What is Shamanism?

what is shamanism to me…..

it is a slow unveiling of your soul to yourself.

it is a reconnection between spirit and you.

it is a step, a breath, a heartbeat between you and what lies within.

it helps you to find more of yourself and to understand yourself at a deeper and more vital level. its a place where there is no judgement, no sentiment, no baggage. everything gets washed away and cleansed by bringing it into the light. if we can see it then we can release it. it brings up everything that is in the way of your light.

it is not about analysing or figuring out why this has happened or where this has come from, although sometimes this is necessary in order to be able to move forward. it is simply a sinking into the depths of you and accepting that you are the deep dark bottom of the ocean and the turquoise waters at the top.

you are the shark and the dolphin, the ocean and the sky.

shamanism is not something that can be learnt or taught. it is not a course to complete. a shaman either is one or isn’t.

a shaman doesn’t add anything to you. there is nothing to be added. you are perfection shrouded in guilt, sadness, anger, pain, shame, remorse…

once removed all thats left is the pearl.

it is not a constant merry go round of healing or of analysing yourself which brings with it feelings of never being good enough and can lead to too much focus on the self. suffering is inevitable in this world. it is how you choose to suffer that shapes the pearl. showing up amongst the angst and confusion of living and doing your best regardless is grace.

shamanic journeying and healing is something that anyone can do. if you are called to integrate more of yourself and to let go at a deeper level and to trust in the process of your own unveiling without the need to know or to analyse hindering the process, then a shamanic journey can help to bring about rapid change.

you dont have to be able to see for yourself. thats what a shaman does. they journey for you and with you.

sometimes in my own journeys for clients we can go to the depths and move unhealed emotions, entities or negative spiritual/astral beings that like to cling on to us, cords, threads, energies that keep us trapped and attached to unhealthy people, situations or memories. traumas can be healed rapidly without having to analyse them. and at a higher level we reconnect with our spirit, our own connection to our source of inspiration and god. whoever or whatever that is for you. often helpers show up in the form of animals, or guardians, spirt guides, angelic being, light beings, high energy beings. whatever is needed for your growth at that time will appear.
