Shamanism and Energy Healing: The Basics

Shamanism is a family of traditions that focus on voluntarily entering altered states of consciousness or what are commonly known as non-ordinary states of reality and interacting with the helping spirits that live there on behalf of individuals and communities. In this introductory course, Shamanism and Energy Healing: The Basics, we will learn and work with the key concepts of Andean shamanism and energy healing and awaken your inner shaman.

This class is for people who are new to shamanism or have some knowledge or experience with shamanism and energy healing and would like a review to increase your knowledge, experience and skills.

In this class we will learn 7 basic concepts of shamanism and energy healing as expressed in certain Andean traditions.

  1. Shamans work in sacred space. We will Learn how to open and work within sacred space. There are many ways to open sacred space. We will learn two.

  2. Shamanism divides the world into three parts: The Lower, Middle, and Upper Worlds. We will learn to access and move in and between these worlds.

  3. Everything is alive, conscious, dynamic, connected, and responsive.   We will learn that everything has a spirit, an energetic signature or imprint that vibrates with information pertinent to that energy field. We’ll learn that it is the nature of things to move, change and transform and that everything exists in relationship to everything else and responds to our most sacred intentions.
