Healing Wisdom for a Wounded World: My Life-Changing Journey Through a Shamanic School: Book 3
In Book 3 of Healing Wisdom for a Wounded World, Weam Namou shares the highlights of the third year of her apprenticeship in Lynn Andrews’ four-year shamanic school.
Her biggest act of power this year is to make it to Storm Eagle, the training gathering in Arizona, and participate in the marriage ceremony. She wants to finally meet her mentors and Lynn Andrews in person. As she sets her intent and waits for the outcome, she dives into the schoolwork, which focuses on balancing one’s emotions, building endurance, working deeply with the chakra systems, and celebrating the marriage of self to self.
Through the author’s journey, you will gain insight into these ancient holographic teachings where the past, present, and future exist simultaneously as our reality. This is a theory which goes back to the indigenous people who believed that we exist in a dream or illusion. Physicists across the world are now thinking the same thing and people are awakening to the possible idea of birthing a new story for our planet.

I was lucky enough to win this book thru a contest I entered at GOODREADS. Thank you GoodReads! This was an honest and simple account with just the right amount of detail for other women who are juggling being a full time wife and mother as well as a struggling author, ...to immediately relate to her life. But this doesn't come across as a text book with lessons, dry and over informative. Interestingly, the author, being born in Iraq also explores cultural impacts and teaches us, as she is learning herself, the nurturing aspects of herself and how it draws and influences others. There are no mind boggling existential theories or teachings here but rather a regular woman's journey and how she becomes more self aware. And with that it warms the heart and encourages you to start your own healing journey.

Weam Namou's "Healing Wisdom for a Wounded World: My Life-Changing Journey Through a Shamanic School: Book 3" is definitely interesting as it is totally unlike anything I have ever read. I like the writing style and the book was easy to follow along with. I quite enjoyed it.

A good book about about a spiritual journey
This book follows the author through her third year as a student of Lynn Andrews Shamanic school. She shares her inner struggles between her busy family life and her personal spiritual journey. Often, it seems her husband didn’t really understand what she was trying to accomplish or he wasn’t very supportive. She also talks about her weekly calls with her mentor from the school. It was fun to follow her progress and get a little glimpse of what it would be like to be a student of this shamanic school. It is the third book in a series of four. I didn’t read the 2 previous books. There were a handful of phrases or ideas in the book that I didn’t understand like “ I had to do ceremony “ or “Are you rainbow or nurturing.” They were probably in reference to something in one of the two previous books or possibly from one of Lynn Andrews books. It may have been helpful to read the previous books, but I don’t feel like it was necessary. I’m always on the lookout for a book with a good spiritual message. This one was pretty good. I didn’t love it, but I liked it. The author got a lot out of the school and the mentoring. I think I might have liked the book more if I was more interested in Shamanism or becoming on. I won a copy of the Kindle Edition of this book from Goodreads.

Interesting read
January 5, 2017
The third book written by Weam Namou continues to display the author’s spiritual and professional life changes experienced through the third year at the shamanic school, seen from the perspective of a new mentor and new goals to reach in her life (the most decisive being the training trip to Storm Eagle and the participation in the marriage ceremony, in this case).
As I’m a student who’s working to become a better version of myself with every occasion, I appreciated and found very helpful and inspiring the deeply conversations between the author and her mentor which, along with the subject of the book, approaches at the same time daily and professional aspects that can be applied in everyone’s life.
“Healing Wisdom for a Wounded World” it’s something different from all the motivational and self-discovery books that I’ve ever read and I would definitely recommend it to all my friends and not only!
