Traditionally, in indigenous cultures, the shaman is a social worker as well as healer. He/she sees a need in the community and tends to it. Shamans channel the Earth’s energy as well as access other dimensions to receive information for healing. Gifts from the Earth such as stones, feathers, plants and clay are often used, as well as the vibration of a drum or rattle. A shamanic life is one of living in balance with the Earth and all of her creatures.
