Deep Liberation: Shamanic Tools for Reclaiming Wholeness in a Culture of Trauma
Tools for radical transformation: becoming whole in a culture of trauma.
To create a world free from oppression, we each have to come face to face with the beliefs, stories, and actions that maintain these systems--within ourselves. In indigenous cultures throughout the world, it's understood that true transformation starts in the body, with a change of heart. But how can we create a new story of transformation and liberation if we haven't learned to heal our own stories? How can we change the hearts of others when we can't change our own?
Shamanic healer Langston Kahn offers Deep Liberation Process, a body-based, step-by-step approach that encourages us to dive deeply into past trauma and heartbreak and address it at the root to reclaim our power. Kahn shares a practice to radically transform the range of fear-based stories we each hold in ourselves: from traumatic experiences, oppression, and habitual emotional patterns to the outmoded beliefs that hold us back from healing, transforming, and freeing our authenticity and unique genius.
Each chapter guides readers in gaining the awareness and skills necessary to become accountable to the heart. Bridging the shamanic wisdom of ancient spirituality with the needs and demands of modern-day life, Kahn offers concrete skills to cultivate deep grounding, boundaries, and a healthy energy body; practices for nurturing relationships with helping spirits and the divine; rituals for deep transformation; and tools for effectively tending personal and collective well-being in community.

Provides an interesting and different view on healing, especially from trauma, in a digestible format for those new to these kinds of topics and teachings. There are a lot of guided exercises that you can begin to apply the lessons really quickly in to your life. Really enjoyed the visualizations practices and will continue to use the exercises.

Not your everyday self help book. Interesting in depth reading.

Langston gives the reader autonomy in thoughts, beliefs, and practices which is nice to see because other self-help books tend to take that away. Langston also touches on white supremacy, capitalism, and lgbtq+ movements and how they affect our psyche and experience on earth while also offering ways to cope and access deep healing. Langston did a fantastic job writing this through the pandemic.
