" is filled with wonderful stories of dreamers who are time travelers and shapeshifters in their sleeping dreams and waking visions."--Susan LosCalzo, "Lofty Nations", "New Age Retailer", Holiday 2005
