SHAMANIC HEALING

Shamanism is humanity's earliest healing practice, dating back to at least the Stone Age and found in tribal societies on all the continents. Shamanic healing methods are consistently similar through the centuries and around the world.  The significant common element of shamanic healing is the shamanic journey, in which the shaman’s free soul exits the body at will, using the sound of rapid drumming or rattling to visit with power animals and spirit guides. Shamanic healing looks at the spiritual nature of each individual’s illness, as shown to the journeyer by the compassionate healing spirits in images, symbols and metaphors.  The shaman’s power animals and/or teachers then guide him/her in the steps need to carry out the healing

I practice Core Shamanism as developed and taught by Michael Harner, author of The Way of the Shaman, who established The Foundation for Shamanic Studies to preserve shamanism and make it available for use in our modern world.  I also practice Medicine for the Earth as taught by Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval, Welcome Home and Medicine for the Earth; Transforming Personal and Environmental Toxins.  I offer  Rune Readings as taught by Ailo Gaup, a Sami (Lapp) shaman and poet.

Specific shamanic healings I offer include:

• Extraction Healing to remove intrusions

• Soul Retrieval to restore the gifts and power of soul parts that left in time of trauma

• Divination to answer questions and gather advice

• Depossession to clear you of attachment and entities

• Psychopomp work to help the souls of the deceased to make their transition
