Anatoliy Nikiforov
Siberian Shaman
Brief info
Anatoliy Nikiforov was born in 1963 in Siberia, in the Republic of Yakutia.
As a child, he would listen to and observe his father, who could see invisible phenomena and interpret dreams. While Anatoliy was still a child, ancestors would come to him in his dreams, singing ceremonial songs and performing ritual dances. However, upon waking, he couldn’t remember anything. His parents worked, so he would often be alone in the house during the long winter days.
His companion was a spirit who appeared in the form of a ten-year-old boy. Anatoliy was too young to understand what was happening. This companionship lasted until he started school.
Anatoliy continued his education and lived a regular life until 1988, when his ancestors, who practiced healing, appeared to him in a dream and told him he, too, must follow that path. This dream marked the beginning of his learning process, which came through dreams, meditation, and prayer. After a year of training, his ancestors told him it was time to begin his work.
At that time, in the Soviet Union, it wasn’t possible to practice traditional healing without undergoing testing and obtaining certification from the Institute for the Brain at the Russian Academy of Sciences. After examinations and passing the required tests, Anatoliy Nikiforov received his certification to heal people.
