SHAMANISM Shamanism is not a religion, but a spiritual path that is compatible with the beliefs of many religions. The word shaman comes from the Siberian word "saman" meaning "to know" thus, "shaman" literally means "one who knows." It has been in existance for thousands of years, and is practiced all over the world, with amazing similarities. Shamanism is based on the philosophy of animism, which states that everything - animate and inanimate, is created by a spiritual force and that all natural phenomena has spirit. Native Americans believe that all things in nature are connected. They also believe that every human and every object has a corresponding presence in the spirit world and that spirits can promote health or cause illness. People may share shamanic experiences in groups, but the insight you gain from shamanic practice are unique to you. |
