May I suggest you watch what he has to say, and when the music starts close your eyes and embark on a beautiful Shamnic like Journey.

This immediately reminds me of the first Shaman I ever had the experience of knowing, so I agree with your assessment Ian.  What a beautiful few moments spent experiencing this.   I've sent it along to several of my email and prayer group friends-much appreciation.  A great thing to share.

I tried to be skeptical, but it didn't last long. Amazing.

So touching at the Soul's core, eyes welling up with tears.

Made me think to call it Pachamama Improv

Pachamama is a goddess revered by the indigenous people (link is external) of the Andes (link is external). She is also known as the earth/time mother.[1] (link is external) In Inca mythology (link is external), Pachamama is a fertility goddess who presides over planting and harvesting, embodies the mountains, and causes earthquakes (link is external). She is also an ever-present and independent deity who has her own self-sufficient and creative power to sustain life on this earth.[1] (link is external) Her shrines are hallowed rocks, or the boles of legendary trees, and her artists envision her as an adult female bearing harvests of potatoes and coca leaves. Pachamama is the wife of Pacha Kamaq (link is external) and her children are Inti (link is external), the sun god, and Killa (link is external), the moon goddess.[2] (link is external) The four cosmological Quechua principles - Water, Earth, Sun, and Moon[2] (link is external) - claim Pachamama as their primordial origin, and priests sacrifice llamas (link is external), guinea pigs, and elaborate, miniature, burned garments to her.[3] (link is external) After the conquest by Spain (link is external), which forced conversion (link is external) to Roman Catholicism (link is external), the figure of the Virgin Mary (link is external) became united with that of the Pachamama for many of the indigenous people.[4] (link is external) In pre-Hispanic culture, Pachamama is often a cruel goddess eager to collect her sacrifices. As Andes cultures form modern nations, Pachamama remains benevolent, giving,[5] (link is external) and a local name for Mother Nature (link is external). Thus, many in South America believe that problems arise when people take too much from nature because they are taking too much from Pachamama
