Shamanism is one of the oldest, if not the oldest system of healing known in the world. It forms the prototype from which many other forms of healing are derived, such as modern psychotherapy. The shamanic journey is an expression of the human condition, and despite the cultural differences around the world, the deeper structure appears to remain constant. A common thread seems to connect all shamans across the planet. An awakening to other orders of reality, the experience of ecstasy, and an opening up of visionary realms form the essence of the shamanic mission. ☕ Donate a coffee ⭐ Support on Patreon ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⌛ Timestamps (0:00) Introduction (4:12) The Shamanic Call (7:52) Becoming a Shaman (9:20) Symbols of the Self: Animal Spirits (11:28) The Three Worlds: Shamanic Cosmos (12:15) The Gold in the Shadow (13:54) The Underworld: Death (15:56) The World Tree (18:24) The Sky Realm: Awakening (20:31) The Return to the People (22:02) The Shaman’s Shadow (23:10) Beware of Unearned Wisdom (24:52) Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy (28:10) Carl Jung and Shamanism (31:02) Psychologist: Healer of the Soul
