Critic reviews

In challenging times, it is a gift when a teacher appears to lead us back into the light after we have been walking the hero's journey. This requires someone who knows the path and has lived it, not just studied it. In Awakening Your Inner Shaman, Marcela brilliantly shares her personal story of initiation and how she stepped into the woman of power she is now. Her journey illuminates an incredible map that will guide you into the truth of who you are and your unique gifts and destiny.
Alongside her stories of bravery and exquisite growth, she leads us step-by-step into transforming our dark night of the soul into an amazing journey of healing. This book is so timely and important for all of us awakening to the truth of our soul.

Amazing Book!!!

I have been on my own spiritual healing journey for around 6 years now. I have a spiritual teacher now and she has been amazing! She introduced me to this book and told me she believes I will connect and relate to it. And I did! Through my spiritual teacher, I have been learning and earning my rites to the Munay-Ki. Tonight, I will earn my 6th rite. Marcela really teaches you about the medicine wheel through her own experiences and she really helps you dig deep within while reading. The performance from the narrator was wonderful! She really told Marcela’s story clearly.

Awareness

I enjoyed envisioning the many incredibly beautiful places visited during your journey. These places I’ve only read about. However, I look forward even more so to seeing this places in person. This book have motivated me to not just continue my journey for peace but to collect along the way my gifts to share with the world and others world beyond.
Thank you for sharing so intimately.

Magical

Beautifully written to allow you to step into her story and bring it into joy your own

A good look at the wheel

This was a good look at the Sherman’s when or the cycle of birth and death we all go through during our lives if we want to shed something and be free.

The author takes us through her life and how she started the cycle and her journey. She talks about staying in an abusive relationship and why. This is a take I’ve heard many times throughout my life. The author got out and grew while so many don’t. They talk about all the lessons they learned along the way. These are lessons we all can learn if we choose to do the work. It’s a long, worthwhile journey! Chop wood, carry water!

Rich!

What an incredible journey and transmission to the reader. A priceless gift of a book!
