Ancient Wisdom Today

Shaman Durek

Stories have the power to change the world. Human beings have been sharing stories for hundreds of thousands of years, and with those stories came the emotional, spiritual, and physical knowledge of the ancients. Shaman Durek is a 6th generation shaman, an evolutionary innovator, and a women’s empowerment leader. He’s here to bring forth the ancient wisdom of our elders to help heal and bring happiness into our modern society. We’re sharing ancient knowledge in modern times, in order to put the power back in people’s hands. Welcome to the tribe.

    111. Stop Giving Your Power Away

    Your power was never meant to live in someone else’s hands. In this episode, Shaman Durek explores the ways we unconsciously give our energy away—to fear, outside validation, old programming, relationships, and the belief that someone else knows what is best for us. When you disconnect from your own truth, you begin living according to the expectations of the world instead of the wisdom of your soul. It is time to remember who you are. Your intuition is speaking. Your spirit is guiding you. And the moment you stop asking for permission to trust yourself, everything begins to shift. This episode is an invitation to reclaim your energy, release the patterns that keep you small, and return to the power that has always been within you. Learn more about your ad choices.

    110.Ask From Your Heart, Not From Fear

    In this episode, Shaman Durek explores one of the biggest blocks to manifestation: asking from a place of fear, doubt, and unworthiness instead of from the heart. He unpacks why so many people struggle with love, money, and purpose — not because the universe is withholding, but because of self-punishment: people-pleasing, jumping through hoops, and chasing other people's expectations to earn a love that was already theirs. Durek shares a personal story about the pattern of misaligned relationships he kept attracting, and the practice that broke it — sitting with the parts of himself that felt unworthy, asking them why they didn't believe they were loved, and bringing them into the heart flame of Mother and Father God. What followed, he says, was the clearing of abusive dynamics from his life and the arrival of his greatest love. Listeners will learn how to start the day with a prayer of appreciation rather than begging, why the spirit world holds no lack — and why you should ask for everything your heart desires — how to become a "super creative" who explores life with childlike playfulness, and how to fill your own cup until the overflow pours out to the world. A reminder for anyone who's ever felt they had to prove themselves to be loved: you were never meant to fit in anyone's box. The love was already there. Learn more about your ad choices.

    109. Delete the Files Keeping You Small

    What if the thoughts telling you that you're not enough, not ready, or not capable aren't actually the truth? What if they're simply old files still running in your mind? In this episode of Ancient Wisdom Today, Shaman Durek explores how the mind stores beliefs, memories, fears, and programming from childhood, relationships, and the world around us—and how those old files can keep us living small. Instead of fighting your mind, Durek invites you to start interfacing with it. To recognize what no longer belongs, delete the programming that limits you, and create new inner patterns rooted in love, abundance, creativity, freedom, and possibility. This is an invitation to stop putting yourself in boxes, release the need to be perfect, reconnect with your childlike curiosity, and let every color of who you are shine. You were never meant to play small. You were meant to live giant.

    108. The Love You Never Had to Earn

    You were never meant to prove your worth, chase validation, or meet someone else’s expectations to be loved. The love of Mother and Father God has always been available to you—unconditional, infinite, and without a price tag. In this episode, Shaman Durek reveals how people-pleasing, self-betrayal, and the belief that you must earn love can quietly become forms of self-punishment. He shares how to release these patterns, open your vessel to divine love, and remember that you are already worthy of happiness, abundance, healing, and relationships that honor your spirit. When you stop trying to match someone else’s flame and begin filling yourself with the love of the Divine, everything changes. Your cup begins to overflow, aligned opportunities appear, and the people who truly match your fire find their way to you. You do not have to earn love. You only have to allow yourself to receive it.

    107.Beyond the Grind: Living in Alignment

    We have been taught that success comes from pushing harder, sacrificing more, and proving our worth through exhaustion. But your life was never meant to be lived in a constant state of struggle. In this episode of Ancient Wisdom Today, Shaman Durek explores what it truly means to move beyond the grind and begin living in alignment. This is not about abandoning ambition or refusing to work hard. It is about changing the energy from which you create. When your actions come from self-love, truth, and appreciation, your work becomes more powerful because you are no longer depleting yourself to produce results. Are you nurturing the person who carries your dreams? Are you caring for your body, spirit, and emotional energy with the same devotion you give to everyone and everything around you? True alignment begins when you stop forcing yourself forward and start listening inward. When you honor your needs, appreciate what you do, and show up for yourself with love, you create from wholeness rather than pressure. You do not have to destroy yourself to build a meaningful life. You can work with purpose, nurture your energy, and move forward in the truth of who you are.

    106.Breaking the Copycat Frequency

    From the moment we’re born, we’re taught who to be, what to believe, and how to survive. We inherit patterns from our family, culture, and past experiences until we begin living a life that isn’t truly our own. In this episode of Ancient Wisdom Today, Shaman Durek explores the hidden “copycat frequency”—the unconscious programming that keeps us seeking validation, punishing ourselves, repeating childhood wounds, and abandoning our authentic spirit. Discover why your external world is a demonstration of your internal frequency, how inherited patterns shape your reality, and what it truly means to align with Mother, Father, God instead of fear, approval, and conditioning. It’s time to stop copying the world—and remember who you came here to be. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    105. The Love That Expands You

    What if love was never meant to make you smaller? In this episode, Shaman Durek explores love as a force of expansion, not attachment. Real love does not control, shrink, or keep you trapped in old patterns. It awakens you. It challenges you to become more honest, more open, more alive, and more connected to your soul. Through spiritual wisdom and energetic insight, this conversation invites you to look at where love has been confused with fear, dependency, or limitation — and how to return to the kind of love that helps you grow. Because the love that is truly meant for you will not dim your light, it will expand it. ⁠ Advertisers + Sponsors: • Shaman School: shamandurek.com/the-shaman-school • Lit Vibe Meditation: https://shamandurek.com/lit-vibe-meditation-app/ Learn more about your ad choices.
