• Shamanic Perspectives

  What is Shamanism? The Foundation for Shamanic Studies says this:

  "Over tens of thousands of years, our ancient ancestors all over the world discovered how to maximize human abilities of mind and spirit for healing and problem-solving. The remarkable system of methods they developed is today known as "shamanism," a term that comes from a Siberian tribal word for its practitioners: "shaman" (pronounced SHAH-mahn). Shamans are especially distinguished by the use of journeys to hidden worlds otherwise mainly known through myth, dream, and near-death experiences."

  Hearing Voices can be a good experience, a bad experience, or even both. By looking to traditional healing we may often find methods they have used to live with visions and voices helpful.

  Here we would like to share stories, research, or information on hearing voices and visions from shamanic perspectives.
