What exactly are shamans?
What is Shamanism?
We will show here the main features of shamanism, global parallels , Give almost run comparative religious studies.
We discuss the findings of Mircea Eliade, who was a professor of religious history "pioneer and founder of shamanism research, which is why virtually every author cites the modern and esoteric shamanism on him. He had stated as one of the first Europeans that the shaman in his trance the body (actually or apparently) leaves and makes out of body experience. In his book Shamanism: Archaic Ekstasetechik he worked in the then widely held opinion among experts contrary, it concluded that shamanic experiences to pathological states. "(Wikipedia).
We quote from his book ("Shamanism: Archaic Extasetechniken" Suhrkamp stw Classics academic forum) to report on the concept of core shamanism of the American anthropologist and founder / director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Michael Harner ("The Way of the Shaman " Ariston Verlag) and other interesting approaches, eg shamanism with psychotherapy combined, such as by the psychotherapist, Dr. Winfried Picard ("shamanism and psychotherapy - healing powers of" Param-Verlag).
We take a look at the currently observed, steadily increasing interest shamanism, and how the deals currently look like in Germany.
WHAT SHAMANISM
-? The Way of the Shaman
The American anthropologist and founder / director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies Michael Harner defines its absolutely recommendable basic work
"The Way of the Shaman" (Ariston Verlag) on page 53, a shaman as
"a man or woman / entering voluntarily into another state of consciousness
to a normally hidden reality to come into contact and evaluate
to receive knowledge, strength and help for others.
The shaman has at least one or more "ghost" personal at his disposal. As Mircea Eliade notes, the
shaman differs from magicians and medicine men through its transition into another state of consciousness, according to Eliade the Western mystical tradition "Ecstasy" is the name.
... The shaman is a specialist in a trance, in which his soul leaves the body and flies to heaven,
or descends into the underworld ... He works in his trance in general working to cure a patient by health-giving renewed life force
or harmful forces pulled. The shamanic journey is particularly taken by force or retrieve a lost soul.
...
This knowledge includes awareness of the shaman that he intended to fulfill a specific mission needs, while in the shamanic state of consciousness is.
The non-ordinary reality, you enter not playing, but for serious reasons. "
Michael Harner describes these serious reasons for this to be accomplished mission as follows:
"The shaman is a man doing the shamanic consciousness in the room must work, and know the basic methods must
necessary to fulfill this task. If he wants to bring back as the Welfare of a patient from the underworld, he must know the techniques
how to reach the underworld, as you enter, how to find the animal power and bringing them back unharmed.
know then it must in the ordinary state of consciousness, which he has to give instructions to the patient.
experiences in shamanic state of consciousness, the shaman basically an indescribable joy about what he sees, a reverence for the beautiful and mysterious worlds
open up before him. His experiences are like dreams, but alert, which are real and where he felt his actions
control his adventure can be determined.
While he was in the shamanic state of consciousness is, he is often shocked by the reality of what is to him.
He has access to an entirely new and old but familiar universe that gives detailed information on the significance of his own life and death
and its place within the totality of existence. While
his great adventure in shamanic consciousness space, he retains the conscious control of the direction of its travel, but do not know what he will discover.
The shaman is an excellent seer, who typically operates in the dark or at least covered with eyes to see clearly.
For this reason, the shaman usually active at night. Some forms of shamanic vision can be performed with open eyes, but this
perception of less deep nature.
In the dark, the distractions from the normal reality of diminished influence on the consciousness, making it the shaman possible
on the aspects of non- focus on everyday reality, which is essential to his work. Shamanic Enlightenment is literally the ability to illuminate the darkness
to see in that darkness, see what others can not. (Upcoming events in the future and the secrets of others).
A shaman said: "Not only I could see through the darkness of life, but it also seemed out of myself, unknowable to human beings, but
see all the spirits of earth and sky and sea, and they came to now I got my helping spirits. "On page 156 of his
describes base station to the core-shamanism Michael Harner aid of a shaman:
"... still a special kind Krafträger is regularly found in the hands of shamans.
This is the quartz crystal (rock crystal including ).
In North and South America, Australia, South-East Asia and elsewhere, shamans Leave these stones to a unique importance. The quartz crystal is regarded as ...
the strongest support at all, and as a "living stone" considered, and this for over 8000 years.
He is like other power sources as a helping spirit considered.
Some shamans even see a class of auxiliary spirits, because the quartz crystal the shaman always appears to be the same, no matter whether it is in normal or shamanic state of consciousness.
His material and spiritual nature are the same.
The crystals are usually kept with other power sources in a bag "

shamanism and psychotherapy
The psychotherapist Dr. Winfried Picard a practice in the city of Bremen operates, describes in his book "Shamanism and Psychotherapy forces
of Healing" on page 21 of shamanism as follows:
be "In the shamanic action to cross the reality of border and entering a different reality intended.
The experience is then shaped by forms that prevail there in the personal
perception. Compared to the forms of experience of the everyday world, these types of increases in part repel or frightening.
The ability to distinguish reality from a different reality is in the interests of the Healer's task and the mental . Integrity of the shaman mandatory "
On page 22 he continues:" From the Alltagsesicht the perceived content would work dramatizes while to get but the inclusion in a
effectively designed sense the character of an inexplicable cover and resolve beyond - in accordance empathetic appreciation - the impression of,
that someone over here is a necessary task in the service of the community hat.So seen is the integration of clairvoyant abilities and the consequent range of experience in the total personality. Yet another feature is essential in: Due to the unbearable or endured suffering borne social intentions of an increased compassion. The perception of similar sufferings of others and possible assistance is sensitive. "
On page 26 he takes regarding Harner core shamanism, this contains protective elements, or a concentration on internal security units, the
the collapse of a mental regression, as experienced Harner they , normally prevents.
"particularly exciting," says Dr. Picard of the new medical evidence that could be forced in the altered state of consciousness, the body's immune system
arbitrarily by the hypothalamus in action.
From page 33 he describes the journey to the underworld:
"One of the main motifs of ancient mythology, the descent into the underworld.
to us well-known heroes of such a journey are Orpheus (in search of his bride, Eurydice) and the Sumerian goddess of heaven
Inanna, which met in the underworld of her sister, her dark divine counterpart ... The descent into the dark realm includes
encounter with mysterious forces and beings that can perceive often as demons. They are psychologically explained as part of the unconscious shadow
, which also means an examination.
is tested whether the hero of the rescission his consciousness has grown ...
The remarkable thing about this descent from the everyday world but the mythical setting, there are each helping nature, offer the necessary experience key
, or are actively using ...
this point it appears a recurrent in the myths of mankind motif, that of rescue from outside, like Joseph Campbell formulated.
He describes "a continuous action of the supernatural power which the elect have stood by throughout the test period.
Finally get the hero, the heroine of such travel coming from the other side of the field - again the threshold of everyday life and enters its banality. The
, as Campbell says, are astonishing discrepancy of both spheres of experience (beyond and everyday life) must be endured. Dealing with the reactions of the environment needs to learn the hero.
"How should he back-translate the sounds of darkness, the loss for words, so in the language of everyday life? ... As in the Yes and translate No specific terms revelations
condemn any attempt to nothingness, to define pairs of opposites?
As humans, reinforce the on the evidence of the senses, the message of the emptiness allzeugenden convey? The psychological
Interpretation that the paradox can be acceptable and inner peace is to donate would say: the subterranean theme of the descent
travelers is to be authentic and, finally aware of his gifts to find. After all, it can be added, there seems no
more powerful personal experience for us humans that we are our mental focus less on the construction of a zealous egos, but
rather have a beseeleten and in that sense experience itself, that clarified in the meeting of opposites has to be prepared and their verification. "
Dr. Picard is in his book also nor to the soul's journey and many other elements of shamanism one, which are also known from the Egyptian Book of the Dead or example, from Celtic legends.
"The decisive question for man is: Does he have a relationship to the infinite or not?
This is the essential question of his life. Only when we know that what really matters is the infinite can we avoid fixing our interests to
to a nullity and all sorts of targets that actually have no real meaning. "
Carl Gustav Jung
Appointed SHAMAN
Roger N. Walsh describes in his book "The Spirit of Shamanism" the call to the shaman:
"the most play the game of exploration and mastery Terns of the things of the inner world of the mind and consciousness. It has the ultimate aim is that we recognize our deepest and very own nature, to merge with it and that we get from our own direct experience to realize that this
nature is divine.
It remains the most challenging and difficult of all games, and just play in our society. The contemporary man mesmerized by his technical
Glitter Toy has little contact with his inner world, it deals with space, not its interior.
But the Master Game is played exclusively in the inner world, a vast and complex field, of which man knows very little.
The aim of the game in the real awakening, in the full development of the human
dormant powers. be played it is only available to people who have come from observations of themselves and to others at a given
conclusion, namely that the normal state of consciousness of man, his so-called waking state, not the highest level of consciousness is, which is he
capable. This condition is true Revival but so far away that he can rightly be called a kind Somnabulismus, a security guard sleeping.
At some stage the hero is startled from his slumber
conventional, shaken by a crisis in his life to the core, an existential confrontation, which represents all previously-held beliefs.
The call to adventure and discovery, however, can also express as an inner urge. He can take the form of a vivid dream, or a deep impression as a new teacher.
He can indirectly express the "divine discontent", as a growing uneasiness with the delights of the world, or as a nagging question about the Meaning of life.
In our culture, it can also be a mid-life crisis or existential crisis. In any form in any case that the challenge of the limits of
disclosed conventional thought and life, and urges the heroes to cross the border. The addressee of the call now faces a terrible dilemma. He must decide whether he wants
the call and move into the new and unknown life into areas in which the reputation of pulling him or reject him and if he wants to withdraw into the familiar.
Whoever closes the call has little choice other than to drive out the messages and their far-reaching implications. Only by such a displacement , the non-hero to the seductive, but deafening twilight conventional return unconsciousness, he can sink back into the
"Tranquilisierung by the trivial."
Such a refusal is momentous. It is the basis of which what the existentialists call inauthentic life and alienation. The shaman,
rejects the reputation risk, (as they say) disease, madness, even death, "according to Walsh
Then follows the apprenticeship of a shaman or a shaman:
." Now begins the phase of the breeding and training. But usually a teacher is required, therefore following the Entsagungsphase usually the Search for a teacher.
is Sometimes it is an inner teacher - an inner guide, guru, or spirit. This is particularly the case for shamans. In most cases, however, an outer
teachers needed, then, De Ropp, the would-be champion player is facing one of the hardest challenge of his career.
He needs to find a teacher who is again a fool nor a deceiver, and see that teacher, that he, the prospective student, it is interesting that he was taught.
Its future development depends largely on the skill with which he copes with this task.
years of breeding and training out ultimately life-changing breakthroughs of quality. It may be visions, insights, knowledge, experience
act of death and rebirth, to enlightenment, satori, liberation or a sense of union with God, the universe, the Tao.
name for such experiences are fundamentally inadequate. As far as they can be described at all, it used terms such as
"unspeakable," "beyond our world", "to describe anything," ...
For most of the players are such experiences, both the target and the highest good of existence. Then
completed one trip to another phase: the return and participation in society through the provision of a social contribution, now
because their own questions are answered, the confusion of the world is pushing for clarification, and now our own suffering is reduced, scream pain and suffering in the world for healing, now that egon centric motives are satisfied, there is growing need for social support, and is mandatory. The direction of travel is reversed.
Had the hero initially turned away from society and immersed in himself, he now returns to the society and in the bosom of the world.
Initiation crisis is inevitable, as the appeal in a dream can sometimes be ignored. With explosive force in pushing for the life of the elect,
destroyed the balance and the old identity and calls for the birth of the new.
announces a rule it in with a rush of unusual psychological experiences. Sometimes this new talent come to light (increased sensitivity, increased perception).

Then, a week, months to follow, also years of chaos that completely the life of the shaman, his family and his tribe by another brings.
