After so many episodes, I think it is about time I explain a bit about the word “shamanism” since I through it around so much. I touch on why I don’t call myself a shaman but do share contemporary shamanic practices in Shamanic Reiki trainings. You will be guided into a shamanic journey to find or create your sacred place, a basic journeying practice I introduce in those trainings.You can find information and the schedule for upcoming virtual Shamanic Reiki Level One, Level Two and Master Practitioner trainings at https://debbiephilp.com/shamanic-reiki-training/I would like to welcome new My Shamanic Life patrons. Thank you! If you like this podcast and would like me to keep recording new episodes, please visit my Patreon page and become a patron for as little as one dollar a month. When you do, you will have access to patron-only guided shamanic journeys to meet animal helping spirits and read posts about the animals’ symbolism and archetypal energy as well as the natural history and conservation challenges those animal face in their living incarnation. As you work with different animals, you connect more deeply with the natural world and may be inspired to advocate for one of the wild beings you resonate with.If you would like to chat about this episode and connect with others who share your love for the wild beings, join the Shamanic Flow Circle group on Facebook.
