Shannon Duncan

Coming Full Circle is well written and organized and the author's account of his long journey of healing deeply moving. I wasn't expecting it, but this book is one of my favorites in the psychedelic space.

Hopefully, if you decide to use psychedelic medicines to help heal your trauma, you will not need to go to the length of the work Shannon did, but even if that is the case, the healing and freedom from that trauma will be worth ALL of it.

Best quote from the book, attributed to Shannon's first psychedelic guide: "If you cut your arm, your body knows how to heal it. Your body knows how to heal you emotionally too, if you'll let it."

Present Moment Awareness is one of the better self help books I have read in a long time. Author Shannon Duncan really captures the contributing factors to help you live in the moment. He offers exercises and self assessments to help you work on developing the hard one habit of staying in the moment. I actually used the content of this book while I was reading it. I missed the start of a half marathon running race by 17 minutes. Instead of getting angry about what happened and fearing about finishing in last. What didn't happen yet. I thought about the book and staying in the moment. No matter what I did I could not change the fact that I missed the start so don't get angry. Likewise finishing last was a future event that did not happen yet so why worry. I just ran hard and steady staying in the moment and everything worked out fine. Actually I had a faster time than if I would have started on time. I credit the book for that. I would definitely recommend this book as a good read and I enjoyed it.… (meer)
