Shamanism
A shaman is a holy person who can see into and visit other worlds that are invisible to people who are "asleep." It is a wonderful thing to take a shamanic journey and meet ones spirit guides. Shamans live in our world and are people with special abilities. I believe that a long time ago many more people were shamans and many more people had special abilities. We all have these abilities within us but they are mostly buried under stress and strain of daily life.
Added March 15, 2006: I quit the below-mentioned Celtic Shamanism classes a few weeks ago. You can read what I wrote in my Blog regarding this situation.
Linda, the owner
of this Web site had been studying Celtic Shamanism since
the spring of 2003 till February 2006. She completed Celtic Shamanism One,
Two, Three, Four and Five.
She has had many wonderful, expansive shaman journeys.
"Shamans
-- whom we in the 'civilized' world have called 'medicine
men' and 'witch doctors' -- are the keepers of a remarkable
body of ancient techniques that they use to achieve and
maintain well-being and healing for themselves and members
of their communities. These shamanic methods are strikingly
similar the world over, even for peoples whose cultures are
quite different in other respects, and who have been separated
by oceans and continents for tens of thousands of years."
