shamanism and shamanic healing
what is shamanism
Shamanism is a life calling, not something that is learned in a workshop or at a school. Shamans are called to their path and may learn from elders in the community or venture to other countries to find a teacher willing to teach them.
Shamans deal with the soul. They serve Spirit not the physical realm and understand that everything is connected - a belief that humanity is intrinsically related to the natural environment and the universe. Shaman means 'wounded healer', 'one who sees in the dark', or 'Pathfinder'. The lives they live and the work they do is heart and soul centered, working in the spirit realms to heal illness at a soul level and working to re-weave a person back into their wholeness.
Shamanism is the oldest spiritual and energetic practice known to mankind. Shamanic practices have been known globally throughout history. Modern shamanism is not a religion or dogma and seeks to be respectful to all religious faiths, and cultures. Shamanism is concerned with the wellbeing of the soul and its journey in this world - its interaction with the environment, family, community, the earth, and the cosmos.
Where energy healers seek to move or shift energy so it is more supportive to the client, a Shaman will work with guides to transmute the energy through ceremony and ritual, by journeying and hands-on healing, using tools such as drums, rattles, smoke, chimes, crystals and chanting., and seek help from their spirit allies - animal, plant and stone/crystal.

what is shamanic healing
Shamans look at the spiritual aspects of an illness, one that manifests on the physical, emotional, or mental plane but stems from a disharmony or spiritual imbalance. Shamans believe there are three causes of illness - power loss, soul loss, or a spiritual intrusion. Generally, there are at least two of these present at any one time. A shaman will work with the spirit allies to diagnose the cause and then help to perform the required healing.
At its core, shamanic healing is concerned with the strengthening and empowerment of individuals, their families, and communities, regardless of race, colour, or creed. It focuses on the spiritual, emotional, and mental aspects of an individual, and is a powerful way to shift energy, unlock potential, and transform your life, as it carries immense transformative power. Shamanic healing is generally sought by those who need guidance and healing on a non-physical level. What that means is the shamanic practitioner establishes a connection with your collective spirit guides to identify and address any blockages or imbalances in you. The healing comes from a place of unconditional love and for the highest good of all involved.
Shamanic healing has many benefits for those seeking spiritual and emotional healing. These can include improved clarity, feelings of peace, relaxation, an increase in focus, a greater spiritual connection, a reduction in anxiety and helps with depression. It can also help those who have trauma from this life or a past life, unhealthy relationships, low energy and limiting beliefs by looking deeper into recurring patterns in your life, extracting any malevolent energies surrounding you and transmuting any lower vibrational frequencies.
There are many misconceptions about shamanic healing, with many believing that it can only be undertaken using plant medicine. As a shamanic practitioner, the work I do is completely drug-free.
When I work with you on a Shamanic Reiki healing, I work with the elements of your energy system, gently re-weaving you back into health and balance. I aim to help you connect with your true Self, grounding you into your purpose and revealing your true calling.
Power Loss: "personal power-loss" - where we give away our power to another person or allow society to dictate our lives; "Power-loss" - where we become disconnected from nature and from everything around us; affected by the loss of our Power Animal or guardian spirit ally. Symptoms include apathy, feeling flat, phobias, anxiety, depression, suicidal tendencies, chronic illness and chronic misfortune amongst others.
Soul Loss: a part of the soul may leave the body for self-preservation reasons - as a result of abuse, arguments in the family home, an accident, or grief - resulting in a loss of life force energy which may result in depression, addiction, or feeling separate from life.
Intrusions: a remnant of our own experience, not something from someone else. It may come from a past life or this life. It can manifest in the physical, emotional, spiritual or mental aspects of the body as a recurring pattern in life. It may cause illness, or as an emotional imbalance. This can also be as a result of emotional upheaval, previous operation or injury.
Energetic Cords: when relationships aren't serving the highest good of those involved, it is probable that an unhealthy energetic cord exists between the two parties. These could be unhealthy relationships between a parent/child, friend/lover, employer/employee, therapist/client. By removing these deleterious cords, there is a release of pent-up emotions, and a healthy relationship has room to grow.
Energetic Blocks: where the life force in the body becomes sluggish or stuck, generally through the meridians and chakras, as a result of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances in the body. Causes may include emotional shock or trauma, negative attitudes, chemical or drug consumption, invasive medical procedures. Symptoms are disharmony, and disease in the body
Past Events: by returning to a past event that has left a lasting impression, it is possible to disconnect the negative energy associated with that event, allowing a more empowering response to similar events should they happen now and into the future.
Distance or Absentee Healing: Spirit and Reiki energy transcend time, space, and location, making it possible for healing to occur even when the client and healer are not physically together. Shamans believe that we are all interconnected through luminous threads of energy, known as 'oneness.' These unconditional, intrinsic threads of life energy enable healing to happen across any distance, bridging the gap of time and space effortlessly.
