Shamans throughout the ages have employed various techniques to navigate the energetic realm. Rituals, chants, dance, and the use of sacred plants have all been common tools used to alter consciousness and access the spirit world. Through these and other practices, shamans establish a bridge between the seen and the unseen, gaining insights, healing powers, and the ability to influence the course of events.

The modern shaman focuses more on the power of the energetic world, bypassing but not negating the traditional practices and techniques of the shaman of ages past.
