What makes a shaman real

 An authentic “shaman” has already done a profound self-knowing journey and healing on himself. 

That means that he has jumped consciously into his childhood traumas, 

beliefs, religious and social influences, and the collective 

unconscious’s programming. 

Since this is a huge part of ourselves and the journey never

 ends, the person interested in shamanism has to dedicate all his/her 

life in a constant self-knowing process.

If the Shaman is not aware of her/his “shadow” (subconscious part), not 

only can not hold space for others to access their own “shadow,” but his

 subconscious hidden influence can take the lead of the process and 

manipulate others.

Especially when a Shaman works as a channel or he/she uses hallucinate plants, it is even more necessary to keep his/her “channel” clean from traumas, emotional stagnations, beliefs and low vibration “influences.” 

If not, there is the possibility to get confused between what his/her intuition says with what his/her shadow says!

Women and men Shaman

 Something that can help a woman to be a shaman is the anatomy of her body’s “cyclic” function.

Her menstrual cycle’s variety of energy and her connection to the Earth makes it easy for her to access her intuition and wisdom.

Nevertheless, to be a decent shaman, she needs (consciously and subconsciously) to:

• Balance all archetypes of her cycle
• Act without fear and serve Mother Earth
• Have a “clean” sexual energy that uses it as a tool of creativity and healing and not to manipulate others
• Accept and embrace her inner Kali that can see beyond the masks and the shadow of the others. 
• Overpass
•  any influence of the Patriarchic period, especially the one that refers
•  to the menstrual blood and the sacredness of being a sacred Woman
• Heal any unhealthy cord with mother and father.

In the case of a man, he needs (consciously and subconsciously) to:

• Create an “energetic” womb that helps him access better the wisdom and clarity of his intuition
• “Clean” his sexuality and whatever resides in the background 
• Heal any unhealthy “cord” with the father and especially the mother.
• Honor Mother Earth instead of stepping on her with a lack of respect and control.
• Achieve
•  deep cleansing of the Patriarchic influence inside of him, especially
•  the programming of authority, competition, fake superiority and fear 
• towards the Feminine.
