Shamanism is one of the worlds most ancient healing modalities. It is also about the way in which one walks in the world - closely connected to nature and spirit without the need for hierarchical structure.
Shamanism is not a religion, or witchcraft, or sorcery. It is a spiritual path and a methodology for healing.
There is no dogma or doctrine in Shamanism, only direct connection to Spirit. Shamans and recipients of Shamanism come from all backgrounds and religions. Shamanism is a beautiful and non-invasive form of healing arts.
Generally speaking, sessions have 3 parts to them: an intake segment, the energetic work, and the exit.
The intake consists of a conversation on what a client wants to work on - this is where clients bring any questions and concerns to the table and we co-discover and bring awareness to the root issue to be worked on.
The second part is the energetic work, or table work. This is where the client lays down on a massage table and the practitioner works at the level of the energetics in order to find what is binding the client, and clearing and releasing work is done.
The third part is the exit piece, where again a conversation is had and techniques are employed to help the client anchor in the shift that was made during the session, so that they may walk a new walk going forward on their journey path.
Sessions usually last about 90 minutes, but can go up to 2 hours. If possible you'll want to give yourself plenty of time and space around your session.
Clients usually have light bulb moments of insights during their sessions which can be a relief.
Also the session involves releasing of old emotions and traumas from the body, the energy field, and their timeline, so clients have a sense of calmness and peace by the end of their session.
It completely depends on what we find and what you experience after your session.
Sometimes I might pick up on more work that needs to be done at a later time, and sometimes clients feel like one session is all that is needed. Some issues take time to unravel and we play it by ear as we go. I do not offer series for these reasons.
Sessions can be done in person or over the phone. This is energetic work so space and time are not an issue.
Shamanism is a great way for kids to develop healthily. Most of the time, especially with younger kids, the work is done long distance and only with their permission.
For the most part Shamanism can benefit anything a person could struggle with.
Commonly I see physical issues, relational issues, self-esteem issues, blocks in career, or getting to the next level in life, addictions, fear, self-sabotage, apathy, unwelcomed attachments and cording to other people or spirits.
Shamans perform ceremony for the dying, helping them to get to go home safely and peacefully. Shamans clear entities from spaces, helping wondering souls to find their way. Shamans have many skills and can almost always benefit a situation even if other modalities need to be employed first or along with Shamanism.
Typically narcissism cannot be treated by Shamanism because permission is always needed from the client - narcissists don't think they have any issues so will never seek out assistance. Shamans never work with clients unless permission is granted.
