Everyone strives for success and tranquility—right? But have you ever thought of why? Simple. It is because we need peace of mind to live and let live.
One roadblock that can disrupt this is the lack of authenticity and purpose!
Nikki Hainstock’s “The Shaman Wears Lipstick“ is an awe-inspiring book that delves into the purpose of helping us live our authentic and most sacred selves in the context of shamanic healing, self-empowerment, and living in harmony with the world around us. Drawing from years of personal experience as a shaman, its many facets and in-depth training, Nikki offers a roadmap for anyone seeking to reconnect with their inner wisdom, heal old wounds, and live authentically.
Nikki’s approach to shamanism as a practical and deeply transformative tool for self-healing. Her journey began when a close friend underwent the Medicine Wheel process after experiencing a tragedy, which sparked Nikki’s quest for deeper understanding and healing. Having tried numerous other healing modalities—such as psychiatry, Reiki, and hypnotherapy—Nikki was initially skeptical. But what she witnessed in her friend’s transformation pushed her to explore the shamanic path herself.
Soon, she experienced her own radical shifts, which led to a deepening of her personal healing practice.
“The Shaman Wears Lipstick“ is part memoir and guidebook that beautifully blends Nikki’s personal stories with the teachings and practices that have shaped her work over the last 16 years. As a shamanic practitioner and teacher, Nikki offers a rare glimpse into her healing journey. This book provides us with a real sense of the personal growth and inner work involved in the shamanic path. Her experiences with Soul Retrievals, Affinity Removals, and Surrogate Sessions are shared with such vulnerability and authenticity that it’s impossible not to feel a deep connection to her powerful work.
The center of this book is the concept of Indigo and the Medicine Wheel, which Nikki defines as the practice of living in balance with Father Sky, Mother Earth, and Spirit Tree—all of which symbolize dimensions of health and the cycles of life. This principle is foundational to Nikki’s work and one of the most powerful lessons she imparts to us. Through her storytelling and the shamanic tools she shares, Nikki teaches us how to become more attuned to the energy that flows around us and how to align ourselves with this energy to live a more purposeful and authentic life.
Moreover, Nikki also highlights the importance of ceremony and ritual as a key aspect of shamanic work. These practices help anchor us to the Earth, our ancestors, and the greater cycles of life. Through ritual and other shamanic principles, this book demonstrates that we can reclaim our power, heal deep wounds, transform our lives, and profoundly impact our spiritual and emotional well-being.
As a teacher, Nikki’s passion for sharing these teachings is evident. She guides us through the Medicine Wheel, which serves as both a transformative journey of self-discovery and a healing process—which helps us rediscover lost parts of ourselves, integrate their shadows, and move towards our true, authentic nature.
Nikki also discusses the importance of community and collective healing. Shamanism is not a solitary practice but one that connects individuals to our ancestors and each other. Whether it’s working with First Nations communities, teaching in prisons, or guiding individuals through transformative workshops, Nikki shows that healing is a personal journey and a communal one. She has helped thousands of people worldwide reconnect with their inner power and live their most authentic lives through her work.
Her book, “The Shaman Wears Lipstick,” is a profound and transformative guide that will speak to anyone seeking healing, self-discovery, and spiritual growth. Nikki’s journey and wisdom offer a practical and grounded approach to shamanism, making this book accessible to anyone ready to step onto the path of self-healing and empowerment.
Whether you are just beginning your spiritual journey or are looking for deeper insights, this book will inspire you to reconnect with your soul, live authentically, and embrace the beauty way—a life-changing read that will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper connection to the world around you.
