Shamanic Healing

---

Shamanism is one of the world's oldest spiritual and healing traditions, practiced in different forms across many cultures for thousands of years. At its core, shamanism is about connecting with the spirit world, nature, and unseen energies to bring healing, guidance, and balance to individuals and communities. Although practices differ between cultures (such as Native American, Andean, Mongolian, or Celtic Shamanism etc.), there are shared themes of journeying, healing, nature connection, and service to the community. 

At heart, Shamanism is about healing disconnection and restoring right relationship- with self, with nature, with ancestors, and with the spiritual forces that shape life. 

What is a Shamanic Practitioner?

They are the medicine women and men of every community, able to operate in the invisible realm. They are the liaison, the ambassador, between the esoteric realm of energy and the earth that we live on. 

The word shaman comes from the Evenki tribe in Siberia and means "one whos sees in the dark" or "one who knows", and it has become more widely known in the western world over the last decades. Though called by different names depending on the culture- curandera/curandero, medicine man/woman- the term implies the ability to receive guidance and healing power  through various manifestations of Spirit- such as animals, plants, ancestors, dreams, and journeys into non-ordinary reality. 

One fundamental operating principle in shamanic work is that of direct revelation, which means receiving guidance directly from spirit guides. 

Shamanic Practitioners access another reality known as "non-ordinary reality" in order to work with helping spirits to divine and heal by restoring harmony and removing blockages - whether spiritual, emotional, or physical. This might involve retrieving lost soul parts, removing intrusive energies, or bringing power and protection back to a person. Practitioners use rituals, songs, dance, offerings, and sacred tools (like drums, rattles, feathers, or stones) to call in energies and carry out spiritual work.

The Shamanic Practitioner facilitates the healing with strategies and "seeing" to one degree or another, while the client brings to the session what the work is that needs to be addressed. The intention to heal plays a major role in the outcome. It is the individual who must come forward with the desire and intention of becoming well and realizing that the work, at the end of the day, is always theirs.
