Although conflicting ideas exist about the origin of the shaman, it
is clear that these individuals exist across culture and history.
Research has indicated that a specific altered state of
consciousness (ASC) exists that the shaman utilizes to help the
individual or group heal. Discrepancies in understanding the
shaman's experience of ASC had led to the call for further research
in this area. This phenomenological study aimed to investigate the
shaman's experience of the ASC. Results indicated that the shaman's
evolution was based on the criteria associated with the wounded
healer archetype as well as conditions associated with the
individuation process of Jung. Based on the narratives of the five
participants, the results suggest that the shaman is a person who
has an expanded understanding of the consciousness experience. This
contrasts what Western society has understood about consciousness.
The study also revealed the shaman's experience of the ASC was
accomplished through a pattern of development that resulted in each
participant acquiring the status of shaman.
