The author speaks from her experience in learning and teaching, and presents the methods in an engaging, sometimes humorous, and personal way. Nicola describes topics such as science and the essence of shamanism, the body's energy field, as well as practical paths to take, such as the medicine wheel, nature painting, treasure maps, vision quests and breathing and meditation. Written in a light-hearted way, this book encourages us to know ourselves honestly, empowering us to take the opportunity to be the difference in our lives rather than thinking someone else or something else needs to change.
