How do I recognise if my gifts are shamanic?
Hello everyone, how do I recognise whether my gifts are shamanic?
I’ve been spiritual since 2021, but only recently my practice became more intense.
I went through a hard time with some chronic health issues in 2024-2025 for a year in which I became more and more connected with my soul to the point of begging it to show me who I really am. It told me to leave my old life behind and I left my ex. The moment I left, my health issues were healed. I then started communicating with my soul daily, new opportunities aligned for me. It wasn’t easy, I was struggling a lot doing inner work, but the physical circumstances seemed to be aligning enough for me to survive (and “force” me into the inner work).
I also have been having visions triggered by various types of music like drums and trance. My soul sometimes instructs me to do certain rituals I’ve never heard of, I feel it as an urge within my body to bow/dance/do whatever it wants me to do.
For a year now, I have also been feeling tingling in my body which I discovered is not physical but rather energetic. I’m not yet sure what it’s meant to tell me.
I feel strong connection with nature, like the woods, trees, magpies, foxes and the earth/ground.
Earlier this year I also channeled writings that I didn’t write with my logical mind, they just poured out of me. They surprised me.
I am originally from eastern Europe, a country that had its pre-Christian culture erased so long ago that I cannot find any mentions of what was there before accepting church. I heard there are shamans in Russia, although I am not from there.
I can see my mother and grandmother have some gifts too, but they don’t think about it.
Just a note, I have recently found out I’m autistic.
I’ve had this question for a while but only made a reddit account recently… I’d really appreciate some advice 🙏 I don’t personally know anyone who could tell me more about it.
