SHAMANIC ENERGY HEALING
Do you have a challenge in the physical, emotional or
spiritual area of your life that seems to defy logical and traditional
kinds of treatment?
 Sometimes
we find our selves and our bodies stuck in repetitive patterns that
defy traditional therapy and our best efforts to "do" something to
change the situation. Often we focus on the story and the outer
symptoms and don't know how to reach the source, where quick and deep
change can occur.
Work
at the energetic and creative levels of your being occurs at the
source of the problem and can remove blocks to living out your
possibility.
What is the energy work all about?
Energy
medicine in the tradition of the Peruvian Inca shamans is based on the
understanding that we each have a "luminous body," an energy field
where imprints of trauma, past and future disease, unresolved issues
and other "dense energies" reside and can block our well-being.
I
am trained to create "sacred space," where the spirits and ancestors
are invited in to create healing and wholeness with the client. I am
not "healing" or "doing," but am acting as a kind of intermediary who
can help you release energies that are not serving you.
Will the work conflict with my religious beliefs?
This
form of energy work is spiritual in nature, but not religious. I am
trained to honor all spiritual traditions and language. You do not
have to believe in any spiritual tradition to achieve a benefit, but
it is helpful if you can see the universe as a place where everything
is alive, and where anything is possible. This is the place where the
creative imagination resides, and is engaged in the service of
wholeness.
What happens in a session?
The
first part of the session is assessment and education. You may come
with an issue to discuss. I may use my
Sand Spirit™ wisdom cards to help us
both see what is going on from a larger perspective. I may ask you to
work with a medicine stone,
to use breathing, or to work with another tool, such as
guided imagery. I will
test to see which of the chakras is most in need of re-balancing.
In
the second part of the session, I'll ask you to lie fully clothed on
the massage table, and to breathe deeply while I cradle your head.
Using a candle and perhaps some shamanic tools such as a feather, a
crystal, a pendulum or a rattle, I will open the affected chakra and
clean it out while you breathe more rapidly and deeply. Then I'll
perform an "illumination,"
putting pure white light into the chakra and re-balancing your
energetic system. I'll remove any dense energies that are not serving
you.
In
some cases we might move on to an
extraction or to the soul
retrieval process, if this is indicated and is something you
desire. Everything is done with your permission, and with very little
touch involved.
In
the third part of the session we discuss what you have experienced.
Some people just feel relaxed; others feel emotions or bodily
sensations like tingling or heat. Many people report feeling lighter
and clearer. Intellectual understandings often come days and weeks
later.
Since
it is important to reinforce the energetic change in your system and
to welcome its manifestation in your life, I will give you homework.
Often it involves rituals or
tasks that are designed to keep the change moving on a deeper level
where the new you can become permanent!
Can I trust shamanic practices?
Many
people brought up in modern America think this work is...different.
New. They wonder if it's "New Age" or somehow suspect. Actually it's
thousands of years old, and connected to indigenous cultures all over
the globe, manifested in many forms. It is very positive work, and
cannot hurt you when performed by a trained practitioner with a pure
intent.
What kind of clients do you work with?
There
are no limits. I can work with a child experiencing learning or
emotional difficulties, an adult coming into her fullness, or someone
nearing the end of life who wants to prepare for the transition to
another plane by doing rich healing ceremonies. I particularly love
working with women who are interested in strengthening the sacred
feminine power within.
What do clients report?
Clients
report physical symptoms resolving. They report feeling they have come
home to themselves, that they feel whole, that the work has "taken
care of the longing." They report their lives changing completely. The
best result is an increased vitality, a feeling that gifts that lay
within have emerged. Usually these changes occur when clients have had
at least three sessions and done some reinforcing homework. You can
begin with a single session and feel significant results.
