Glimpses of them can arise at any age in the form of intuitive dreams, déjà vu, spontaneous visions, and out-of-body experiences. Most people dismiss these experiences. However, by embracing these gifts, we can unlock our shamanic potential to change ourselves and the world around us.Revealing his transformation from skeptic to respected shamanic healer, Itzhak Beery explains how, after countless prescient dreams and visions throughout his life that he brushed off, a series of synchronistic events led to his first shamanism workshop with Michael Harner, renowned shamanism scholar and teacher. This, in turn, led to a trip to South America with John Perkins to work with indigenous shamanic healers. Beery shares his experiences with ayahuasca rituals in the Amazon, messages from power animals and plant spirits, dreams that foretold future events, and holographic sightings of past lives and spiritual entities, both evil and benign. He details his shamanic way of “seeing” to diagnose spiritual, emotional, and physical ailments via candle readings and remote viewing. Explaining how we are always surrounded by spirits, he recounts helping people communicate with loved ones who have passed on and shares powerful stories of soul retrieval during shamanic journeys to other worlds.Through his true stories of visions that manifested in reality, Beery reveals that we are all shamans. By igniting our natural intuition and developing trust for our inner powers, we can each connect to the oneness of nature where all knowledge is found.

It is our birthright.

This mixture of biography and teaching helps communicate the worldview of traditions shamans. It is a fascinating tale beginning with Beery as an atheist and sceptic through his experiences with the unseen and advancing spiritual maturity leading to his role as a teacher and healer. Beery communicates well and reminds us of the urgent need to rediscover ourselves in a world lost to materialism and consumerism." (New Dawn, Robert Black, October 2015)

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Chapter 3Past-life Experiences Is there life after life? Is our soul immortal and caught in the birth-death-rebirth cycle? What is the role of our physical bodies?As a self-declared rationalist and atheist, I used to be awfully cynical about phenomena such as past lives. But in my grief over losing my mother, I found myself praying that my mother’s soul would come back in the form of my daughter. So, when I began to experience the reality of past lives, as in the following stories, it caught me totally by surprise and made me a believer.Two Knights“Can you ‘see’ a past lifetime vision I had recently had?” A new client challenged me as we were sitting to do a candle reading. At first I was taken aback by her forthright question, as I always wait for the images to come to me and do not like to be forced or challenged this way. So I took a big breath. Scanning and gazing at her softly, suddenly a picture of two English soldiers riding fast, dark horses and wearing heavy armor materialized on the left side behind her head. It was the middle of a massive battle. A large forest surrounded the slanted green hilly battlefield. I recognized my client as the man on the left. His shoulder was terribly wounded. I watched him as he finally fell off his horse to die.The man on his right, his best friend, looked backward and continued galloping, realizing he could not protect or save him. As I conveyed this vision to my client she nodded in sadness and confirmed that it was exactly what she saw and experienced herself. “Why couldn’t he save me?” she asked with deep mourning. “That is the story of my life, I am always deeply disappointed when people don’t come to help me.”My Life as a WitchVery thin, with dark, flowing, curly hair, Laurie walked into my healing room. Her brown eyes were bright, playful, and curious, hiding a lifetime of deep suffering. “I need to be prepared for my planned trip to Peru, where I am going for the first time to drink ayahuasca. I want to cure my chronic depression, anxiety, and addiction to painkillers.”These were the reasons she gave for coming for this shamanic healing. Little did we know then that this session would reveal a whole other lifetime. I brought to her attention the fact that most of the time when a person takes antidepressants or anxiety medication, shamanic healing may not be as effective, as it needs to combat those spirits too, while the client’s spirit is suppressed. She seemed to understand and agreed anyway.“I have some pain on the right side of my lower back. Could it be an intrusion of bad spirits?” she asked.I handed her a jaguar bone to hold between her two palms to check for possession. “No you are not possessed, but you had some trembling in your left hand, which signals problems or disturbances with a mother or a feminine energy,” I said. She nodded in agreement. As we continued our conversation, a picture, a holographic image, formed above her right shoulder, slightly above her head. A short, heavyset, round, and youngish European woman stood in her kitchen mixing with her right hand what seemed like soup in a big cauldron on a wood-burning stove. Her light-blond hair was tucked under a light blue cap, and a white apron was tied to her bluish dress, covering her full feminine figure. While continuing our regular conversation, I thought, Who is this woman? How is she related to my client? She seems to not have any resemblance to my client, so why is she here? Is she her ancestor? I needed more information.“What is your ancestry?” I asked my client, looking into her dark eyes.“Oh, part French, part German, and part English. Why do you ask?”It must be France then, I thought. “I do not know why yet, but there is a woman here.” I went on, describing to her the scene that was evolving in front of my eyes. “I think she is a healer, a witch making a special brew to heal someone.”I took a breath, and another vision came. “There is a girl walking in from the door on the left side. She is maybe sixteen, looking like a younger version of her mother, but without the cap. The woman is calmly teaching her daughter to make the healing brew. They seem to be so innocent and peaceful, an almost idyllic image of a young farmers’ family, but not for long. I can see a few people coming down a road from the fields. I don’t know who they are.” I concentrated on them. “Suddenly, the front door of the kitchen on the right side opens aggressively and three men walk in. They are wearing black hooded robes.”“Who are they? Are they priests?” Laurie asked.“Yes, they are, wearing black robes with hoods over their heads, I can’t see their faces. I think they came to take them. Yes, they’re arresting them. They are going to burn them as witches.” I had to stop and take a big breath, as I felt goosebumps spread over my entire body. I continued: “I have the sense that this woman might actually be you a few hundred years ago. I think I’m seeing you in your past life.”“Interesting,” Laurie said. We had a long period of silence. “You know, it makes a lot of sense. I’m a writer, and for the past few years I have been working on a book about women healers from all cultures who fought against society’s judgment. I feel very passionate about it. I’m also working for an organization for women’s rights. And I have one daughter.”“Are you very protective of your daughter?”“You bet! I hope not in a bad way, though,” she said.

McMahon I've known Itzhak Beery since early 2001, when I first attended the New York Shamanic Circle ("NYSC," then actually called the "New York Drumming Circle"). I had gone there at the suggestion of Edy Nathan, a powerful healer in her own right, because she felt that shamanism would do me some good. It certainly did!I was an active member of the NYSC for a good twelve years before becoming what you might call a "lapsed shamanic student," participating in the monthly circles only intermittently (at best), and rarely attending workshops and other special shamanic events as I had in the past. (I do keep up with my daily morning shamanic ritual, however, calling in the spirits from the seven directions, and offering thanks while seeking continued protection and assistance.)From my time at the NYSC, what I remember most about Itzhak, a founding member of the group, was his warmth and friendliness, and how he made me and others feel so at home from the very beginning, month after month, year after year. At some point, I learned that Itzhak was a shamanic practitioner, but I had no idea of the depth of his involvement until I read his inspiring book, "The Gift of Shamanism." Nor had I ever heard Itzhak (or other members of the NYSC leadership) share his (or their) own shamanic journeys or mystical experiences. Till now.In his thoroughly enjoyable book, "The Gift of Shamanism," Itzhak shares his awesome experiences as a shamanic healer, providing so many wonderful insights along the way. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in, or curiosity about, shamanism, as well as for those deeply immersed in this ancient spiritual practice.In the introduction, Itzhak reveals that he has gone from skeptic to believer. This was news to me. Nor did I realize that Itzhak had been raised as a Jewish atheist. I'd never heard of Jewish atheists before!In the intro, Itzhak also writes that "[T]he shamanic experience is truly about learning to surrender to the magical and join in the workings of life's mysterious forces." This resonates with me completely, tho, as an editor, I'd change "surrender to" to "accept." It's a subjective matter. I don't like the idea of surrendering, and I don't see a need to here.Later in the introduction, we encounter a subchapter on "WHY A BOOK OF STORIES?" Itzhak answers his own question with, "I choose to write a book of stories that might connect with you emotionally and guide you indirectly into the shamanic way of `seeing'." I agree wholeheartedly with this approach, an approach I followed in my 2007 book "Journey Into the Mystic (From the Streets of Brooklyn)" which (in the interests of full disclosure) Itzhak had so generously endorsed.In the first chapter on "How It All Started," Itzhak begins with a story about a chance encounter at a local bookstore, which rings so true. The author mentions how his upbringing (as an atheistic Jew on a kibbutz ) was the "perfect introduction to the basic principles of shamanism: deep connection to nature, close encounters with death, boundaries of imagination, a sense of history, and the importance of community and storytelling." The tie-ins are, in a word or two, highly synchronistic. His Albert Einstein quote falls right into place.In Chapter 2, "Dreaming," Itzhak begins with a John Lennon quote on how John believed in everything, "until it's disproved." I love Lennon, but can't go along with his philosophy here. As a lawyer (okay I'm a lawyer, I confess), I understand that the burden of proof never rests on one to disprove a negative. It is the responsibility of the person offering the positive version (e.g. "Fairies exist") to prove his or her point. All that aside, in this chapter, I found particularly interesting Itzhak's account of a "scary dream that followed me on and off for more than eight years." The details are intriguing.Chapter 3 presents Itzhak's work with past-life regression. I've been down this road myself. As the author notes, "Most indigenous societies hold a deep belief in reincarnation." So do I. And the stories that the author relates support the premise that we have all lived past lives. Captivating!"Soul retrieval" is the basis of Chapter 4. As Itzhak notes, "It's hard to describe exactly what a soul is," yet he achieves that objective. His stories and experiences regarding soul loss and soul retrieval are most illuminating.Chapter 5 is about plant medicine to which I have never been drawn. Quite the contrary. The plant medicine promise reminds me of the Sixties' rap which proffered that LSD was the gateway to Nirvana. Didn't turn out that way, at least, not for me. More like a horror trip thru Hell. From the messages and lessons that Itzhak reports he came back with from his ayahuasca trips, well, frankly, I already knew all that. Granted, it's one thing to know, and another to experience. And thanks to Itzhak for sharing his ayahuasca experiences which confirm to me that, I'd rather take a walk along the summer shore of Brighton Beach after a glass of wine at Tatiana's on the Boardwalk, than embark on a trek thru the Amazon jungle to ingest ayahuasca.In Chapter 6, the focus is on shapeshifting, with which I am very familiar. Here, as elsewhere, Itzhak's description of his experiences is very detailed and vivid, adding even more credulity to his accounts.I very much enjoyed the chapter (7) on "Seeing," with the mind's eye. I have never heard the concept expressed more effectively than how Itzhak describes it. Impressive is the stat which Itzhak gives, indicating that "In my workshops...96 percent of the participants successfully see one or true elements about their partner." I appreciate statistics like this--could have used more of them (e.g., for X number of success stories presented here, there were Y number of failures).Chapter 8 is about shamanic journeying, the hallmark of the NYSC. The chapter begins with a quote from Michael Harner, who spearheaded the interest in shamanism among Westerners. `All of nature has a hidden nonordinary reality,' Harner states (via Itzhak). Yes, to be sure. Itzhak writes of journeying to other realities, and while this may sound far fetched to the uninitiated, Itzhak's experiential stories demonstrate, individually and collectively, how effective and healing shamanic journeying can be.Candle reading is the topic of Chapter 9. This is a process in which we have occasionally engaged at the NYSC. I like Itzhak's intro, stating that "[A]round each person's physical body there is an invisible energetic body or illuminated body, sometimes called the aura, which houses our memories, emotions, traumas, and the spirits of our ancestors and the living. " The personalized stories are quite moving.In Chapter 10, Itzhak embarks into psychonavigation, i.e., long distance viewing. Interesting in particular how Itzhak recalls one experience that "had a strong impact on me and that was quite terrifying." It's not all a ride down Easy Street, as Itzhak points out (and as I have learned, the hard way).The experiences Itzhak shares in the chapters on holographic experiences, house clearing, healing ceremonies, Aztec seeing, and using shamanic vision in business, are--like all of the discussions in the book--easy to read, crystal clear, and highly inspiring. I especially appreciate how, throughout the book, Itzhak humbly admits that he continually experienced self-doubt, and would at times dismiss his visions as "a fluke." Been there, felt that.I would be remiss if I didn't mention Itzhak's illustrations, which are interspersed throughout the book. His artwork effectively captures shamanism in the act, something I've never witnessed before."We Are All Shamans" is the title of the book's epilogue, which begins, "Learning from my clients' life stories and from my own childhood, I believe that as young children we come into the world highly open to the world of magic and mystery." I couldn't agree more. Itzhak continues with "a few suggestions to help you develop your intuitive skills," including "Take notes of your life's strange `coincidences,' [aka, synchronicities] accidents, or flukes. Nothing happens without a reason..." I tend to agree, for the most part, but as Itzhak indicates in his book, sometimes it takes a while to figure out the reason.In sum, Itzhak Beery's "The Gift of Shamanism" is a book well worth reading for anyone at all interested in learning about the shamanic way. For those of us who've been at it for years, the book is an insightful excursion into, and meaningful validation of, that which we have experienced."I love this book," says premier shamanic teacher/author/anthropologist Hank Wesselman, on the acknowledgements page."Ditto!" say I, here.

Great book even greater than author By Yang Zhao After reading a book on Reiki Shamanism I decided to pick up a book that concentrates more on the subject of Shamanism and it's processes. Shortly after I read the preface of this book I decided to buy it because the author is based in NYC and the author was brought upon shamanism later in his life and he has since became a renown shamanic figurehead. I absolutely enjoyed this book from page one and I practically ate through the entire book in less than one week. Some of the stories really touched my heart especially because of my recent traumatic experiences that were all so surreal to me such as the loss of my mother to cancer, a bar fight that lead to my arrest follow by anger management therapy, as well as the birth of my son. I liked the book so much I decided to contact the author Itzhak Beery in NYC and he performed a Amazonian style healing session on me. Every since the Healing session I've head back in Late May 2015, I have since felt much more relaxed, calm, and I am able to withstand stress more and I'm able to perform daily functions much more mindfully. And also I no longer feel the terrible sadness and guilt in me after my mother passed away last year. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has interest in this field or simply want a book that contains extraordinary beyond this world stories.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Beautiful, Inspirational Read By R. E. Krauser In The Gift of Shamanism, Itzhak Beery takes a seemingly foreign and untouchable realm for most people and makes it relatable and applicable to today's global citizens. In his words, shamanism is a "practical practice" rather than a spiritual one. The book illustrates how every individual is able to harness the inner power that is needed to create the life that he or she wants to live. Everyone, ranging from those with little experience with shamanism to those who have been practicing for years, can benefit from this book. Its captivating, inspiring, beautifully told stories illustrate the main facets of shamanism through the personal perspectives of people who have experienced it. Through Beery's telling of his own personal journey from an NYC advertising exec to contemporary shaman, it is, in itself, a perfect example of how one can combine a formerly other worldly subject and make it one for every man.
