| What is Shamanic Healing? |
  |
| Shamans view illness holistically, by
tracking the alignment of mind, body and spirit. This Balance is essential
for our health and relates not only to our internal health but also
to our external health (relationship to others and the world around
us). Rather than trying to cure a symptom, which is the tradition of western medicine, shamans look at the whole system and track the symptom to its source. Shamans believe that all illness has an energetic origin, which is based in some trauma that the patient has experienced. The trauma energetically imprints that person and if left unhealed or untended can develop into a chronic emotional, mental or physical condition. Therefore, shamans heal the energetic origins of illness, so the imprint of trauma no longer informs our reality or health and we can return to a state of balance. Cross culturally, most shamanic healing focuses on the following aspects: Power Loss, Soul Loss, Intrusions, Spirit Releasing, Ancestral work, and in the Peruvian Q’ero tradition, energetic imprints in the luminous energy field. Sometimes when we are stuck in repetitive patterns with regard to emotional, physical or spiritual well-being, despite our best efforts we cannot seem to break free from limiting or damaging beliefs. Shamanic healing is a wonderfully effective form of healing where we can trace the root of the problem as opposed to the story we are familiar with and change the affinity for the issue within our energy system. This, in turn, frees us from old binding thought patterns and behaviours and connects us to the infinite possibilities available to us. We respect all religions and traditions and our healing practices do not negate any beliefs that you have. |
