Produktbeschreibung
Judy Lemon was a professional musician with big dreams of being a rock star in London. After discovering that her trusted husband of many years was cheating on her, her life falls apart in a drastic way, and she hits rock bottom, turning to alcohol to help her cope with the unpleasant life crash. She begins to study various forms of spirituality, such as meditation, ceremonial magick and witchcraft, ultimately finding her way to shamanism. Listening to the voice of her spirit guides, she makes a trip to the Peruvian jungle, where she meets her first teacher, an indigenous ayahuasquero shaman. He asks her to be his student, so she goes to live with him in the jungle to learn his path, completely unaware of the difficulties of what it really means to be a jungle shaman's apprentice, particularly as a non-native White woman. Along with her teacher, Javier, and their helper, Olaff, Judy dives into the world of jungle magic as she becomes Machete Woman, transforming from an inept klutz who does everything wrong into an accomplished curandera, who is ultimately inducted into the shamanic Amazonian lineage of her teacher. As the trio settles in with various indigenous peoples such as the Jivaro and the Ribereños, Judy shares often humorous tales of the local culture and its practices from which the ayahuasca traditions originate. In addition to being an entertaining read, Machete Woman is a book for anyone who is contemplating embarking on a spiritual path that involves extreme discomfort and being way out of one's comfort zone. Judy shows that the aspirant will inevitably make a lot of mistakes in their quest for perfection but can eventually reach the end goal if they have a fierce determination to succeed. Along the way, she shares with readers the spiritual lessons that she learned from her jungle companions that can be used by anyone wanting to walk more consciously in the world.
Autorenporträt
Judy Lemon was a child with an overactive imagination and rich inner world. She began her writing career at age 7, crafting adventure tales about her anthropomorphized guinea pig family from another planet.Her early fascination with all things otherworldly eventually led her into the multidimensional universe of shamanism. A profound shapeshifting experience convinced her that she'd found her life's work.Judy is a shamanic practitioner, teacher, writer, musician, and Somatic Experiencing trauma therapist (SEP) who brings years of comprehensive training and knowledge into her work. She has studied and apprenticed with Native and other master teachers in Europe, the United States and throughout Latin America. Judy was initiated into the lineage of the curanderos of Rio Napo, Peru in 2005 through her first teacher. A later apprenticeship with another maestro took her deeper into the healer's world of plant spirit shamanism.Drawing upon her extensive experience with multiple modalities such as energy healing, ceremonial work, and trauma therapy, she creates an individual plan for each client's healing and spiritual development.Judy's love for what she does and for those who share her space is evident in the great joy and humor she brings to the work.
