A shaman is an intuitive healer. The word shaman literally means “one who knows”. Shamans connect with the spirit realm through altered states of consciousness in order to direct spiritual energy back into the physical world, usually for the purpose of healing. Dance or movement is one way to achieve this altered state and begin your journey. Then there is a turning point where you begin to move through a dream-like landscape - interacting with the world beyond the veil.
Shamanic dance is a sacred spiritual practice that allows one to walk between worlds, connecting deeply with the unseen realm. In shamanic dance practices, our bodies assume the role of voice - initiating and engaging in a dialogue with the world of spirit. Movement becomes a visual form of communication, speaking words beyond our verbal comprehension.
Shamanic dance can be a beneficial practice on your own. But in my opinion - working with a guide can help you to access a greater amount of wisdom and understanding. Shamans go with you on a journey - they are immersed in the experience with you. They can also assist you with integrating the medicine you receive once the journey is complete.
Shamanic dance facilitation is a form of spiritual service that bears great responsibility. In this role, I am supporting others as they meet with their shadows, their ancestors, or other energetic beings. I do this through the use of movement meditations, guided visualizations, and various dance rituals. It is a powerful and transformative practice - one that creates an intimate container for meeting your innermost self or connecting with the divine.
