Three causes of all diseases from the shamans' point of view
Shamans know that the origin of all things is always thoughts. Shamans are not sorcerers, they are real men and women who can enter states of higher consciousness and are able to perceive what is happening in abnormal conditions. Through complex training, shamans are capable of higher awareness while they detach from their physical bodies and travel in their inner world.
A shaman makes a very clear distinction between body and spirit medicine and views them as complementary to each other. To deal with illness, a traditional shaman focuses a lot on the connection between cause and effect. We know that the physical body experiences several transformations during life. The body gets sick from viruses, accidents happen, there are bruises, cuts, wounds and even broken bones.
Sometimes the illnesses are very serious - cancer, sclerosis, heart disease, hepatitis and eventually we get to the aging, deformities and death of the physical body. From a shamanic point of view these are just effects. For true healing, it is not enough to just treat the effects and suppress the symptoms with drugs. We must address the root causes.
From a shamanic perspective, there are three classic causes of illness, and these are not bacteria, germs or viruses, but internal conditions.
The first cause is disharmony, which occurs when people lose relationships in their lives that are important to them or when they are deprived of a sense of belonging. For example, disharmony occurs when one of an elderly married couple dies suddenly. Disharmony leads to a decrease in personal power, which in turn makes us vulnerable to illness.
The second cause is fear. A person who has chronic fear is vulnerable against disease because fear reduces the abilities of the immune system. Doctors also know that fear and disharmony occur in disease and are recognized by modern science.
The third cause is soul loss. This is the interesting thing. From a shamanic perspective, soul loss is the most serious diagnosis and is the cause of most important illnesses and premature deaths. However, there is no reference to this aspect in traditional medicine.

What is soul loss?
Soul loss implies a serious wound to a person's heart - his inner self, who he is. In our culture, soul loss is often associated with trauma.
For example, a child who has been shoved unwillingly into school or bullied by a person who is supposed to care for him or her. Soul loss occurs as a result of violence, as in the case of rape or assault. Soul loss can come from betrayal, a bitter divorce, a traumatic miscarriage, a terrible car accident, or even surgery. Many of the young men who went to war in Iraq or Afghanistan came back traumatized because they suffered terrible soul loss.
Unfortunately, Western doctors don't have much to offer in terms of true healing, and many of these people are still traumatized.

Symptoms of soul loss
Feeling out of place, inability to feel or receive love. Settling into sudden apathy and indifference, a predisposition to suicide or addiction.
From a traditional perspective, illness is seen as an intrusion - something that enters the body from outside and that does not belong to the body. The most important problem is the loss of power, or the loss of the part of the soul that allowed the illness to enter and manifest in the body. This is the problem, and this is where a shaman plays his primary role.
According to the shamanic tradition, healing takes place in stages.
The first stage involves what might be called empowerment, a process whereby a shaman gives his client more energy.
The second stage involves diagnosing the problem, identifying the cause and feeling its effect on the client's body.
The third stage involves the healing process itself.
