Dance of the Four Winds (Alberto Villoldo)

Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove

Host Jeffrey Mishlove and Dr. Alberto Villoldo, author of Dance of the Four Winds, explore the path of the Inca Medicine Wheel. Dr. Villoldo believes that one of the greatest contributions of the shaman's body of knowledge is the journey beyond death and the idea that we can assist a loved one in making the journey back home.

He discusses how Western culture is motivated by the fear of death, whereas the Shaman has an experience of infinity and of a self that is not subject to death. He believes that the realization of knowing that we are free from the grip of time, death and disease is the most healing experience that we can have as human beings.
