I was supposed to be in the purification lodge tonight, but I wasn’t able to make it. So I poured a hot salt bath and listend to this guided meditation. The healing and realization I got was profound. That I won’t share here but what I will share was another profound realization… a shaman does not do the healing for you, they simply hold space for you to have a vision on what you need to do to heal yourself. Also, to bring light to a common misunderstanding that you have to be born a shaman or healer to perform a healing. It’s okay to want to learn and practice the art. Another misunderstanding I’d like to point out is that you don’t have to be Native American to be a shaman, in fact Native Americans don’t practice shamanism… or at least they don’t call it that. As for myself, I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of Shamanism… it is my passion to study, practice and teach the subject. -Rebekah Sage
