The Four-Fold Way

Angeles Arrien

Independent Publishers Group (Chicago Review Press)

"The soul never thinks without an image," claimed Aristotle. Indeed, as Angeles Arrien displays in this reissued edition of Signs of Life, shapes have significant psychological and mythological meanings embedded in our minds. Understanding the messages they convey and our attraction to them opens up a door to the secret workings of our inner selves and to a fuller appreciation of the art itself.As in her widely popular The Tarot Handbook, Arrien applies her background as a cultural anthropologist to the import human beings attribute to shapes. Examining her results, she has developed an effective tool to determine the connection between a person's preferences for certain shapes and the same person's inner, subjective states. In the course of using Arrien's book, individuals, parents, teachers, and therapists will experience the universal processes of growth embodied in images and myths.
Life, we discover, is art, and through Arrien's fascinating journey in Signs of Life, we gain a new perception of the omnipresent patterns and symbols that surround us.

The shamans' way to wholeness, explains Angeles Arrien, is to "gather medicine" by reconnecting with yourself on the deepest internal level. This "soul work" utilizes imagery, reflective questioning, dream work, and storytelling to help you integrate inner and outer experiences. Thus you travel the "fourfold path" of the ancients to find your personal truth-the way back home. On Gathering Medicine, you accompany this respected anthropologist and folklorist as she bridges past and present to teach you powerful shamanic methods for gaining clarity and direction. Arrien offers a fascinating blend of stories, spiritual teachings, and ideas for using timeless shamanic principles in your own modern- day life. Topics include: your body's inner wisdom; the shape-shifter; the four rivers (inspiration, challenge, surprise, and love); three types of vocal energy; Rainbow Hoop and Medicine Wheel meditations; and much more.
