LLPOT 702 - Shamanism I: The Shamanic Relationship

Begin to learn about the altered states of consciousness associated with Shamanism. Shamanic techniques have been passed down for generations by medicine people who comfortably enter their own unconscious for learning, knowledge, and healing. We will learn the value of ritual and ceremony in enhancing and accessing altered states. We will learn breathing techniques to enhance our own energy fields, and we'll form a 'healing circle' as we scan one another's energy fields and send and receive energy. Specific art techniques will take us out of the literal brain and help us access the deeper levels of myth and symbols that are the home of the Shaman.
