Whisperings of the Dragon: Shamanic Practices to Awaken Your Primal Power Paperback – June 29, 2014

This book is not only eloquently written, but masterfully sequenced to coax and prompt my consciousness in precise and important ways. The anecdotes and stories, along with the guided meditations and applied consciousness exercises all help me recalibrate my awareness to that which is foundational and simple as well as profound and complex. This book contains a lot of wisdom, in my judgement, and it’s multidimensionality means if you’re curious about this book, it’s quite likely you’ll get something useful from it. I certainly have.

For those looking to change themselves, instead of changing the world - this book will get you more traction! I started reading the Castaneda material when I was a teenager seeking deeper truth on my life's path. I never fully understood the difference between "looking" and "seeing" clearly. Being of first nations descent, I research material that is simple in it's call to action as it pertains to our basic human experiences. This book takes you to the depth of self-awareness more than any other book I have ever read. The book came to me during a period of deep self-reflection regarding a certain spiritual "stuckness" I was sensing around working with my intuition and monitoring (mindfulness) and modifying (non-action) my relationship to it. I was searching for a higher level of embodied ethics when communing with others. This book will invite seekers to pay attention to what they perceive without language. To move into our silent reservoir so we can better listen. Deeply listen. It will teach you that when you look and gaze out into the world with only one sense (sight) that you are missing the core teachings of heart-based consciousness. A perception of depth that comes with feeling, rather than filtering our experiences through our thoughts. Lujan is clearly a teacher with clear perception, guiding others on the path to our basic human dignity and appreciation for life. I am deeply grateful for Lujan Matus and his teachings and look forward to continued studies with him.

It is not difficult to feel that this book is coming from a man truly in touch with source-point power. Lujan Matus' eloquent style is unique and always powerful. Lujan's ability to guide one through the difficulties of reaching one's true potential is a clear indication that he speaks from direct experience. "Whisperings of the Dragon" gives us all the tools we need to see where humanity was taken off course and how to return ourselves to the evolution we were meant to experience. A clear heart is what is needed to reach a state of internal silence, and Lujan Matus knows how to get one there. This is the kind of book that should be on all bookshelves. You'll read it more than once!

You must look at what you can't see and listen to what you've never heard and feel what you can't touch as well as, know and not-do. That's the "code" that is within this book. It's a hard read for sure!I recommend that you read the Carlos Casteneda books and the Eckhart Tolle books and then come back to this one. It'll be perfectly clear then and the message in this book will rock your world! It's like reading a college level book on spirituality; you just can't pick this book up and have it be your first experience. But when you're ready for it....wow!!

This book can not be easily skimmed over as it contains practices and insights which possess an innate depth beyond surface ideas. The reader may like myself discover more with each attentive review and heed not rush the assimilation of the material. I appreciatively discovered answers unlocking the doors constructed from other authors and new refreshing perspectives giving light to beneficial processes transforming the perceived mundane. I found the previous books to be appropriate steps to assist in readily understanding the material, although this book stands alone very successfully. Without a doubt this authors best work.

Amazing techniques described with lucidity here to turn off the mental chatter, the core of every meditation practice that is often overlooked, or just expected to happen.

For anyone who is interested in an Eastern approach to psychic development, you may find this book of value. While my primary interest is in other "teachings," this book had some very interesting discussions about how our life in society has some serious drawbacks (along with how to overcome those drawbacks).There are many exercises in this book, and like any program of exercises, this one will take a lot of practice (for someone like me, at least) to gain proficiency. There is one exercise in this book that I found invaluable. Even for those who do not follow this program to the letter, there is a good chance that you too will find some elements of value here.Any "system" can be made to work, if you are willing to WORK at it. It probably isn't that important which "system" you choose, as long as you choose something and practice it for as long as it takes to master it. The key is to find a system that you like and can stick to. The system presented in this book is not for everyone (no system is of course), but some people will probably really enjoy this approach. If you feel drawn to this book or author, or If you are looking for something new to try in your search for self-improvement, psychic skills, or "enlightenment" (as some like to call it), I recommend it. For some people out there, this will be a valuable book.

Absolutely fantastic book! Highly recommend to those that are called to it.

Book not worth it's value

The truth revealed by Lujan beautifully. And so is he, Thank you teacher

This book discovers a brief and effective way to stop the inner dialog. I also enjoyed very much Lujan Matus' clear description of a meditation for recapitulation. It's deep and easy to learn.

This review is not what is in the book but an overview of what Master Shaman Lujan Matus has gifted to this reader through these written words of wisdom. No matter the level of the seeker, this book is a MUST READ! Never expected the profound impact words in a book written by a MasterTeacher could have on one's being and journey. It shook my entire essence and issues where brought to my awareness like fragmentations of self, connecting loose connections, opening the gateways to more clarity of insights and a true meaning of wholeness by guidance to experience and rediscover the primal self. These teachings have lead to a powerful new awareness of the importance of one's physicality in this process many call 'awakening'. One can have all the knowledge in the world but unless you are guided to experience that knowledge, one will never gain the wisdom and life changes. Have read many books in 20 years of searching and can honestly say the author Lujan Matus has guided me to the runway heading towards an incredible and exciting new path of discovery. Master Shaman and Teacher, Lujan Matus, you have a place in my heart for eternity.Starting to read this book again so that do not miss a single precious droplet of this magical ancient wisdom extended through the heart of a Master to all readers.

This book will be amazing to reach a higher level of understanding! Thank you!
