Setting the stage for our training we will explore the similarities and difference between Yoga and Shamanism.

We will clarify Sanskrit words such as chakra, samskara, nadi, shakti, karma, and prana.

We will heal our past and nourish our future. Shamans are called Wounded Healers. We will transform our wounds and traumas into power and compassion.
Power Animals
Session 2, November 14-15, 2009
Both the yogic and the shamanic traditions tap into the archetypes of power animals; as allies, advisors and protectors. We will study the Chakra totem and discover the animals and their symbolisms in Hindu mythology and yoga postures as well as the shamanic way of walking with your power animal.

As we move into the awareness of no internal conflict and inner peace, we let go of external grasping, projections, and energy struggles. As Jaguar Path healers we no longer experience life as a problem, but rather walk as part of the solution.

We will explore three profound shamanic journeys. We will benefit from their healing and empowering process, as well as learn how to lead others through them. We will experience deep Savasana (the corpse pose) coming to understand this posture as a portal to the underworld (the subconscious mind).

Warriors Shield

Tracking and Seeing

Using the Passwords
Session 8, May 15-16, 2010
