What are the psychological effects of the practice of the shamanic journey? Is it dangerous, as well as helpful? On a larger scale, what might be the results of people journeying together consistently? Does that help create a new mythology for the shamanic community?
As a long-time practitioner and teacher of shamanic practice, I am always curious about many aspects of the shamanic journey. I also get questions from students and other practitioners about the psychology of the journey and how it might positively or negatively affect the psyche of the practitioner. I am also interested in the effects of the practices on the larger group, the community. I asked my friend and colleague, who is a counselor and storyteller if he would help me answer some of my questions. Here is a record of our fascinating discussion. It is pretty long, compared to my other videos, but it is entertaining as well as informative.
The video of this discussion is available on YouTube.
Gerry Starnes, M.Ed, award-winning author, teacher, and practitioner shares topics of shamanism and shamanic practices for everyday living.
