Shamanism is the most ancient spiritual and healing practice known to man. In fact, shamanism and shamanic healing date back to over 100,000 years and have been practiced all across the globe — well before our current technologies of communication were possible.
Shamanism is an ancient collection of traditions based on the act of voluntarily accessing and connecting to non-ordinary states — or spirit realms — for wisdom and healing. The word “shaman” means “spiritual healer,” or, “one who sees in the dark.”
Shamans teach that everything is spirited, that all things are interconnected and alive, including (but certainly not limited to) the Earth itself, the stars in the sky, and even the wind in the air. It is the shaman’s role to demonstrate and maintain the harmonious balance of humankind, nature, and spirit.
As a shamanic practitioner or healer, I visit that invisible and mysterious place outside of time and physical reality. It’s been called The Spirit Realm, Non-Ordinary Reality, The Parallel Universe, The Other World (Celtic traditions), Dreamtime (Australian aborigines), and countless others. This spiritual place is where shamans go during their shamanic journeys. I enter these altered states of consciousness in order to communicate and connect with helping spirits to retrieve information. The information attained is generally brought back for healing purposes.
It is important to note that as a shaman, I believe that despite my accessibility to the spirit realm, all healing is self-healing. I know how to move and manipulate the energy of another’s body and can pass wisdom through from the spirit realm, but true healing must take place inside the spirit of the individual. In other words, a person must be willing and ready to take full responsibility for his or her own healing . Please note that shamanic healing is not to be a substitute for conventional medical or psychological services, but is to instead be worked with adjunct to.
