Hello! I say,

Shamanizing by someone else wears off for anyone who doesn't keep
wearing it and refreshing it with awareness and action. Drops of
ecstasy sprayed out in the energy-flow of a visiting shaman-authority
or shaman-expert, unless taken to heart (and circulated through gut,
heart, and mind), will quickly evaporate or become adulterated.

Then the life-shifts fade too. With my own eyes: I saw a man walk
around for two days without the two crutches he had used for years,
after a faith-healing...then he returned to his everday
situation...and then he took up his crutches again that same
afternoon.

Shamantic! says 90% of shamanic shifting done for one by another
wears off. (From Jesus healing 10 people and sending them off, then
asking, when only one returned to thank him - who showed he had
turned himself around too, incorporating the healing - "Where are the
other nine?" - Luke 17:11-19)

If you receive a drop of ecstasy from a shaman, quick, gulp it down
and receive your own visions and dreams. Then make your own costume
and wear it, singing and dancing into new actions. What you keep
wearing won't wear off.

Don't take me seriously,

It is better to 'be your own shaman' in the first place.
