José Luis Stevens, PhD is the president and co-founder (with wife Lena) of Power Path Seminars, an international school and consulting firm dedicated to the study and application of shamanism and indigenous wisdom to business and everyday life. José completed a ten-year apprenticeship with a Wixarika Maracame (shaman) in the Sierras of Central Mexico. In addition, he is studying intensively with Shipibo (shamans) in the Peruvian Amazon and with Pacos (shamans) in the Andes in Peru. In 1983 he completed his doctoral dissertation at the California Institute of Integral Studies focusing on the interface between shamanism and western psychological counseling. Since then he has studied cross-cultural shamanism around the world to distill the core elements of shamanic healing and practice. He is the author of more than twenty books and numerous articles including Awaken the Inner Shaman, How to Pray The Shaman’s Way, Encounters With Power,
Transforming Your Dragons; and the forthcoming The Shaman’s Manual Of Extraordinary Practices. website:

Thank you to Jose for sharing this information. I resonated with the information he shared and over the years have felt called to assist with several crossovers. I would like to receive more training around this service. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks again, Kim
Jose’s explanation of the dying process brings to light just how powerful an individual’s mindset/thoughts are, given that such a mental construct could hinder/obstruct the “separation” of the Soul Body from the Physical Body at the time of death.
It would seem to me that the “Primordial life source energy” that emanates life giving force would be able to power through any such obstruction which impedes the “cycle of life”. (Perhaps more persistent when “recorded” on a cellular level). What is being described here seems to be a “mental overlay” that filters/obscures, in part, the underlying/foundational Primordial Intelligence. (The power of “Intent“ comes to mind.)
The Vesica Pisces (portal) is illustrated throughout Sacred Geometry most notably within the 2D construct of the “Flower of Life”. Illustrating the Quantum Vacuum, Zero Point Gravity, or the Singularity. Suffice to say, “The Portal”.
From my own experience, it is common for Shamanic Practioners who have had near death experiences to be naturally adept with doing psychopomp work.
