Awakening Your Inner Shaman - A Woman’s Journey of Self-Discovery (Book) by Marcela Lobos

Awakening Your Inner Shaman by Marcela Lobos is a warm, practical and deeply held invitation to women who are ready to step onto a lived shamanic path. Working with the cycle of the 13 moons and the 13 stones of the Andean Medicine Wheel, Lobos blends her own story—childhood trauma, apprenticeship with Andean shamans and the Machi of Chile, and years of teaching—with clear rites of passage, ritual exercises and meditative practices. You don’t need arcane initiation to begin; the book shows, step by step, how the maps of the Medicine Wheel and the hero’s journey can be used to recover inner authority, heal old wounds and reclaim authentic purpose.

This is both memoir and manual: rich personal testimony gives context and courage to the practical tools offered. Each chapter turns like a stone on the wheel, pairing story with exercises you can practise at home—simple rituals, reflective prompts and embodied practices designed to move grief into grace, confusion into clarity, and habitual reaction into conscious choice. The tone is compassionate and grounded: Lobos holds the hard parts of the path without sentimentalising them, and she offers rituals that are accessible for everyday life as well as for deeper ceremonial work.

For seekers, ritual practitioners and anyone drawn to a feminine, medicine-wheel approach, Awakening Your Inner Shaman is a doorway to self-knowledge and sovereign power. It’s a guide for those who want to live with more courage, presence and soulful intelligence—an invitation to walk the medicine path and to let the wheel turn you towards wholeness.
