The quest for enlightenment has occupied mankind for millennia. And from the depictions we’ve seen—monks sitting on meditation cushions, nuns kneeling in prayer, shamans communing with the universe—it seems that this elusive state is reserved for a chosen few. But now, neuroscientist David Perlmutter and medical anthropologist and shaman Alberto Villoldo have come together to explore the commonalities between their specialties with the aim of making enlightenment possible for anyone. Joining the long-separated worlds of science and spirit, Perlmutter explores the exciting phenomena of neurogenesis and mitochondrial health, while Villoldo brings his vast knowledge of shamanic and spiritual practices to the table. Together they draw from the most powerful tools in each discipline to create the Power Up Your Brain program, a ground-breaking, five-week plan that helps prime the brain for enlightenment. With nutritional advice, dietary supplements, physical exercise, shamanic practices, meditation, and visualizations, Perlmutter and Villoldo guide readers, step by step, through a program to help them clear their minds from previous trauma and open themselves up to experience the inner peace, vast insight, and extraordinary creativity that define the experience of enlightenment, paving the way to successfully face the challenges to come.

Power Up Your Brain

“While everyone has a future,” Alberto Villoldo says, “only certain people have a destiny.” This work shows you how to find and manifest yours... and when you do, you’ll find that your life will never be the same. In this fascinating book by psychologist and medical anthropologist Alberto Villoldo, he discusses ways in which you can heal yourself and your loved ones by employing practices used by shamans of the Americas—which, until now, have been inaccessible to most of the world. The shamans of old called this powerful process journeying. Within these pages, you’ll discover that you have a four-chambered soul in the same way you have a four-chambered heart. In the first chamber, you’ve stored away the memory of a wound that derailed your des­tiny. In the second, you’ve kept the limiting beliefs and soul contracts that you entered into at the time of your loss. However, in the third chamber, you can recover the grace and trust that will make you whole again; and in the fourth, you’ll be able to remember the call­ing that is your very purpose for being alive. Using several myths and legends from around the world, along with stories from his real-life clients, Villoldo shares how heroes have journeyed over time to recover their lost souls and find their destinies. The practices of soul retrieval and destiny retrieval are also described in rich, practical detail, illustrating how you can become your own shaman and accomplish in a few sessions of journeying what can take years to do in a psychological setting. The book also explains how time is like a river that courses lazily to the sea, and on which most are content to drift along, but that deep under its surface is a stream that leads both back to its source and forward to infin­ity. It describes how ancient “seers” known as the Laika learned to navigate these currents of time—the time lines—thus teaching you how to find and travel along your own time lines to your unique, individual destiny.

Soul Journeying

The Heart of the Shaman will take you on a journey into the sacred world of the shaman, through stories, dreams, and ancient rites. In his latest book, Alberto Villoldo sets his focus on the dreaming and time-travel practices of the medicine men and women of the Andes and Amazon, whose wisdom radically changed his worldview. Villoldo shares some of their time-honored teachings that emphasize the sacred dream: an ephemeral, yet powerful vision that has the potential to guide us to our purpose and show us our place in the universe. The practices in this book will help you forge a sacred dream for yourself. They will help you craft a destiny infused with courage, and driven by vision. You’ll be invited to follow the footsteps of the luminous warrior and learn how to break out of the three nightmares surrounding love, death, and safety that have held you captive, and transform them into the experience of timeless freedom, known as the Primordial Light. This creative power exercised by shamans will lead you to create beauty and healing, and dream a new world into being. When you transform these dreams and accept that life is ever changing, that your mortality is a given and that no one except you can free you from fear —the chaos in your life turns to order, and beauty prevails. “Wake up from the slumber you are living in, and dream with your eyes open so that all the possibilities of the future are available to you.”
