What You Are For: Inciting A Revolution In Your Soul

By Melissa La Flamme

"Melissa La Flamme possesses a totally unique ability to invite the reader into virtually every aspect of who we really are. This is an invitation to explore the known and unknown; the wonderful, scary, deep, dark, light, wild, playful, erotic, and amazing mystery of it all. What You Are For is a provocative, evocative shamanic journey. Enjoy the adventure " - Byron Metcalf, Ph.D., award-winning musician and creator of The Shaman's Heart - The Path of Authentic Power, Purpose & Presence. "What You Are For is a shaman's brew of poetic ayahuasca. A vine of soul, of death, of new life. To sit with these poetic, powerful lines is in itself a breaking open of our egos, their compromises and identifications which hold us back. This is a new kind of poetry. What the poet offers is medicine for the soul. Here we have shamanic poetry at its best, its freshest; a post-modern poetry that unites the old initiatory themes with crackling expressiveness. So read. Read and realize what you hold in your hand is a new-life-giving ceremony. This is Clarissa on rocket fuel. Enjoy " - C. Michael Smith, Ph.D., author of Jung and Shamanism In Dialogue: Retrieving the Soul/ Retrieving the Sacred, and the award-winning, Psychotherapy and The Sacred. "The poet of this impassioned collection of soul-rallying gems is aptly named; 'Melissa' is associated with honey as sweetness and healing balm, and 'La Flamme' any measure of fire - from seductive candlelight to volcanic eruption - a spectrum the poet deftly plays. Altogether engaging." - Mary Trainor-Brigham, M.A., author of DEEP CINEMA: Film as Shamanic Initiation.
