Shamanic Healing is an ancient form of healing that has been used for centuries by Indigenous people all over the world. Shamanic healers work with energy, spirit guides, and the natural elements to help their clients heal their mind-body-spirit connection.

Across the globe, Shamanism shares the same three foundational principles:

- Animism - the belief of all beings possessing spirit.

- Altered states of consciousness: accessed through drumming, chanting, dance, fasting, or entheogens.

- Three-world cosmology: lower world (instinct/ancestors), middle world (human realm), upper world (guides/celestial beings).

Shamanic healing is traditionally used to treat physical ailments, emotional imbalances, and spiritual disconnection. Shamans work with the energies and spirits of the natural world to facilitate healing, often using plants, herbs, and other natural remedies to support the body’s natural healing processes.

During a Shamanic healing session, you can expect to have a diagnosis of seen / unseen energies at the root of the problem, which is then followed by carrying out a specific choreography of energies needed to resolve the problem. The patient enters a trance like state in order to allow spirit helpers and protectors to guide them to the location of their missing soul parts caused by trauma and other negative circumstances. The Shaman will act as the medium in order to connect one to their spirit guide, weaving a person towards lost or disconnected part of the soul through drumming, chanting, and cleansing.

Shamanism has been around since the Upper Palaeolithic era over 40,000+ years ago. The etymology of the world Shaman, which originates from a Manchu-Tungus language (endangered language spoken in Serbia and Manchuria) translates directly to 'one who knows'.

Shamanism has roots found in North & South America (curanderas and ayahuasqueros), Southern Africa (Sangoma) and West Africa (Bori), Asia & the Himalayas (Bon shamanism, Mudang), and Europe (Norse Seiðr, Celtic Druidism, Finnish tietäjä).

Shamans could practice regardless of gender, making it one of the most openly diverse religious practices within history.
