The Tantric Shamanism Institute offers tools for healing and spiritual transformation that can unlock the doors between ordinary reality and non-ordinary reality. When these doors open, It is possible to expand your concept of what is possible. That expansion can free you to live a bigger life, liberating you to become a fuller manifestation of yourself than your previous self-concept would allow you to be, making the possible probable.

Learn how to create more peace and balance in your life through spiritual means by the practices of shamanism, spiritual healing, tantra, metaphysics and sacred art. You can do this in our online program as well as participate in private and group healing sessions  in Nevada, Northern CA, and  through our national and international seminars and retreats.

What is Tantric Shamanism?

The word tantra is derived from two root words. "Tan" comes from tanoti, which means expansion. "Tra" is derived from trayati, with means liberation. Through Tantra, we are given tools to expand our consciousness and weave our perception of all creation as limitless and indivisible as the Divine experience. This expansion liberates our energy, increasing our potential on every level. Some tantric tools for transformation are meditation, visualization, the recitation of mantras, pranayama (breath practices,) Awareness exercises, devotional practices, and physical practices, such as hatha yoga. Some tantric practitioners, particularly in the West, practice Tantra by approaching sexuality from a sacred perspective.

A Tibetan Lama once told me the meaning of Tantra was: "To become a living manifestation of Divinity, to become God/Goddess."

The tantric way approaches life without judgment of right and wrong. It sees all of life as sacred and indivisible from Divinity.

Perhaps a good way to describe the path of tantra might be: Expanding consciousness in order to experience yourself as a fully manifest expression of Divinity, which is the achievement of complete liberation of consciousness from limitation."

The word "shamanism" originates from the nomadic tribal people of Siberia. The word "shaman" means "to know."A Shaman in that culture is a medicine man or woman who might perform healing both by physical means, (herbs, massage, etc..) and by spiritual means.

Our modern day culture has adopted this word to describe techniques whereby the practitioner travels between the worlds of spirit and of form for healing and to gain understanding of

the nature of reality. People who are shamanic practitioners believe that the world of spirit interpenetrates our third dimensional reality, effecting all aspects of physical reality. By mediating between the

realm of spirit, and the realm of form, profound changes can be made that can effect not only our consciousness, but the quality of our lives within the context of physical reality.

Tantric Shamanism uses our ability to move between the worlds of spirit and form in order to expand and liberate our consciousness, bringing us closer to a state of Divinity.
