“In our late twenties we suffered a Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA) or minor stroke. In Shamanic terms, this is “a shamanic death”. The CVA left us partially paralysed with the inability to formulate speech or move our limbs. We underwent stroke rehabilitation, speech and physical therapy, yoga and we meditated to regain our health and get our life back. We occasionally suffered minor seizures until our initiation as an African Sangoma and Shaman when these seizures strangely disappeared.
