Shamanic Pathways:

Introduction to Shamanism & to Shamanic Journeying

A Personalized 1:1 Training & Spiritual Blessing

Introduction

In recent times, there has been a remarkable surge in individuals feeling the ‘call’ to explore and nurture their spiritual gifts. This awakening is a profound recognition of our essence, as we are predominantly spiritual beings. By acknowledging this truth, we have already embarked on a journey of growth and blossoming.

Shamanism, one of the oldest spiritual practices known to humanity, dates back tens of thousands of years and spans across various cultures globally. Its enduring presence speaks to its deep connection with the fundamental aspects of human experience and the natural world.

At the heart of shamanic practice lies the art of journeying. Shamanic journeying is a profound meditative state where practitioners, often through rhythmic drumming or chanting, enter altered states of consciousness. This practice, akin to closing one’s eyes to see more clearly, aligns with the etymology of the word ‘shaman’, meaning “The One that sees with his eyes closed.” It serves as a bridge to the spiritual realm, offering insights, healing, and guidance.

This training is designed to establish a solid foundation in shamanic journeying, equipping participants with the essential skills and knowledge for a deeper engagement with shamanism. It’s an invitation to connect with timeless wisdom, paving the way for personal spiritual healing and growth.

Course Structure

A) Distance Healing, Energetic Cleansing & Your Power Animal (around 2 hours)

The initial phase of the course sets the foundation through a specialized session focused on Distance Healing and Energetic Cleansing. This essential step is designed to purify and prepare the participant by addressing and neutralizing a wide range of obstructive or interfering energies. This includes not only remnants but also fully active forms of black magic, curses, or negative entities that may affect the individual. These influences can originate from the individual’s current life, past lifetimes, or even be inherited down the ancestry line. By comprehensively clearing these energies, we establish a nurturing and secure environment that is imperative for the subsequent stages of work and training. This process is critical for facilitating the participant’s spiritual growth and development, ensuring they are optimally positioned to embark on their transformative journey.

After the comprehensive cleansing and healing process, this part of the training concludes with a journey I will conduct for the student. In this journey, I will enter the spiritual realm to find the Power Animal ready to appear and assist the student at this stage of their life. The discovery and integration of this Power Animal represents a deeply personal gift, providing guidance, strength, and companionship to the student as they continue their journey of self-discovery and spiritual exploration.

B) Shamanic Journeying Foundations: Three Zoom Sessions (Total of 3 hours)

After the energetic cleansing, participants will proceed to personalized training sessions via Zoom. These sessions, spread across three individual meetings and totaling approximately three hours, will encompass:
