Tuvan Shamanism
Tuvan Shamanism is a spiritual practice originating from the Tuvan people in Siberia, Russia. It involves connecting with the spirit world through rituals, music, and trance states. Shamans, who are spiritual leaders, act as intermediaries between the human and spiritual realms, seeking guidance and healing for their communities.
Central to Tuvan Shamanism is the belief in the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of nature. Rituals often include the use of traditional instruments like the Igil, a two-stringed instrument, and chanting to invoke spirits. This practice emphasizes harmony with the environment and respect for ancestral traditions.
