Shaman Report

[Blacksmith]

yesterday I used an indigenous meditation to contact my power animal and start in shamanism, it was a very liberating journey through a great mental forest during the whole tour/adventure a capybara and a fox followed me but at one point I arrived in a clearing there was a wall of stone with all the animals that had already lived in that forest, from there several spirits came out it was an explosion of colors, it was liberating and then several animals started to spin around me and a strange music started to play, a tiger came closer did a cross with its paw trampled the ground and stood on two legs behind me a tortoise thought about moving forward but stayed still the capybara kept watching when i looked into the tiger's eyes i felt immeasurable happiness, but i'm not sure if it really worked i'll try other meditations from anyway it was great I want to learn more about shamanism

I was very interested in this topic and would like to know about ritual techniques, herbal teas and things like that to start adopting the shamanic lifestyle

What you call "Shamanic Lifestyle" has nothing to do with "ritual techniques, herbal teas or things like that". All those can be aides & clutches, at best.

I also wouldn't call it a "Lifestyle", but more a "State of Consciousness", or even better, the ability to consciously navigate various states of consciousness, as well as seeing and acting from those states.

Read the books of Carlos Castaneda, it's a good start.

Also read the two books about "The Dream Searchers" (originally "Dream Hackers", in Russian).

That'll get you going.

He just did. Also this one.

I'd say it's as good a source as this.

A good source for shamanism are "shamans"...

For some reason California has the highest rate of hipster douchebag shamans in the world. Avoid at all cost. Just because someone calls themselves a shaman doesn't mean they are one. Read this post.
