Hey Smile.. I guess depending on what culture you're talking about, shaman can mean something different.

As for me.. I'm being trained by a mayan shaman. He was also my Reiki Master.. of which I went through Reiki training (hands on healing) and I've been a Reiki Master now for about 18 months.

What I believe as I become a Shaman is that I'll consider my self a healer in every sense - spiritual, physical, emotional, etc. I will connect with the Universal Life Force at all times. I am One and One is me.

It's an exciting experience and I'm so glad to be following this path.
