Shamanism is a term that is used in reference to the healing modalities of ancient tribal medicine men. Before there were doctors of medicine as we know today, shamans would treat the illness not only with ceremony and mixtures of herbs but also by working with a person’s soul.

Shamans heal the disease or condition of an individual at the soul level by working with the spirits of nature such as plants, animals, and the elements (air, fire, earth, water) as well as the spirits of people and ancestors. By shifting their consciousness through meditation, drum beats or other means, they travel through the spiritual realms while gaining knowledge and insights from these spirits to promote healing. Illness is viewed as a lack of power. In order to heal someone, the shaman journeys to retrieve the healing power that the person lost along the way and brings it back to them. This involves the removal of unhealthy, stuck energy in the body as well.

Examples of some shamanic healing techniques:

Soul Retrieval
It is a common belief among many Indian tribes that when a person has encountered frightening and traumatic experiences in life, a piece of their soul takes off into the spirit realms for safety. The shaman or healer goes into these realms to find the lost piece and brings it back to the person so they can feel whole again. It is a very powerful energetic shift. It is the client’s responsibility to manage the behavior so that it is integrated into their life.

Karma Releases & Past Lives
A karma release or past life work is used when you have a vicious cycle and/or heavy circumstance that keep repeating itself in life. By clearing the karma or past life, a powerful energetic shift can occur so these patterns become complete and/or break over time.

Extractions
There may be negative energy in the form of spiritual objects, entities or a deceased person that hasn’t been able to cross over. These energies can be held within the physical body or in a physical space. The shaman clears the negative energy with ceremony, prayer, sage, crystals and/or other means to remove these influences and brings back peace and love into the space.
