10 SIGNS YOU ARE A SHAMAN...and why that is.
1 You feel at home in nature. You love plants and rocks. You're always gathering rocks, feathers and driftwood from the beach. you like mountain tops. Why? Because nature reflects the innocence within you, as well as the multI-dimensional existence you feel deep within, and when you're on top of a mountain you feel closer to the sun which in shaman terms, is Source.
2 When you meditate you go off on a journey. You see elements, animals, indigenous spirits. Why? Because you are in training with the spirits who want to show you who you are and where you've been.
3 You always felt different as a child. Why? Because you were mostly aligned with the spirit world and felt it strange to fit in with this world.
4 You prefer to be alone. Crowds are difficult to manage. Why? Because an uncontrolled shaman often absorbs the brainwaves from others, which can leave them feeling swamped and confused.
5 Your childhood was especially difficult. Why? Because a shaman is one who has walked through hell in order to help others to overcome fear.
6 You feel a calling to something bigger but you haven't yet worked out what it is. Why? Because a shaman has many guides in the spirit world, and those guides are constantly calling you to work with them, and because of their lighter frequency they can feel big and sometimes overwhelming. When you embrace this calling, that is when you begin to feel at home with them. You feel more self actualized and filled with purpose.
7 You have experienced much psychic phenomena in your life. Why? Because your natural ability to open vortices into the spirit world is great, and spiritual energy uses these vortices to make their mark on the physical world.
8 You have had unexplained illness in the past, especially mental. Why? Because your energy gravitates towards the world of spirit, and so your mind is over stressed, hence mental illness. And with not enough energy getting to your body, hence illnesses such as Fybromyalgia, Fatigue, Joint Pain.
9 You have had a 'wake up call'. Why? Because your guides in Spirit will be impressing upon you all your life, and if you do not answer this will attract a sudden and acute accident, illness, or near death experience. You will be 'stopped' in order to make you listen and make a decision about your life.
10 You are deeply compassionate and sensitive to others. Why? Shamans are empathetic, feeling what others feel. You will need to learn how not to let this affect you.
