The recent in emergence is medical care. There is also the Shamanic healing.
Shamanic healing soars above most forms of healthcare because it does both body along with soul healing- other forms on health deal with the physical well-being only. Healing one facet of an entity does little in providing the optimum well-being. This is why Shamanic healing has proved to be the best healthcare giver. Yet there are more reasons to go shamanic.

Shamans benefit in removing entities and also in your soul healing. The shamans are endowed with the gift of communicating with the spiritual world. They can present your troubles to God for absolution.

Shamanism
by Robert Bruce Baird
Is it really possible that Don Juan can command the movement of Carlos' attention point or time reference point to another dimension that he calls the Nagual along with the sorcerer's perspective? Can the adeptness of one person rise to know you better than you know yourself even at the level of the body conscious focus on the material world? Is INFINITY like the multi-dimensional soul which at a few point is harmonized in ethics so much that it laughs at the stupidity of the soulful entities exploring the naive denial and rationalizing games our personalities playas we avoid the purpose of our soul? Could Don Juan shape-shift his alter egos along with other dimension energy to become the reflection or mirror of the inner character of the student seeking to label something he knows so little about, in an "elaborate" construct that would be akin to a crook yet academically sound? Did he command this laughter response in another that easily?
Have you ever looked into yourself so deeply that you "didn't care to apologize" and "found the thought inadmissible"? What a life as well as so little holes in your soul you would have if only you were so wise and yet, what a curse and quite unlike 'any blessing it would be. Your knowledge of others as well as their intentions would make you feel so alone and so devastatingly unable to convey to others what games the ego does play. You might try to use intellect as well as be found arrogant. You might use love and empathy as well as be found invasive as well as intense. You might develop the austere distance of an impeccable warrior as Carlos was taught and then no longer need. No longer need! Anything! This is the world of Carlos Castaneda which calls out for humanity to look at itself and know how sensationally gifted our soul can be and also in the final analysis how scary it would be not to actually care for another person at a large number of intense level of need. But if there is no need in those dimensions what is there? Love as well as connectiveness as we have said; or purpose as well as productive involvement in creation on a collective along with common basis, where each separate energy is never able to feel anything more than the most of whatever they want.
In Don Juan we see the laughter as well as his great power which has no application except to benefit the truly interested and committed student who sincerely commits to the path without knowing what is about to happen. The awe as well as inspiring nature of the courage makes the word warrior seem the only appropriate word to use. No Fear! This part of the Keltic Creed that the Toltecs knew and used so well in making other people rise within their own soul to achieve great oneness and also beauty, is most important. Between the teacher and also the pupil passes less than I would hope may be, but in the final analysis I envy Carlos, as I question Don Juan.
INITIATION: - What does it take to determine from the secrets of esoteric and adept scholars? Does one have to commit to pay money and be willing to attend endless lectures like Carlos did at UCLA under professors Meighan along with Garfinkel? Perhaps it takes the willingness along with intense desire he showed when he saw or felt an opportunity to the ways of the self-proclaimed last Toltec or a shaman of a lost culture? In a number of situations one has to go through so a large number of hoops and hurdles with lots of tricks and also traps that one wonders if there really is anything more than sorcery at work. Don Juan had to trick Carlos at first because he knew there was no way Carlos would really believe the simple truths of our cosmic and also spiritual world. Is that a rationalization? Today you will sometimes graspattain a lot of these things from books as well as seminars. In most cases you should do this as well as then determine if there is a few group who meets your own interests along with requirements. Because we have just dealt with it as a highly shamanistic experience along with because that is what the Druids along with alchemists really were or are, and also we recently dealt with that; we are going to quote a good explanation about shamanism that you will sometimes use as your own initiation if you so desire.
"shamanism Perhaps the oldest system of healing in the world, shamanism is prevalent in tribal cultures which, though isolated from one another, have developed beliefs as well as techniques with startling similarities {Unless you believe in long time world travel or astral and also akashic cognition.}. The shaman is an individual who enters an ecstatic altered state of consciousness, which enables him to communicate with guardian and also benefiting spirits and also draw upon enormous sources of power. The primary purpose of shamanism is the healing of body and also mind. It is also used for divination along with to ensure good hunts and also prosperity for a tribe or village.
According to archaeological along with ethnological evidence, shamanism has been practiced for several 20,000 to 30,000 years. {The recent discovery of 90,000 year old drugs or herbal remedies in Neanderthal sites as well as the Mungo Man clearly moves this a long way back from a purely physical evidence point of view.}. It can be much older, perhaps as old as the human race. It is found all over the world, including very remote parts of the Americas, Siberia and Asia, Australia, northern Europe and Africa.
Shamanic systems vary greatly, however there are basic similarities in most systems {The Judaic Tree of Life and The Tree of Yggdrasil are more than just basic similarities.}. The shaman must function comfortably in two realities, the ordinary reality of the everyday waking world, along with the nonordinary reality of the shamanic state of consciousness. The nonordinary reality is attained in a trance, which varies from very tight to deep coma along with enables the shaman to see along with do things that are impossible in ordinary reality. Once in a trance, the shaman enters the lowerworld by slipping into a hole or opening in the earth. In the lowerworld, he sees the cause of disease in a patient along with knows its eliminate , and sees his guardian spirit and spirit aiders. He will sometimes shape-shift into these spirits and fly through the air. He performs his heal s and can see into the future. When his shamanic work is done, he reemerges from the lowerworld back within ordinary reality. Shamans are also said to ascend to the sky in spirit boats or astride the spirits of sacrificed horses.
The nonordinary reality is as real to the shaman as is the ordinary reality. The things he sees are not hallucinations but are externalized. The shamanic state of consciousness is induced through drumming, rattling and dancing or, in a few societies, by ingesting hallucinogens.
Shamans tend to be men {Women have more of these abilities in their natural state and also require less altered consciousness.}, though women also can become shamans; a number of women shamans are extraordinarily powerful. In many cultures, shamans are involuntarily chosen by the spirits; they realize their calling in a transformational experience, often a serious illness that brings them close to death {For example Damion Brinkley of today.} and also is self- eliminate d. In other cultures, persons with natural shamanic gifts are selected at a young age, trained as well as initiated.
The shaman must obtain a guardian spirit, which is the source of his spiritual powers. The guardian spirit also is called a 'power animal', 'tutelary spirit', totemic animal' or 'familiar'. A common method of discovering and connecting with the guardian spirit is the solitary all-night vigil outdoors {It is often a death-defying experience to try to lie to your tribe about any ability if you cannot Do the work.}. The guardian spirit usually manifests as an animal, bird, fish or reptile although may also appear in human form. It is both beneficent and also beneficial and also brings to the shaman the, powers of an entire species {Or inanimate lifeforms with conscious wisdom like the trees along with mountains.}. The shaman invites the guardian spirit toward his body; it protects him from illness and also from unfriendly forces in the lowerworld. Guardian spirits change over the years as the shaman's needs change.
After a guardian spirit is acquired, healing along with divination could be performed. Healing techniques vary. A shaman will sometimes collect spirit benefiters, which are the causes as well as eliminate s of illness {The church believed this to the exclusion of the free will of people and also the active ingredients of physical nature. Few good shamans would do this today, if they ever did.}. Spirit benefiters are represented by plants, insects, small objects, worms as well as the like. When the shaman sees, in trance, the cause of an illness, he places one of these objects in the back of his mouth and also one in the front. He then begins to "suck" the illness out of the body of the patient. The energy that causes the illness is absorbed by the spirit benefiters in his mouth who protect the shaman from absorbing the illness himself. The assister in the back of the mouth acts as a backup, in case the illness gets past the benefiter in front.
In other techniques, the shaman descends to the lowerworld, or the realm of the dead, to bring back the soul of a patient or to retrieve a patient's guardian spirit. Some shamans exorcise disease- causing spirits in s?ancelike procedures or by invoking or cajoling them to leave the patient.
Sleight-of-hand tricks are sometimes used, but do not necessarily negate a healing.
Western interest in shamanism has been rising since 1951, when Mircae Eliade {Another Eranos Conference attendee.} published his landmark study, Shamanism. An increasing amount of literature has been written since about shamanic systems and the uses of hallucinogenic drugs.
Some traditions of contemporary Paganism and also Witchcraft incorporate shamanic practices. Most of these concern raising energy, r, Otherworld journeys and healing. Some Witches, such as STARHAWK, consider Witchcraft essentially a shamanistic religion because raising energy, Otherworldly contact and also healing are fundamental to it. Some Pagans say the same about various forms of contemporary Paganism. Pagan as well as Wiccan shamanism fosters a closer connection to the Earth and also plays a role in the environmental and also ecological interests of many individuals. It also plays a significant role in the creation of healing therapies especially tailored to Pagan along with Wiccan spirituality.

There are quite a few things we would have to agree seem unlikely to have the attributions credited to them by people who have done these things for millenia. That does not detract from the actual result and it will sometimes easily be said that science has made some similarly false attributions. The difference for us should be that shamans were doing something and also scientists seldom actually achieved any great result.

Psychic Shaman : Using Your Own Inner Psychic Gifts
PSYCHIC SHAMAN
The psychic shaman builds his wisdom on positive information streams. The shaman is a great example on how to use your own inner psychic gifts. Psychic shamans may be female or male. Data packages of psychic ability filter through to the Shaman's consciousness and also with this knowledge comes the power of the eagle to see visions, the intuition and instinct of the mighty cougar, and the safety and protection of the scorpion.

Respect along with offer prayers to nature. In return it will respect you along with look after you in more ways than you will sometimes imagine.

Drumming for the Shamanic Journey
What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is the oldest way in which humanity has sought connection with Creation. The origins of shamanism go back at least 40,000 - 50,000 years to Stone age times. All of us have evolved from shamanic cultures, it is our roots wherever we live.
A shaman knows that all things are alive along with 'walks with one foot in the everyday world along with one foot in the spirit world'. Contemporary shamanism is the application of these ancient timeless ways to life here as well as now.
Shamanism is not a belief system. It is a path to knowledge which is gained through experience of life, through rituals, ceremonies, prayers and meditation, trials and tests. Knowledge is something that works, that stands up to the test of time, that is known from the inside.
Cosmology of the shaman Shamans divide non-ordinary reality within three other regions, the upper, lower and the middle worlds. Each has its own characteristics and also whilst each individual traveller experiences initially their own version, once one becomes a proficient journeyer, it is amazing just how connected we all are at these levels.
The Lower world is the place of instinctual knowing where our animal-like powers reside along with where we can find practical earthly benefit along with guidance.
The Upper world is the word of spirit teachers, cosmic beings, great wise elders, ancestors who appear usually in human form. Their help along with guidance is often perceived to be more general as well as philosophical.
The Middle world is both the everyday physical world that we live in, the world of ordinary reality, the tonal, along with also a parallel non-ordinary version of our world.
It is a CD specifically made for shamanic journeying, as well as to do this, the drums have to be as monotonous as possible and also maintain a consistent beat between 205 to 210 beats per minute. At this specific beat, the brain is stimulated to synthesise natural beta-endorphins which facilitate a person to move toward what is known as the 'second attention', an altered state of awareness, or shamanic state of consciousness. This state of awareness facilitates the shamanic journey.
A Shamanic Journey to the Lower world.
To begin, find a place that you feel comfortable as well as will not be disturbed for about 30 minutes. When you are ready, lie down comfortably, along with darken the room, or at least cover your eyes. It is easier to journey in non-ordinary reality in the dark. Remove tight clothing, take off your shoes along with allow your breathing to move to a gentle rhythm. Relax for a few minutes, focusing on being centred, and also grounded.
When you are ready visualise or imagine, a place which reminds you of the Earth, a place which you know of. This place should be a real place, perhaps somewhere you have visited, or seen in a film or photograph, along with it can be anywhere, a hill, mountain, grasslands, forest, by the ocean. At this place allow yourself to perceive an entrance or opening within the Lower world. This entrance can be a hollow tree, an animal burrow, a cave entrance, a man-made opening e.g.; a trapdoor, it can any entrance in the direction of the ground or water. You will find that the right entrance will feel comfortable to you, take a minute or so to study it in detail.
Now when you are ready, enter into the opening. The beginning of the tunnel may appear dark, it will sometimes angle down in a slight incline, or it will sometimes incline steeply. The tunnel can appear to be ribbed, along with often it bends, sometimes it can become spiral-like, but it will always lead downwards.
Continue down the tunnel until you come out of doors within a landscape. If you come toward a cavern, you will need to move outside along with toward the landscape, there will be an exit for example a door or an opening which will enable you to do this, it should be easy to acquire sight of it.
Now in the landscape, just look around. It can be daytime, night-time, forest, woodland, or near water. Extend your senses, listen, can you hear anything, the sound of birdsong, the sound that the wind makes as it blows through the tree tops, perhaps the sound of running, flowing water. Feel the ground underneath your feet, feel the ground pushing up against the soles of your feet. Sense the wind, the breeze, sense the movement of air around you. What does it feel like? Have an awareness of being there.
If you want to explore the landscape, remember where the entrance is, keep track of where you go. Just as in any ordinary-reality journey, it helps if you keep a note of landmarks so you will sometimes retrace your steps to return.
