What is Shamanism?

 Shaman:   a man or woman who accesses an unseen world, known as non-ordinary  reality, from a trance like state, to gather information from helping,  compassionate spirits to assist and bring healing to their community.

The  word comes from the Tungas tribe in Siberia . It has become a “blanket  term” for witch, witch-doctor, wizard, seer, sorcerer, medicine man and  other mystical titles. Although not every witch-doctor, seer or wizard  was a Shaman.

Every  tribe had their “shaman”. The survival of the tribe depended on the  relationship the Shaman had with his or her helping spirits.

Because  they lived in a world without technology, they relied on the  non-technological part of their brain, their relationship with the  natural world, spirits and being in harmony with nature, to survive. The  tribe depended greatly on the Shaman.

The  study of Shamanism (Ism:), is the study of this magical person, who  lived in indigenous tribes all over the world. Throughout time, Shamans  have been known to practice their art form in Asia, Europe, Africa,  Australia , Greenland, North and South America .

Every  culture had their own traditions and ways of contacting and working  with the spirits and the natural world. The experiences they had with  this unseen realm were surprisingly similar the world over.

Shamanism  teaches us that everything in existence is alive and has a spirit. We  are connected to the earth and all of life, through consciousness…the  web of life…and we can contact and relate to all there is through this  web.

Shamanism  is not a religion. It is a spiritual practice that has been around  30,000-40,000 years…. some anthropologists believe over 100,000 years.  It is a very empowering practice that teaches us about our own true  connection to the universe and how to be in balance and harmony with the  one true heartbeat.

We  practice the ancient techniques of the Shaman.  We refer to ourselves  as Shamanic Practitioners. We do not live in an indigenous culture, so  we do not know what the original Shamans experienced. History has shown  us that we can use these old, ancient ways in today’s challenging times  for personal growth and empowerment. This spiritual practice brings us  back into balance with the natural world…even in today’s reality.

This  is what we call “Classical Shamanism”, the ancient ways that have  worked since the beginning of time. We still approach our sessions with  clients in this manner, but we also realize we are dealing with new  illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and things that are not  “spiritual intrusions”.  Shamanism is shifting and changing, bringing us  new ways to deal with new challenges. Shamanism is alive; it is in the  spirit of everything.
