Alberto Villoldo quotes:

Healing is not necessarily about curing. As your inner light grows - anything is possible.

December 21, 2012 represents a unique opportunity for renaissance, renewal and reinvention that people have waited for for centuries.

Shamanism is not a course, but a life journey.

The True Self is infinite. It knows no boundaries. Pure essence. Pure light. Engulfing the mind, the soul, the body, the invisible real, with its radiance.

Psychosis is a very Western phenomena.

The truest experience of life is when we dream awake.

With One Spirit Medicine , you will discover how to dance between the visible, physical world of the senses and everyday tasks, and the invisible world of Spirit. You will be like the graceful jaguar, the balancing force of the rain forest who serves as an intermediary between the seen and unseen worlds as it journeys beyond death into eternity.

The shaman does not believe in a division between the body and the spirit or between the visible world of form and the invisible world of energy

Only when all conceptions of space and time, life and death, are exploded, when the grip of the past and fear of the future become merely conditions of one's past, only then can one live in the present fully.

The shaman no longer looks for meaning in life, but brings meaning to every situation. The shaman stops looking for truth and instead brings truth to every encounter. You don t look for the right partner, you become the right partner. And then the right partner finds you. It s a very active practice focused on healing.

If the way of the sage is true, that we are all dreaming our world into being, then it has to apply not only to our private, personal universe but to the world at large.

There is a sea of consciousness that is universal, even though we each perceive it from our own shores, an awareness and a world that we all share, that can be experienced by every living being, yet is seldom seen by any.

The Divine does not come from somewhere above, it exists beyond time and space, and informs all life.

The universe is a Divine thought that has taken form.

The nature of the cosmos is such that whatever vision you have about yourself and the world will become reality. As soon as you awaken to the power you have, you begin to flex the muscles of your courage.

When you truly have the courage to dream, you have the courage to act as well.

To an Earthkeeper, love is not a feeling or something your barter with. Love is the essence of who you are, and it radiates from you as a brilliant aura: You become love, practice fearlessness, and attain enlightenment.

One Spirit Medicine opens the doors to the invisible matrix of wisdom where everything is intertwined, where every thought we have impacts every cell in our body and every molecule in the cosmos.

As soon as you awaken to the power you have, you begin to flex the muscles of your courage. Then you can dream bravely: letting go of your limiting beliefs and pushing past your fears. You can start to come up with a truly original dream that germinates in your soul and bears fruit in your life.

Patience is about understanding the right moment for action and the right moment for stillness.

Everything you experience mirrors a part of you.

We can change the world with every thought we have and every word we speak.

There are those who follow maps, and those who make them.

To see another with clarity and objectivity, one first must master stillness.

Fate is a story that's been written for you by somebody else. By your parent's genes, by what happened to you when you were a child, by your culture, by the fact that you were born a man or a woman. Destiny is a story that you write.

When we are no longer motivated by fear, we understand that every moment is perfect in its own way. We no longer dread what we can't control; we learn to respect the wisdom of Spirit rather than impose our will on situations. This is the path of genuine power.

When the waters of a lake are absolutely still, the lake reflects the trees, the sky, and everything around it perfectly. At the slightest breeze, with the smallest ripple in the waters, the lake reflects nothing but itself. To see another with clarity and objectivity, one first must master stillness. The slightest breeze of judgment or interpretation from the rational mind will create a ripple that shatters Awareness and returns us to ordinary perception.

The Munay-Ki is your invitation to dream an entire new world into being.

It is through your presence that creates your reality. What am I creating? I am a co-creator.

When we dream with the courage of our soul, we dream sacred dreams - fresh, creative, and able to infuse us with passion and courage to act.

To become completely healed is to become the healer - bringing the beauty and meaning you found into the world.

We now know that whatever you vibrate, you create and attract to yourself. So, you work on healing yourself in order to create peace around you. You become peace. If there is conflict living within you, you cannot live in a world of peace. The world mirrors back to you perfectly the condition of your love and of your intent. And if the world you re living in is not a world that is at peace and at joy and at grace, then you have to find peace, joy, and grace within you.

The dreams you craft at the level of your soul are very different from goals, which are tangible, measurable and set the future.

Life will drag us kicking and screaming to our destiny if we try to escape it.

Courageous dreaming allows you to create from the source, the quantum soup of the universe where everything exists in a latent or potential state.

When you see beauty all around you, beauty will seek and find you, even in the most unexpected places.

Having the courage to dream means following your calling today, in some way, despite the facts in your life that seem to be unmovable obstacles. And then, if your canvas is unfinished at the moment you die, at least you'll die an artist rather than a dabbler who talks about how she or he would truly like to live.

At the core of One Spirit Medicine is the idea that how we perceive the world 'out there' is a projection of internal maps that shape our beliefs and guide how we think, feel and behave. These maps are the unconscious programs that drive our experience of life and the state of our health. The key to optimum health is to upgrade these unconscious maps and limiting beliefs that have been driving us to a toxic lifestyle and relationships.

Before you can move in new directions, you must first let go of what's not working for you.

All deaths, all endings, are a path to the next beginning.

We often forget that growth requires sacrifice.

Change holds danger, but also the potential for something new ~ and better ~ to be born.

Destiny is saying yes to the calling we were born with.

To be a hero means being the author of your own myth.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are dreamers and those who are being dreamed.

The shaman is a self-realized person. She discovers the ways of Spirit through her inner awakening.

In order to tap into the power of dreaming, we must connect not only to the human story, but to all of nature and creation as well

True initiation is a response to an inner calling; it requires that you face personal challenges heroically and experience a genuine rebirth into a new way of being.

To be a seer is to walk softly on the earth and dream.

In the hall of mirrors, you are everywhere. Which is the real you? Find your original Self, the one who perceives all the reflections and is amused by them. Then you will recognize your path and walk it.

With imagination, we can hold a universe inside our minds.

If your faith in reality is based on the belief that time moves in one direction only, the foundation of your faith will be shattered by the experience of the future.

Everyone else is waiting for eternity and the shamans are saying, 'How about tonight?'

Life and death and rebirth live within me.

An inspired and inspiring guide to living with optimism in a world that is increasingly jaded and pessimistic. Uplifting, rousing, and challenging us to dream the world into being in a positive and creative manner.

The task is not to search for meaning, but to bring meaning to every situation you are in.

The dawning of the light of awareness is the new birth, where the sun rises and the day breaks within you.
