JAGUAR THAT ROAMS THE MIND
ISBN: 9781594772542
ISBN 10:
THE JAGUAR THAT ROAMS THE MIND is a journey into the vanishing world of Amazonian shamanism - an adventure of initiation and return - that explores the unique reality at the heart of the Amazonian healing system. Robert Tindall shares his journeys through the inner and outer landscape of the churches of ayahuasca and with the Kaxinawa Indians in Brazil; his experiences at the pioneering centre for the treatment of addiction, Takiwasi, in Peru; and his studies with an Ashaninca master shaman deep in the rainforest jungle.
Moving beyond the scientific approach to medicinal plants, which seeks to reduce them to their chemical constituents, Tindall illustrates the shamans' intimate relationships with plant spirits. He explores the three pillars of Amazonian shamanism: purging (drawing disease out of the body), psychoactive plants (including the ritual use of ayahuasca) and diet (communing with the innate intelligence of teacher plants). Through trials and revelations, the subtle inner logic of indigenous healing unfolds for him, including the “miraculous” healing of a woman suffering from a brain tumour. Culminating in a ceremony fraught with terror yet ultimately enlightening, Tindall's journey reveals the crucial component missing from the metaphysics of the West: the understanding and appreciation of the sentience of nature itself.
· Explores the three pillars of Amazonian shamanism: purging, psychoactive plants, and diet
· Shares the experiences of apprenticing with an Ashaninca master shaman
· Reveals the intimate relationship between shamans and plant spirits

KRISHNA IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS
ISBN: 9781594774416
ISBN 10:
• Explains how the Bhagavad Gita provides complete guidelines for the
spiritual use of entheogens - from prior mental preparations to the
integration of profound visionary insights into everyday
consciousness
• Examines Chapter XI of the Gita in detail to illuminate Arjuna's
hallucinogenic experience and expose Krishna as the ultimate
psychedelic guide
• Shows psychedelic experience to be an essential and ancient part of
the path to spiritual transformation
Known as a text of liberation and enlightenment and praised not only by Indians, but, also, by prominent modern thinkers such as Aldous Huxley and Albert Einstein, the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most commented-upon books of all time, yet one aspect has never before been examined: Arjuna's psychedelic soma experience with his guru Krishna. Scott Teitsworth explains how the Bhagavad Gita, through the story of the hero Arjuna and his guru Krishna, provides complete guidelines for the spiritual use of entheogens, from prior mental preparations to the integration of profound visionary insights into everyday consciousness. Examining Chapter XI of the Bhagavad Gita verse by verse, he illuminates Arjuna's complex revelatory experience and exposes Krishna's role as the ultimate spiritual guide - facets of the Gita evident to anyone with psychedelic experience yet long suppressed in favour of paths to enlightenment through service or meditation. He shows that psychedelics are indeed 'gateway drugs' in that they stimulate open exploration of the mind and the meaning of life.
Uncovering new depths to this revered manual of spiritual instruction, Teitsworth reveals psychedelic experience to be an essential and ancient path to ignite realisation in the prepared student, turns theory into direct experience and brings the written teachings to life.
