Shamanism, Family Constellations, Psychotherapy, the Christian Healing Tradition - their similarities and differences, illustrated with examples from a practitioner of all these methods.August Thalhamer, Austrian Catholic theologian, psychotherapist, and urban shaman is answering his calling to build bridges. Over the last half century, Thalhamer has been able to discover the harmony resonating between these (seemingly mutually-exclusive) worldviews, in theory and in practice. Here, he outlines the academic and intuitive paths that led to his own shamanic way of healing. This guide is a one-stop reference work for anyone interested in Shamanism. If your curiosity has ever left you wondering: What value does shamanic wisdom, ancient and contemporary, have for the Western world and how can we integrate it into our lives? This book will provide you with a solid harbor for launching your own personal journey, one you can always return to for inspiration.Univ.-Prof. Dr. H. H. Büttner, Wismar, wrote in the "Ärzteblatt Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 8/2015" (the medical journal for the German edition): "This book actually belongs in the hands of medical students and young doctors, because, by the way, it conveys western education, tradition and partly humanistic dimensions of medicine. We should again seek out the foundations on which the edifice of our philosophical and religious culture rests, also with regard to our mental health. Today's medical students would, of course, be recommended to study philosophy again in addition to physics (which, by the way, was abolished by the Prussian Ministry of Culture in 1861). I enjoyed reading and thinking a lot."

Furthermore, when there are lower levels of it in the blood, less of it is eliminated by the urine, which leads to the formation of kidney stones.This book includes the latest studies carried out which confirm the enormous importance of magnesium for our health.
