CAUTION this is merely a collection of my warped thinking and observations. There is no logical order. I just ramble on. I can’t spell the computers spell check is worked hard (they should call it a nag in my computer). There is proper punctuation but not hear.
I do not speak for all ways only mine. These are my own thoughts, and you can believe or not-believe it is your choice. I have to be careful and remember that my belief is not the only belief. Every nation (person) has their Description of what a shaman is.
Shamanism is not a religion it is a practice a spiritual way of life.
It is the creators gift that uses the spiritual energy that exists all around us and within all things.
Shamans work with and for the spirit world as much as seeking the help and aid of the spirit world for our use. Remember if you take energy from the spirit world you should replace it. Why not use this returned energy to heal the world don’t be stingy return more than you take. STAND UP BE A WARRIOR FOR MOTHER!
You can be a Shaman and also have a religion.
Shaman healing is best used in conjunction with other treatments, not
as a substitute for them.
Shamans may use herbs to cure people.
A Shaman can be a male, female, or third spirit and when in their role as Shaman, are not human but spiritual. When a Shaman is working all sense of sex, race, color, age, religion, and nationality are set aside. In the creators eyes we are all the same.
Shamans channel the energy of the Great Spirit that is in all things.
A SHAMAN IS A SHAMAN GENDER DOESN’T CHANGE THE ENERGY THEY TAP INTO.
The shaman does the work of the spirit world he is only a conduit for there work.
There are several ways to become a shaman but most times you are called or you inherit the power. You can study all you want but if the spirit world does not call you won’t have the power.
A Shaman does his work by going into a trance and traveling to the spirit world.
Some shamans use chemicals to trance others train their mind to trip. The use of herbs or chemicals could put you in jail or you could trance and never return to this world.
It is my opinion the non-chemical entheogens such as music, meditation, breathing, light, color, movement and aroma are the best and safest ways to travel to other levels. It is the individuals control of the experience that makes the experience real. I believe any chemical use may hamper the individuals control and may take them to places they are not prepared to go. When chemically induced did you quest with the spirits or did you go into your mind? I have watched people on some drugs they could be manipulated on their trip. Others you could do with them what you want. When I trip (trance) my Guarding Angel (I am) protects me. I have returned to this reality instantly in emergency or if someone tries to control the trip.
A Shaman can train his/her brain to respond in accordance with her/his will in order to produce the ability to travel to the other levels. A shaman or medicine man will take a young apprentice and have a long time to train their brain. This is done by daily practice. Remember we only use a small part of the brain you are starting to use a new part of it. Like all muscles you must exercise it. It may take some time and effort to establish the ability to travel out of body, but once you have the ability you will be able to travel at will. If you stop using your power you will lose it (same with all your muscles).
After you have the power to travel into the other worlds you are not a Shaman. The people you serve give the title to you.
