A mystic is a person who has direct experience of the sacred, unmediated by conventional religious rituals or intermediaries… Achieving that sacred, or divine, experience requires transcending established belief systems, bypassing the intellect, and dissolving identification with the 'ego' self.

In this inspiring little book Michael takes us through key components of shamanism and what it means to walk in beauty. He shows us that to live a shamanic way of life means to go inward and connect with your own truth and access the wisdom of the spiritual realm to guide and inform you. Shamanism is a path of direct revelation. Each section of this book contains practices, poems, stories and meditations to assist us in building confidence, strength, and trust in our own heart as the source of our truth and to help bring us back to the spiritually centered path when we have wandered into the mind field.

Testimonials:
Enrolling in Michaels class, The Way Of The Mystics, helped me get through a really challenging time of my life. I had pursued a way of being for so many years, it served me well in the business world, -it brought me a lot of material wealth - evidence of success from an outward looking-in standpoint. I realized what I was really lacking was spiritual fulfillment. So after I’d achieved all the goals from a career and monetary sense, I was devoid of connection. That included not only with my wife and my children, but with myself. Working with Michael has allowed me to awaken the frozen parts of me which I had numbed out through addiction of all kinds. My sobriety and my spiritual development work with Michael and The Way Of The Mystics has set my life on a completely new trajectory. I had limited meditation experience before I met Michael; through the weekly practice we were able to go much deeper in the techniques of meditation. The guidance and techniques Michael is teaching allowed me to co-regulate and become more present in the moment and process whatever comes up in the now. Coupled with his lectures which provide intellectual framework, the group work that we do in the mystics is invaluable. I am so incredibly happy where my life is headed now, in large part I have Michael and his teachings to take credit for that.
- Sean Clark
Michael’s enthusiasm is truly contagious. His work as a teacher, shamanic healer, and communicator is brilliantly inspired and is filled with the love, light, compassion, and humour needed to leave everyone he works with discovering new ways to feel and be empowered.
-Sandra Ingerman, Shamanic healer, teacher, author
I've always been someone who wants to stay on the outer edges of groups. I want to be heard and seen, so i don't know why I'm hiding myself away. I don't even really understand how powerful this group is yet. 3 women spoke about their experiences when their nervous system overwhelmed and shut down; how can it be where everyone has the same wound they're all working on at the same time? Joining in the group has helped me to focus on coming back to be present with a feeling that I'm stuck with: the same thing repeated in relationships over and over.. Scary feelings from childhood that I've tried to rationalize and tried to understand but never been able to sit with. Being in a group is something I have to get used to, get used to speaking. Hopefully it will help me to sit with those feelings knowing I've got people who will listen and hold space and that I understand.
- Kim Thomas
Michael Stone has been a presence in my life for perhaps 25 years, since "Dance like No One is Looking", always freeing and deepening. "The Way Of The Mystic" explored our connection to all of Life, and catalyzed a release of old frozen traumas' body-bonds. Thank you, Michael, you are an authentic guide!
Be Well,
-Peaslee DuMont
I’ve noticed especially in the past couple of weeks, when things have bothered me or upset me, I’ve become aware. I move it, breathe, witness, integrate, and let go. It has been a wonderful tool. I love our group, our community, how we are all connected, and how safe it feels to be with these beautiful people. I am learning from my emotions, I often forget that my emotions are teachers, and this has been a good reminder. I have so much to walk away with.
- Jill Davis
I've been in the transformation process for over 20 years. I have processed a lot and I am glad that i'm here at this moment because I can really appreciate what you're doing, Michael. To be in your yang energy but being in your ying at the same time and being so loving and caressing and nurturing and that has allowed me to really practice that presencing. I have gained touch for the first time in all these years, how absent I was and how I couldn't see myself. Bringing that loving presence, self compassion, that I was not able to feel because of self authority that i was in charge and being so angry. That part of me, the nurturing part, was hiding away and that is coming out. Because of Michael’s voice, group and energy. It has allowed me to connect with that inner part of me, that self compassion, and love. During this last meditation while Michael was talking and I was feeling that presencing, my whole heart and chest was disembracing. This huge pain of feelings, how much i have missed myself for 75 years, but now I see myself and i'm here. Holding that in my chest, it was beautiful it became so clear what I took away from this. I am so grateful.
- Maria Olivera
Because of my childhood I have a fear of failure, because I had to be strong all the time. I didn't take risks because I didn't want to fail. I think that it's resolving.
- Andrea Nagel
There were many people all wanting to speak and no one was listening, it was so noisy. What I felt was their pain of not being heard or seen allowed to live. They were all hiding behind their pain. I said well no one is listening, i'll listen. No one is comforting, I'll comfort. When I was four years old I abandoned myself, and yet this amazing thing happened. I chose them and the outside world to experience my life through. So, I’d feel their pain in a twisted attempt to stop my own hurting. Because their pain hurt me so much. In this time of presencing, witnessing, and embracing, I touch that young child who is really me. This process for me has been sitting with the part of me that abandoned myself and finding that sweet child whose heart was broken from other people and by herself. I'm very broken-hearted and I take away that broken heart from this class. It gives me great joy to be broken hearted. Thats me!
- Peg Stearn
This course has helped me to listen with my body, I now hear on a different level. I can sense the emotion and the anxiety that's there. I am able to regulate and not be affected too much by others. I've taken a lot from this course, thank you very much Michael and this group. The sharings we've had, I've shared about my family, and know I just need to hold them. That's very powerful, that type of teaching. I can not do anything with others’ trauma, I can just hold them.
- Anelie Arao
Michael's coaching on taking this into work - in relationships, building a team, connecting people, and listening to them, it would be a no brainer that we would all be doing something together. But because i'm not listening to them and really getting where they're at and having it be out there it's been a barrier or blind spot because it's not authentic. Listening no matter the circumstance and at the same time doing the work on the inside to heal and to create space and slowing down and just creating more space, more safety, this group has been an awesome safe community in creating that. Really grateful to be here and see more of your work. Grateful for this beautiful open hearted energy. Really awesome group and really awesome work done.
- Sasha Stone
Presencing and perception has made all the difference to me, I can see much more clearly and into the distance. What I'm taking away from this course is to become more aware little by little and to be able to take whatever comes up and love it. To move towards integration. It's kind of quite easy to say and at the same time it's immensely profound and I am very very grateful.
- Felicity Lamb
I feel a strength that I didn't have coming into this. I take away the notion of leaning into the edges. And that's become a part of my daily practice. I think I'm still timid about it, I don't know how to assess if I'm timid or not timid. I find what Michael offers, and the group offered, so attuned and coherent. This has been a refuge because it has been a tough year, there's a lot of grieving still. I feel urgency and excitement about being called to be a part of the transformation and going into the future and wanting to do a lot of work before I'm ready to join the earth with my body. I feel an energy that's pushing me forward. We fall in love with the earth and we know how to take care of her. Feeling like everything is changing and keeping up with that is a challenge. Vulnerabilities in me, i always feel better and my body feels stronger. It feels like a refuge and I appreciate that.
- Maureen Lancaster
Doing this work has shifted my spiritual journey, the group has fortified my constitution and also my enthusiasm around this journey. My friends have remarked how different I seem, and that a change is very apparent. My reactions and my interactions have been so different than before, in that I don't let things penetrate my past wounds. I've come to a place of understanding that's made me glide across this river so much more easily. You can develop a sense of trust in yourself to practice your inner listening and guidance, which we tend to give away. In this safe place we've been in (the group), it helped us nurture that part of us and helped us trust our own gut. Even the people who were the most quiet in our group were very powerful. If I shared something that happened, they would privately write to me saying that they related or were there for me. This was an incredible support group.
- Ginger Sledge
Michael Stone is a brilliant irreverent reverend in his teachings and his spiritual work, a sign of a true wisdom keeper and enlightened teacher. Michael’s inspired words flow into your heart creating a fertile ground for learning and acceptance.
-Itzhak Beery, Shamanic teacher, author NYC
I have come to realize that all the work that I've done in your class has helped me understand and embrace and rewrite many, many stories. I got so much from your class, and feel like I will be able to give so much more now. Thank you ever so much for everything. I appreciate this opportunity to study and grow with you. Thank you!
-Heidi Blankenship
I am truly amazed at the depth of knowledge and practical content in Michael Stone’s programs. Michael is able to provide a framework of down to earth transformative applications to follow that create change in my daily life. I heartily recommend any program from Michael Stone.
