Shamanism: An Ancient Tradition

Shamanism not only predates Western medicine, but is practiced with great homogeneity throughout the world. With a focus on knowing through direct perception rather than cognition, shamans search for the causes and cures for illnesses by contacting spirits through a trance-like state of consciousness. This intriguing program cuts across cultures and national boundaries to delve into the world of shamanic medicine. Shamans, ritualistic dancers, an anthropologist, a psychologist, a doctor, and others investigate this form of traditional healing, contrasting it with Western medical science. (39 minutes)
