SHAMAN
The lesson of detachment, and totally
letting go of one's ego is an essential basis for the shaman.
If a person does not let go of pride and self-interest, they may
not be able to enlist the aid of the spirits of nature such as
rocks and trees, land and water. Nor would they be able to work
with the spirits of animals plants and humans such as their ancestors.
Instead that person would offend these spirits with his/her pride.
The result - no assistance is given to that person for any work.
The Shaman uses his/her skills to help their community, individuals
within the community and the surrounding area including animals
and the land. Ego-less and power-full the Shaman journeys to other
realms of reality in which he/she “sees” with a new
set of eyes in the search of advice or a solution. This may involve
discussion, debate, negotiation, trickery, or battle within the
other realms that the shaman is required to visit. The Shaman
may be required to enter dangerous or unknown terrain in order
to deliver the information /healing required.
The shaman sees illness or dis-ease as an imbalance caused by
a lack of power. Power being your completeness, your essence,
your spirit/soul as a whole. When a small part of this is missing
for whatever reason you are left slightly power-less. This often
shows itself as an illness, habit or dis-ease. In order to heal
you, the shaman goes on a journey to the other realms of reality
and returns bringing your power back to you. Likewise in
order to heal the land, the shaman returns the lost power.
An imbalance is re-balanced to bring back a state of harmony.
The shaman must also ensure that through his/her actions in any
reality, he/she do not create any further dis-ease or imbalance.
The journey and duty are carried out with much consideration and
respect. To be very effective in the work they do, any shaman
must accept what he/she is given in the way of information or
healing to be true. The shaman has learnt the art of communication
in these other realms, this enables him/her to enquire further
–dig deeper with questions that are respectful, in order
to obtain a fuller understanding of the information received or
healing to be given.
