Shamanic Healing & Power Animals

 

Shamanism is mankind’s most ancient form of spiritual practice and closed related to Animism. The shamans’ power is directly  connected to their power animals, these animal allies, spirit guides and helpers and assist the shaman with many shamanic healing processes ad arduous tasks. It is said by many shamans that we are assigned a power animal at birth and have many power animals that come and go throughout our lives. This can be due to trauma, neglect or a change in personal vibration which causes you to attract a new power animal.

 

Acquiring a power animal is an extremely important part of practicing shamanism and without the power animal the shaman would be unable to perform his or healing tasks. The shaman offers the power animal respect and honor in exchange for the guidance and assistance and protection the power animal gives. To meet and acquire your power animal first listen to a shamanic drumming track or have someone else drum for around ten – fifteen minutes before your shamanic journey. The drumming must be around 180 beats per minute. This is necessary because it takes the brain this long to get in to theta brainwave which is required to go on a shamanic journey. If you can is best to all use all of the five senses during shamanic journeying to increase the awareness and quality.
