Shamanic teacher Dr. J and Dawn of the Era share their stories of shamanic death. In order to become a shaman, the death experience shatters the ego. This makes it easier to speak from the ‘true voice’ rather than opinion/judgement. A healer, shaman, or spiritual guide must be careful not to come from a place of ego or they will take on the karma of the people seeking help. This is why many psychics and healers become so ill in the practice. Once the shamanic death has transformed the healer, they often have access to working with deities. Susan worked extensively with Tara after her initiation.
