19 Shamanics
A term used by Kenneth Meadows which focuses on many of
the essential elements and practices of shamanic experience and states
of consciousness. The purpose of this metaphysical approach to
shamanism is to make these essential aspects and experiences of the
extraordinary available to people living ordinary lives. These have
been removed from their "social, religious and cultural contexts.
Similar to Harner's Core Shamanism, it makes use of drumming, rattles
and tapes to induce a type of mental traveling or 'Journey' into other
realms and altered states of consciousness.

Kenneth Meadows defines Shamanics as:
"A personal development process which incorporates the essence of
universal shamanism - the ancient wisdom of the visionaries and 'Wise
Ones' of many cultures and traditions into a Science of living for
Modern Times that is the most practical of all metaphysical systems.
A way of experienced and revealed knowledge that is motivated by the
Spirit enabling individuals to relate to Nature and come into harmony
with the totality of their own being and find meaning, purpose and
fulfillment in their own lives."
(Kenneth Meadows, Where Eagles Fly, pages 240-1, 1995.)
