Am I a Shaman? Transformation of a Korean GIM Fellow’s and a Traditional Healer’s Consciousness
Bae, Mi Hyun - Volume: 12
The author discusses the transformation of consciousness through music, while making cross-cultural analogies between her own experience in The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music and the experience of the Korean female shaman in the traditional healing ritual from three perspectives: archetypal, musical, and socio-anthropological. Through a reflection on the author’s ongoing GIM process and the investigation of Korean shamanism, she finds a better
understanding of her work and life and proposes the recognition of traditional healers as a critical task for contemporary GIM fellows.
