Shamanic Meditations

Guided Journeys for Insight, Visions, and Healing

By: Sandra Ingerman

Narrated by: Sandra Ingerman

Length: 2 hrs and 24 mins

Publisher's summary

The first meditators in history were the shamans, whose practices for contempaltion and connecting with the divine are echoed in virtually every spirtual tradition today. In Shamanic Meditations, Sandra Ingerman invites you to return to the source of human spirtuality - and experience for yourself the enduring power of these ancient practices for healing, guidance, and awakening.

With seven guided meditations - called "journeys" in the shamanic traditions - from a renowed author and teacher, the two-hour program features and overview of ahmanic principles, guided practices for finding your "spirit teachers" and "power animals", the shamanic initiation into oneness, and more.

Worst narrator in recorded history

This is absolutely the WORST listening expereince I have had to date. Her vioce is TERRIBLE and sounds like she is reading a grocery list. I wish I could get my money back. Shame on Sandra Ingerman for having such a big ego that she tried to forgo a professional narrator.

Get a professional reader

Would you try another book from Sandra Ingerman and/or Sandra Ingerman?

Not if she reads it.

Has Shamanic Meditations turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not the Gene.

Would you be willing to try another one of Sandra Ingerman’s performances?

No, she should hire someone else to read.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Annoyed by the rise and fall of her voice, it did not inspire a meditative mood. Every sentence starts out sharp and shrill then dwindles down. Feels like being on the edge of a very large wood saw. UP! then slowly down, UP! and so on. Not relaxing.

Any additional comments?

The naration was so distracting that I could not enjoy the message or intent of the rest of the book.

Very hard to get into

What was most disappointing about Sandra Ingerman’s story?

I really didn't get into the background noises and then when you finally get relaxed. you are hit with loud whistling.

Disappointed

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No I wouldn't recommend it because it's difficult to relax into the meditations. The concept of this book is wonderful and I was really excited about it but I'll be returning it.

What other book might you compare Shamanic Meditations to and why?

Seeing in the Dark has some wonderful meditations included. Narrated Janice Anderson has a beautiful soothing voice that augmented the material.

What didn’t you like about Sandra Ingerman’s performance?

She was to monotone and her voice had a cadence that simply wasn't pleasing to the ear. People drawn to this material are extremely sensitive individuals who would pick up on the tone.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No

Any additional comments?

I would suggest to the author that she hire a professional and redo this project. She has a great idea here but her voice does not create the relaxing feeling she's aming for. Practicing the meditation, I just felt irritable with the quality of the finished product. Any benefit was lost to me.

Potential to be great 🥁

Like other reviews stated this is a great book until the whistling starts. Then the peaceful serenity of the meditation is suddenly jarring and then annoying when the whistling continues. This is the only reason I'm taking stars away. If not for that this book would have been perfect!

Shamanic meditations

I have been following Sandra Ingerman for years,
And all of her work is absolutely wonderful, I work a lot and I don’t always have the time to go to circle so I used this particular guided journeys almost every time, and highly recommend it, is best to go to circle and together with other practitioners, but if you cannot do it, I recommend you highly to keep the work going and this one works the best for me! Thank you Sandy❤️

A great set of meditaiton

Here is a great set of meditation that may bring visitors to you. I had several animal guides and spirit guides show up.

Good but not great...

What did you love best about Shamanic Meditations?

I liked the meditations but I always had the feeling that something was missing. Perhaps it was the sound of her voice which is personal to me but I was not able to overcome the feeling.

Who was your favorite character and why?

N/A

What about Sandra Ingerman’s performance did you like?

I really like the idea of guided meditations yet I was slightly disappointed with the "canned" nature of the offerings.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

I believe that these meditations can be extremely enlightening and helpful to anyone who is on a path of self discovery. I believe strongly that this sort of work is essential for inner growth and Ingerman does a more than adequate job inspire of my personal preferences.

Any additional comments?

Overall worth listening to many times especially when life has handed one a difficult experience.

Very informative

Very informative but the Authors voice sounds rehearsed and robotic. The drumming sound seems a bit high pitched but maybe it's just my preference to have a deeper resonating sound.

Meditation

Nice collection of guided meditations. I like her use of multiple cultural instruments to aid the listener.
