Original version in English

Shamans are spiritual beings with the ability to heal, work with energies and "see" visions. The essential
characteristics of the shaman are the mastery of energy and fire as a means of transformation.

A shaman may exhibit a particular magical specialty # such as control over fire, wind, magical flight, or
shapeshifting.

In contemporary, historical or traditional shamanic practice, the shaman may sometimes play the role of
priest, magician, metaphysician or healer. Personal experience is the main determinant of a shaman's status.

The distinctive feature of shamanism is its focus on an ethical trance state in which the shaman's soul is
believed to leave the body and ascend to heaven or descend to earth (underground world). .

The shaman makes use of spiritual helpers, with whom she communicates, all the while retaining control
over her own consciousness.

The ability to consciously go beyond! of the physical body is the specialty of the traditional shaman. These
journeys of the Soul may take the cham!na to the lower realms, the higher levels of existence, or to parallel
physical worlds or other regions of this world.

Shamanic flight is, in most cases, an experience, not of an interior imaginary landscape, but one that is
reported to be the flight of shamans beyond! of the limitations of the physical body.

Although the majority of shamans in traditional societies are men, whether women or

Men can and have become shamans.

Traditional shamans developed techniques for lucid dreaming and what today is called 'out-of-body
experience' # *these methods for exploring the inner landscape are being investigated by a wide range of
people .

Some are academics, some come from traditional societies and others are modern practitioners of non-
traditional shamanism or neo#shamanism.

-along with these techniques, the $C. or near-death experiences have played a significant role in shamanic
practice and initiation for millennia.

$lt*term 'Cham!n' comes from the /English language of the 0ungus language through 1usia.

$ntre los 0ungus de 2iberia is a noun and a verb. While the Oungus have no word for shamanism, it has
entered use by anthropologists, religious historians, and others in contemporary society to designate the
experience and practices of shamans.

Its use has grown to include similar experiences and practices in cultures outside of the original Siberian
cultures from which the term shaman was coined.

Shamanism is classified by anthropologists as a phenomenon of archaic religious magic

in which the shaman is the great master of ecstasy. There is extensive documentation of this in ethnographic
studies of traditional Shamanism. With this renewed interest in these ancient shamanic traditions, these
methods of dream work and being conscious and awake during sleep are receiving more and more attention.

As noted in this article, the "call" to shamanism is often there! directly related to a near-death experience for
the prospective shaman.

Traditional examples include being struck by lightning, a fall from a height, a serious and life-threatening
illness, or lucid dream experiences in which the candidate dies or has some organs consumed and replaced.
and so he is reborn.

The survival of these inner and outer beginnings with death provides the shaman with personal experiences
that strengthen his ability to work effectively with others.

After having experienced something, a shaman is more likely to understand what must be done to correct a
condition or situation.

5ost#cham!nico

While shamanism can be easily identified in many cane-gathering villages, and in some traditional herding
societies, the identification of groups

SSEfefises deTBFFHEB24Hffa$93GSGasilFFRStSjBgslffofbsayneeehSABfBRfaFga difficult in the

A society can be said to be post-shamanic when there is the presence of shamanistic motifs in its traditional
folklore or spiritual practices indicating a clear pattern of traditions of ascent to heaven, descent to the lower
worlds, movement between this world and another parallel world, are present in its history.

The society or tradition may have become very specialized and have recombined aspects of mysticism,
prophecy and shamanism into more specialized or more "fully developed" practices and may have assigned
highly specialized officials.

When these types of practices and officials are present or have replaced the traditional shamans found in
historical shamanism, traditional 5ost#shamanic usage is appropriate.
Knowledge of other realms of being and consciousness and the cosmology of these regions is the basis of
the shamanic and energy perspective.

With this knowledge, the shaman is able to serve as a bridge between the mundane and the higher and lower
states. Few, in fact, have the resistance to venture into these realms and endure the eternal difficulties and
personal crises that have been reported by or observed by many shamans.

Among the cultures that practice shamanism are the Native Americans in North America, the Indians of South
America, Africa, and South and East Asia.

0echno#shamanism

New technologies can improve the sounds of some musical instruments # such as drums.

Many people linked to '1ave' movements will enhance the sounds of music electronically. These groups
usually use techno-shamanic sounds in their music.

Many of these people hope to link the newest sounds and vibrations with extraterrestrial civilizations # like
those on 2irius.

They see this as a form of communication. I believe that many of these people strive to reach the creational
harmonic tones for the initiation and activation of their soul memories.

The concept of a Power Animal is universal to all cultures.

Tribal cultures will recognize one totem for the tribe, one for the clan to which they belong, and another for
the family one is born into. In the United States and other countries, the tribal and clan totem still exists,
although it is thought of in a slightly different way.

There are also totems for our adopted cultures, such as clubs or societies to which we can belong, such as
the Benevolent Club and Protective Order of Elks, the Loyal Order of Elks, and the Lions Club.

/even Christianity, the predominant religion of this country, has maintained two 0otem animals, these being
the pig and the lamb. Specialized items are also seen in organized sports, their names reflected in team
names. $example9 Chicago :ulls, Atlanta Falcons

The next type of Power Animal or Item is one that is personal to the individual. These totems are protective
spirits that help us in our daily lives.

0everyone has a totem. Even today most parents give a special protective power animal to their children and
tell the child what to do! protected during the night by that Power Animal.

They don't realize what they're doing when they give their little one a teddy bear.
We often unconsciously recognize the Power Animal affecting someone and use terms in which we give
away our unconscious recognition. Our heavens; hate includes animal references (Leo # scorpion # cancer #
0auro).

Shamanism

The first item of business for a potential shaman is to learn to travel in the other worlds, after discovering his
0otem or Power Animal. This knowledge is necessary to begin the long learning process.

Power Animals are generally a reflection of your deepest self and also represent qualities that you need in
this world, but that are often hidden or obscured.

A mistake people often make is to be dissatisfied when they discover that their Power Animal is not a
ferocious animal # like a mouse.

We tend to think that a mouse is not very powerful but that it is meek and fearful. What they forget is that
spirits are not limited to physical reality and that size is irrelevant. Your Power Animal may be a small mouse,
but in times of need this mouse can and will change its size and behavior to what is appropriate for the
occasion.

replacement .

When you make your first exploratory journey you are likely to encounter spirits who may represent
themselves as your 0otem or Power Animal. 2If you are already aware of your spirit, that spirit can greet you
and give you additional energy.

All mammals and birds are positive spirits. Any positive spirit can be your Power Animal.

A power animal can also be a mythical animal, such as a unicorn or 5egasus, or even one that does not exist
in legend or myth.

L$CC/?7 @ _ $finding your 5oder animal We all have power animals - animal spirits # 'that are connected to
