If you believe in prayer get this book. If you don’t, still get this book.
I am always a fan of this writer’s articles I read on the newsletter called the Power Path. I often pass on his articles to friends and family as they seem to resonate quite deeply with me and this book does the same. I just feel it’s truth! Highly recommended!

New perspective
As it’s said at the end, the info is not new. But how the power of prayer is presented is inspiring and enlightening. It gave me new ways to connect with Spiritual practice.

Well worth your time
This is a fascinating and immersive read that left me genuinely moved. The blend of spiritual themes with accessible storytelling makes it stand out as the words feel both ancient and deeply personal at the same time.
The pacing is excellent for the most part, and there are moments of real beauty that linger long after you’ve finished.
It does get a little repetitive in places, which slows the momentum, but never enough to lose interest.
Overall this is a memorable and meaningful work that I’d recommend to anyone curious about shamanic traditions or spiritual journeys.

Like the author, I was raised in a Catholic household and have some of the same questions about praying. Studying shamanism and other indigenous cultures I have found How to Pray the Shaman's Way a very refreshing voice on the idea of praying. It is as I have always felt prayer comes from the heart and when you pray from the heart Spirit hears you. I highly recommend this book!

This is more akin to manifesting than to petitioning a higher power. Maybe aligning ourselves with the grace that is always available. Worth the price of admission for the chapter on Advanced Prayer Techniques alone.

Solid and heartfelt
Some very nice insights into the nature of prayer, I definitely enjoyed the wide cultural variety of prayer philosophies presented in this book.
Next I am diving into Dr. Stevens’ AWAKEN THE INNER SHAMAN.

How to pray the shamans way
For a dyslexic reader I found this book to be written in a simple yet effective way. I might have to read it again as I can't remember it all. Absolutely perfect book at a perfect time. Thank you

I thought the first couple of chapters gave me some insight to meditation, but I found it to be a tedious read and gave up on it

Sometimes I surprise myself by reading books like this even though I am atheist. I think this book offers a lot of helpful practices for meditation and recommend it from that perspective.
