They travel between worlds and do they see and cleanse the demons/parasites within us. Shamans see the spirits as ruling Mother Earth? Are we all born with the shamanic gift?”ClosedNicola asked 11 months ago • Channeling Pitfalls295 views0 answers0 votesA viewer writes: “In 2016 I attended an ayahuasca ceremony in Costa Rica with a Western shaman couple in the jungle. It was a 2-night ceremony and while the first night was absolutely beautiful and magical, the second night was everything else but that. The only way I can describe it is that I got attacked and it took me to the abyss, and while I left my body something else took hold of it. Over the years, I lost my marriage, all my friends, I am bankrupt, lost my mind for 3 years—it literally erased all my good memories from my mind so I was stuck in absolute darkness for years.” After 6 years now, she is depleted and exhausted.

I have been learning my way through with the help of a friend (who may also contact you) and together we have set up protocols about how I channel with protection and permissions. Our goals seem to be similar to yours – to bring healing to humanity – but we seem to have both been suffering (apparently) for this work which some describe as a shamanic path. It has been extremely painful at times and although we keep checking that we are working with the divine (and we feel we are) we don’t understand why it should be such a painful process involving depression. We have both been looking for someone who might understand what we are going through and to check that we are on the right path and I am hoping you might be that someone.” What can we tell them?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Channeling Pitfalls354 views0 answers0 votes
