Neo-Shamanism
Neo-Shamanism is a modern spiritual practice that draws inspiration from traditional shamanic practices found in various indigenous cultures. It often involves the use of rituals, meditation, and altered states of consciousness to connect with spiritual realms, nature, and the self. Practitioners may seek guidance from spirit animals or ancestors, using techniques like drumming or chanting to facilitate their experiences.
Unlike traditional shamanism, which is deeply rooted in specific cultural contexts, Neo-Shamanism is more eclectic and accessible. It allows individuals to adapt shamanic practices to their personal beliefs and lifestyles, often incorporating elements from New Age spirituality, psychology, and holistic healing.
