Discovering the Shaman Healer Within
Aho! Take a journey and an exploration into the worlds and the way of the Shaman. Come and sit down before the fire with the Shaman as you calm your mind and open your heart to the teachings of the Elders. As you walk the path of this course, you will re-member many skills, talents, places and people from your past that you have forgotten. Welcome to the reconnection to your purpose as healer. Let the Shaman Elder take the talking stick and listen to his words.
"The best magic words are those which come to one when one is alone out among the mountains. These are always the most powerful in their effects. The power of solitude is great and beyond understanding"
~ Rasmussen, student of Eskimo life
The Shaman Way: Power Songs
By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls
Excerpted from
Discovering the Shaman Healer Within
At some point, all of the ancient mystery schools taught their students the use of sound as a creative and healing force. It is considered the oldest form of healing, and it was a predominant part of the early teachings of the Greeks, Chinese, East Indians, Tibetans, Egyptians, American Indians, Mayas, and the Aztecs.
How does the body respond to sound?
Every cell within our body is a sound resonator. It has the capability of responding to any other sound outside of the body. Every organ, in which cells of like vibration have gathered to form that organ, will respond as a group to particular sound vibrations. The various systems in the body will also respond to sound vibrations, as will various emotional, mental and spiritual states of consciousness.
Shaman Power Songs
Shamans use
power songs
in preparation for journeying and can also be used in healing or even when offering
Reiki.
Can you cause healing with your power song?
You can stimulate an immense number of sympathetic vibrations within your body and mind by learning to direct and control your voice, and by using certain musical instruments, tones and forms of music. Where there is imbalance, you can use directed sound to bring the imbalance back into its normal parameters.
All Shamans have
several power songs
because the vibration of the notes in the voice and in the fourth chakra of the throat, stimulate sympathetic vibrations in the universe to respond.
This is me singing a power song for bravery.
