It's always interesting to read about the subject of shamanism and it is even more so when it's written by a French who lives inside a moving experience to become a shaman. I found the meaning of the formula and the undeniable humor Corine Sombrun, as in his first book (in the Amazon). In addition there are links that are made welcome with neuroscience and ethnopsychiatry, so you learn things.
However I was hampered by
- The fact that Corine Sombrun continues to speak of grief that haunts her, force it becomes heavy, I felt held hostage as a reader behind the desperate messages it sends to the missing person, the famous and mysterious " You. " Bereavement, it seems to me so intimate! It says that the big pains are dumb. Why expose as facing the reader while maintaining a mystery ?? Of course she says it is the mourning that led her on the path of shamanism. But why talk about it yet? Similarly Corinne Sombrun talks about his sexual and intimate life with her new friend, what does that have to do with a book on shamanism ?? For me, there is a lack of modesty.
- The fact that the author does not assume its powers, see refuted, while the results are obvious after it
several people have been cured by describing the process. I was annoyed by so much navel-gazing, of immaturity, if not false modesty.
- A little side "My life, my work", like "I put on my jeans and I'm wearing one of 4 shirts I bought at Bon Marché" we do not care!
- Handling a man to make love with one of her friends, using a ritual forbidden: how horrible! even if the author feels guilty, it's still distressing to spread it in a book.
Short for all these reasons I hung out with a lot less than the first book, I had found true +, less tote.
