SHAMANISM

The purpose of Shamanism is to direct spiritual energy to the human world through states of consciousness, often involving visits to other worlds considered supernatural dimensions.

This practice has attracted religious scholars, anthropologists, and psychologists. It also appeals to those with psychological issues who have not found success with conventional methods, possibly due to dissatisfaction with the medical profession.

As with all decisions, there are both positive and negative aspects to consider when getting involved with Shamanism.

There is the potential for encountering dark spirits, and some plants used in rituals can be toxic and even fatal. Many who have become disillusioned with traditional religion have high expectations for what some term “new age” beliefs. Parents of young children with unresolved issues may also look to alternative rituals for solutions.

Here are some interesting points to consider:

• One of the rules of Shamanism states that when a person comes into one’s life, it is the right person.
• Any issues that occur are the only issues that could have occurred.
• When something ends, it is in accordance with universal law.
• When any issue arises, it is believed to be the right time for it.
• Shamanism guides the souls of the dead into the afterlife.
• Shamanism predates the foundation of all known religions.
• Everything that is alive has a spirit and is interconnected.
• There is a belief that we are the universe in human form.

In conclusion, choices are entirely personal, and many have positive outcomes.
