The Sangoma is a spiritual medium and healer
in many African cultures, also known as shamans, priests, and prophets.
To establish a diagnosis by reading bones, gemstones and sticks from special trees are the divinity to detect spiritual energies that influencing a person.
The ritual of shouting and
harsh breath stimulates the psyche to communicate with the ancestors to help
with the identification of spirit energies to interpret the circumstance and
finding remedies to cure the affliction.
Sangomas are called by the
spirit and need to undergo extensive preparations of rituals that isolates all
external stimulation and the ego, to be in touch with the pure spirit.
Healing is a sacred quality
which is naturally strong in conscious aware people, but in many ignorant
people the soul quality is out of balance and afflicted by offending spirits.
All physical or mental illness is understood to originate in the spiritual
realm.
Sangomas like to use water
or practicing near rivers for healing and healing ceremonies and cleansing
rituals to purify themselves and others, to establish a new flow of energies to
take place.
It is the believe that
rivers and waterfalls have sacred energies, that have the divine circle of
eternal sacredness and must be used for Initiation, as water is a symbol of
life, like most religion have connection to water and baptism.
The Sangoma understands
that the universe is a sacred hidden lake in the spiritual world, which
nourishes all lives and gives intuitive orders to be able to make herbal
medicines, interpret dreams, incorporate spirits and predict the future.
The well trained spirit in
the development of the Sangoma creates the concern about the psychic unity and
harmony for the wellbeing of all humans and their ability to create that
relation as stepping stone for all relationships.
The force of life is full
of blessings, when one knows how to receive them, or the other side of that
picture is, where the body goes the shadow goes as well, like so is the truth
followed by falsehood.
The Sangoma speaks about
the longing of the heart, that deprives it of its freedom, are the poor spirits.
