Alberto Villoldo, PhD speaks from a shaman's perspective.
"There are four levels
through which the healer interacts with their
patient, each with their own language. It’s
helpful to think of these as Russian nesting
dolls in which the higher levels envelop and
inform the lower levels. The physical level of
the body has a chemical/molecular language.
The mind envelops and informs the
body. The mind creates psychosomatic disease
and psychosomatic health, and its language
is words. The mythic, the realm of the
soul if you would, informs the mind and
informs the body, and its language is images,
ceremony, candles, drums, poetry, music.
But not words. And then the most fundamental
level, which we could call the realm
of spirit, has the language of energy. Spirit
informs the soul, or the sacred, which then
informs the mind, which informs the body."
