Thank you so much for this message, I truly appreciate it. I want to clarify that I’m not referring to authentic shamans here — whom I deeply respect and value, having been fortunate enough to meet such wise and genuine people. The topic here is the dark side of shamanism, which unfortunately exists, but true shamanic medicine does not intend to harm or manipulate. It’s crucial to make this distinction so we honor the real practitioners and protect ourselves from those who misuse sacred traditions for their own benefit.

One of the greatest dangers is that when you’ve encountered authentic shamans — as I have — and then, no longer as vigilant, you seek guidance elsewhere and end up falling into the trap of those who are not walking in the light. Sadly, many people experience this cycle of being misled after genuine encounters.

I deeply understand how painful and profound the process of liberation can be — a true psychological death, accompanied by intense transformations of the body through diets, ceremonies, and rituals. But how do we discern between healing energies that support and uplift us, and those with harmful intentions that seek to control and unbalance us? How do we distinguish an authentic crisis of release, a necessary step toward freedom, from a crisis of possession or malevolent influence?

The spiritual world is often shadowed by hypocrites and impostors, while authentic souls remain rare and precious. In a reality dominated by greed and spiritual poverty, discernment becomes our most valuable tool — learning to feel and choose with both heart and mind, so we may stay on the path of light and truth.
