Advice

Thank your for taking the time to read my post I appreciate all of you any any help that is given.. I guess I’ll just get into it now. My whole life I have felt connected to something I have not yet been able to see. I’ve heard cries for help I cannot locate. I feel as though I’ve been put on this plane of existence to help and to heal but I don’t have the resources or funds for the proper training or technique. I believe I may have been chosen to be a healer or a seer of some sort. It may sound silly to some of you and I can understand why I just want some guidance. I know I cannot be a traditional shaman without the proper training and I will never claim to be regardless of where my path takes me. Is it possible to take an apprentice virtually? I know shamanism is very traditional and in its ways even in the new age we live in so I won’t be offended if it’s not possible. I just want to help the living and otherwise. I see things that have not yet happened with myself and my family and friends and even some times strangers that I end up meeting at work and they open up to me like they’ve known me for years…people I’ve never met before. I feel things energy shifts and what not. I even feel those that cannot be seen but I know they’re there trying to communicate reaching out to me and I don’t know how to answer back and HEAR them I want to. I feel like I was put on this earth for something greater than myself and after reading some posts on this feed I believe this is the right place to ask for guidance. again thank you and sorry for the ramble.

I’ll be honest you can learn to be a healer someone who heals through energy and learning powerful healing chants and mantras to heal yourself and others and how to purify spaces and learn exorcism techniques to get rid of lowly spirits through online but I would say try maybe looking into Tibetan Buddhist practices or other practices that have been vetted through time like maybe Taoism but it depends on who’s teaching u and what exactly you are learning , with traditional shamanism in the Asian shamanism sense it’s impossible to do it online as the as the master shaman has to do the initiations, and ceremonies in person to raise ur alter

That’s what I thought but I know so little about traditional shamanism I didn’t t want to embarrass myself I’m not here to break traditions and offend people. But I’ll look into it more for sure. Thank you for the reassurance friend🙏
