Shaman Healers Ancient Earth Medicine We begin not with a chapter. We begin with a breath. The kind of breath you take not from your chest - but from your soul. Inhale. Feel the Earth beneath you. Exhale. Feel the Sky above you. Now place your heart at the center. This book is not just a study of ancient medicine. It is a sacred walk through living traditions, passed from breath to bone, from elder to apprentice, from Earth to Spirit. These are not systems invented - they are paths remembered. Each chapter opens a doorway into a people who have walked the Earth with reverence - not just for centuries, but for millennia. These are not dead rituals. They are living fires. And we carry them carefully. What Is a Shaman? The word "shaman" originates from the Tungus language of Siberia - sam n, meaning "one who knows." But the practice itself spans the globe. Before borders, before books, before even names for gods - there were those who stood between worlds. Healers. Seers. Midwives of spirit. Listeners to wind. Shamanic healing is the art of walking between the visible and invisible realms to restore balance - in the body, in the community, in the Earth itself. It is a path of relationship. With ancestors. With animals. With the stars. With the plant beings, stone beings, river beings. It is not about belief. It is about remembrance. Honoring the Roots, Not Stealing the Fruit This book does not pretend to make you a shaman. That is a calling - not a costume. These chapters are offered with great reverence, not to extract or dilute the medicine, but to witness it. To walk softly. To remember what we once knew. If you are of these lineages, may you find affirmation. If you are not, may you find humility, awe, and the wisdom to walk in right relationship.
