Hi, you recently reblogged a post about how Nanowrimo is not disallowing or disavowing AI because doing so is classist and ablist and in your tags suggested that you consider this "yikes."

Honestly, it kind of hurt my feelings as a person with a disability who occasionally uses AI as a disability aid. Let me explain.

I use AI frequently for word recall. I have ADHD- a lot of people do. Many people with ADHD, including myself, struggle with word recall. It can be extremely bad, but how bad it is day to day is variable, and not all people with ADHD struggle with this to the same degree. When my word recall is really bad, NLP's (Natural Language Processors) are practically tailor-made to find that exact word I need. As an example, I used AI to remind me just now about the term "Natural Language Processor," which, along with the term "machine learning," is frankly just a better description than AI for these tools. But I will continue using the term AI for convenience.

The fact that people do not imagine this sort of use in conjunction with AI IS a form of ablism. They immediately assume all use is infringing. If they actually talked to people with disabilities (who do use AI), they would discover these other uses, and perhaps the conversation could be elevated to a more constructive state instead of trying to make everyone who uses a tool feel "yikes" for using it. Many of us are extremely conscientious and well informed of the issues involved.

Consider that if someone has said something is ablist (or classist or any other -ist,) they just might have a point and that you should try to discover what that point is before assuming that it's fake. Don't take everything at face value, but don't dismiss it out of hand either. Listen to people who have differing opinions and try to get the nuances of the conversation.

When people think about AI being used in conjunction with writing and visual art, they only consider the egregious uses - which makes sense, as that is how AI is advertised; as a magic technology that solves ALL problems. But those egregious uses are not the only use of these tools. AI does not have to be a magic wand that replaces the creative process of an artist. I have given one example of such a use above, but I could list many more.

If your "yikes" is in regard to the ecological impact - I hope that the overzealous implementation of AI into everything takes the ecological facts into account and that is ammealorated, but please do not throw people with disabilities under the bus while trying to make buses less polluting.

//The only use of AI in this post was to help me remember the word Natural Language Processor - I know my tone is pretty formal and sometimes comes across as AI, but it's not.

Jeezly fucking crow, dude. It was a single-word comment. I hope you sent this to literally everyone else who commented in a similar manner.

I use AI frequently for word recall. I have ADHD- a lot of people do. Many people with ADHD, including myself, struggle with word recall. It can be extremely bad, but how bad it is day to day is variable, and not all people with ADHD struggle with this to the same degree. When my word recall is really bad, NLP's (Natural Language Processors) are practically tailor-made to find that exact word I need. As an example, I used AI to remind me just now about the term "Natural Language Processor," which, along with the term "machine learning," is frankly just a better description than AI for these tools. But I will continue using the term AI for convenience.

I also have ADHD. I also struggle with word recall. You know what I do? I google things. I use dictionary and thesaurus websites. I use OneLook, which suggests associated words, similar words, and similar concepts.

Not everyone who uses AI is stealing from artists, no, but it's well known that AI does scan people's art--almost always without their consent--to generate pieces. It's also been seen around places like AO3, scraping fics from unlocked accounts.

Personally, I dislike the implication that disabled (or poor--that's what "classist" means here) people are incapable of writing without an AI generating something for them. I've written 100k+ words on AO3, and all of them are mine. I've talked to friends, I've written parallel fics, I've rewritten my own stories, but those words are mine. I wrote them. A disabled person. To imply that I need AI to do that pisses me off.

And believe it or not, my primary dislike of AI isn't ableist or classsist or whatever. (I'm not even against all forms of AI! I understand that in some fields, analyitical AI is quite helpful--I've read that it's great at finding breast cancer, for example.) My primary beef with AI, especially generative AI like ChatGPT is the fact that:

It will just lie to you. It will just make up things. There are people who have used it in court cases (it didn't work), and there are people using it to write books--everything from cookbooks to mushroom identification guides. (Guess what amateurs need expert help with when they're starting out? You know, so they don't die?) It's also happened with animal care guides. AI doesn't need to be used in a generative context at all.

There is also a massive environmental impact that I rarely, if ever, see talked about.

I can’t stop thinking about hypnosis as music. And the key ingredient to a musician’s improvement and success?

Practice.

I keep thinking about hypnosis “etudes.” Little pieces, files, sessions that improve on one specific idea. Musical etudes may focus on a particular key, or articulation style, or making sure a melody is heard, you name it.

Who knows what hypnosis etudes could focus on? A set of etudes that deal with different induction types. Etudes that focus on varying your language, from visualization to covert hypnosis or NLP. And who says only hypnotists get to have all the fun? Etudes for subjects so they can practice various parts of hypnosis, from going under to memory play… there’s just so much possibility.

I love the idea of “composing” these little etudes. Maybe I’d even write them as duets.

Come here. Sit down. It’s time to practice.

Do you have any advice on building confidence and self-love?

Start by being honest with yourself about where your self-image comes from: • Childhood experiences? • Comparisons to others? • Critical inner voice?

Awareness is the first step toward change, it helps if you write everything down.

Confidence often comes from action and competence • Set small, achievable goals and follow through. • Celebrate those wins, even the tiny ones. • Confidence is a habit, not a one-time event so as you burn through your list you’ll start to feel more and more confident

You don’t have to “believe” every thought you think

• Name your inner critic (e.g., “That’s just critical Katie again…”).( this is something actors also do because they usually have a very powerful inner critic) • Do things even if they scare you, feeling scared is normal but following through will help you rewire your mind.

• Replace harsh thoughts with more balanced ones like “I am in the process of improving and I am allowing myself room to grow

When in doubt, speak to yourself like you would a close friend

• If you fail, try saying: “What can I learn from this?” • Recognize that imperfection is part of being human — not a flaw so love yourself, flaws and all.

That being said, social media and comparison culture can erode self-worth. So be mindful of that.

• Unfollow accounts that make you feel “less than.” • Focus on your own growth — not someone else’s highlight reel. Remember that no one is you and that is your superpower.

• Remember that life is very different compared to a curated Instagram feed so always try to look at people’s reality versus the image they are trying to portray.

• Be authentic, it will boost your self worth considerably.

Doing something you enjoy and improving at it builds confidence naturally

• Take up a hobby or a course.

• When you feel capable, you start to trust yourself more so try to make a list of areas or your life or specific habits that give you confidence.

• Keep a “self appreciation journal” with things you like about yourself, especially the things that make you unique. In fact , I challenge you and everyone reading this, to consistently write a self appreciation list for the next 30 days, listing at least 10 positive aspects.

• Practice self-care not as a trend but as a basic form of respect. Self care looks different for everyone so experiment until you find what puts you in harmony with yourself.

• Be around people who uplift and respect you and realise that, we all have a percentage of people who love us, a percentage of people who could potentially love us and a percentage of people who will never be our fans no matter what. There is freedom in that.

• If needed, work with a therapist or coach — outside support can change everything, don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Try to create consistent habits that revolve around self worth. Rewriting the brain can be difficult at times so consider using uplifting lyrics, affirmations (not woo woo ones, just grounded, honest ones like the example above), journaling and art to boost your self image.

An NLP exercise you could use is getting in a relaxed state and, from that state, remembering a time in your life when you felt super confident, step into that image, feel, hear, see everything and make it bigger and more powerful, visualise that confidence filling you up with a golden light, let that light fill your entire body until you feel overflowing with confidence then let go and go about your day.

Or another one could be looking at yourself through the eyes of someone who loves you and noting each aspect that makes you special to them (seeing yourself through the eyes of love).

A third one could be visualizing someone you deeply admire, honing in on what makes them special in your eyes and then adopting their beliefs and behaviours( be careful who you choose because the mind is very powerful)

Don’t wait for something to happen, build a very clear image of the person you want to be and start acting like that person would.

That’s all that comes to mind right now, I think there’s actually a more in depth post somewhere on my blog. I would need to know your specific situation to give you better advice. These are just some suggestions that, in my humble opinion, work.

Sending you lots of love, be kind to yourself. 🧡

[hypnomasterfrancois]

Hey! I’m looking to get into hypno(particularly as the hypnotist) but I’m not sure where to find good resources on how to do it properly hypnotize someone for the first time

do you know of any good places to find stuff like that? I wanna go into my first attempt well prepared

Congratulations on deciding to become a hypnotist! I read a lot about hypnosis when I was a kid and unfortunately don’t remember everything I’ve read. But here are some resources I can recommend.

I read this a bunch when I was a kid and it’s a quick intro to the theory behind hypnosis.

I read a lot of scripts when I was a kid, and eventually you internalize them and can come up with your own. Try different techniques like progressive relaxation, eye fixation, confusion, etc. Also watching videos on YouTube on how to do certain inductions helps a lot.

The book “Mind Play” by Mark Wiserman is a good read for learning hypnosis too. He talks about Zebu cards to help learn how to word suggestions, so here is a link to a quizlet of them https://quizlet.com/495361994/nlp-zebu-cards-flash-cards/.

And finally practice as much as you can! It’s easier to practice with strangers first and then hypnotize family and friends when you’re more confident. You can use hypnohookup when you’re looking for subjects. But even if the session doesn’t go as planned, have fun with it and try to see where you can improve and soon you’ll be a master hypnotist!

Also I’d love to hear how your sessions go and if you enjoy being a tist. Good luck!

The Intersection of NLP Eye Movement Integration and the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram: A Comparative Analysis

Introduction

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) has long been associated with cognitive restructuring and psychotherapeutic interventions. One particularly compelling technique within NLP is Eye Movement Integration (EMI), which utilizes guided eye movements to access and integrate fragmented or traumatic memories. Simultaneously, the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP), a foundational ceremonial magick practice from the Western esoteric tradition, employs ritualized gestures and visualizations of pentagrams to clear and harmonize psychological and spiritual space. This essay explores the striking structural similarities between EMI and the LBRP and considers the possibility that both methods engage hemispheric synchronization and cognitive integration in analogous ways.

The Structure of EMI and LBRP

Eye Movement Integration (EMI) involves tracing figure-eight (∞) or infinity-loop movements with the eyes while engaging in conscious recall of emotionally charged experiences. According to NLP theories, this process activates both hemispheres of the brain, allowing for greater coherence in how memories are processed and reintegrated (Bandler & Grinder, 1982). EMI techniques suggest that deliberate movement across specific spatial axes stimulates neural pathways responsible for sensory and emotional integration (Ward, 2002).

Similarly, the LBRP involves a structured sequence of visualized pentagrams drawn in the cardinal directions, accompanied by divine names and ritual gestures. This sequence is designed to invoke protective forces and create a harmonized psychic field. According to the Golden Dawn tradition (Cicero, 1998), the act of tracing the pentagram is intended to engage multiple layers of cognition: visual-spatial processing, linguistic invocation, and kinesthetic anchoring.

Shared Cognitive and Psychological Mechanisms

Bilateral Stimulation and Neural Integration

Both EMI and LBRP involve movements across spatial dimensions that engage both brain hemispheres.

EMI’s horizontal and diagonal eye movements mimic the process of following the pentagram’s path in ritual, possibly facilitating left-right hemisphere synchronization (Bandler & Grinder, 1982).

Symbolic Encoding and Cognitive Anchoring

EMI often integrates positive resource states during the eye-tracing process, allowing new neurological connections to be formed. The LBRP similarly encodes protective and stabilizing forces into the practitioner’s consciousness through repeated use of divine names and pentagram tracings (Cicero, 1998).

The act of drawing a pentagram in ritual space may serve as an ‘anchor’ to a specific neurological or psychological state, much like NLP anchoring techniques (Hine, 1995).

Emotional and Energetic Reset

EMI is used to defragment and neutralize distressing memories, reducing their disruptive impact. The LBRP, in an esoteric context, serves to “banish” intrusive or unwanted energies, clearing space for more intentional psychological and spiritual work (Cicero, 1998).

Practitioners of both techniques report a sense of clarity, release, and heightened awareness following their use (Hine, 1995).

Implications for Technomagick and NLP Applications

The intersection of NLP and ceremonial magick suggests that structured, repetitive movement combined with intentional focus has profound cognitive and psychological effects. In a Neo-Technomagickal framework, this insight could lead to further experimentation with custom sigils designed for EMI-style integration, or AI-assisted visualization tools for ritual practice.

Future research could examine:

Whether specific geometries (e.g., pentagrams, hexagrams) in ritual movement impact cognitive processing similarly to NLP techniques.

The effectiveness of LBRP-derived rituals in clinical or self-development contexts, particularly for trauma resolution.

The potential for EEG and neurofeedback studies comparing EMI and ritualized eye-tracing methods.

Conclusion

While originating from vastly different paradigms, NLP’s EMI technique and the LBRP share fundamental principles of hemispheric integration, cognitive anchoring, and structured movement through symbolic space. Whether consciously designed or stumbled upon through esoteric practice, these methodologies hint at deep underlying mechanisms of the human mind’s capacity for self-regulation and transformation. Understanding their similarities provides an opportunity to bridge the domains of magick, psychology, and neuroscience, opening new avenues for exploration in both mystical and therapeutic contexts.

hypnotherapy - I know what it is but at the same time I don't. Would a hypnotherapist be able to loke guide us to the void?

It’s a good question but might take a little explaining. So hypnotherapy is kind of an unregulated field. When someone wants to become a doctor, massage therapist, teacher or similar profession, they have to take a set curriculum of classes and become licensed by a federally accredited board, and remain up to date with their licensing and certifications.

When someone wants to become a life coach or hypnotherapist, there is no real standard, no board, no licensing requirements. You don’t even need any kind of professional training or licensing to be a life coach or hypnotherapist (which is kinda scary tbh)

I took a one-year coaching certification course in 2019 so I am “certified” in life & success coaching, EFT, hypnotherapy, NLP, and TIME Techniques - meaning I now have the knowledge to practice these techniques on myself and my friends/family/clients/whatever. But I only learned some basic hypnosis techniques and have a couple of scripts so I could record my own or guide others through it.

I did enjoy my class and I did learn a lot. But it’s kind of a meaningless piece of paper because the entire industry is unregulated, anyone can make their own coaching course and their own methods/techniques and tell people they’re certified in whatever they want. It’s pretty much just a free-for-all.

So all that to say, just because someone is a hypnotherapist doesn’t actually mean they know what they’re doing. They would have to continue their education beyond the basics to learn more advanced techniques and have much more experience.

I was not taught any techniques that would be helpful for entering the void or guiding someone else to it. Since most people in general don’t know about the void state, finding a hypnotherapist who knows about it would most likely be hard to find.

I do really like hypnosis tho and it works well for me, so a couple weeks ago I was looking on YT for a guided hypnosis for the void and I did find one, like only one. “Extra deep hypnosis - into the void”. Although I’m not sure if she knows exactly the power of the void, it’s meant to get you into a deep thoughtless state of relaxation.

I tried it once and she is a very good & skilled hypnotherapist. It is a safe & effective video and I plan on trying it again to enter. But as a warning, her channel has a lot of bizarre NSFW hypnosis videos too, so don’t go looking around her other videos unless you are 18+ and want to be shocked 😂😂

The holdout method does not exhibit statistical or adaptive overfitting. This is not an “always” statement. But a long list of work led by Becca Roelofs, Ludwig Schmidt, and Vaishaal Shankar has shown that it’s true. There isn’t overfitting on Imagenet, in the sense that the better the models on a test set, the better they are on new data sets. There isn’t overfitting in NLP question answering. There isn’t overfitting on Kaggle Leaderboards. If train and test are iid. (Or nearly iid as in MNIST), we do not witness overfitting. The holdout method works better than statistics suggest it should. All of the theorems we prove to justify the holdout method (usually doing some sort of union bound over possible tests) are laughably conservative about what happens in practice. You can even write theory papers digging into this conservatism (this one or that one). Let me be as clear: it’s possible for ML engineers to initially “fit the training set too quickly,” so the test error goes up. This certainly happens, and then they have to deploy tricks to “fit the training set more slowly” or whatever. Add weight decay or dropout or batch norm or whatever is trendy today. Go for it. I don’t even know the best ones anymore because you all are writing tens of thousands of machine learning papers every year. I’m not arguing against the art and skill of machine learning engineering.

You motherfucker is image generation the only application of machine learning you know of? One thing I've had to do in the past is to look for things in the genome, protein binding sites, RNA structure, whatever. if there aren't a ton of them to measure then it's dead easy to build a model that will learn the features based on totally irrelevant pieces of the genome, the genome is fucking huge and there are so many things you can incorrectly use as predictors.

Predicting Employee Attrition: Leveraging AI for Workforce Stability

Employee turnover has become a pressing concern for organizations worldwide. The cost of losing valuable talent extends beyond recruitment expenses—it affects team morale, disrupts workflows, and can tarnish a company's reputation. In this dynamic landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative tool, offering predictive insights that enable proactive retention strategies. By harnessing AI, businesses can anticipate attrition risks and implement measures to foster a stable and engaged workforce.

Understanding Employee Attrition

Employee attrition refers to the gradual loss of employees over time, whether through resignations, retirements, or other forms of departure. While some level of turnover is natural, high attrition rates can signal underlying issues within an organization. Common causes include lack of career advancement opportunities, inadequate compensation, poor management, and cultural misalignment. The repercussions are significant—ranging from increased recruitment costs to diminished employee morale and productivity.

The Role of AI in Predicting Attrition

AI revolutionizes the way organizations approach employee retention. Traditional methods often rely on reactive measures, addressing turnover after it occurs. In contrast, AI enables a proactive stance by analyzing vast datasets to identify patterns and predict potential departures. Machine learning algorithms can assess factors such as job satisfaction, performance metrics, and engagement levels to forecast attrition risks. This predictive capability empowers HR professionals to intervene early, tailoring strategies to retain at-risk employees.

Data Collection and Integration

The efficacy of AI in predicting attrition hinges on the quality and comprehensiveness of data. Key data sources include:

Employee Demographics: Age, tenure, education, and role.

Performance Metrics: Appraisals, productivity levels, and goal attainment.

Engagement Surveys: Feedback on job satisfaction and organizational culture.

Compensation Details: Salary, bonuses, and benefits.

Exit Interviews: Insights into reasons for departure.

Integrating data from disparate systems poses challenges, necessitating robust data management practices. Ensuring data accuracy, consistency, and privacy is paramount to building reliable predictive models.

Machine Learning Models for Attrition Prediction

Several machine learning algorithms have proven effective in forecasting employee turnover:

Random Forest: This ensemble learning method constructs multiple decision trees to improve predictive accuracy and control overfitting.

Neural Networks: Mimicking the human brain's structure, neural networks can model complex relationships between variables, capturing subtle patterns in employee behavior.

Logistic Regression: A statistical model that estimates the probability of a binary outcome, such as staying or leaving.

For instance, IBM's Predictive Attrition Program utilizes AI to analyze employee data, achieving a reported accuracy of 95% in identifying individuals at risk of leaving. This enables targeted interventions, such as personalized career development plans, to enhance retention.

Sentiment Analysis and Employee Feedback

Understanding employee sentiment is crucial for retention. AI-powered sentiment analysis leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) to interpret unstructured data from sources like emails, surveys, and social media. By detecting emotions and opinions, organizations can gauge employee morale and identify areas of concern. Real-time sentiment monitoring allows for swift responses to emerging issues, fostering a responsive and supportive work environment.

Personalized Retention Strategies

AI facilitates the development of tailored retention strategies by analyzing individual employee data. For example, if an employee exhibits signs of disengagement, AI can recommend specific interventions—such as mentorship programs, skill development opportunities, or workload adjustments. Personalization ensures that retention efforts resonate with employees' unique needs and aspirations, enhancing their effectiveness.

Enhancing Employee Engagement Through AI

Beyond predicting attrition, AI contributes to employee engagement by:

Recognition Systems: Automating the acknowledgment of achievements to boost morale.

Career Pathing: Suggesting personalized growth trajectories aligned with employees' skills and goals.

Feedback Mechanisms: Providing platforms for continuous feedback, fostering a culture of open communication.

These AI-driven initiatives create a more engaging and fulfilling work environment, reducing the likelihood of turnover.

Ethical Considerations in AI Implementation

While AI offers substantial benefits, ethical considerations must guide its implementation:

Data Privacy: Organizations must safeguard employee data, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations.

Bias Mitigation: AI models should be regularly audited to prevent and correct biases that may arise from historical data.

Transparency: Clear communication about how AI is used in HR processes builds trust among employees.

Addressing these ethical aspects is essential to responsibly leveraging AI in workforce management.

Future Trends in AI and Employee Retention

The integration of AI in HR is poised to evolve further, with emerging trends including:

Predictive Career Development: AI will increasingly assist in mapping out employees' career paths, aligning organizational needs with individual aspirations.

Real-Time Engagement Analytics: Continuous monitoring of engagement levels will enable immediate interventions.

AI-Driven Organizational Culture Analysis: Understanding and shaping company culture through AI insights will become more prevalent.

These advancements will further empower organizations to maintain a stable and motivated workforce.

Conclusion

AI stands as a powerful ally in the quest for workforce stability. By predicting attrition risks and informing personalized retention strategies, AI enables organizations to proactively address turnover challenges. Embracing AI-driven approaches not only enhances employee satisfaction but also fortifies the organization's overall performance and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Generative AI Does not Belong in Fanfiction. What about others?

So I wanted to do a more in depth analysis of AI in fanfiction because I understand there are multiple types, not just generative AI. I am not an expert and all of this information is a quick google search away

TL;DR Natural Language Processing AI is fine, and helps the visually impaired, as long as its not used for Gen AI. Neural Machine Translation you've already been using, but finding a person made translation will always be better. Machine Learning I don't think you could even apply besides training Gen and NLP, so don't even think about trying it. Computer Vision isn't the most applicable and you can get the same thing from having a Beta.

Natural Language Processing (NLP)

So this is what allows Chat GPT to understand what you are saying and pump out a semi-coherant answer, same with Character.ai and any chatbot you may use (including Siri). Now this can be used for a multitude of things that aren't Chatbots. It's responsible for text to speech recognition, so sight impaired readers may use this to generate an audio of your fic to listen to. Though as a writer, if you want to check things like tone, just don't read your fic for two weeks and you'll be fine. Or have a Beta.

Neural Machine Translation (NMT)

That's what google translate is, as well as any other instant text translator that isn't run by a person. You've probably used this in your writing before, and had little to no problem with it. In saying that, these translators are trained on a wide sample of language data, and still have inacurate results. Finding an actual translation by a person is both more ethical, and more accurate.

Machine Learning

This is what allows AI algorithms to learn, and what scrapers make their databases for. No.

Computer Vision

This essentially allows computers to "see" things in the real world. Could be tied to visual aid, but not super practical.

Conclusion

AI will always be outperformed by basic human services. The only exception is quick accessibility aid for the visually impaired. Getting a friend (or your future self) to re-read your works will help with grammar, spelling, and tone. Finding an official translator will always be better than an AI one. Other forms of AI just support the previously stated ones. People will always outperform machines, because they still have years to go to have a fraction of the intrinsic understanding we do of the human experience. That it what we embody with our writing, and no matter how much AI is fed, it won't ever be able to understand that. Even if it passes the Turing Test it will still fall short, and in fact still is.

"The Shamanic Drum" Audiobook Release

I am excited to announce the release of the audiobook version of my bestselling books The Shamanic Drum: A Guide to Sacred Drumming and Shamanic Drumming: Calling the Spirits. The Shamanic Drum is my definitive guide to shamanic drumming, a form of repetitive rhythmic drumming. Its purpose is to induce ecstatic trance states in order to access innate wisdom and guidance. The essence of shamanism is the experience of direct revelation from within. Shamanism is about remembering, exploring and developing the true self. Shamanic practice heightens the ability of perception and enables you to see into the deeper realms of the self. Once connected with your inner self, you can find help, healing and a continual source of guidance. To practice shamanism is to reconnect with your deepest core values and your highest vision of who you are and why you are here.

Drawing from 30 years of shamanic practice and teaching, I present the first practical guide to applying this ancient healing art to our modern lives. Through a series of simple exercises and lessons, I teach the basic shamanic methods of drumming. The focus is on creating sacred space, journeying, power practice, power animals, drum circles and the therapeutic effects of drumming. There are no prerequisites to learning shamanic drumming. Whether you are an accomplished percussionist or a total beginner, this user-friendly book will help you harness the power of drumming. Listen to a sample of The Shamanic Drum.

In my book Shamanic Drumming: Calling the Spirits, I recount my journey into shamanic practice and explore what someone should do if they feel the call to become a shaman. Many people in today's world are being called by spirit to become shamans. A yearning exists deep within many of us to reconnect to the natural world. It is a call to a life lived in balance with awareness of nature, of spirit, and of self. Following up on my book, The Shamanic Drum, I provide a new series of exercises and lessons that allow for a deeper understanding and utilization of this core shamanic practice. I have written a guide to becoming a shamanic healer that encompasses the power of the drum, of community, and of the accountability inherent in authentic shamanic practice.

This empowering book is a call to build relationships with helping spirits. Spirit helpers are the caretakers in the unseen world who want to support the earth and her inhabitants at this time. They are here to teach us how to gather wisdom from the spiritual realms, the natural world, the past, the present and the future in order to give birth to new ways of being. The shamanic relationship between humans and helping spirits supports our spirit's quest for self-realization. Helping spirits, if engaged regularly and skillfully, offer flexibility, creativity and perseverance in fulfilling our own unique path. The spirits are here to assist us in doing the principal, unique thing we have come here to do in a way that benefits all living things. Listen to a sample of Shamanic Drumming.

Virtual Voice Narration

These audiobooks use Virtual Voice narration. Virtual Voice is a computer-generated speech technology designed explicitly to create Audible audiobooks. Audible is an Amazon-owned company renowned for its vast library of audiobooks. Audible's Virtual Voice is a cutting-edge technology that utilizes advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to generate lifelike voice narrations for audiobooks. Unlike traditional methods that require human narrators, Virtual Voice can create high-quality narrations using synthesized voices. This technology leverages deep learning and natural language processing (NLP) to produce voices that sound remarkably human.

One of the significant advantages of Virtual Voice is the consistency it offers. Human narrators, while talented, can introduce variability in their performances due to factors like mood, health, or fatigue. Virtual Voice eliminates these inconsistencies, ensuring that every chapter of a book is narrated with the same level of quality and energy. I was hesitant to publish any of my books using Virtual Voice, however the quality of the narration is much better than I could have ever imagined it would be.

The Rise of Audiobooks

In the fast-paced digital age, the way we consume content has significantly evolved. Audiobooks, once considered a niche market, have surged in popularity, providing a convenient and engaging way for people to enjoy literature. Audiobooks have grown exponentially over the past decade, thanks in part to the proliferation of smartphones and the increasing popularity of multitasking. People can now listen to books while commuting, exercising, or performing household chores. This convenience has turned audiobooks into a preferred medium for many readers. Audible has been at the forefront of this transformation, offering a vast selection of titles across various genres.

For those who listen to audiobooks, the arrival of Virtual Voice will be seamless to the existing customer experience. Audible users will be able to easily discover and enjoy audiobooks featuring virtual voices, and audiobooks created with Virtual Voice will be clearly marked to avoid any confusion with traditional, human-narrated audiobooks. Customers will be able to listen to samples prior to purchase, just like with any other audiobook, and decide for themselves whether they want to give this new technology a chance. Whether you're a long-time audiobook enthusiast or a newcomer to the format, Virtual Voice promises to enhance your listening experience in ways you never imagined.
