We can say about Shamanism that it is an ancient form of healing performed by the ones who follow this path and are usually called shamans. There are different ways of practicing shamanism throughout the world, according to each culture’s inherited traditions but they all have some common denominators.
All Shamans do their work by deliberately entering altered states of consciousness in order to obtain information from the ‘spirit world.’ They use this wisdom to help and to heal those in suffering. Shamans are typically very connected to the land or Mother Earth and they have a deep relationship with the spirit world and their roots.
