This is the third episode in a 4 part series on "Shamanic Initiations." In this episode, Shamanic practitioner and teacher Dory Cote answers questions about Shamanic Initiation.
The episode includes the following questions:
• In your teaching of shamanism, do you deliberately guide students through initiation experiences? [0:29]
• For the initiations that you just discussed, it sounds like there was a limiting of the physical senses in order to enrich or tune into a different kind of sensing and receiving and acting. Is that accurate? [7:00]
• Is it safe to use the analogy that in some ways initiations are like intense workouts that strengthen spiritual muscles to be able to act and interact with Spirit? [8:25]
• You have worked with many students in different kinds of initiations. Do you find that there is a common set of skills, or is the way of working with Spirit unique to each soul? [9:28]
• Do students emerge from a deliberate initiation experience being altered in some way? [11:46]
• Do students continue to feel “different” after an initiation experience? [13:40]
• This completes our questions. Do you have any thing else that you would like to add at this time? [18:50]
