What is Soul Bath and the Shamanic Men’s Initiation?
The Soul Bath practice is a daily self-healing technique. It is the central practice with which the main topics of Men’s Initiation can be accomplished:
It helps you come into your fullness and inner strength by consciously connecting with healing energies of the earth and the sun shamanically in guided meditations for:
releasing emotional pain
transmuting sexual energies
dissolving old roles
empowering new roles
disentangling from old relationships
harmonising relationships
Regularly releasing emotional baggage in small doses is easier and less challenging. Shamanically speaking, it allows the reintegration of previously dissociated soul parts.
By tapping into the energies of the earth and the sun, this practice enables you to heal wounds, in a profoundly supported way, that may have weighed you down for years—whether from past relationships, childhood, or other life experiences.
Unlike quick-fix solutions, Soul Bath offers deep, transformative healing over time. It empowers you to identify old patterns, "triggers," and unresolved pain, so you can release them at their root, dissolving self-sabotaging behavioural patterns. Over time, interactions even in conflict situations become smoother and you’ll experience emotional healing and clarity, personal empowerment, feeling grounded and a renewed sense of inner strength and inner peace.

What is the Origin of Soul Bath?
Have you felt like you have been trying different practices and that they may have helped you to a certain degree, but you still feel that something is missing? This is what happened for simon sanud during parts of his 30+ years of being on the spiritual path. Then he came across Core Shamanism and something clicked, even retrospectively in relation to missing pieces within the deep knowledge and practices he had been studying in Siddha Yoga and Tantra Yoga during a 25 year period. He found that this one puzzle piece finally gave him the overview, a sense of completion and was actually clicking in with what he'd really been searching for.
This is how Soul Bath, simon's own original practice came into being. Think of it as this distilled practice drawing on all his diverse experiences, but with this very direct and practical approach for its day to day application. It's rooted in the idea that we can tap into these really powerful energies for healing and transformation, specifically from the Earth and the Sun.
Simon's Shamanic background opens up a perspective on life that is called animism. It's the most ancient, original way that humans have been seeing and experiencing the world. You can still find it among different indigenous cultures to this day. It's the idea that everything around us has spirit, soul and consciousness, even trees, animals, stones and the four elements. It's not just us humans that have consciousness and a soul. Everything is alive and self-aware in its own way. We can expand our understanding of what's alive and conscious. It can include the natural world around us, which connects to the masculine and feminine energies. Taking us into a deeper view of ourselves and our connections to everything in the world, it can start to help us see a map of our soul and a deeper and simpler way to emotional healing and self-empowerment. It's about finding that balance, not just within ourselves, but also in how we consciously relate to the natural world around us.
This connection with nature is really essential to the Soul Bath practice. It's all about tapping into those powerful energies and forces of nature, the earth and the sun for deeper emotional healing and transformation.
The practice is simple. It's designed it to be quick, something you can easily integrate even if you have a really busy schedule.
simon sanud
"After 30+ years of earnest searching and methodically applying what I found, feeling that even with Tantra, selfless work, chanting, yoga, satsangs, meditation, working with the masculine and feminine archetypes there was still something missing.
Now I can honestly say that I have found a distilled format that goes all the way and heals the causes of key pain points, that I can use every day.
It is short enough to sustain and it supports me through the healing processes of the different layers that are brought up by the wheel of life.
I intuitively started using the findings from my shamanic spirit-world journeys with the drum in my daily meditation practice. This has slowly developed into a methodical daily practice over the past three years, in which I speak the key shamanic actions of clearing and invoking healing energies from the earth and the sun as well as sitting in two specific embodied energy postures.
This is a key practice to help men methodically come out of a slump and gain inner strength and harmony in life and relationships.
This practice is ideal if you want to integrate your personal development, your spiritual growth into a meditative practice.
I have started teaching the Soul Bath practice and been giving the Men’s Initiations."
Who is Soul Bath For?
Men seeking to reconnect with healthy masculine qualities:
Many men today feel caught between the pressure of toxic masculine stereotypes and the powerlessness of not knowing how to express true strength. Soul Bath guides you toward a balanced, harmonious masculinity—free from past wounds.
Individuals dealing with emotional triggers:
If you often feel "triggered" by events, conversations, or conflicts that bring up unresolved feelings of anger, sadness, or pain, Soul Bath offers a way to heal those deeper emotional layers.
Anyone looking for spiritual and personal growth:
Whether you are on a spiritual journey or simply seeking a greater sense of emotional balance and well-being, this practice integrates shamanic principles and personal development techniques that help you shed emotional weight and grow into your full potential.
What to Expect From the Practice
While healing takes time, the Soul Bath practice is designed to fit into your daily life. It requires a firm commitment, but the results can be profound. As you regularly release layers of old emotional energy, you’ll experience:
Greater emotional stability: Less triggered by everyday situations and better equipped to handle life’s challenges with grace.
Enhanced relationships: As you heal, you’ll find your relationships—romantic, family, and professional—improving. People will feel emotionally safe around you and more drawn to your clear, balanced energy.
Personal empowerment: Through consistent practice, you’ll feel lighter, stronger, and more aligned with your true self. You’ll no longer be weighed down by unresolved pain but instead, embrace your natural strength.
Greater connection to the world around you: bathing in and connecting with the healing energies of the earth and the sun, you will naturally have a greater sense of belonging in the world and be able to connect to nature and those close to you.
What Soul Bath Can Help Us Do
When we actually take the time to connect with ourselves on that deeper level, to clear out and heal those old emotional wounds and those negative patterns, we naturally start to feel better about ourselves. You're shedding layers of self-doubt, that inner critic, the inner saboteurs.
When you're still carrying around all that baggage and it's not going away by doing more of the old practices you already know, it's really hard to feel good about yourself.
When those inner shifts actually start to happen they can lead to healthier relationships, because you show up differently when you're not bringing all that baggage into your interactions and you're coming from a place of deep self-acceptance and more self-esteem, because the ongoing emotional healing increases your sense of wholeness.
Shamanically speaking, the more soul parts you "unfreeze", bringing them into your current cohesive self, the more you become emotionally available and energetically "feelable" to those around you. That then starts to make space for more genuine connection, more empathy, more intimacy, with less reactivity and less defensiveness.
What emerges is the real you, beyond the stories and the wounds, with more stability and connectivity. So, clearing, emotional healing and consciously dissolving old behavioral patterns, is like removing a lampshade that is caked in dust, allowing the light bulb to shine freely into the space around it.
It's logical that this brings more inner peace, because there are less conflict energies you are carrying around with you. With parts of you “unfreezing” and your energies integrating, there is more of you, so to speak, making it possible to arrive at deeper levels in your relationships, in your sexuality and in your manifesting power in your life. You are then able to bring into manifestation your unique way of expressing your own natural masculinity, creating a harmonious polarity with those around you and in your relationship.
The Soul Bath practice, when done regularly, can increase your drive, your effectiveness and your ability to achieve your goals. It's not just about feeling calmer, or more peaceful, but actually doing better, being more dynamic and showing up more powerfully in the world. You can tap into your full potential and go after what you truly want.
