Jeffrey has an intriguing conversation with Nikolay Oorshak, a shaman from Tuva which is in Southern Siberia. Nikolay is a virtuoso of throat singing, a healer, musician and recording artist and ex-Chairman of the Tuvan shaman society Tos-Deer.
Nikolay has been a participant in several International Shamanic Congresses and has years of experience in his healing practice at Central Shamanic Clinic in Tuva, where he completed his research work in Shamanic Practice in Combination with Healing Sound. Nikolay also performed in India to celebrate The Dalai Lama’s 60th birthday where he received the Dalai Lama’s blessing for his healing work.
He is a welcomed guest at different folklore, jazz and New Age festivals in ex-USSR and Europe.
Nikolay has expressed a unique talent for jazz improvisation and has actually developed a new direction in ethno-jazz: “khoomei-jazz.”
He has five CDs to his credit and is author of Un-Hun System of Sound Healing, a rejuvenation and spiritual development technique based on the ancient shamanic tradition of throat singing.
The Un-Hun, which translates to mean the “Sound of Sunâ€, is a powerful sound-based system, developed by Nikolay through decades of his personal experience. It is based on Tuvan shamanic tradition and adapted for the western world by his disciple Dr. Vladislav Matrenitsky, who is the interpreter in this interview.
I think you will find this conversation with Nikolay an authentic glimpse into the shamanic traditions of eastern europe and a real confirmation that we have truly entered an open age where traditional healing techniques continue to evolve and become part of the global pattern of healing possibilities being offered to individuals the world over.
