Native American Shamanism with William S. Lyon

William S. Lyon, PhD, an anthropologist, is author of the Encyclopedia of Native American Healing, the Encyclopedia of Native American Shamanism, and Spirit Talkers: North American Indian Medicine Powers. He is coauthor, with Wallace Black Elk of Black Elk: The Sacred Ways of a Lakota. Here he explains the distinction between shamanism and sorcery. He points out that, in modern times, shamanistic rituals and traditions communicate readily across continents. He suggests that shamans use their telepathic abilities to recognize each other. He describes a number of shamanistic powers, including bilocation and teleportation. He emphasizes the importance of heart-centered consciousness. New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
