...When I accepted my destiny as a shaman, the spirits of my ancestors taught me the cosmic origin of man and nature and about our father the Eternal Blue Sky and our Mother the Earth. I dedicate my life to my gentle people who believe that I am the link between man and God. I am a poet, a priest, a healer, a foreteller, a teacher, but mostly I am their friend."

Moon Heart is a shaman from Tuva, a very powerful healer who speaks to the stars. "...To heal a person I invoke his star asking it to come down. When the star appears, a strong heat falls from above and my eyes are filled with tears. The strength of the star comes down from the sky until, gradually, everybody bends to the earth."

Tuva is a very ancient country of shamans and throat singers. It lies between the Siberian forests and the central Asian desert, marking the center of Asia.

The high Sayan mountains protected Tuva, keeping it wild and pure. Tuvinian people love nature and live in harmony, fearing the rage of the powerful spirits of the mountain. "...To get in touch with the spirits of the mountains and to soothe them, we use our traditional throat singing chants whose melodies derive from our contemplation of life, of the sound of nature, of the birds, of the whistling of the steppe wind, of the mountain's draft."
