The 10 Shamanic Totems: Central, Tonal, Nahual & 7 chakras

One of the best known shamanic practices is with totems or animals of power.

There are many workshops that teach you how to find your animal of power, but few of them teach that there are different types of animals of power with specific functions and that you not only have one animal of power, but you have several animals.

We have the tonal animal of power or totem, which will help us in our daily life, the execution of our material goals and our correct manifestation in earthly life.

We also have the Nahual animal of power or totem, which will help us to expand our consciousness, this is the ultimate goal of shamanism! Access other dimensions of consciousness. The Nahual Totem will help us navigate these unknown worlds.

Also, we have the totems or animals of power referring to each main chakra or energetic points in our body (7 in total), which will help us maintain our balance and health.

In this course, we will do a complete immersion on the animals of power, not limiting to just one, but studying the 10 different types of animals of power.

The distinguishing feature of shamanism is its focus on an ecstatic trance state. In which the soul of the shaman leaves the body and ascends to heaven or descends to earth (underground world). The shaman, in shamanism, makes use of spiritual helpers, with whom he-she communicates at all times maintaining control over his-her own conscience.

There are many variants of shamanism in the world. The following are the beliefs shared by all forms of shamanism. It is necessary to clarify that shamanism comes from the word “shaman”, typical of the eastern region of Siberia. Although, as Mircea Eliade points out in his attempt to make a general history of shamanism, there are a diversity of shamans around the world. They are characterized by being healers and spiritual guides who travel for different dimensions.

The ability to consciously go beyond the physical body is the traditional specialty of the shaman. These Soul journeys can take the shaman to the lower realms or higher levels of existence or to parallel physical worlds or other regions of this world. For all cases, the presence of the guide and protection of the animals of power is very important.
