Introduction to Shamanism

Shamanism is an ancient form of spiritual practice. Some form of it has existed on our planet for at least 40,000 years. The shamanic worldview accepts that other realities exist simultaneously with our physical one, that all beings have a spirit, and that everything is interconnected in a great web of life.

A shaman is a practitioner (female or male) who enters a non-ordinary state of consciousness (called a shamanic journey) to effect healing on behalf of others. They often use some form of percussive stimulus (from the rhythmic beat of a drum or rattle) to access the shamanic journey and travel into other realities to meet with helping spirits and power animals. They use the shamanic journey to access direct revelation, spiritual guidance and healing experiences.
