The Butterfly Book (2nd Edition)

The Butterfly Book: A Workbook for the Practice of Shamanic and Path Dreaming and the Dao of the Night, invites us into our relationship with the dream-world, a source of fascination for all cultures and peoples throughout human history. Path Dreaming, practiced as presented by Liu Ming, breaks down a three fold approach to enter into the directly available and non-dual experience of birth, life, death, and our true Nature (Dao). Using Healing, Divination, and Path, The Butterfly Book offers an extraordinary approach to an ordinary human experience.

With instructions for the practitioner to explore the processional (not-fixed) experience of a human being through sleep and dream, The Butterfly Book walks us through the shamanic, animistic, and alchemical path practices of many traditions that are easily accessed with over 1,000 glossary entries of common portents. From those interested in self-exploration to traditional medical applications and beyond, this essential companion workbook with accompanying dream journal brightens the profound human lineage of dream, and provides a living tool to reflect on our own complete experience. Our dream life has the potential to be naturally, and without effort, a limitless and uninterrupted dialog exploring our notion of ourselves and relationship itself, both realized and unknown.

*Please note: The Butterfly Book is specially bound in a "Lay-Flat" binding style used for practice texts.
