{ "item_title" : "Dancing in the Shadows", "item_author" : [" Azim Nobeebaccus "], "item_description" : "Growing up in London, Azim Nobeebaccus learned to survive by hardening. Kidnappings, violence, addiction, prison and loss taught him to keep his guard up and his feelings down. On the outside he wore toughness. On the inside he carried terror, shame and invisible grief.Yet beneath it all, a quiet faith refused to die.That faith led him across an ocean into the Peruvian Amazon, where plant diets, ceremonies and working with traditional healers would challenge everything he thought he knew about suffering, healing and God.In Dancing in the Shadows, Azim shares a raw and deeply personal journey through trauma, transformation and service. This is not a romanticised account of plant medicine. It is an honest exploration of shadow work, curanderismo, faith, spiritual protection, healing and the long road of integration. From the streets of London to the malokas of the Amazon, Azim recounts experiences that forced him to confront abuse, addiction, grief and the parts of himself he had spent a lifetime avoiding.Inside these pages you will discover: - The reality of plant medicine beyond the hype- Lessons from Amazonian healers and master plants- The role of faith, surrender and service in healing- The challenges of integrating profound spiritual experiences into ordinary life- A practical and deeply human perspective on transformationThis story is about far more than ceremonies and visions. It is about what happens when the identities that once protected you begin to fall away. It is about learning to sit with pain rather than outrun it. It is about discovering that healing is not a destination but a lifelong relationship with truth.As the medicine strips away layers of armour, Azim is forced to confront not only his past, but his beliefs about masculinity, power, success, suffering and love. Along the way he encounters teachers, moments of grace, profound spiritual tests and the uncomfortable realisation that the deepest healing rarely happens during ceremony. It happens afterwards, in relationships, in service, in everyday life and in the choices we make when no one is watching.Through stories of initiation, loss, faith, protection, community and personal responsibility, Dancing in the Shadows explores the tension between the mystical and the practical, between the jungle and the city, between awakening and embodiment. It asks what it truly means to bring spiritual insight back into ordinary life and live it.This book offers a rare glimpse into the world of traditional Amazonian healing, while remaining grounded in the realities of trauma recovery and personal growth. It neither glorifies nor dismisses the medicine path. Instead, it presents a nuanced and deeply human account of transformation, including the challenges, mistakes, doubts and hard-won lessons that are often left out of the conversation.You will walk beside Azim as he navigates fear, encounters the unseen, learns from powerful healers, questions everything he believes and gradually discovers that healing is less about becoming someone new and more about remembering who he has always been.Part memoir, part spiritual initiation and part reflection on what it means to become fully human, Dancing in the Shadows is ultimately a story of remembering who you are beneath your armour.Whether you are curious about plant medicine, navigating your own healing journey, recovering from adversity or searching for a deeper relationship with yourself, this book offers an honest companion for the road ahead.You do not need to have sat with ayahuasca to recognise yourself in these pages. At its heart, this is a story about resilience, redemption, faith and the courage required to face what has been hidden.If you are ready to stop running from your shadows and start dancing with them, this book is for you.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/138/9798181387966_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "15.99", "online_price" : "15.99", "our_price" : "15.99", "club_price" : "15.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
