The Shaman Past Life

In the highest spiritual context, the Shaman represents a human being who has united all aspects of duality within themselves, coming to a point of high level development and growth. More often than not, such people turn up in teaching roles, in the spiritual and occult fields. The student of the Mysteries who is lucky enough to be adopted by a true Shaman is blessed indeed. Many people profess to have sufficient knowledge to lead newcomers through the sometimes stormy waters of spiritual growth. However, it is important to ensure that the person to whom you trust your future development is exactly what they claim to be.

By the time you reach the point where you deeply yearn for a teacher, you will already have developed your skills somewhat. Therefore, you can trust your own feelings about a possible teacher. Never, ever, under any circumstances, commit to somebody about whom you have the slightest unease.

When the Shaman appears life will be filled with the opportunity to learn. It will be revelational, inspiring and interesting. If you allow yourself to be open to the forces that surround you, you WILL learn something important! His reversed appearance in a reading can show that you are struggling with a force that is not innovative, free-spirited or individual. Groups can be enriching or stifling, depending on circumstances. Sometimes we need to follow a program or embrace tradition, other times, we need to trust ourselves. So – pay attention!!!!

Shamanism is a religious practice that involves a practitioner (Shaman) interacting with the spirit world through altered states of consciousness, such as trance. The goal of this is usually to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world for the purpose of healing, divination, or to aid human beings in some other, usually spiritual, way. The Shaman often invokes animal images as spirit guides, omens and message-bearers.

A past life as a spiritual advisor often means we should investigate this in our current life. Our belief system is not important. What is really important is to stay true to ourselves and follow our heart. Take what you can from others then trust in Spirit to guide you on the right path.
