Magical Passes - The Practical Wisdom Of The Shamans Of Ancient Mexico

'We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda's books... one can't exaggerate the significance of what he has done.' New York Times

Thirty years ago, Carlos Castaneda published The Teachings of Don Juan, the true story of his encounter with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian sorcerer who guided the young anthropologist on a magical journey into another world. Castaneda learned that for us to perceive any of the worlds that exist beside our own, not only do we have to to covet them but we need to have sufficient energy to seize them.

For the first time Magical Passes offers the key to this energetic conditioning. Castaneda reveals a series of body positions and physical movements that enabled sorcerers, and their apprentices, to navigate their own sorceric journeys. These movements allow the reader to achieve new levels of physical, psychic and intellectual vitality. By sharing this centuries-old wisdom, Castaneda makes it possible for readers to travel to some of these other realms, which are as real, unique, absolute and engulfing as our own world.

Carlos Castaneda is the author of nine bestselling books, including The Teachings of Don Juan and, most recently, The Art of Dreaming.

'Carlos Castaneda is one of the most profound and influential thinkers of this century. His insights are paving the direction for the future evolution of human consciousness. We should all be deeply indebted to him.' Deepak Chopra
