rich tradition of Filipino healing practices, discussing their origins, world influences, and role in daily life. Enhanced with over 300 photographs and illustrations, the book combines years of historical research with detailed descriptions of the spiritual belief system that forms the foundation of these practices. Giving readers a rare look at modern-day Filipino healing rituals, the book also includes personal examples from author Virgil Mayor Apostol's own experiences with shamanic healing and dream interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe book begins with an explanation of Apostol's Filipino lineage and legacy as a healer. After a brief history of the Philippine archipelago, he describes the roots of traditional Filipino healing and spirituality, and discusses the Indian, Islamic, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and American influences that have impacted the Filipino culture. He presents a thorough description of Filipino shamanic and spiritual practices that have developed from the concept that everything in nature contains a spirit (animism) and that living in the presence of spirits demands certain protocols and rituals for interacting with them. The book's final chapter thoughtfully explores the spiritual tools used in Filipino healing-talismans, amulets, stones, and other natural symbols of power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWay of the Ancient Healer: Sacred Teachings from the Philippine Ancestral Traditions is sponsored by the Society for the Study of Native Arts and Sciences, a nonprofit educational corporation whose goals are to develop an educational and cross-cultural perspective linking various scientific, social, and artistic fields; to nurture a holistic view of arts, sciences, humanities, and healing; and to publish and distribute literature on the relationship of mind, body, and nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" style=\"padding-bottom: 24px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"detailBullets_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-nostyle a-vertical a-spacing-none detail-bullet-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNorth Atlantic Books\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePublication date ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eDecember 28, 2010\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eEdition ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIllustrated\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003ePrint length ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e309 pages\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e1556439415\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e978-1556439414\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e1.51 pounds\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003e7.01 x 0.87 x 9.21 inches\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amazon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46946560442557,"sku":"1556439415","price":15.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/3202\/0413\/files\/91N0SkclRHL._SL1500.jpg?v=1781657936","url":"https:\/\/spiritcafe.com\/products\/way-of-the-ancient-healer-sacred-teachings-from-the-philippine-ancestral-traditions","provider":"SpiritCafe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
