Resumen del Editor

In 2010, Nick Polizzi did something unimaginable. He assembled a group of eight desperately ill patients from around the world and brought them into the heart of the Amazon rain forest to put the mysterious medicines of native shamans to the test.

The healing journey that unfolded would change their lives - and his own - forever.

In The Sacred Science, we join Nick as he explores these primordial traditions and learns firsthand what it takes to truly heal ourselves of physical disease, emotional trauma, and the sense of "lostness" that so many of us feel in these modern times. We venture into a place where the ordinary rules we live by, even survival instincts, don't apply - where "the only thing to do is to step forward and be ready for anything."

Nick is not a guru or shaman; he is an ordinary guy who pieced together an illuminating journey, one experience at a time. In this riveting true story, we're shown the many layers that must be peeled away in order for us to find the truth of who we are and why we're here.

This book is a bridge between the flashy, fast-moving modern world and the forgotten ways of a healthier, earth-connected ancestral past. You'll find practices and principles of native wisdom that you can put to use in your own life, and you'll gain a new understanding of what it means to heal.

In the end, what will become of the eight patients who set out on this path with Nick? Will the exotic jungle medicines and harrowing rites of passage destroy them or give them a new lease on life?

Five will return with remarkable healing results. Two will return disappointed. One won't return at all.

My spirit is awakening.

This is my first audible book.
For the last 10yrs, I’ve been a homeschooling mother. When our third came along, the fake soul plaster I’d used to stay afloat, began to dissolve. Over the last four years I have gone from thriving mama, to physically strained and overwhelmed pain in the a**, to sloppy drunk, to overly excited spiritual tightrope walker....finally, to a mostly translucent version of me with boundaries that seem to annoy every family member outside my four walls.
A few weeks ago, thanks to a wonderful soul sister on a similar path, I began a class recently to learn about shamanic journeying, taught by Sandra Ingerman.
I’ve known for a long time that the world of herbalism and the realm of spirituality and connecting with the divine were my destinies, but I’ve allowed myself to derail countless times bc of my lack of self love and respect of the powers as connections that flowed in nature and through me. As I’ve crawled out of the hole of C-PTSD, depression, drug abuse, and alcoholism, I’ve given in to my yearning to be more than just the name on my birth certificate. To date, it’s been the most rewarding and painful struggle I’ve chosen to conquer. Waking up the demons, to send them packing on their way, and loving myself back up through my childhood and into my mid twenties has been a treacherous path to wobble. However, the way I’ve come to terms with what is necessary to be whole and present, is a joy that I refuse to deny.
The synchronicities and leaders who’ve stepped into my vision since starting this journey, and how they’ve intermingled, has mesmerized my existence. I can no longer actively participate in social media bc I can’t stop learning how to open my heart and mind into being the most complete me. Finding my way to the The Sacred Science and what this knowledge has thrown me into, is the transition I’ve been craving, and finally understanding that I deserve to have, in my daily life. Thank you for your journey and intention in growing and your desire to share that will all us other lost souls. I know I can heal myself and I will forever appreciate the tools you and your tribe have offered me, and my family. Blessings to you and your continued mission. ❤️

Pro-found

In every essence of the word this book is profound. It found me exactly where I am at on my journey and has given me all the guidance I have been asking for as of late. Thank you Nick, for your beautifully descriptive and brave display of your human experience. This book is exactly what we as humans need at this point in our consciousness and at this place in time. Lovely and and so resonant. Peace. -Dr. Tara Hogan D.C.

Magic.

This book is gift. It is not only entertaining and fully captivating, it is thick with wisdom. It’s magic is potable for those at any step along the spirit path, inclusive of advanced explorers and novices alike. Nick drops knowledge all over us, bolstered by both experience and research, with articulation, poignancy, and rawness. I laughed, I cried, I grew. It’s material like this that changes the world and helps steer us toward harmony and massive, cohesive joy.

Unique and powerful journey

A deep and moving journey into the world of the jungle shaman. A fascinating account of those who choose to totally immerse themselves into this world. Energetically narrated by the author.

A Road Less Travelled

I enjoyed the story and the narration. It gave me a deeper understanding of other cultures, healing, and reverence for our planet. Whatever your background, it will guide you to answering how we can be fully human, live fully, and love better.

Encore! Great read for any walk of life

This was an easy listen. I never grew tired of listening to Nick’s voice. This is a very down-to-earth book with very deep spiritual teachings. I listened and relisted and saved every word. Most Likely will listen to this book again from start to finish.

A story beautifully told and read by Nick Polizzi.

Authentic, honest and transparent...a vulnerability rarely revealed in spiritual guidance. Forever grateful. Being (truely) oneself fearlessly is the greatest gift we can give this experience of life.
