Shamanism is an ancient tradition which may offer profound insights into the healing process and to our whole understanding of health. It has an extensive historical and geographical distribution and may contain elements essential to our understanding of humanity. Nowadays, in non-indigenous cultures, shamanism is studied and practiced as a life path.
Following a shamanistic perspective, individuals seek to be in relationship with the spirit in all things. The nurse provides spiritual care by supporting the client’s practice of spirituality.
Patients seek to use information and guidance from non-ordinary reality to intentionally form their own life experience.(Fontaine, 2019). Any healing process – whether recovery from infection, physical trauma, or psychological distress – must entail the stimulation and direction of the body’s own restorative functions and nurses must be there for their patient and support each practice to restore the health.
Sometimes such modulation may be brought about intentionally either by the patient or by a nurse or healer. One body of technique for such modulation is shamanism, which pays particular attention to bridging the internal world of the patient to the external world where the problem originates. Shamanic practice is specifically focused on this healing task and has its own toolkit of techniques for the modification of consciousness, the manipulation of imagery and meaning, and the generation of a healing milieu and therapeutic images from its mythic content.
