When we turn our attention to the incredible community of animal life and the teachings they have to share, we open ourselves to a vibrant, interconnected world full of spiritual truths and transformational insights.      Through myth, tradition, science, and story—combined with the power of personal observation—we can see how animals offer profound life lessons every day:   Ants readily demonstrate the power of teamwork.   Bears show us how to protect what’s most important to us.   Eagles embody the value of clear vision.      In Shamanic Power Animals: Embracing the Teachings of Our Non-Human Friends, Toltec shaman don José Ruiz takes a deep dive into this rich and vital store of animal wisdom and demonstrates how we can incorporate its lessons into our daily lives.      In the first section of this book, Ruiz explains how power animals represent a path to our own personal power and provides a foundational understanding of the animal world based on the symbol of the medicine wheel and its association with the elements of earth, air, fire, and water.      The second section contains a power animal compendium covering over 200 animals. Each entry includes exercises, prayers, and chants for use in communicating and collaborating with these powerful allies on your own personal journey toward awareness and healing.      The result is both a reference guide to the wisdom of the animal world and a road map for activating this wisdom within yourself.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56309672771957,"sku":"9781950253142","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781950253142_92a59668-677d-47fd-a81c-a36b40a53862.jpg?v=1786030903"},{"product_id":"9781938289873","title":"The Medicine Bag","description":"One of the main tenets of shamanism is a belief in the power of ceremony to manifest change in the physical world.

In My Good Friend the Rattlesnake, Ruiz, now a bestselling author and spiritual teacher, reveals the dramatic twists and turns he experienced on his own path to personal freedom and inner transformation.    Through this series of deeply intimate stories, Ruiz explains how he overcame his addiction to suffering and embraced a life of love, clarity, and self-awareness. In one example, he recounts his unexpected journey with temporary blindness, which paradoxically allowed him to see what truly mattered. In another, he celebrates individuality in spiritual practice, challenging the idea that it must look or sound a particular way to be authentic.    Throughout, Ruiz incorporates the teachings of his father, don Miguel Ruiz (author of The Four Agreements). The lessons he shares are practical, profound, and accessible, making this book an essential companion for anyone seeking spiritual growth and emotional healing.    Honest, vulnerable, and rich with exercises and meditations, My Good Friend the Rattlesnake redefines what it means to heal, grow, and live authentically.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492456931701,"sku":"9781950253494","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781950253494.jpg?v=1786529306"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-don-jose-ruiz.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
