Lectures on Shamanism

A dear friend shared this link with me. She's recently been inspired by shamanism and I thought that the resource was good enough to share with the tribe.

I've only listened to Ingerman's lecture so far. She goes through the functions of a shaman and into indigenous rituals. One thing she suggests, which we have experienced in a collective journey before, is the power to help souls move along and transition into death. She calls this service "Psychopomp Work." She reminds us that there is a growing trend of mass trauma in the world and that the human devastation imposed on the environment and other humans is so extreme that bad energy can collect from souls caught in limbo and unable to move on to the other realms. It's implied that these souls stay here and create mischief or pain. Trapped wandering souls need love, evolution, and healing, according to Ingerman. She then goes into alchemy some and suggests that within its secrets are the keys to healing the earth and reversing the damage caused to the environment. My favorite quote of hers,"It’s who we become that changes the world not what we do."
