A SHAMAN'S TALE OF BECOMING

Is it possible to experience life in a whole new way? Nikki Hainstock explored every available avenue to make sense of her world, battling depression through her childhood and early adulthood. In her relentless pursuit of healing, she embraced all possibilities. However, it was the tragic death of a baby that unveiled the profound and ancient, earth-based practices of Shamanism to her.

Witnessing the transformative power of Shamanism on someone she loved, Nikki immersed herself completely in this ancient practice. “Living Shamanism” chronicles her over eighteen years of international practice in Shamanism, sharing stories that might not take you anywhere yet could lead you everywhere.

How To Be A Good Human
Teachings & Practices that Improve Life & Relationships

The Twelve Teachings: Books that Improve Life

Being a human can be hard. We all deal with the consequences of being in physical form. We sometimes think our experiences are unique or different, but ultimately, they are not. The experience of being human is one all humans share. The patterns and themes of relationships are our common learning. There are tools that can help us to navigate the complexities of being a human and they are rather simple. This book shares twelve of them. If each of us worked with these simple twelve steps, not only would we love and like our Selves and our own lives a whole lot more, but our entire world would change for the better.

WHAT BROUGHT ME TO THE WORK | THE MEDICINE JOURNEY

Step into purpose and live
your authentic and most
sacred self.

Shamans are people who have been trained in mastering living energy. We scientifically understand that everything is molecules with atomic vibrations. Shamans have learned how to work with the energy systems of the Earth, the Elements, the Skies, the ancestors, the animals, the people. Underneath any ethical shamanic practice is the fundamental concept of Right Relationship-to our bodies, to our families, to others, to food, to our past, to our future, to “God” or “Creator”. Shamans work in a variety of ways to help organize living energy.

I was brought to shamanic work through witnessing a close friend undertake a medicine wheel after her life had been struck by tragedy. At this point I had explored so many healing modalities out there, from psychiatry, counselling and depth psychology to dream analysis, EMDR, aromatherapy, reflexology, reiki, to addiction therapy, regression therapy and hypnotherapy, to name a few. My friend transformed more in the course of a year than I had witnessed in any other kind of healing. I was drawn to do my own training. Through the tools and practices brought to me from the Medicine Wheel, I felt dramatic and tangible shifts in how I experienced life. My perception of literally everything changed and I received what I felt was a road-map to living in joy. [Read More]
