What is 'Shamanic' Healing?
The use of the words "shaman" and "shamanism" is a topic of much passionate debate and sensitive discussion.
Where I live, these words are recognized as a particular set of methods that are quite removed from the original use of these terms. Even these associations are now beginning to morph and shift as "shamanism" gains in awareness and popularity. For these reasons, I aim to use these terms sparingly and intentionally.
Shamanism, as we understand the term here in the west, is animistic in nature yet is based on the ability to alter conscious perception for the purpose of creating reciprocal relationships within the spirit realm. In modern times, this practice is usually intended as a medicinal way of working to bring about balance and right relationship within people, communities, buildings, the land, and animals.
A 'shamanic' practitioner is adept at traveling between the spirit realm and the ordinary realm to track imbalances and facilitate the return of soul parts, restoration of personal power and retrieval of spiritual information. Cultures around the world for centuries have believed traumatic events have a direct effect on the well being of our soul, and in turn, a lack of harmony in the spirit realm directly affects our life experiences. When harmony is restored, the path is cleared for healing effects to take place in the 'ordinary' reality of day to day life. While practitioners may employ a wide variety of complementing healing techniques such as herbalism, energy healing through laying on hands, or have specialty areas like dream work or whispering, these services, or a combination of them, are considered here in the west as "shamanic" healing techniques. In Soul Restoration sessions with me, any of the above as well as additional services such as those listed below may be applicable.
Please see the Soul Restoration page for more information.
Long distance sessions are also available and are equally as effective as in-person sessions.
