The Awakening of the Inner Shaman

Updated: Sep 16, 2024


Shamanism is the spiritual cradle of humanity, being one of the oldest practices that connects human beings to the Earth and the cosmos. It reminds us that we are part of a whole, where each living being, each element of nature, carries sacred wisdom. The importance of shamanism in the world lies in its ability to reconnect us with this primordial essence, promoting healing, balance and harmony.


The Essence of Shamanism


Connection with Nature : By accessing spiritual dimensions and working with the Earth's energy, shamanism teaches us to live in harmony with nature and ourselves, awakening respect for life in all its forms.


Path of Return : In times of disconnection, it stands as a path of return to the source, guiding us back to the spiritual roots of humanity.


Self-knowledge and Healing : The awakening of the true shaman within you is a deep call from the soul to reconnect with the forces of nature and the spirit that inhabits all that exists. It is a process of self-knowledge and healing, where you learn to listen to the ancestral wisdom that echoes within your being.


The Role of the Shaman


Keeper of Balance : Awakening the shaman is recognizing that you are a keeper of balance, a healer who works not only for yourself, but for the collective.


Spiritual Connection : This awakening brings to light a connection with the elements, animals, and your soul's highest purpose, revealing a journey of service, transformation, and deep reverence for life.


Walking Firmly : It is a process where you learn to walk with your feet firmly on the Earth while accessing the mysteries of the cosmos.


Practices to Awaken the Inner Shaman


Connecting with Nature : Spend time in natural environments, such as forests, mountains and rivers, to feel the energy of the Earth and harmonize with natural cycles.


Meditation and Inner Silence : Practice daily meditations, learning to silence the mind and listen to inner wisdom, which is essential for a shaman.


Ceremonies and Spiritual Studies : Engage in ceremonies and study of the spiritual world, diets or prayers that involve dietary restrictions, among other energies are important.


Connection with All Beings : Explore your connections with animals through dreams, meditations or shamanic journeys to guide and protect your spiritual path.


Working with Shamanic Energies


Elements of Nature : Learn to work with the four elements – earth, fire, water and air – to balance your internal and external energies.


Healing and Transformation : Learn to identify and transform fragmented parts of your life, bringing them back to wholeness and integrity and releasing trauma.


Ancestral Connection : Connect with your ancestors, seeking knowledge, guidance and blessings to guide your shamanic spiritual path.


The Shaman in the Community and in the Cosmos


Sacred Instruments : Use sacred chants, drums and other instruments to access altered states of consciousness and facilitate healing.


Cycles of Life : Respect the cycles of nature and life – birth, death and rebirth – understanding your role in the cosmic flow.


Community Service : A true shaman serves his community with humility, offering healing, guidance, and protection to those around him.
