The way of the shaman is the way of Munay—or Love—which transcends the personal and is all-encompassing. Shamanism is a way of interacting with the world of Spirit through direct perception. For the shaman everything is sacred and imbued with spirit: the Earth is a loving, nurturing mother; the sun, a benevolent father whose warmth makes life possible; and plants and animals are powerful allies. By interacting with the energy of things he seeks to bring himself and those he assists into harmony with life. At one time, just about every culture on Earth employed shamanic practices in some form.

As a healer, the shaman employs traditional techniques to restore energetic balance. Working directly on the energetic level, his interventions get to the root of troubling issues. By shifting energy he opens up a pathway to profound changes in your life. Each case is unique—the emphasis is on your personal experience, personal growth, and personal healing.

In the role of teacher/life coach, the shaman guides one toward leading a more balanced life. Think of your life as if it were a great epic story. Do you like the direction it's going in? Did it go off track somewhere? Together with the shaman you can learn to change the course of your story, or even write a new one.

The shaman is also a giver of rites and energetic transmissions. These Great Rites facilitate the spiritual evolution that we, as a species, are in the process of undergoing. The way of the shaman is an ongoing journey of recovering our sacred relationship with nature. We are inseparable from the natural world. When we are in right-relationship with nature, we are in right-relationship with ourselves, exactly as we are meant to be. This is the deepest form of healing.
