Embarking on a shamanic healing journey can be a profound and transformative experience.
Whether you're a newcomer or someone seeking to deepen your understanding, here are some valuable resources and practices to guide you on your shamanic path:
1. Books to Dive Into:
"The Way of the Shaman" by Michael Harner: A classic introduction to shamanic practices and core shamanism.
"Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide" by Sandra Ingerman: Practical guidance on shamanic journeying for personal healing.

2. Online Courses:
In 2024 Billie will begin offering virtual courses on shamanic healing, providing accessible learning experiences from the comfort of your home.
3. Podcasts for Insight:

4. Guided Shamanic Journeys:
Find guided journeys on platforms like YouTube or meditation apps. These can be powerful tools for self-discovery and healing.
5. Connect with a Shamanic Community:
Explore local or online communities where you can share experiences, seek advice, and connect with like-minded individuals on a similar path.
6. Explore Plant Medicines Responsibly:
If you're drawn to plant medicine retreats, ensure they are facilitated by experienced, ethical practitioners. Ayahuasca, peyote, or psilocybin can offer profound healing but should be approached with caution and respect.
7. Attend Workshops and Retreats:
Attend workshops or retreats offered by reputable shamanic practitioners. These immersive experiences can accelerate your healing journey.
8. Incorporate Rituals into Daily Life:
Create simple rituals like smudging, connecting with nature, or setting intentions to infuse shamanic practices into your daily routine. Please use sage or palo Santo with intention and deep respect for these plant allies.
9. Practice Mindfulness and Meditation:
Ground yourself through mindfulness and meditation, essential components of shamanic healing. Apps like Insight Timer offer guided sessions.
10. Seek Guidance from a Shamanic Practitioner:
Consider working with a shamanic practitioner for personalized guidance. They can assist you in navigating challenges and provide insights tailored to your journey.
Remember, the shamanic path is deeply personal, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. Embrace the practices that resonate with you, stay open-minded, and honor the wisdom of your own journey.
