SHAMANISM IN A NUTSHELL

Central Asia is one of the first regions on earth where shamanism has developed. Anatolian Turks whom migrated from Central Asia and Mongolia were shamans long before they accepted Islam as primary religion. After transformation, they have kept their shamanic traditions until today and blended the islamic teachings to form a unique and advanced way of belief system and philosophy, which is Sufism. 

Shamans were the first doctors, healers, teachers and mentors of the human race in ancient tribes. They’re ambassadors, perceiving life in multiple dimensions and work as a bridge between worlds. Today, shamanic wisdom and healing is coming back towards modern life in order to prepare humans of Earth to a higher level of consciousness.
