Shamanic Healing - part two 

 A Shamanic Perspective of an Illness

An illness might manifest on an emotional, mental or physical level but the shaman looks at the spiritual aspect of an illness.  From a shamanic perspective there are three classic causes of illness: power loss, soul loss and having a spiritual intrusion. 

Most times there are a combination of the three.   

Power Loss

Typical symptoms of power loss are chronic depression, chronic suicidal 

tendencies, chronic illness and chronic misfortune.
