I'm glad to hear that you don't need to use psychotropic plants in order to practice Shamanism - I learned to travel into a plant which provided information to me which was accurate. But that was done with the use of a drum. The plant provided information to me on how it could benefit others.
Excellent and so interesting to know the extents to which true shamanism practice has been watered down and changed by individuals to suit their own agenda. The same happened with Reiki, which was changed to suit the moneymaking agenda, together with all of the jewellery and paraphernalia that was manufactured to satisfy those with more money than sense. It is good to retain and follow the original methodologies, where known and forget the bells and whistles added later for profiteering. Phew! rant over 🤭🙏
I am loving these videos, it's great to see you talk rather than just reading comments in the fb group. I can't help saying, the earth gives us teacher plants for us to use... I understand why you don't partake, but I don't think you would regret it just once ;)
Shamans don't do drugs. True for me, too. And I appreciate your analogy of the sea and the depths to which some might be willing to go. Thank you for sharing your valuable thoughts and for these informative videos, Nick! Blessings!
