OLGA KARITIDI, author of "Enter The Circle", will share her experiences of being born in Russia during the Cold War period, working as a psychiatrist in a Siberian mental hospital, and ultimately being drawn into Shamanism by meeting a kam (shaman) in the mysterious Altai mountains. This meeting utterly changed her life, and moved her out of the box of politically correct thinking about the cause of illness, both physical and mental.

This week, Caroline discusses some of the areas of Shamanism that have not yet been talked about on this show - Good vs Evil, problems with dark spirits and demons, and dismemberment. Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! While Shamanism is an amazing healing modality, the Shaman must also deal with some very real and very serious entities and dangerous disease intrusions. It requires training and practice, the ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods of out of body journey work, and powerful allies in the Spirit worlds.
