African Ning Meditation
Aminatà FofanaNing – The Return of the Soul
Take your soul by the hand. Not your fear.
We all carry hidden parts of ourselves – fragments that went silent, exiled, forgotten.
In African shamanic tradition, they are not “demons”, but pieces of the soul that left us during moments of pain, shock, or silence.
They don’t disappear.
They wait.
Ning is a path of shamanic shadow work rooted in West African ritual — where shadow means forgotten power, not fear.
It’s not about fighting the darkness. It’s about listening to it, with clarity and love.
Through ancestral rituals, the sound of the drum, and the wisdom of the Five Elements — Water, Fire, Earth, Stone and Nature — Ning opens a space where the soul begins to speak again.
The images that emerge in the sessions are visions, not illusions.
They carry messages: about what holds us back, what repeats itself through generations, what wants to be remembered, healed, reclaimed.
Every blocked part of you has a story.
And in that story, there is a gift waiting to be received.
Ning doesn’t offer quick fixes or spiritual bypass.
It is a poetic and powerful journey into the soul’s memory — where symbols guide, ancestors support, and your true essence begins to rise.
This is not a fight.
It’s a return.
With rhythm, with reverence, with blessings.
A huge effect on my life!
I’m a medical doctor.
As I started to reconnect the parts within myself, my soul’s purpose, my 5 years old daughter was growing with me.
The most beautiful gift that we can get, and we can give to the next generation.
One of the most powerful tools that Ning meditation has.
Hi, my name is Evelyn, and I will like to tell you how Aminata,guided me throughout my pregnancy and towards the delivery of my second baby.
It has been an incredible insightful process.
We use meditation, deep meditation in combination with her beautiful shamanic drumming to create visions, showing me, where I was block and how, I could release this blockages. And that all led to a beautiful, smooth, quick and natural delivery of my second baby.
Which I am intensely grateful for.
So Aminata,thank you for your beautiful work.
And I know you’ll inspire and guide, many women in the future.
So, thanks. And I hope you’ll keep on doing this beautiful work.
An African proverb (says):
“When there is no enemy within,
no enemy from outside can do you no harm.”
African Ning meditation techniques encompass the intimate and sacred experience of ancient shamans of West Africa. An echo of their spirituality and ancient wisdom.
Imagine the chrysalis before coming out of the shell.
The authentic self pushes towards the encounter with the divine and the achievement of awareness.
To come out of the “cocoon”and take flight, to merge the divine energies that exist within and outside the self.
It is the path of being aware, the realization of the spiritual path.
The ancestral path of the African Ning Meditation technique.
What is African spirituality?
African spirituality has ancient roots and radiant influences.
Indigenous belief systems of African tribes join with rites and religious systems introduced from Palestine, Asia and India.
The ordered Universe merges and coordinates what it has always recognized. In the act of meditating the contemplative nature of the divine opens up to the ancestral mysticism of being.
From the tradition of the cultures of ancient Egypt come the kemetic rituals based on the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Kemetic meditation focuses on invoking the principal deities of the Egyptian pantheon, Osiris and Isis.
As old as the spirituality of the continent, African meditation hands down practices of spiritual growth in union with the energies of Nature.
The conquest of divinity and the recognition of the true essence are the basis of meditation techniques.
I am thrilled to introduce you to the 5 elements meditation.
Encounter and active connection with the ancient and sacred energy of the 5 primordial elements: Water, Fire, Earth, Stone and Nature.
How to do African Ning Meditation
You can meditate in a quiet and comfortable place. It is your place of communion with the infinite, choose the place where you feel most at ease. That place where you can feel serenity and feel in harmony.
You can be in nature or in the quiet of your home.
When you have found it, lie on the ground on a towel or choose the comfortable position you prefer.
Calming the mind is the first step.
Let go of bonds, let go of worries.
They are not part of you and you are not part of these thoughts.
Your body melts into the tribal music of my shamanic drum while the sacred songs tell you about the journey into the other dimension.
The calm mind abandons thoughts, enters the state of consciousness devoid of judgment and criticism.
It is the state of inner stillness that brings you into the meditative trance.
Allow the mind to enter absolute stillness and let the soul travel the ancient path of ancestral wisdom of the 5 primordial elements Water, Fire, Earth, Stone, Nature.
Each element permeates a specific area of life with balance and wisdom.
Ancient rituals convey the wisdom of the infinite into the creativity of the individual.
Guided meditation opens a special door through the divine inside and out.
Recognize your Ning, cocoon in Malenke language.
Recognize the chrysalis, divine essence freed from its or the shell, now in communion with the infinite.
The divine urge is accomplished as the ocean within subsides and in its new form contemplates the true essence.
Peace of mind, healing, meeting with the Guiding Spirits.
In African spiritual meditation the being rediscovers the true self and the well-being that resides in balance of the ancient spiritual energies of the 5 elements.
The oldest African meditation techniques ever.

About Me
I’m Aminatà Fofana
My name is Aminatà Fofana, my stage name is Indo Aminata.
For years I have been practicing the ancestral knowledge of my land through African Ning Meditation Techniques.
Awareness is a spiritual path to be walked inside and outside the self and each day reveals new steps towards communion with the divine.
And so it was for me.
I was born and raised in a small mud hut village in West Africa.
It was millet season, the day the great Baobab blooms, after time immemorial.

I have come across a world of different entities; personalities who were kept in there for a long time, spirits, talents long forgotten.
Under Aminata’s guidance it is safe to express, explore and embody. She senses the unspoken and has great analytical power.
Thank you so much Aminata, for being my companion on this journey. Awatilé!
