In a tribal paradigm, the shaman (a word for the tribal healer in Siberia) is responsible for the well-being of the tribe as a whole, and also for the well-being of each member of the tribe. He or she can sustain physical well-being by setting a bone, healing a wound, relieving a fever, and so on. S/he can deliver a child into the world if something goes awry. This healer also journeys to sustain a deeper well being for tribe members – using soul retrieval, extraction, and other techniques, such as assisting others to connect with helping spirits who support the individual’s soul journey in this life. Upon death, the tribe’s healer ensures that the soul crosses over to the next world. The shaman also brings forth information – such as when and where to hunt, when to plant, and when to move to a seasonal home.
A shamanic practitioner is not a member of a tribe, and is not raised in a tribal environment. S/he studies and serves as a healer of the soul by journeying to helping spirits on behalf of others in a non-tribal culture, through the ancient practices of soul retrieval, clearing/extraction, and assisting the soul to cross over after death. A shamanic practitioner also teaches and assists others to journey to access knowledge and support in their own life journey.
A shamanic practitioner may also assist an individual to connect with and facilitate healing for their ancesters, navigate challenges with the spiritual world, and clear unsettling energies from one’s home or work space.
