Shamanism

Shamanic practitioners work with both their own and their clients’  guides, power animals, teachers and ancestors who are able to diagnose the cause (since they are Spirit, they can easily see all that is happening on the Spiritual level) of an illness, give insight, and then help to facilitate the required treatment for healing.  After the journeying is complete energy work is then performed in order to integrate the effects of the journey, locate and release blockages, and increase the body’s ability to heal. The Shamanic Practitioner will use their sacred tools from their Medicine Bag in this healing session. Their tools may include a drum, rattles, incense, sage, crystals, stones and feathers; anything that embodies the power of Spirit for them in their work. In my sessions I encourage the client to journey as well and the discussion of these two experiences afterwards brings about a deeper healing and a deeper connection for the client.

In my own experience both as a practitioner and a client on my own journey I have found Shamanic Healing to be a deeply profound and beautiful healing experience with long lasting effects. To experience the connection with your own inner world, guides and ancestors can be life changing and life affirming.

In order to retrieve any Soul Parts the Shamanic Practitioner must be initiated and experienced as their work requires them to leave everyday consciousness and venture into the Spirit World; The Shamanic State of Consciousness and navigate it skilfully. Soul retrieval is a Sacred and powerful Ceremony. Before I journey for a client there is always a consultation beforehand, the space and participants are prepared creating a space of safety and then a Shamanic Journey is taken. If there are Soul parts ready to return they are healed and integrated back into the client after the journey. The journey is then followed by a discussion as this is all part of the healing process. In my experience the client also has an experience or a journey and the discussion of the two experiences for me has always brought deeper healing and a deeper connection for the client. The feeling and knowledge of having been part of the experience can be extremely beneficial for the client to have that awareness that they are part of the process and it isn’t just something ‘happening to them’.  Time for integration and transmutation is always provided after and the client relaxes as I facilitate a Sound Bath with the Shamanic Drum, Rattles and Gongs for further integration and to support the work that has taken place in the session. 

It is very important for us to have the energy cleared in our house from time to time. This is especially important if we have moved into a new house or premises in order to clear the old occupiers’ energy and to make the space ours. An Energy Clearance Ceremony can make a huge difference to your space and it is something I highly recommend. During the ceremony I connect with the spirits of the building and land who show me the previous occupants and events, and show me where heavy energy is stuck and needs to be released. In my work I have also cleared trapped spirits, closed down portals that were allowing energies and spirits in that were having a detrimental effect on the family, and imprints of previous owners that were blocking the flow in a certain area of the building.  I am guided how to release and close down any openings in the energetic field safely allowing the natural flow of energy and love to come through and to create balance between the space and the current occupiers. Many find that the clearance of the energies in their living or working space ripples out into their own lives and can have long and far reaching effects.
