7 Signs That Tell You To Learn Shamanic Journeying

1. If you always see something about shamanism, then your Spirit Guides want to talk to you

If you're not focusing on finding information about shamanism, but you constantly see documentaries about Shamans in TV, or you find books about Shamanism, posts and images on the internet about your Power Animal and so on, your Spirit Guides might want to get your attention.
Don't ignore this!

2. If the Spirits want you to work with them

Many scholars believe that in the traditional context of Shamanism, you are either born a shaman, or you are not.

If the spirits want you to work with them, there is nothing you can do.
And if the spirits don’t want you to work with them, there is likewise nothing you can do.

Of course in modern Western shamanism things have changed. Today anyone can learn Shamanic Practices, and the Spirit World will tell you, if shamanism is your way to go.

Did you know, that traditional shamans often think people in the West are out of their mind if they want to become shamans, because being a shaman can be very uncomfortable, and difficult in some cultures.

Traditional Shamans believe there is no choice. If the chosen shaman ignores their fate, they may even get ill.
Some of the traditional shamanic cultures think that being a shaman is like royalty, in that you must have it in your DNA.
Others say it's just a calling, and any one can become a shaman, even without initiations.

From my experience I believe that everyone can learn shamanic methods.

There are many different methods and beliefs.

Why is that?
Because shamanic practitioners might learn methods and techniques from their teachers, but the true teacher of a shaman are the spirits they are working with.

Without the spirits a shaman is nothing.

Although having a human teacher is also very important.

A human teacher will give you the guidelines, the rest you will learn through your experiences with the Spirits. That's why each Shaman works differently.

3. If you feel like you have a calling

If you feel attracted to Shamanism, and you can't think about anything else, know that you have a calling.

You might have a strong feeling to help others, because you know there is more to reality, something hidden.

You are sensitive to your environment, because you understand that everyone and everything is connected.

You don't understand why people cause so much trouble, so much harm, when you so easily see the solutions to our misery.

4. If you like being alone

If you love being around your family, friends or colleagues, but you also need your time alone with your own thoughts and feelings, then this could also be a sign that the spirits want your attention.

But not only the spirits in this case want your attention, people as well. They love to be around you, because they feel accepted the way they are. But sometimes there are people who don't know what they should think of you, because they see you as strange or mystical.

5. If you have psychic abilities, and you trust your inner visions and feelings

If you can easily trust and follow your intuition, or you can "read" people or "see" energy, then this could be a sign, too. This is a very important point, because trusting your inner visions and intuition is the key of practicing shamanism, or any other spiritual energy work.

For example, when a shamanic practitioner closes their eyes, and listens to the drums, they have to be able to see in the dark. This means they have to trust their inner pictures, thoughts and feelings.

By the way, if you think you don't have inner visions, then Shamanic Journeying can help you with that.

6. If you had the ‘shaman sickness’

Traditionally it is believed, that if you had a bad illness in your younger years, often called ‘shaman sickness,' or had a near death experience; or perhaps even a spirit possession, and you suffered an involuntary trance, then this too may be a sign that you should go the Shaman way.

Yet this is an old way of thinking.

In the modern western society, which is not a shamanic culture, we think differently. We don't believe we need to suffer to get close to the spirits.

7. If doing a shamanic journey seems easy to do

If you have already learned some Shamanic methods, and it comes naturally to you, and you trust your intuition, and the guidance from your Spirit Guides or Power Animal, then the shamanic way is the way to go.

Today

Today: ‘Core Shamanism’ which is our modern style of shamanism, took the basic model of going into trance and journeying out to the Spirit Worlds, but stripped it of all cultural aspects, making it more easily digestible to us.

This leads me to my conclusion

Core Shamanism says that anyone can learn shamanic methods, and use shamanic techniques as tools in their personal lives, and the lives of others.

On the other hand, the fact that you may feel called by the spirits to Learn Shamanic Journeying, can not be ignored.

Being chosen by the spirits is very common.

Everyone can learn Shamanic Methods, as long they feel drawn to it. This includes Shamanic Journeying to find their Power Animal.

Some people go even further, where they learn to find Shamanic Symbols for themselves and others.

And there are those chosen by the Spirits who will find and bring back Soul Fragments.

Foundation Shamanic Studies at our school, helps you to understand if you have arrived to your calling.

In our courses you will learn how to find and bring back your Power Animal, Shamanic Symbols and Soul Fragments.
It's a way to inner wholeness, and certified online courses.

What Students Say About The Shamanic Journeying Courses

This is a really great course

"My new favourite spiritual practice
"This is a really great course. Clear and concise information, I could stop and start at anytime thanks to the learning platform and as with all of Gatelight’s courses there are handouts and notes I can easily go back to if I don’t feel like watching the videos again. What I really loved was that it made shamanic journeying easily accessible for me where I had previously been interested but turned away because it seems a little too serious or complex. I also do not have the luxury of going out into the wild for days at a time which is what I had been previously led to believe needed to happen. With this class I can now do it in the comfort of my home but with all the intent and purpose that is required. It forces me to shut my door (sorry cats) and take time for myself in a way that I can’t do with just meditation alone and it delights me every time with it’s magic and the incredible insight I gain. Try it and you’ll see what I mean :)" - Melinda s
