Dance of the Four Winds: Secrets of the Inca Medicine Wheel

I absolutely loved reading this story, and haven't read any story as stimulating since The Celestine Prophesy.... the difference, of course being - that this book recounts true life experiences. This was an engaging, enjoyable read with many eye opening insights into other ways and worlds. I have vivid memories of the images and experiences described in this book. Fascinating!

a great and by-now classic book on the theme of shamanism by an anthopologist and psychologist. I LIKE THIS BOOK BECAUSE HE TRIES IN IT TO DECRIBE HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCES IN COMMON WORDS

This is one of the best book I've read. It's so vivid. So mesmerizing. It really takes you on a journey. Reading this book is like actaully experiencing what the character in the book experience. It is one of the book that has a big impact on me and changed the way I see life and Nature. It's just a great book. I've read it two times and plan to read it again soon.

I found this book to be extremely helpful in understanding or beginning to 'see' within the world of the shaman. The world around us is constantly providing us insights, clues, answers to our most profound questions. Yet we have learned, through rigorous training, to not be able to 'see' these very important clues. As a new student of shamanism, studying with Alberto, I heard the words offered in the workshops and I sensed the essence of the teachings through the experiential practices. But it was by reading this book that I began to renew my relationship with the earth; with intuition, with the contant feedback that is provided us from the natural world.The book is easy to read and provided great insight into the shamanic realm. I highly recommend it.

I found this book very informative and one of those books that I couldn't put down (as opposed to couldn't pick back up!) and read it cover to cover in a matter of a week. I found the story very believable and, although it could be construed as someone's acid-trip, based in reality. As a student of the arts, I must commend Alberto on the way he retold a story that is nearly impossible to relate.I have recommended this text, and The Island of the Sun, to many people interested in seeking Universal Energy outside the bounds of modern religion.We owe it to Mother Earth and Father Sun to continue the work of the Inca.Thank you.
