Shamanism is based on four pillars: Its because everything is vibrating, the Force is the energy of life, the Light that shares intelligence and love that is a prerogative of the divine but also human. With the Force there is peace, health and joy of being. In the animal kingdom, the force of the water is with the shark that is nearly four hundred million years. The Strength of Earth with the mole, the intercessor for all who wish to communicate with the Spirit of the Earth. The Air Force is with the eagle that is the intercessor for all those wishing to escape the earthly; the force of fire is with the tiger, the guardian of the laws of power. It is no coincidence that the tiger is also emblematic of the master. Shamans believe that the tiger is inseparable from pure energy into positive activity for the greater good of all living.
