City Voices Interview with Shamanic Practitioner Renu Paryani

What is a shaman? Shaman believe that all “problems” –whether physical or emotional–have a source in energy. Shaman then located that energy lying at a problem’s source and shift it, causing the symptoms of the problem to shift as well.

Why go to a shaman? There are many reasons to go to a shaman: emotional depression, anxiety, long-lasting periods of grief, anger, a sense of dread. Physical symptoms such as recurring nightmares, autism, addiction, or disease (especially stress-related illnesses or unexplained physical pain) are also problems one might bring to a shaman session. The cause of these problems may be obvious, such as a response to some sort of trauma. Distress emanating from relationship-based issues like divorce, infidelity, toxic family or work relationships, even the inability to get pregnant are also clear sources of pain. All of these can often be helped by a shaman.
