    Shamans and Robots - On Ritual...

    This book is a profound exploration of the external influences that shape human consciousness, from healing rituals to digital devices. In this voyage through thousands of years of psychosomatic healing, distinguished anthropologist and sociologist Roger Bartra examines the placebo effect as a key to our understanding of human consciousness. Shamans and Robots demonstrates how biology and technology become intertwined within human culture by using the various histories of ritual and symbolic healing to speculate about future developments in artificial intelligence. 
 
 
 
Charting the history of the placebo effect through medieval healing, shamanism, and early psychoanalytic practices, Bartra posits that consciousness is not simply the province of the mind but something equally shaped by external systems and objects. He finds evidence of this "exocerebrum"—the extension of our brains outside the body—in the shamanistic concept of the placebo, in which external objects heal our bodies, and in modern technical devices like prostheses or robots, whose development of a mechanical consciousness would have to mimic, and in turn elucidate, the processes involved in the creation of consciousness in humans. Through this radical concept, he analyzes digital media's relationship to the functions of the human brain and probes the possibility of artificial consciousness.

    Transform the way you feel by embedding more compassion, calm, and joy into your nervous system.Are you feeling dysregulated—anxious, overwhelmed, or shut down? Many of us are, and understandably so. Our bodies are constantly responding to cues of safety or danger, and we are powerfully impacted by each other’s emotional struggles, collective events, and the ever-changing nature of this imperfect world. The question is: Can we find our way back to a state of grounded, calm, openhearted connection with ourselves and others?In Finding Safety in Your Nervous System, Deb Dana provides a valuable blueprint for building resilience and finding safety through the many ups and downs of life. Drawing from the wisdom of Polyvagal Theory, she skillfully shows us how to become conscious navigators of our nervous system—inhabiting a comforting inner sanctuary where we can finally relax, connect, and breathe again. Each guided audio session offers valuable insights that invite us to:• Explore proven ways to tune into and befriend your nervous system, so you can feel safe, calm, and regulated, maybe for the first time in years.• Gain science-backed tools to move from “flight, fight, or freeze” survival mode into a sense of groundedness and emotional balance.• Discover what safety and “home” means to your nervous system and what sensations, cues, and practices can help you return there when you need it most.The beauty of this work is that it’s deeply personal. What brings safety to one person may not be the same for another. The invitation is to gently explore your own nervous system and notice, What helps me feel a little more anchored right now? With practice, you begin to recognize the pathways that bring you a felt sense of regulation. Instead of living at the mercy of stress and overwhelm, you’ll discover relief within the innate wisdom of your own body—guiding you back, again and again, to the steady ground of safety within.
