Podcasts about shamans

In the Amazon Basin, in the interior of Brazil, systems of ritual and belief have existed for thousands of years unknown to most Brazilians. When the Villas-Bôas brothers established contact with the people of the Xingú less than 100 years ago, they became advocates for the indigenous people to the Brazilian government and society for the culture's preservation. We look at the stories shared with the brothers, exploring the relationship of life, death, and ritual in a drastically changing world.00:31 Map of Peru, Brazil, and the Country of the Amazons00:47 Yawalapiti men, serra do Roncador, MT.

Sandra was reading one of the posts on the Shamans Cave Facebook Page about the Bushmen who dance and sing for hours and the power and healing that comes from doing this. We have talked about the power of dancing, walking, and singing on a variety of past episodes.But as we have gotten into a habit of sitting more through driving, being on our devices too long, being on our computers, and working too long we are once again suppressing the true power that we came here to express. And in shamanic cultures people raise their energy through song and dance.Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman as they talk about the healing that comes from movement and song. And Sandra teaches us a healing song at the end of the show. Follow Us @theshamanscave

In this week's podcast Renee and Sandra talk about how on a spiritual level we can keep doing our work to expand and evolve. But if we are in a state of fear and contracting then we are suppressing all the spiritual energy we learned how to raise and this puts an amazing amount of stress on our bodies and nervous system when we are trying to expand and contract at the same time. Is this something you can relate to in your own life?Join this powerful show as Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau talk about how we can stand strong and let our energy flow like the wind and the river of life and feel empowered in this time of change as we choose to leave a state of fear and contraction.  Follow Us @theshamanscave

The plastic shamans of OpenAI

"Every part of India has shamans; you could say its part of folk culture. They call Himachal Dev Bhoomi because every village is home to several deities. Every village also has its main deity and a shaman, who is the medium of that deity. He can communicate with that deity when he goes into a divine possession trance that is ritually invoked. The villagers communicate with their devis and devtas for everything and in pooch sessions, the shaman or goor will answer questions as the deity. To a westernised mindset, this sounds like superstition. But you cannot ignore the lived experience of millions of people across centuries and say 'Yeh bakwas hai; this is nonsense!' Scholars like Sudhir Kakkar and Oliver Sacks accepted that the sacred healing rituals of shamans are far more effective than modern psychotherapy because they take the whole field of the person - family community mythology - into consideration" - Documentary film maker and author of 'Shamans of the Himalayas', Anu Malhotra talks to Manjula Narayan about the strong connection that villagers in Himachal have with their local deities, divination, altered states of consciousness of shamans, and how the belief system persists despite the onslaught of modernity and migration.    Learn more about your ad choices.

In chaotic and challenging times trust is our most powerful tool and the one we often have the hardest time embracing. When things are not going well we want to blame, we want to withdraw, we feel victim to the forces of life. But this is part of starting any initiation. There needs to be a breakdown of trust and all we can count on as we enter a time of death and rebirth. But once you get further on the journey you remember the innate strength and resilience that has gotten you through all the challenges in your life.Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman  in this powerful show as they inspire you to dig deep and remember the truth that you are strong and resilient and to trust that your own strength will carry you through such a powerful time of change.

This is a more in-depth look at the First Peoples of Texas. Why” because there were people here long before the Spanish and any other Europeans set foot on the land, First, allow me to try and clear up some terminology especially one word and that word is “Indians”.  The people Columbus encountered when he first reached the shores of the continent where misnamed, because Columbus thought he had reached India and as we know, he was wrong.  That's all I'm going to say about the subject. The inhabitants themselves did not refer to themselves in any specific way, other than often using the term “the people”, they did refer to other tribes with names. For example, the early Spanish encountered a group of nomadic buffalo hunters, they called Querechos.  That group was later named Apache, which came from the Zuni word for enemy “apachu” which is what they were called by the Navajo.  While some tribes were “farmers” the Apaches were hunter-gatherers and didn't do a lot of agriculture.  When we speak of the tribes, it is important that we remember that those tribes that were hunter-gatherers had a certain lifestyle dictated by necessity as did those who were farmers.  There is no one broad brush we can paint all tribes with; however, there are certain characteristics that many tribes have in common with one another. One area that was of particular importance to all tribes was in the area of religion or spirituality. Prior to the arrival of the Europeans in the 16th century, the tribes that lived in the area that is now Texas maintained a variety of religious practices.  The majority of them embraced the idea of some type of supreme being and they all had creation stories.  They were usually not monotheistic; many held a belief in a variety of powers often organized in a form of hierarchy. For agricultural tribes, there were various ceremonies that accompanied the planting and harvesting of crops. Hunter-gatherers often sought the help of spirits before searching for game which served as food for the tribe. Most tribes saw the universe in three levels.  The upper level was one of predictability, lower level of chaos, and the level where humans lived which was a mixture of both of the other levels.  The world was divided into 6 regions, north, south, east, west, up, and down and the year had a cold period and a hot period. All believe there is a spirit in everything, including animals such as buffalo, wolves, bears, etc. Spiritual leader shaman,AKA medicine man while all shamans were medicine men, not all medicine men were shamans. Shamans in addition to using plants and instructions from spiritual helpers, they also went into trances to visit land of the dead, where they gathered information on the sickness. What were some of the Hunter-Gatherer Tribes and where did they live? Comanches – North Central / Northwest Texas Kiowas – Panhandle – shared territory with Comanche Held a summer Sun Dance – to insure regeneration of the Buffalo Tonkawas - Gulf Coast (Houston area) Venerated the Great Wolf Karankawas – Gulf Coast (shared territory with Tonkawas – inner gulf coast) Apache – (Lipan) South and Southwest Texas – (Mescalero) West Texas – El Paso Coahuiltecans (KOE-ha-HWEE-ta-kanz) Rio Grande valley in what is now southern Texas and northeastern Mexico Farmers Farming groups tended to revere the earth, corn, rain, sun, and developed their beliefs based on fertility, and crop cycles. Spiritual leader priest – The medicine man or woman, acted like Shamans even going into trances for healing help.  Priests, who most often were men, were religious specialists, had a long period of training valued not for healing abilities but because they knew the rituals and ceremonies to ensure bountiful harvests and healthy people. They also had witches who were evil.  Could change their appearance, become animals, or even sparks of a fire. They stole people's lives and souls.

“All of this together shaped how I began to think about mind, not as something to be mastered, but as a landscape of the unspoken whether it was ghosts or griefs or desires that were hard to relinquish. I saw that the ghost was not always an ‘other'. It was often intimate, tied to lost ones, sometimes to unmet desires, to unbearable longings, but in some ways possession was an attempt to keep close what was slipping away. The ghost doesn't just haunt, it feels as if it wants something, and we just have to learn to develop ears to listen to what it wants.”  Episode Description: We acknowledge Loewald's concept of 'ghosts becoming ancestors' and consider the similarities and differences with those who hold 'ghosts' to be literal. Shalini shares with us her journey to open herself to the uncertainty and ambiguity of these externalized entities while appreciating both their cultural and intrapsychic sources. We learn of her family's involvement with exorcisms, especially her grandmother's "fearless warmth" and "empathy that saw beyond the terror of the ghosts." She considers the many facets of mind that are represented by 'ghosts' and the essential value of approaching them as guides to the "landscape of the unspoken." Shalini describes a long term engagement that she had with an individual who "taught me to receive the inchoate and horrific...to contain the brokenness and not interpret it away.. and to appreciate the glimpses of beauty in the most grotesque parts of self."   Our Guest: Shalini Masih, a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and writer, grew up in India amidst priests and healers, witnessing spirit possession and exorcism. Now based in Worcestershire, UK, she holds a Master's degree in Psychoanalytic Studies from Tavistock & Portman, London, and a PhD from the University of Delhi. Mentored by psychoanalysts Michael Eigen and Sudhir Kakar, she's an award-winning scholar of the American Psychological Association. She has taught and supervised psychoanalytic psychotherapists in Ambedkar University, Delhi and in Birkbeck, University of London. Her acclaimed paper, 'Devil! Sing me the Blues', was nominated for Gradiva Awards in 2020.

In nature we have trees that who feed so many beings – humans, birds, insects, all that lives on the earth and air. And from a shamanic point of view these trees feel honored when we eat and feel nurtured from their fruits. But of course, then comes a cycle of regeneration of the silent process of going within to regenerate and become nourished again to have the strength tobloom in the spring and summer.This the most basic explanation of the cycle of life of the times when we grow horizontally and have the energy to give to others then shift into a time when we need to go within to our inner world to put our roots deep into the earth to draw up nurturance and raise our branches to the sky to draw down regenerative energy from the divine worlds.Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau as they speak about this important topic and inspire you to look at how to balance your cycles so you are living in a way where you feel fully nurtured before you offer help to others and the planet.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin welcomes Dr. Simon Ruffell, a psychiatrist, ayahuasca researcher, and student of curanderismo. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-300/?ref=278 Simon shares his transformative journey from being a skeptical Western psychiatrist to embracing the spiritual dimensions of plant medicine after experiencing what he describes as an "ontological shock" during an ayahuasca ceremony. He discusses his ongoing apprenticeship with Shipibo curanderos in the Amazon, his research into ayahuasca's effects on mental health and epigenetics, and his work bridging indigenous wisdom with Western scientific understanding. Dr. Ruffell explores the differences between Western medical approaches and traditional healing practices, highlighting how the Shipibo focus on harmony and balance rather than fixing specific problems. Through his organization Onaya, he conducts reciprocal research with indigenous communities, studying how ayahuasca affects veterans with PTSD and examining the epigenetic changes that may explain its profound healing effects. Dr. Simon Ruffell is trained across three modalities: Western medicine (as a medical doctor specializing in psychiatry), research psychology (with a PhD in Amazonian ayahuasca and mental health), and traditional plant medicine (as a student of curanderismo). He is the Chief Medical Officer of MINDS, a nonprofit research organization exploring the potential of psychedelics and consciousness practices to address humanity's greatest challenges. Since 2015, his work has focused primarily on exploring ayahuasca while collaborating with indigenous communities in the Amazon basin. He is the CEO of Onaya and founded the nonprofit Onaya Science, which researches the effects of ayahuasca in naturalistic Amazonian settings. Dr. Ruffell's work seeks to understand plant medicines from both Indigenous and Western perspectives, and he is currently training in Shipibo Shamanism under Don Rono Lopez. Highlights: A spiritual attack during ceremony that shifted his perspective on reality Bridging indigenous wisdom with Western scientific research The difference between psychedelic guides and trained shamans Ayahuasca and epigenetics: clearing ancestral trauma How traditional medicine evolves and adapts over time Remarkable PTSD treatment outcomes with veterans Approaching healing as returning to harmony EEG research during ceremonial Icaros singing Shamans as navigational experts of the psychedelic realm When to choose Western medicine vs. traditional approaches Episode Links: Dr. Simon Ruffell's Website Onaya Onaya Science Episode Sponsor Psychedelic Coacing Isntitute's Intensive for Psychedelic Professionals in Costa Rica - a transformative retreat for personal and professional growth.

Death is a cycle of nature. We die with every change that happens to us in life. Due to so many illnesses circulating our over populated planet we are seeing death effect us all on a personal level. Loved ones and friends are dying at what feels untimely. No one is completely protected from the effects of toxins and the viruses and bacteria causing so much illness.Our generation is seeing deaths at a rate that makes us wake up to the preciousness of life and how we need to care for ourselves and our loved ones. Self care is so important right now. And being responsible for taking care of your affairs is so important as we are seeing the devastating impact on loved ones and families who are left with a legal mess. We have so many friends in this position.Renee and Sandra decided to take on this topic as Sandra is hearing about an alarming number of her students and acquaintances that are being left with closing down a loved ones life and they don't even know where to start.

In a lot of spiritual traditions gossip is a way to make people feel that they are superior to others who have made a misstep or who are not behaving in an ethical manner. It is true it is up to our communities to let people know when there are unethical teachers who are hurting others instead of truly teaching ethically from a place where they have done a lot of personal work to tame and transmute their shadow.When we can do this we end up creating unity which is so needed today. Division is separating all of us from joining together from a place of power. Join Renee and Sandra as they speak about the importance of lifting people up instead of creating more division in a divisive world. Join us as we celebrate life and unity!

"The field recording I worked with was of a 'Jaguar Whistle', an instrument designed to replicate the sound of a jaguar. My understanding is that in Mesoamerican cultures, the jaguar was a symbol of transformation, bridging the earthly and spiritual realms. Research suggested that Shamans and rulers sought to embody its power, believing they could take on its form to navigate the unseen world, and through ritual practices, including trance states and sacred ceremonies, they invoked the jaguar's essence to move between life and the underworld, gaining wisdom, strength, and protection.  "The jaguar's ability to thrive in darkness, water, and hidden places made it a guardian of thresholds, a being capable of transcending the boundaries of human existence. Without the understanding of the cultural importance of the jaguar, the significance of the whistle could be missed. Inspired by this, I created a piece that translates the original recording of the jaguar whistle into a musical form, reflecting its role in transformation and passage between realms."

There comes a moment in life when we look around and realize that the unseen is just as present as the tangible. That what we cannot touch, we can still feel. On today's episode, we welcome Julie Kramer, a seasoned shamanic practitioner who has spent decades walking between worlds, bridging the gap between the seen and the unseen, helping lost spirits find their way home, and guiding the living toward healing. Her journey into shamanism wasn't inherited or predetermined—it was a calling that arose from the depths of her soul.From a young age, she knew that reality stretched beyond what the eyes perceive. But it wasn't until she attended a retreat at Hollyhock in British Columbia that her true path revealed itself. There, she encountered the spirit world in a way that felt both entirely foreign and strangely familiar. As she describes it, “It just felt so natural. It felt so at once ordinary and extraordinary. It felt like I was coming home.” And isn't that the nature of truth? It startles us into recognition, yet it feels like something we've always known.Julie Kramer explains shamanism as the ancient art of recognizing the world as alive with spirit. To her, the practice is not about belief—it's about direct experience.Through rhythmic drumming, rattling, and song, she shifts into an altered state, one where the spirit world is no longer veiled. She describes this process as tuning a radio to a different frequency, where voices, visions, and insights pour in—not as abstract notions, but as vivid, undeniable realities.The spirit world, she tells us, is not a distant place. It is here, intertwined with our own, overlapping like two sheets of glass. And while many who pass on make their way to where they are meant to go, some remain behind—stuck, lost, or simply unaware that they are no longer among the living. “They don't know they're dead,” she says. “They literally don't know that they're dead, and they can become attached to us.” These attachments, she explains, can manifest as emotional struggles, persistent fears, even physical ailments. The work of the shaman is to guide these souls home, to release what lingers so that the living and the dead alike can find peace.Yet, this work is not about superstition or mysticism—it is rooted in evidence. “Shamans were the first medical doctors. They were the first therapists. They were the first priests and priestesses. They were the first mediators,” Julie Kramer reminds us. Long before modern medicine, there was the deep wisdom of those who listened to the land, to the spirits, to the rhythms of life itself. And in many ways, we are now returning to what was lost, relearning the language of the soul.As the conversation unfolds, she touches on something profound: healing is not just about the body—it is about the spirit. Many of the ailments that afflict us are not purely physical; they are rooted in spiritual imbalances, in energies we do not yet understand. When we realign with our own spiritual nature, when we listen to the guidance that is always present, healing begins not just within us, but within the world.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSThe spirit world is always present. We are never truly alone, and guidance is available to us when we learn how to listen.Healing begins with acknowledging the unseen. Many ailments, emotional and physical, have deeper roots in the spiritual realm. Addressing these imbalances can lead to profound transformation.Spiritual work is evidence-based. Shamanism is not about blind faith but direct experience—through deep connection, we can access wisdom that transcends time and space.In a world that often feels disconnected, where the tangible is valued above all else, Julie Kramer reminds us that there is more to reality than what we see. The spirit world is not a place apart—it is interwoven with our daily lives, waiting for us to acknowledge it, to engage with it, and to embrace the healing it offers. The unseen does not ask for our belief—it only asks that we pay attention.Please enjoy my conversation with Julie Kramer.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

In this extremely relevant show to the times we are living in, Renee and Sandra speak about an article in the New York Times where a psychologist talked about letting go of the need to forgive people who abused you but instead have compassion for what made them behave in such a destructive way.It is an interesting concept to think about today where people try to force forgiveness. Forgiveness can't be forced as it comes only at the right time when we have come to a new place in our life.Join Renee and Sandra as they explore the power of compassion in this show filled with a lot of old time wisdom.

Forbes Brasil called her “one of the most important futurists in the world.” It's hard for me to measure the impact she's had on business leaders, tech startups, marketing and communications firms, arts schools, and in the lives of the countless other people.We talk about the relationship between numbers, language, and the ineffable, ever-shifting human spirit. Adah's work points past knowledge and history into the elemental nature of both human and machine, past our differences into the deep similarity worth celebrating and the mystery that we inhabit and embody.

Sandra went to see the new Dylan movie which reminded her how tight the community was in the 1960s, and how they stood together during challenging times and did not sit down but connected and demonstrated.Today it seems like the spiritual community is more disconnected from each other and still have some work to do to transcend the ego and shadow states that want us to divide and use blaming behavior.Join Sandra and Renee for this important show on the need for the spiritual community to come together and stand together in order to help to make lasting changes for one's personal life and community.

 Do you believe in UFOs? Is it possible that there are extraterrestrials here on planet Earth? Do unidentified beings walk among us? This is so hard to imagine, but humanity is at a time where we can take a leap in consciousness and understand that this may be a possibility. Our guest today is the esteemed civil rights attorney, Daniel Sheehan. Daniel is Harvard-educated and has worked on high-profile cases such as the Karen Silkwood case and Iran Contra civil case. He is also at the forefront of the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) Disclosure movement which aims to bring transparency to this phenomenon. He is also the founder of the New Paradigm Institute and the Romero Institute, dedicated to social and environmental justice.   Today Danny talks about the direct link between spirituality and consciousness. When confronted by challenges, we can turn to spirituality. When we see how incredibly vast our universe really is, it's easier to imagine that we are not alone. There are different dimensions and different realities. We have limited understanding, but by opening up to exploration, and especially by learning from indigenous peoples, we can broaden our perspectives. As a civil rights attorney, Daniel has done  a lot of work with the Lakota people. He explains how they believe they come from the Pleiades in their spiritual tradition. This is a specific constellation visible to us.  They believe they have had a lot of encounters with Star People. The Shamans receive messages which they share within their community. We have evidence of tens of thousands of people having these encounters around the world. Now science is studying this phenomenon, and our government is investigating these incidents. Our worldviews depend on whether we view them as a threat, or as spiritual, enlightened beings. We are in a period right now where more people are open to this information. It may help us to answer profound questions – it may be a threat, or it may be an opportunity. We have Free Will and we can explore and determine our own answers. Daniel Sheehan will be speaking at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo at the LAX Hilton on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 2pm Pacific. His topic is “The Present State ‘Official U.S. Government Disclosure' of the UFO/E.T. Reality.” He will also have a post-conference on Monday, Feb. 10. The Conscious Life Expo held at the LAX Hilton in Los Angeles will take place Feb 7 – 10, 2025. Lisa Garr will be moderating the Radical Healing Panel on Sunday, Feb 9 at Noon Pacific.

There has been a cultural sea change over the last year when it comes to health in America. It is shepherded by an unexpected coalition of nutritionists, longevity experts, wellness influencers, holistic and functional medicine doctors, moms wearing babies and natural deodorant, mushroom shamans, and some vaccine skeptics. They've gathered under the banner of Make American Healthy Again, or MAHA, and they're here to tell us that plastic cutting boards, Diet Coke, and pasteurized milk—all things that once seemed perfectly normal in American life—are actually killing us.  A decade ago, if you read that list of personas you would think MAHA is some woo-woo, hippie progressive movement. But here we are in 2025, and this is the same group that helped usher Donald Trump to power.  What does MAHA stand for? What does it look like when it marries itself to power? And what will MAHA actually be able to accomplish over the next four years, under their fearless leader—and risky Health and Human Services nominee—Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?  Live in D.C. during inauguration weekend, Calley Means, Jillian Michaels and Vani Hari explain. Calley is the founder of Truemed and co-author of Good Energy. Jillian is America's original fitness expert and the author of nine books. Vani is the founder of Truvani, and you probably know her from her blog Food Babe. She also got Subway to remove “the yoga mat chemical” from its breads. And, the fact that there was a yoga mat chemical in its bread is the whole purpose of this conversation. Today, the three MAHA whisperers explain why this movement just might be the most powerful political force in American life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Can you imagine granting personhood to AI entities? Well, some of us couldn't imagine granting personhood to corporations. And yet... look how that panned out.In this episode, Steve talks with Duke law professor James Boyle about his new book, The Line: AI and the Future of Personhood. James explains the development of his interest in the topic; it began with the idea of empathy. (Then) moved to the idea of AI as the analogy to corporate personhood.  And then the final thing – and maybe the most interesting one to me – is how encounters with AI would change our conceptions of ourselves. Human beings have always tried to set ourselves as different from non-human animals, different from the natural universe.     Sentences no longer imply sentience. And since language is one of the reasons we set human beings up as bigger and better and superior to other things, what will that do to our sense of ourselves? And what would happen if instead of being a chatbot, it was actually an entity that more plausibly possessed consciousness. Steve and James discuss the ways in which science fiction affects our thinking about these things, using Blade Runner and Star Trek to look at the ethical dilemmas we might face. As AI becomes increasingly more integrated into our society, we will need to consider the full range of implications.  James Boyle is the William Neil Reynolds Professor of Law at  Duke Law School, founder of the Center for the Study of the Public Domain, and former chair of Creative Commons. He is the author of The Public Domain: Enclosing the Commons of the Mind, and Shamans, Software, and Spleens. He is co-author of two comic books, and the winner of the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Pioneer Award for his work on digital civil liberties.

In today's episode, I'll dive deep into the topic of fear and attachments - the hidden enemies that create suffering and prevent us from reaching our full potential. Based on a powerful dream conversation with Don Xavier, I share insights on how attachments to people, things, and ideas keep us locked in fear and away from the life lessons that help us grow.  I'll also explain how Shamans use dream time to communicate beyond the physical realm, allowing wisdom to be shared in ways we may not typically expect. Together, we explore the root of attachment and its power to dictate our emotional experiences.   From today's episode you'll learn practical steps for loosening these attachments and letting go of the fear that controls us.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Understanding Attachments as Your Biggest Enemy (01:27): How attachments bring fear, suffering, and keep us from joy.  The Shamanic Power of Dream Time (04:18): Insights on how Shamans, like Don  Xavier, use dream time to share guidance and wisdom.  The Link Between Attachment and Suffering (06:46): How letting go of attachment can lead to profound personal growth and transformation.  Practical Tips for Identifying Your Attachments (11:41): Learn how to become aware of the attachments in your life, and the negative patterns they create.  Learning to Let Go (20:16): Steps to start loosening attachments to find freedom, personal power, and greater inner peace.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway:  When we release our attachments, we not only free ourselves from fear and suffering but also open the door to true self-awareness and inner peace. By loosening the grip of attachment, we empower ourselves to live a life driven by choice rather than control.  Let's Connect:  The Jim Fortin Podcast Website  Instagram  Facebook  YouTube  LinkedIn    Mentioned Resources:  Start Your Transformation Now  Get Your Copy of My New Book - The Subconscious Solution  Learn More About The Double Slit Experiment
