The simplest explanation as to the definition of SHAMANISM is knowledge and information. Through he SHAMANIC JOURNEY, the individual may seek information on almost any topic that one can imagine. The quarries may be on health, decisions to be made, business, and any information we may require to get on with life.
This is not to say that the spirit guides and power animals are passive. Over the years I have seen people that I have Journeyed for have remarkable recoveries from physical illness, mental distress, and prosperity issues. As reported in Sacred Hoop issue 51, (summer of 2006), the Positive results of the SHAMANIC JOURNEY are as effective from a Distance as they are in person. The Spirit Guides and Power Animals are there to help us. They only need to be asked. For over 35 years I have developed a close and wonderful rapport with these Spirit Beings.
