Healing Sessions
This ancestral healing method predates all of western medical practices of the modern world. Shamanic healing is a practice dating back at least 75,000 years and is the most ancient healing tradition known on the planet.
Shamanism stems from the understanding that all healing has a multi-level component and that the spiritual, emotional, intelectual and energetic body need to be treated in order for a person to be well.
Healings clear energies and obstacles stuck in the body or emotional field, which are the root of painful patterns and prevent healing.
Obstacles may include past, present, acute or chronic stress, fear, grief, depression, trauma, illnesses, injuries, outdated patterns & beliefs, surgery, lung issues, fractures, over-thinking, accidents, unhealthy habits, concussion, gastro intestinal issues, ancestral trauma – the list is endless.
Shamanic healings help to restore balance, harmony, alignment and vitality to the body, mind, heart and life.
Shamanic healing can help with:
- Stress, worry, anxiety, grief
- Feeling "off" or ungrounded
- Injury, pain, fractures, illnesses
- Pre and post-surgery
- Fogginess, Covid
- Energy blocks, old habits, obstacles
- Exploring root cause of issues
- Life changes…
- ...and so much more!
Note: Contrary to what “google’ says, shamanism is NOT a system of religious practice. In fact, Shamanism is not based on any religious dogma whatsoever.
What to Expect
Healing Sessions
Healing Sessions
During an in-person session, you rest on a massage table, fully clothed. For a remote session (via phone or internet), it's best to be in a quiet comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
Healing might include traditional shamanic tools, icaros (sacred song), sound, feathers, smudging, allies, blessings, Spirit animals and elementals, rattles, stones, and touch as guided for each individual. Session are 30-40 minutes.
More Specifically
Shamanic healing (in-person and remote) starts with a short discussion to find out about symptoms and other pertinent information. The practitioner then prepares by entering a meditative state, quietly observing the patient and calling on their own helping spirits, as well as the patient’s allies, to reveal what the healing requires. This meditation is a powerful way to get to the root of the issue.
Based on the guidance the practitioner receives, they may use different approaches and select the appropriate shamanic tools for the individual. Because many concerns stem from blocked energy, the process often begins with clearing stagnant energy and restoring its flow.
The practitioner may work with sound or frequency healing—using the voice, drum, or rattle—along with tools such as feathers, tobacco, sage, crystals, or others to clear energetic debris and resistance tied to emotional patterns, stimulate energetic circulation, restore lost aspects of the self, or clear unhelpful energies and obstacles.
Occasionally the practitioner may use simple ancient massage techniques (in-person healings). The practitioner often sings, whistles, or hums traditional healing melodies.
Depending on the issue, healing can be quick, but sometimes it takes time to integrate the session. Not everything can be healed in one session. For multiple issues, it may take a few sessions.
Remote healings are typically 30-40 minutes and are just as effective as in-person healings.
Drum Journeys
Drum journeys are an effective way to move from a state of ordinary reality to non-ordinary reality. In other words, journeys help us go from the physical reality into the Spiritual World - also called the Shamanic state of consciousness.
Normally, we are missing a lot of information in our day to day life and in our physical reality. Drum journeys help us to access information, knowledge and healing that is often not available in our physical dimension. Journeys promote altered states to:
- Access information for healing, or recieve healing itself
- Problem solve
- Get an answer to a question
- Receive help with a relationship
- Heal emotional stress, trauma or process deep emotions
- Reduce stress and gain deep relaxation
- Clear up writer or artist’s block, unlock creative potential and sharpen creativity
- Meet or talk with an ally, power animal, Spirit guide or an ancestor
- Explore strategies for your business (individually or with your colleagues where everyone can journey on the same question)
- Learn about your history
- Connect with nature
- OR, you can leave the journey open to see what insights comes through
- ...the opportunities are endless
Drum journeys are common to all Shamanic cultures and one of the oldest practices and common to all cultures through history. For tens of thousands of years, Shamans journeyed into different realms to access information about where the food is, where to hunt, or how to heal someone. If they didn’t divine or journey effectively, people died. Therefore, journeying is an age-old result-oriented practice and very effective.
Most people's first journey is informative and helpful. For some, the non-ordinary world opens up quickly, for others it is progressive. Good journeys sometimes take practice. Doing regular drum journeys will improve over time and you will be able to access more healing and information, and, the information will become clearer.
Individual and group journeys offered.
