The Practical Shaman – Soul and Spirit Online Introduction

Our soul and spirit combine in our physical bodies to make us who we are. This is a book about living but when we talk about the soul and our spirit there also needs to be a conversation around what they mean at the time of our death. Some of this book refers to an ancient Tibetan book written in 8th century, The Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Before the 8th century information in it was an oral tradition passed down by shaman and from which its heritage stems. But its tradition and information go much further back and is based on prehistoric shamanic intelligence. The ancient knowledge became part of the Bon faith which is still practised today. When Buddhism entered Tibet, Bon, and the Tibetan Book of the Dead became part of Buddhist discipline helping to make Tibetan Buddhism unique.
