The shaman is the one who is attributed the ability to modify reality or the collective perception of it, so that they do not respond to a causal logic. This can be expressed finally, for example, in the ability to heal, to communicate with spirits and to present visionary and divinatory skills. ## Identity https://www.saludterapia.com/images/saludterapia/glosario/chamanismo/chamanismo-pan.jpg

Shamans are attracted to helping people, either as a therapist or as a teacher. They may be psychologists, healers, teachers, nurses, etc. Even if your profession is not directly related to helping people, your intentions to contribute to the highest welfare of humanity is clearly present. His vision of life is tinged with a spiritual sense of how all things are related to one another. They consciously or unconsciously carry memories within them of non-terrestrial spheres of light.

Maybe it will help an example of a spiritual practice like fasting. Fasting is a practice found in many religious traditions. And it can be done for different reasons based on religious beliefs that you put in the fast. ## What they use for the rites https://gnosticwarrior.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Indians-ritual.jpg
