About the Book
To learn to think like a Shaman is to attune yourself to a magical spectrum of infinite possibilities, unseen truths, alternative realities, and spiritual support. When a Shaman likes what’s happening, they know how to make it better, and when they don’t, they know how to change it. The Shaman’s Mind – Huna Wisdom to Change Your Life is a book that teaches the reader how to align and transform their own mind into one that sees the world through the lens of the indigenous healers of old. Based on the Omega workshop by the same name.
