The spiritual worlds that shamans visit in a bid to find knowledge, guidance, and healing are Shamanic Worlds. The subconscious, spirit communication, and lost energies can be explored using the Lower, Middle, and Upper world planes, which are often called the Up and Down worlds. Meditation, drumming, and guided journeying are practices that assist in navigating these worlds to unblock, generate self-empowerment, and attain emotional and spiritual equilibrium.

Knowledge of shamanic worlds assists in individual development, self-awareness, and a significant attachment to unseen forces that determine life.
