Shamanism, one of the oldest and enduring practices, can be traced back at least 50,000 years and is found in various forms across different tribes worldwide. In contemporary times, the term "shaman" is increasingly associated with any type of medicine man or woman. A shaman possesses the ability to intentionally alter their state of consciousness, allowing them to journey into other realities to gain knowledge and power (energy). This acquired wisdom is then utilized for self-healing or to aid others.

 

A shaman primarily operates at the soul level, working with the spirit and facilitating healing on a profound level. With the assistance of power animals, shamans can access information stored in the vast data banks of the Universe. While tribal communities may no longer be the norm, shamanic practices continue to hold relevance in our society, arguably more so than ever. Central to shamanic work is the reconnection with nature, emphasizing the importance of living in harmony with all things and respecting the natural world.
