Bio of Shiva Singh

Shiva Singh has dedicated himself to sharing the ancient wisdom of Native American traditions.   With a Hindu upbringing and a wealth of life experience, Shiva brings a mature, evolved healing practice to the countless ceremonies he leads. A Sundancer, Shiva conducts (sacred inipi) Sweat Lodges and Tipi Meetings using a Dina fireplace. Through this time-tested tradition, he enables people to renew their spirit, overcome mental and physical imbalances, transforming their lives.

 

Born in Guyana, South America, Shiva grew up with five brothers and three sisters in a prominent Hindu family.  In the mid 1800s, the Singh family forefathers were brought to Guyana as indentures labours by the British Colonists.  His father, an arcitect and physican, his mother,  a national leader in cultural peforming arts, raised Shiva with spiritual values of honor and integrity.

                       

Starting at the age of five, Shiva learned discipline through a variety of martial art forms in which he continues to this day. At seven, he witnessed healing interventions by Irene Morrison, a Creole Medicine woman of African descent, who showed him how water can remove physical imbalances from the mind and body. At 13, Shiva relocated to Brooklyn, NY with his family.  There he experienced the power of Buddhist chanting.  However, his spiritual path did not fully define itself until he was 19 when two Samoan men introduced him to the ways of Native Americans.

 

In the early 1990s, Shiva continued to immerse himself in these indigenous ways with Navaho and Lakota Elders in both New Mexico and the Dakotas. A man who walks the talk Shiva healed himself with these medicinal ways in 2003 when he fought back from a massive stroke.

 

Too humble to call himself a “Healer,” Shiva guides people to create their own-healing. Now supported by a wealth of life experience and the power of indigenous traditions, Shiva assists people as they recover their health, balance and well being with the sacred space he creates in ceremonies.
