Shamanism
Where Two Worlds Meet
Shamanism – A Way of Living
Shamanism is a way of living. It was a common practice in ancient times and still continues to be practised today. Some call it a religion, while others view it as a set of techniques and philosophies; how it is viewed is irrelevant to some degree. What matters is whether or not it has a positive impact upon our being in way of healing. Shamanism is based on interaction with the spirit world. In ancient societies the shaman played a key role within the community, acting as a spiritual leader, healer, herbalist and teacher among other things. They were highly respected by the community, and their gifts and their wisdom were honoured.

Chakras, Vibration & Light
Our chakras are linked to our spine and central nervous system and are said to protrude three to four inches outside of our body and into our luminous energy field. They are said to spin clockwise and that each has its own frequency and are perceived as one of the colors of the rainbow.
Shamanic Healing Does It Work?
YES, it does work. Read case studies to see how shamanic healing has worked on different people in different ways. When facilitated by a professional, well trained shaman, shamanic healing can bring healing on levels that many other healing modalities cannot reach.
Shamanism is not some nonsensical trend, it is a well respected, ancient way of living, being & healing.
Gifts of Earth
Healing with herbs is another ancient healing method that can be found around the world. When used appropriately, herbs and spices can bring healing on many levels.
Herbs are a major part of shamanism, shamanic cultures often know much about our herbal friends.
Shamans often enter an altered state of conscious to talk to spirit to find a cure for a sick persons ailments.
