Shamanism is not a religion. It is something very similar to science &#8211; in essence it is science &#8211; it is not faith &#8211; it is not a religion. Shamanism is based on what we see, it is not blind faith in something.<br \/> Just as scientists\/inventors in different parts of the planet independently arrived at the same inventions and the same knowledge, shamanic teachings in all parts of the planet in indigenous cultures are, to great surprise, the same (e.g., the teaching of the basic 7 chakras, astral travel, a characteristic description of reality and worlds based on astral travel). There is only one knowledge \u2013 there is only one truth.<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Out-of-body_experience_astral_travel_is_the_basis_of_shamanism\"><\/span> <strong>Out-of-body experience, astral travel is the basis of shamanism<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p> What is it about?

Every person who does not have an explicitly atheistic-materialistic conviction has no problem believing that life does not end with the death of the body &#8211; that is, that the soul leaves the body and goes to other worlds. Christianity also believes in the afterlife. (Note: what will happen after death, of course, differs according to Christian and shamanic teachings). <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazitky-blizske-smrti.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.zazitky-blizske-smrti.cz\/<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C0JUDnwmhCo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=C0JUDnwmhCo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qn6jEIwsdmY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qn6jEIwsdmY<\/a><br \/> We also have information that people who found themselves on the brink of life and death had a so-called clinical death, had a so-called out-of-body experience, and saw their spirit leave their body (they looked down on their body from above).<br \/> Leaving the body is possible under certain specific conditions with some psychoactive substances such as DMT, psilocybin, LSD, DXM.<br \/> Furthermore, it is possible to leave the body using shamanic meditation techniques &#8211; this happens while lying down with your eyes closed.<br \/> For a person to develop the ability to leave the body, it requires persistent meditation training over many years &#8211; it is not that simple, although about 1% of people have better predispositions for it, making it much easier and simpler for them to learn to leave the body.<br \/> However, leaving the body is not yet a definitive victory: in order for a person to be able to comb through all astral levels, to orient themselves in them and to get into them at all, to be able to move through them, requires further hard and persistent training.<br \/><br \/> The original Amazonian shamans in Peru have preserved a several-thousand-year-old shamanic tradition from generation to generation. They are masters of leaving the body &#8211; as one of the few people, they really know how this world works. In the state of an abandoned body, shamans can communicate with high angelic beings, and these beings help them in healing or help them rid people of financial problems and other difficult life fates.<\/p><h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shamanism_vs_Religion\"><\/span> <strong>Shamanism vs. Religion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><p> Shamanism is not a religion &#8211; shamanism is not a blind religious faith in something.
