Shamanic healing, the oldest form of healing, boasts a rich history spanning over 40,000 years, transcending cultural and religious boundaries. The principles, universally unchanged over millennia, have been embraced by diverse cultures, including Native American Indians, Micronesians, Indonesians, Australian Aborigines, Maoris, Mongolians, Eskimos, Celts, Siberians, Aztecs, and early Mesopotamians. Even major religions like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism incorporate elements of shamanism.
In ancient times, survival was paramount, and the expertise of a shaman, often referred to as a medicine man, was essential for locating food, lost items, or animals. As we transition into a new era marked by spiritual evolution and the emergence of the 'heart law,' the focus has shifted from survival to transformation and transmutation.
We are currently undergoing rapid change and growth, making shamanic and vibrational healing on a multidimensional level particularly relevant for the new millennium. These holistic approaches, less toxic than conventional methods, align with the pattern of wholeness, promoting health beyond mere healing.
Essential Perspectives of the Shaman:
Everything is alive: All things possess spirit and awareness.
Energy and matter are the same: Everything is vibration within a greater energy system.
Interconnectedness: A web of energy or life connects everything.
Unseen affects the visible: Spiritual reality influences the material world.
In this perceptual framework, the shaman aims to foster balance and harmony in the spirit, whether focused on individuals, communities, or any existing entity. What sets the shaman apart is their unique methods, often involving journeying or entering a shamanic state of consciousness. In this state, the shaman can send their consciousness to the spirit world, retrieving information for insights or healing.
As we embrace the ancient wisdom of shamanic healing, we transcend the mere survival mode, ushering in an era of thriving, fulfillment, and the pursuit of our life purpose. The shamanic journey becomes a path to holistic health and transformation, resonating with the ever-evolving spirit of the new millennium.
