Shamanism is the ancient form of healing practiced in many different cultures. The origin of the word "Xaman" is however not very clear. It exists in the ancient Maya languages of Meso-America and can be also found in a region around southern Russia and northern Mongolia.
According to Shamanism, the origin of a sickness or other physical imbalance originated in the separation of body and spirit. Therefore shamanic practices of all cultures emphasize the unification of spirit and body.
Shamanism connects the original force of the earth and of the universe. In our era shamanism is necessarily much more universal than in ancient times, when it was a more locally practiced healing work in a closed society. This is the background for the formation of a new shamanic generation, which momentarily is coming up in the world: Shamans, who move around the world like in their own homes.
