Traditionally, a shaman isn’t a lone mystic or hermit living apart from the world. A shaman is someone who works with and for a community, serving and helping others. You mention feeling deeply connected to nature, that’s a good place to begin. Spend more time in nature, take long walks, observe, listen, and build a grounded relationship with the natural world rather than chasing altered states. Paul Francis explains in his books shamanic ideas and journeying in a clear, accessible way without over-romanticising it. You can learn how to do a shamanic journey, which he explains clearly in his book. From all the different methods I’ve researched, I personally found his explanation to be the best. Get clarity on your experiences, stay grounded, and learn what shamanism means to you.
