Edition DescriptionWorkbook

SynopsisEcstatic Trance contains in-depth information on 60 ritual body postures and describes them in precise, accurate detail, with clear illustrations. The first complete manual on this subject, presented here are age-old postures (one dates back 32,000 years and was inspired by a cave painting) along with newly-researched postures, published here for the first time. Learn these postures and access, energize, and integrate your creative potential. Practicing these postures also leads to new insights into healing, inner development, and rebirth. And combined with appropriate rhythmic stimulation--music and dance, for example--the postures can engender a profound change in consciousness, leading the participant to experience altered states of reality including visions and ecstatic trance states. The postures themselves do not promote any one belief system or dogma but are elements in an overall shamanic worldview., Ritual body postures found in prehistoric cave paintings and early effigies have their origins with the hunter-gatherer tribes. The oldest posture discovered to date is believed to be approximately 32,000 years old. It was in the agricultural societies that followed, however, that the practice of these postures flourished. Prof. Felicitas D. Goodman, Ph.D, (right) and Nana Nauwald (left) collaborated in researching the effects of close to 60 different ritual body postures. The book contains in-depth information on shamanic practices, detailed background on recently researched postures and brain research, and instructional photographs, providing a complete manual for the ecstatic trance postures. Rhythmic stimulation of your body, combined with ritual body postures, can produce a profound change in consciousness, enabling you to experience different areas of the alternate reality. This extraordinary book gives practical guidance that can help you achieve unique experiences through individual experimentation. It also describes how the ritual postures can lead you to such areas as healing, metamorphosis, death and rebirth, and divination, and presents the latest findings in the field of "spiritual archaeology." The body postures contained herein, when combined with rhythmic stimulation, can lead not only to changes in somatic perceptions but also to visions -- the "ecstatic experience." Rather than constituting or promoting a particular belief system, or dogma, the body postures wholly incorporate the shamanic world view. The ecstatic trance is part of everyone's genetic endowment. This workbook provides the guidance and instruction necessary to help you integrate the knowledge and insight gained from the trance experience into your everyday life. Practicing the ritual body postures can help you access and energize your own creativity. Book jacket.
