Hello!

What does shaman mean? Are you speaking of red road shaman? There appears to be celtic shaman way as well.

I think shaman choses you. Healer chose me.

My first teacher was inupiat shaman / healer. He taught me healer. I came away from this year of teaching / apprenticeship thinking that the walk of shaman is most difficult and dangerous. He was the real deal and yet fell off the wagon and hurt himself.

I've done lots of thinking about all of this as well as writing. Maybe it is the power that one acquires that one must be responsible for. For example if you are processing emotionally so as not to have your powerful thoughts fly off and hurt someone one should maybe put a containment around self so as to protect the innocent. This is what I think.

There must be other shaman ways. I choose the red road, I like simple and the walk of peace and joy. I am trained in healing now these twenty some years.

Am interested in how things are here. Blessings.

Joyful
