Shamanism, is chosen by practitioners who want a profound path of direct revelation, harmony, and healing.
It is rooted in a belief that all aspects of the natural ordinary world are deeply interconnected and infused with Spirit.
Spanning geographies and cultures, and accumulating multiple individual expressions, the core understanding today is still that the visible world affects the visible world.
These invisible forces profoundly influence our lives.
Historically, shamanism has been the spiritual and healing practice of indigenous cultures.
From the Tundra of Siberia to the Amazon jungles, shamans have served as the healers, seers, medicine men and women, and spiritual guides of their communities.
They are the mediators between the physical world and the spiritual realm, capable of journeying into the transcendent realms to bring back wisdom, healing, and guidance.
At its foundation, is a profound relationship with nature, spirit guides, and ancestors. A relationship that has been cultivated through rituals, ceremonies, and the visionary experiences of shaman.
A modern shamanic practitioner still embraces these ancient wisdoms, but has evolved and integrated them into their contemporary lifestyles.
It is a commitment to walking a path of deep spiritual inquiry and service, fostering a life in balance with the natural world and in alignment with one’s inner truth.
A shamanic practitioner is not only a bridge between the ordinary and extraordinary, but also a steward of the earth.
He is a healer of wounds (both seen and unseen), and a guide to those seeking to navigate the challenges of life with wisdom and grace.
The journey of the shamanic practitioner requires a willingness to explore the depths of one’s being, to heal and transform oneself, and to extend that healing into the world.
It is about learning to tap into the infinite resources of energy and power available to us, to understand and utilise the principles of energy for the highest good.
This path offers the tools and teachings to evolve one's self-image, to reconstruct reality in alignment with divine grace, and to awaken to the infinite potential that lies within and all around us.
We honour the rich heritage of shamanism and adapt it to the needs of our modern seekers.
We provide a sanctuary for those called to explore the depths of their spirit, to heal and grow.
We will guide you on your unique path of power, and awaken you to the profound connection you share with all of existence.
Shamanism is not just about accessing spiritual realms or performing healing; it's about living in conscious, loving relationship with the world, with spirit, and with oneself.
It’s a journey of becoming whole, of remembering our sacredness, and of stepping into our role as co-creators of reality.
Every step is an awakening, and every breath a prayer of connection and transformation.
If you feel drawn to exploring esoteric, metaphysical or magical practice, it is your responsibility to seek out a suitable mentor or training school.
Otherwise you are left with self-initiation. Reading books can give a basic awareness of magical practice, but it does not compare to quality hands-on training.
Many people self-initiate as they do not wish to join any sort of formal group.
However, self-initiation, though valid, especially as a novice, can leave you on your own if something goes wrong.
Training with an experienced and competent mentor, even if only for the basics, will set you up for safe practice.
A strong shamanic foundation will provide many experiences from which to grow as an individual.
Depending on your level of sensitivity, a Shamanic Healing will be experienced like a non-intrusive energy clearing, an energetic purge, or a boost in vitality.
It is not uncommon to go through a period of mild grief after a session.
We can become emotionally attached to those things in our energy bodies - even though they may not be helpful to us.
Clients typically come with around 60 - 120 different energies to remove, and we can detect over 600 different types of energies and entities.
The practitioner will draw upon their helping spirits to assist with the removal.
The Practitioner evokes a receptive state that enables access to information or assistance from the helping spirits, to guide the session.
Everyone will benefit from a clearing, every few months, depending on what type of lifestyle you lead.
See below for what is cleared and examples of the types of healings available.
Shamanic Healing can also involve retrieving information from guides on various afflictions, or provide useful information to help you make decisions.
Sometimes a little assistance from our helping spirits can help us make tweaks that can change the course of our lives.
Plus they are happy to provide some guidance where necessary.
Sometimes, we are influenced by conflicting desires that are not our own. Such influences can cause us to adopt undesired habits or personality traits.
Removing these 'spirit' influences can lift a very heavy burden from us.
Also, our Soul energies can fragment and get temporarily lost to us.
This can happen with simple shocks, or setbacks, or accidents and can impair our ability to feel like ourselves.
See the section on Soul Retrieval.
Getting these fragments back can transform our energy states and sense of wellbeing.
The wisdom that shows us how to access our own innate guidance and healing is always available to those willing to listen.
Our organs, cells and bodies have the ability to tell us what is needed to restore balance.
Where a person has not developed the sense acuity to commune with the body or Soul, then there are alternative sources of help available.
The spirits of plants, animals, mythical creatures, and transcendent beings, are powerful allies.
However, we meet them fully when we place ourselves in our highest sovereign state and treat them as equals.
For those who have been trained to access them, plants and animal spirits can provide a gateway to commune with our bodies, souls, and spirit guides.
This should not replace, but rather augment our sovereign authority.
Everyone will benefit from an entity clearing session...
Soul Retrieval
Restoring disassociated Soul portions, which can be easily dislodged from the body's energy field. This can be a contributing factor to chronic fatigue and other debilitating symptoms.
Power Animal Retrieval
When a person no longer accesses their Spirit Animal, nor listens to its guidance, (mostly due to not knowing of it's existence); it eventually leaves them. Reconnecting a person back with their Spirit Animals can offer amazing healing opportunities.
Spirit Weaving
Weaving Divine threads invokes appropriate energies and spirits as necessary to fulfil a client's intention for healing or otherwise. The practitioner may work with different spirits: ancestors, devas, the angelic realm, mythical beings, power animals, elemental beings, etc., grids, timelines, energies, akashic records, dimensions and frequencies to assist in the healing session. This potent Celtic method can clear over 600 types of Spiritual and Spirit Intrusions.
Divination
In those instances where clarity, to help decide the right course of action, is needed; the helping and compassionate spirits can provide surprisingly useful insight and information.
A Few Examples of Healing techniques used in a session
Spiritual Intrusion Removal
Clearing unwanted and troublesome energies from the body, organs and energy field to restore balance and patch auric holes and punctures. Much of this will be done via Spirit Weaving and can clearly over 400 types of intrusions. More ...
Compassionate Deposession
Clearing the influence of a deceased person from your energy field. Spirit influence is surprisingly common and not as dramatic as it sounds. The effects of a clearing can substantially change one's energy. More...
Shamanic Doctoring
Healing where the Shamanic Practitioner journeys or merges with their compassionate Spirit Allies to collect healing energies for the client for their specific ailment or illness, and transmits these through words, songs or movement.
Drum Healing
Sound, smoke, light frequencies all exist in vibrational form, between the physical and etheric realms. This makes them perfect mediums to transmit intention. More ...
Psycho Pomp
Crossing over deceased spirits. Usually done as compassionate work - pro bono. There are times when the confusion of death requires an intervention.
Soul Portion loss occurs when our experience of events causes our soul to disassociate from our body. In many cases this will cause a portion of the Soul to fragment and dislodge from the body's energy field.
Soul Portion loss is a contributing factor to power loss and also a contributing factor to chronic fatigue and other debilitating symptoms.
Many people are running on a reduced percentage of their power due to Soul fragmentation. Soul Portions generally want to come back.
SOUL PORTION RETRIEVAL
(symptoms are not a guarantee of soul portion loss)
Spiritual Intrusions is the term given to the 'beings' that metaphysically infest a person's energy field, weakening it or draining it of spiritual vitality. Intrusions can 'attach' to a person's field or can cause interference remotely. We have identified over 400 different types of intrusions and past life influences that can reduce one's spiritual vitality, causing us to feel depleted and always tired or feeling like we are constantly under attack.
Intrusions appear in many forms and if they remain unchecked, may deplete the field enough to leave the body susceptible to disease and illness. They normally affect the weakest areas of your energy field, but can interfere with any part of the body or field regardless of where they are located. Physical symptoms can result from such intrusions – some systems believe that all physical symptoms have metaphysical causes.
A typical healing session will remove between 40 and 80 common intrusions. The following gives some examples of causes:
Curses, Hexes, Spells, Attacks
These feel like Bad Vibes and are usually sent or picked up unconsciously:
Thought Forms
The negative circling thoughts you tell yourself can weaken your energy field. Also, other people's negative thoughts of you in your presence does this as well. If they persist, they are given 'life' and linger in the field. A weakened energy field is more susceptible to Intrusions.
Psychic & Etheric Parasites
Usually eat up psychic debris and waste but can also attach to already weakened energy fields opportunistically and add to one's generic toxicity.
Energy Vampires & Chords
Beings that feed of another's emotional energy. As well as people who are not aware of their own energetic boundaries, and create dynamics where their own power is leached from them by other people; or this energy can be given unintentionally to the things we put our focus on or give our attention towards.
People whose state of hardship becomes too much for them to handle can become emotionally and energetically drained and due to lack of awareness may seek other people as their source of energy.
Overbearing Institutions
Institutions, organisations and governments can impose energetic servitude which weakens one's energy field; so can extreme religions and draconian business practices.
Compassion Fatigue
Empathy puts you in energetic resonance to the person you are focusing on and if they are afflicted in someway then you make yourself an energetic match to the affliction. It's vary hard for Humans NOT to be compassionate - but you should understand the energetic cost to you.
Note when someone is in pain or suffering or complaining about symptoms or telling their story, they may unconsciously dump their negative energy onto you and this could either pass intrusions or weaken your energy field leaving you susceptible to intrusions.
Healthcare providers have to be aware of being dumped on. Indigenous cultures consider this sort of Shamanic knowledge as essential for everyone and not a luxury for the few.
Human energy fields are rechargeable...
Cleansing can be done regularly, as needed, depending on your level of risk from exposure to heavier energies.
Spirits can get stuck when they are in a contracted state of consciousness. In this state they have lost the ability to reason or explore other choices and options that might be available. This work provides the opportunity to wake them from their trance and guide them to a place that gets them help.
Spirt influence can be slight or substantial, with the later leading to drastic personality changes. This can all happen when our personal vitality is low, and at such times when we are under the influence of heavy emotions or substances.
Am I DEAD?
Much of the time the influencing Spirit is not aware that they have passed. Which means that this discovery can be quite a shock for them. What generally happens is that somehow they have been attracted to a weak field and managed to penetrate it, with out knowing that they have done so.
Surprisingly common
Some believe that most people have at some stage or are experiencing some degree of spirit influence. If the influence is lite, it may not be noticed at all, you will be making your own decisions, and usually running your own life.
Where the influence is greater than 50%, one may even notice personality changes to a lesser or greater degree.
Don't freak Out
Practitioners will not usually tell a client that they have spirit influences, depending on the clients level of maturity and level of "awakening".
However, some clients, already knowledgeable about Shamanic Healing specifically ask for this service.
Spirits are People too
Practitioners usually treat influencing spirits with a great deal of love and care as they can present like lost children - quite literally.
Even acting out Spirits are people
As with a bully, we tend to find that those spirits that are labeled dark or demonic, have suffered greatly in their life and quite possibly are still reliving the trauma they experienced when they were alive. It is always useful to remember that everyone deserves a chance to be helped, grow wiser, receive understanding and kindness, be awoken from trances or delusions and given an opportunity to gain greater understanding or chance to do the right thing and or atone.
Compassionate Depossession will mostly be a chance to provide care for someone in need and for the person being influenced, its an opportunity to be restored to a clearer state of being.
Drum Hypnosis & Journeying
Drumming is very useful for facilitating clients, who struggle to enter hypnotic states for therapy. Many of our private ceremonies will have an element of guided journeying facilitated by the medicine drum.
TUVAN Drum Healing
The Republic of Tuva, just outside of Mongolia, is home to an ancient tradition of Shamans that have shared their drum healing techniques with the Foundation for Shamanic Studies - from whom I learned this technique. Tuvan drum Healing can be used for chronic pain or physical illness, using the power of the helping spirits acting through the drum to help facilitate healing. Sky signals are used to call upper world beings to facilitate the healing.
Sound, smoke, and light frequencies all exist in vibrational form, between the physical and etheric realms. This makes them perfect mediums to transmit intention. Drums have been used in many traditions to help create sacred spaces, journey to other realms and heal. Some traditions maintain that no ceremony is possible without the presence of a sacred drum.
Drums, can be imbued with the spirits of the once living creatures that were used in its creation: the spirit of the wood surround, animal hide, and other materials used in the drum and stick. It is also possible to transmit healing from compassionate spirits.
Drums, like rattles, are an excellent means of sonic driving to create a shamanic state of conscious. When the correct cadence is used, this creates a carrier frequency to assist in traversing non ordinary reality.
