Shamanism is an ancient cross-cultural spiritual practice that has existed on every inhabited continent tracing back 40,000 + years. At the core of shamanic and animistic cultures is the understanding that Spirit resides in all things. That everything from rocks and water to plants and animals embody an essence that contains deep wisdom and connects them, and humans to the Great Web of Life. Shamanism in various forms, continues to be practiced worldwide.

​

From a core shamanic perspective, retaining our vital life force/ Power is essential to our well-being. Power loss may occur due to trauma (soul loss) and spiritual intrusions (misplaced energies/blocks) and is seen as the root cause of illness whether it be mental, emotional and/or physical. Soul loss can occur when someone experiences trauma; a single event or prolonged experience that is too overwhelming for their nervous system to cope with. This could be physical, sexual, mental and/or emotional abuse, a traumatic birthing experience, a car accident, divorce, surgery, the sudden death of a loved one or any event that is jarring to the Spirit of the person. In psychological terms Soul loss can be compared to dissociation- when a person is no longer fully embodied/connected to themselves and the world around them, which is a common experience for most people in Western culture. 

 

Shamanic healing is a collaborative process that involves the client, the practitioner and the compassionate Spirits. In my practice, I use the shamanic journey to travel between our visible reality and the realm of Spirit. Following a shamanic session the individual may feel more embodied, empowered and energized. Many people experience heightened intuition, the release of toxic emotions, awareness of patterns and behaviours that no longer serve them, physical and emotional healing and a deeper sense of connection to themselves and the world around them. Though this form of shamanic healing is gentle, it is powerful and requires the person to tend to themselves with intention, compassion and presence as they move through the integration process. These shamanic ceremonies act as a catalyst for healing, but it is your personal integration journey that anchors within your being your power and gifts, bringing you back to a more embodied and expanded version of yourself.
