I have previously written a post touching on the intersection of shamanism and sexuality, where I briefly touched upon shamanic healing for issues of sexual origin or nature. I intend to expand upon that to address healing more directly. First, I shall explain that spiritual healing does not replace medical care or professional therapy. Shamanic healing addresses the underlying spiritual causes of issues.

I have been fascinated by the legend of Bigfoot since I was a boy and saw the 6 Million dollar Man episode where Andre the Giant played the creature. I will say upfront that I have never had a bigfoot encounter, and I am not 100% sure they exist. What I do know is that there is a lot of anomalous evidence. Bigfoot Sightings Like UFO sightings, I believe many bigfoot sightings can be explained away. I think a lot of times, people are seeing bears or hunters from a distance. I also think there certainly have been hoaxes. But not everything; every photo, video, footprint, hair sample, anomalous D ..read more

At least once a month, someone contacts me who feels drawn to learn shamanism but who can't visualize. The inability to see pictures in one's mind is called Aphantaasia. According to neuroscience, there is no cure for Aphantasia. Some people have overcome their failure to make pictures in their mind's eye. I was born with several congenital disabilities; doctors told my parents I would never walk. Not only did I learn how to walk, but I also played sports and learned and taught martial arts. Human beings are incredibly flexible and resilient, but it takes persistence. Learning shamanism invol ..read more

Upon looking, I was surprised to find a vibrant community full of shamanic teachers and practitioners in the Pine Tree State. Now that I have been ..read more

Many people turn to shamanic healing in the face of acute and chronic illnesses. As a tool to address the underlying spiritual causes of disease, shamanism is great. I have seen people with chronic health challenges such as Lyme disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia use shamanic healing with great results. No form of spiritual healing should replace modern medicine and most shamanic healers are not licensed, health professionals. Having trained in shamanism does not legally qualify someone to claim to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. How Does a Shaman See and Work w ..read more
