I often meet people who ask the question: “Why do I try to be a good person, yet people treat me badly?”
The answer is rarely pleasant because it is not about fate, evil eye, or spirits. It is about the energy a person radiates.

It is simple: you do not receive what you deserve. You receive what you allow.

The first reason is when kindness turns into servitude.
If a person constantly tries to please everyone, rescues others, adapts to everyone’s needs, and forgets about himself, he begins to radiate the energy of submission. The world senses it. Then people who are very comfortable playing the role of masters enter his/her life. Not because they are villains. Energy simply seeks balance.

The second reason is when a person gives himself away for free. The exchange of energy is considered a law of balance. If you constantly give your time, strength, attention, and help without receiving anything in return, it's like opening your home and placing a sign on the door that says: “Take whatever you want, the owner does not mind.” This kind of life attracts consumers. They easily sense where they can take without responsibility.

The third reason is when you are afraid to protect your boundaries. Weakness attracts those looking for convenient resources. If a person cannot say “no,” cannot defend himself, and cannot show strength, life begins to test his limits, because of an ancient survival law: energy flows where resistance is weakest.

Being kind is not a mistake. The mistake is confusing kindness with self-sacrifice. True kindness always walks beside strength. A good person is not someone who can be used. It is someone who knows how to give, but also knows how to close the door when someone enters without permission.

When a person begins to respect his own value, the space around rearranges. Some people leave on their own. Others begin to treat them differently. And those who remain are the ones who know how to exchange energy honestly.

Where in your life do you give more than you receive?

Feeding the Ancestors is not an everyday domestic action. It is a ritual and symbolic practice carrying deep spiritual and psychological meaning.

Why is this done?

To maintain the connection between worlds

Food is seen as a universal form of energy. It is believed that the souls of ancestors, existing in another realm, no longer possess physical bodies, yet they still require the spiritual essence of food — its aroma, its energy, its subtle life force. By offering food, the living symbolically share their vitality and remembrance with those who came before them.

To sustain the strength and status of the ancestors

Ancestors who receive offerings are believed to transform into powerful guardian spirits capable of guiding and supporting the living. Without offerings and remembrance they may weaken, becoming restless or lost, which symbolically reflects a broken connection between generations.

The responsibility of the living

In many cultural and spiritual traditions, caring for ancestors is viewed as a sacred duty. The ancestors gave life to those who live today, and this gift is honored by maintaining remembrance and symbolic nourishment of their spiritual presence. This relationship is often seen as a reciprocal exchange: the living offer respect, memory, and energy, while the ancestors provide protection, wisdom, and guidance.

Just an advice that sounds too simple for most people to believe.
Stop arguing.

When people enter an argument, they rarely defend the truth. More often, they defend their wounds, their ego, their exhaustion, or their need to be heard by someone, anyone. But arguments almost never heal these things. They only fuel an inner fire that slowly burns away strength.

Watching people, I notice a clear pattern. The more a person argues with the world, the more the world begins to argue back. Everything turns into a struggle: work, family, lines in stores, comments on the internet. Life becomes an endless tournament where no one truly wins, yet everyone ends up drained.

Every argument consumes energy. And energy for a human is like wind for the fire of the soul. When it fades, a person loses clarity, health, joy, and even luck.

Not every sound requires a response. Not every opinion needs to be defended. Wisdom is the ability to distinguish between battles that protect the soul and battles that only feed pride.

Try, just once, to pause at the moment when you feel the urge to prove, explain, or win. Take a breath and ask yourself: am I protecting the truth, or am I simply afraid of appearing weak?

Often, the strongest person is the one who knows how to step out of the circle of argument. Not because he has nothing to say, but because he chooses to preserve his strength for the roads that truly matter.

Have you ever walked away from an argument and felt stronger because of it?

In Siberian shamanic tradition, life is more than just the present moment — it's an echo of the past, woven with invisible threads connecting us to our ancestors, the energy of our home, and guardian spirits. When these threads are frayed — through unresolved ancestral wounds, heavy atmospheres in our living spaces, or a lost connection to inner strength, people often feel unexplained fatigue, recurring relationship struggles, persistent anxiety, or that vague sense of "something's off, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Restoring these threads through rituals of forgiveness, protection, cleansing, and communion with spirits can make life flow more lightly, clearly, and freely.

On my website, you can get all 7 mini-trainings in one bundle, each with 4–5 guided practices, video lessons, and clear instructions you can follow at your own pace.

This is a complete toolkit for working with lineage, protection, self-healing, totems, and space clearing. Full details and purchase at ahamkara.org/shamanschool. If you feel it's time to mend those threads, now is the perfect moment.

Visceral massage has a positive effect on the psyche because each internal organ is connected to certain emotions. For example, autumn is the season of activity for the lungs and the large intestine. If they are not supported, a feeling of sadness or melancholy may arise. In winter, the kidneys and the bladder come to the forefront. They are associated with fear, and dysfunction in this area can show up as constant coldness in the body and increased anxiety. The liver and gallbladder, in turn, are connected with anger and irritation.

By working with the internal organs through massage, we directly influence a person’s psycho-emotional state. Belly massage can truly bring serious results when it comes to mental health. When someone comes to you for help, do what you know how to do. Work with the body. After all, our hands are a tool that can help a person step onto the path of healing.

My three-month course on internal organ massage techniques is open to everyone. If you want to learn, enroll at ahamkara.org/selfmassage

The death of a shaman is never seen as an ordinary passing. It is understood as a transition of power. For this reason, the farewell rituals are different from those performed for other people.
Before burial, the shaman’s body is prepared in a special way. The shaman is dressed in ritual clothing, and his power attributes may be placed nearby. In some traditions, the face is covered with cloth or a mask, as it is believed that the shaman’s spirit has not yet fully departed and should not disturb the living. Purification rites and farewell ceremonies are often performed, especially if other shamans are present.

The method of burial is also distinctive. Among some peoples of Siberia and the North, the body is placed on trees or special platforms, allowing nature to complete the journey of the body while the spirit is freed more quickly. In other traditions, the shaman is buried in the ground, but not in a common cemetery. The grave is placed in secluded locations — deep in the forest, on elevated land, or far from settlements. In certain cultures, cremation is used, as fire is believed to sever the final ties between the spirit and the world of the living.

The rituals do not end after burial. Memorial rites can last for several days and include chants, rhythmic movements, and offerings to the spirits. Some of the shaman’s belongings are left at the burial site or destroyed, as they are potentially dangerous for ordinary people.

There are also strict taboos. Approaching the burial site of a shaman is often forbidden, especially for the uninitiated. It is believed that the shaman’s spirit can become a guardian of the land or, if the rites are performed incorrectly, a dangerous force.

Among the Evenki, Buryats, Altaians, Yakuts, and other peoples, the details of these traditions vary. But the core idea remains the same: a shaman is laid to rest in a way that allows his power to leave the human world and preserves balance between the worlds.

Herbal infusions and decoctions aren’t mystical rituals. They’re a practice of attentiveness. When you understand what you’re preparing, respect proportions, and don’t rush the process, plants work exactly as nature intended.

People often think a shaman is “born,” not trained. The reality is far more demanding.
A shaman, like any other professional, has to learn and keep developing skills throughout entire life. Some people enter this path through professional associations and structured training, while others are self-taught and walk it independently.

But unlike most conventional professions, where becoming a professional is primarily an external process — learning knowledge, techniques, and tools that gradually shape the person — the shaman’s formation is deeply personal. It is an inner, individual spiritual journey that can only be walked alone. That doesn’t mean isolation. Just like in any serious field, shamans have teachers and a professional community. There is guidance, shared experience, and even systems of accountability within the tradition.

The difference is this: no teacher can walk the path for you. No system can replace your inner work. Here, mastery grows not only from what you learn, but from how deeply you transform.

How do you feel: is your growth right now more about external skills or inner transformation?
