Shamanism offers us a way to reach through the veils of what we percieve to be reality, to alter our perception and deepen our understanding so that we may reconstruct and influence our reality towards health and balance.

Shamanism is an ancient way of awareness, an awareness of energy, of consciousness. It is a term used to describe the practices of indigenous people from all over the world who were and are the healers within their community i.e. the Medicine People, the Witches, the Shamans. These people are in tune with the Earth and know how to touch the soul in everything in order to keep a healthy balance within each individual and therefore within the community. For these people there is no separation between daily life and Spirit, they know that all things are connected and disconnection equals dis-ease. Although our modern times seem very far removed from the experience of indigenous people the needs and expression of the human soul is still the same in its desire for connection -love, community and creativity.

Throughout human history and across cultures, the Shaman was the one in the community to whom people would go to help them heal spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Living Shamanically
We have given ourselves away through the pressures of a material driven society, we have been encouraged to hide within the false belief that self worth is accumulation of external power and possessions. Now is the time to come back to our inner knowledge, our inner connection. It is the time to re awaken our ability to sustain life through our relationship to (rather than our control over) the earth and nature. It is a time to remember who we are, greater in consciousness than the boxes of beliefs we have squeezed ourselves into. It is only through greater awareness, the Eagles eye view, the deeper breath, the pause in thought, that we can embrace the changes that are coming and only with a greater awareness can we ride these changes to dream and live the best of human consciousness.
