This although does not play a role in modern medicine, this understanding has a long history most notably introduced by the 16th century alchemist and philosopher Paracelsus, who in his famous Doctrine of Signatures treatise proposes his premises which are based upon the view that Nature itself is a living organism which must be considered as an expression ...

The Shaman's Path - A Journey Into Timeless Worlds By: H G Charing | - Shamanism is not a system of belief or faith, it is a system of knowledge, and is directly experienced first hand by the senses. Shamanism has always been a way for living as humans on our planet Earth, both in balance within ourselves and the world of which we are part.
The shamans say that plants connect us with nature because they take their nourishment directly from the earth, as well as the sun's rays, the air, and water. They allow us to know and recognize ourselves. A shaman must know this and must love his people to heal them. Here are just a few of the plant healers.
The Worlds Of The Shaman - An Exploration Of Reality By: H G Charing | - Shamanism is not a system of belief or faith, it is a system of knowledge, and is directly experienced first hand by the senses.

The Shaman is the mediator between the ordinary world and an alternate reality.

Soul Retrieval is a classical shamanic practice, and in some communities it was the primary method of maintaining health or power. The word soul equates to our life-force, and in shamanic terms we are a composite of souls', or life-force, and this explains why we can become fragmented.

Plant Spirit Shamanism - Developing Your Relationship With The Plant Spirits By: H G Charing | - Every tree, every plant, has a spirit. People may say that the plant has no mind. I tell them that the plant is alive & conscious. A plant may not talk, but there is a spirit in it that is conscious, that sees everything, which is the soul of the plant, its essence, what makes it alive. The channels through which the water & sap move are the veins of the spirit.
We are not talking about passive agents of transformation, we are talking about an intelligence, a consciousness, an alive and other mind, a spirit, which of course we have no place in our society. Nature is alive and is talking to us. This is not a metaphor.
