Manual dos Devas

by Nathaniel Altman

Quando contemplamos a força impetuosa de uma cachoeira, a beleza etérea de um arco-íris ou a plácida solidez de um penhasco, muitos de nós percebem "algo mais" que transcende os cinco sentidos: uma energia de paz, de harmonia, de cura e de contentamento. Povos nativos do mundo todo acreditam que essa impressão intuitiva é causada pelas forças da natureza. Essas forças são conhecidas por vários nomes diferentes: anjos, espíritos da natureza, orixás, ou pelo termo sânscrito devas, que significa "seres brilhantes", o Manual dos Devas nos leva de volta a esses guardiães da sabedoria da Terra. O autor se baseia em tradições nativas de todo o mundo, e também em teorias contemporâneas, para analisar o papel, as características e a importância dos devas.
Com a leitura desta obra você vai aprender a se, comunicar com esses seres em qualquer lugar que esteja; no jardim da sua casa ou perto de uma árvore num parque da cidade. Este manual ilustrado propõe procedimentos práticos - incluindo visualizações, orações e oferendas - para ajudá-lo a entrar em contato com os devas da natureza e receber sua ilimitada energia de cura.
Nathaniel Altman é autor e co-autor de mais de quinze livros, incluindo Sacred Treese Oxigen Healing Therapies.

This wasn't the easiest of books for me to read, but was nonetheless inspiring, and I feel it has brought me closer to nature.

This important book contains much information otherwise rarely available.

Preliminary chapters illuminate us as to the development necessary in us humans in order to begin to establish a connection to devas and nature spirits - self-awareness, compassion, respect and humility being key words.

The final part of the book provides us with practical information for preparation to commune with these wise and mighty spirits. It is suggested to visit 'planetary power spots' like the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Mount Fuji or Niagara Falls, once prepared.

We learn that we may receive advice from devas on all, including personal, matters. Healing energy may be accessed for ourselves and others.

Like attracts like, so the more harmonious, loving and respectful we are, the greater
our chances of attracting contact with a high being.

In reality, nature is not divided into separate kingdoms, 'All of the natural world is related as one kingdom.'

I would recommend this book for those with a serious desire to communicate with the devic kingdom. A high-quality book.

very basic, very repetitive, disappointing. maybe good for someone who has never done any type of spirit work before (in which case they might discover that indeed they did, just weren't aware of it) or wasn't familiar with animism? meh

A good introductory guide for working with nature spirits. Has some helpful exercises and it is an easy read.
