What is Shamanism?
Jasmine xx
I worked for years as a professional Interior Designer, eventually running my own Home Staging and Design business. I see the beauty in my surroundings, and this has been my approach to life. This positive view was born out of a difficult past. I made a decision that I was not going to be bound by deep emotional wounds, as my parents were, and their parents before them. Though as an adult I was living a life I thought I wanted, my heart never ceased to remind me that I wasn't yet on the right path. Deep down, I knew I had to uncover what this was, and how to get there.
AND THEN.....
In 2016 a very big change in circumstances triggered the beginning of my spiritual awakening. At the time I didn't realize I was having one. By 2018 I found myself in Peru, coming back to myself in ceremony with Master Plants and the Shipibo Shamans. This is where I experienced a full visionary kundalini awakening. It was a life changing confirmation of my heart's wisdom, the wisdom of my Slavic ancestors and wisdom from Great Mother Earth herself. When the student was ready, the teacher appeared. It was then I finally answered the calling. After that, my life changed in ways I couldn't have imagined. I am blessed to have been shown this beautiful path.
By way of these experiences, I came to study Core Shamanism at The Foundation for Shamanic Studies. There, I learned to apply ancient healing methods which have been used by Indigenous cultures and all peoples of the earth for approximately 100,000 years and more. I am still learning and will continue to seek truth and knowledge forever.
Shamans exist in some form in almost every culture to this present day. The spiritual practice of Shamanism goes back 100,000 years and possibly more. We all come from Indigenous ancestors from every culture and can trace ourselves to a shamanic culture if we go back far enough.
The Shaman bridges the world of spirit and the world of the physical together. Bringing people into alignment with the natural world, themselves and others. Shamans walk in both this world and others, and this conscious shifting of awareness is called Shamanic Journeywork.
Archeological findings showed evidence that shamanic cultures from around the world, separated by continents and oceans, all had variations of the same practices in Journeywork, plant medicine and ceremonial honouring and cleansing practices.
What is Journeywork? It's an ancient form of meditation that improves with practice. Journeying requires the practitioner to enter into an altered state of consciousness in order to perform a soul retrieval, power animal retrieval, energy extraction, and more. Shamans believe that all illness is rooted first, in a spiritual imbalance. Healing occurs when the body's energy and natural healing abilities can be awakened and shifted to perform the desired effect.
