Master Carlos Peruvian Shaman

I have many years of experience as a shaman; I worked together with my

grandmother who was the most well known shaman in Peru.

Around 25 years ago she started allowing me to conduct shamanic

ceremonies on my own after many years of training. Every year I head

back to my small town to continue my training as you never stop

learning the shamanic ways.

I learned from my grandmother who took me as her apprentice at an

early age. It is custom and tradition for a shaman to pick a successor

early on and begin training when they see fit.

The main ceremonies that I perform are:

- Extraction and rid of bad/evil energies.

- Cleansing rituals (Cleansing of your personal space and/or home,

(“baños de florecimiento”) "Flowering Baths" for prosperity).

- Blessing ceremonies with the aid of mesadas (allowances) and palo santo.

- Protection rituals against evil energies for both the individual and

their home.

I use my shamanic abilities to help those who are in need of either

spiritual guidance or cleansing. I do this by channelling my many years of

experience to perform the required ritual tailored to each patient.

Having been a Shaman for many years it is hard to pin point a single

experience; I get a lot of gratitude and sometimes notice a big change in

demeanour and energy as soon as the rituals conclude. Seeing people in

need feel happier and better is by far the most gratifying experience I

can have as a shaman.

When one conducts shamanic rituals you are faced with a wide variety

of challenges depending on the circumstance that the patient finds

himself in. Each shamanic ritual is tailored to the patient and thus the

challenge we must overcome is different from ritual to ritual.

I make sure that my practices are done to the best of my abilities, by

channelling my many years of experience and always having a spiritual

connection with my grandmother who is my spiritual guide. I listen to

your needs and use my experience to make sure that the ritual is

tailored to you and we can directly confront the problems you are

facing.

The best advice I can give to anyone willing to explore the world of

shamanic rituals would be to keep an open mind, be patient, level

headed and truly believe in the spiritual world. To not stray away from

your spiritual path and learn from whoever is willing to guide you as the

shamanic world is definitely very complex.

I stay connected to the spiritual realm through my continued travels

back to my home town in the amazon; where I connect with nature and

other shamans. In addition, I ensure to always maintain a spiritual

connection with my guide and master (my grandmother).

The most important lesson I have learned through my many years of being

a shaman would be to keep an open mind and to maintain a constant

and strong connection to my spiritual guide.
