Roger Walsh, MD, Ph.D: Shamanism’s Accessibility

Dr. Roger Walsh has not only studied many of the great spiritual traditions of the world, but has spent years practicing many of their contemplative techniques and spiritual practices. As he sees it and has stated, “At the present time, our culture is undergoing a remarkable but subtle transformation due to the influx of the world’s contemplative practices together with their spiritualities, psychologies, and philosophies. These are expanding our minds and our perspectives and producing a profound but quiet and as yet little recognized revolution.”

In his latest book, The World of Shamanism, he focuses on humanity’s oldest spiritual tradition, believing it offers an easier introduction to spiritual experiences for those of us in Western societies than many of the world’s other effective spiritual practices.
