Shamanic Healing
WHAT IS SHAMANIC HEALING?
Shamanic healing is a practice that dates back 10,000 years, spanning many cultures, beliefs and tribes. It is believed to be one of the most ancient forms of healing, connecting the body and mind through intuition, spiritual journeying, and ceremonies. It is most commonly heard of in Native American tribes these days, though it originated in Siberia & Mongolia. There are many different things shamanism has been called, and it exists in almost every culture in some way, even today.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We work together to identify what healing you seek. This often starts with a conversation in a comfortable environment, and I'm then able to decipher what shamanic healing tradition may benefit you the best. This can include guided journeying, meeting with your spiritual or ancestral guides, soul retrievals and curse removals to name a few.
Each session begins with energetic cleansing and grounding, either by saging, rattling, or drumming to clear our energy so we may practice fully present.
After a moment to get comfortable and explain the process, I'll have my client assume the journey position: a comfortable position for meditation while following the beat of the drum. This can be lying down or seated, whichever feels most natural.
Once the drumming is complete, we'll discuss what you experienced, if anything. This can range widely: visions, feelings, inner knowings or physical sensations. I will provide my experience as well, so we may talk about the ways it applies uniquely to you. I'll follow up our session with an e-mail for you to keep a written memory - so you don't need to try and remember every message or experience.
IS THIS ONLY FOR CERTAIN BELIEF SYSTEMS?
Nope! It can be applied universally. Diversity in spiritual beliefs is very welcomed and encouraged. Differences in belief systems are what make this work so unique, because every message and ceremony is interpreted differently to each soul.
Typically, language will refer to the "higher-knowing" as Spirit, Source, Light Beings, or the Divine - available for you to interpret how it applies to you.
WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS?
Many people decide to seek shamanic healing for different reasons or occasions. Some see it as a "check-in" point for life transitions - to see how different pieces of your life fit together in the past, present and future.
Some people see it as a routine maintenance - almost as you would visit your local medicine tent in tribal days. Some have a moment that clicks, and they just know there's healing they seek from this modality.
The frequency can vary widely. As little or as much as is needed, whether that be one time visit, or regular visits - either way, you don't need to be in a specific state of mind to benefit from this kind of healing work.
