Shamanic Healing - what exactly is it?

Happy "end of May" everyone, and I hope the New Moon in Gemini (peaking yesterday at around midday) treated you well.

I don't post much on my websites about the "shamanic healing" I offer, so this post is going to go some way to explaining this through my own lens and how I work.

Shamanic healing or shamanism is an incredibly broad term to explain an earth-and-spirit-based way of life that sees all as being "at one" with everything else. We are not separate from the earth or the stars, and the energetic and material items given to us from both are gifts which can heal us. From the earth comes herbs, food, water, and some rocks. From the cosmos comes meteorites and some crystals, fire, some flowers, and Spirit. (To put it simply.)

I tend to use three main avenues to living and healing in a shamanic way:

1. Shamanic Perception: this is about shifting one's way of seeing and thinking to encompass the greater design to life, Great Spirit, and the Great Mystery (that which cannot be known), so you can see your situation in a new way, find new solutions, and find inner-peace and balance which begins all healing processes within you. This is given through my Circles, and through coaching and shamanic counselling sessions. Sometimes this can also be achieved through energy healing and the support of flower essences.
2. Spiritual Communication: this involves connecting with and speaking to Spirit and encouraging you to do this through your own higher self and intuition, so you can find the right path for you through your own certainty and autonomy. I do this through divination and channelling - ideally not for you, but with you. Meditative practices like the shamanic journey also fall into this category, as does ritual and ceremony to open the mind and senses and strengthen your Spirit relationship.
3. Shamanic Healing: this encompasses energy and bodily healing through the use of hands-on healing, crystals, herbs, and homoeopathy (not usually all of them, but whichever you may respond best to / is the most suitable). This is one of the reasons I take a full medical history at your first session - as well as for safety regarding herb-drug interaction, it is much needed and very insightful for me, and while you think you may not need it for energy healing, you would be surprised at the medical and family patterns that come up, that are then very useful for me to know when working on energy blocks from ancestral karma and so on. Hands-on healing can also be quite physical, working on ligaments, joints, tendons, bones, and so on, all through the energy points of the body (what you might know of as chakras and meridian lines).

While I tend to use shamanic healing or shamanism as my central focus, herbal medicine, flower essences, and homoeopathy can be given as main modes of treatment if preferred. It's all about you, what you need, and what you want. (I don't really see them as separate, but all branches of the same tree.)

Hands-on healing can be quite physical, working on ligaments, joints, tendons, bones, and so on, all through the energy points of the body (what you might know of as chakras and meridian lines). It is always conducted fully clothed.

Whatever ailment you come to see me for, it can incorporate any of the above. You can also let me know which of the above you feel drawn to. For example, it might make logical sense to use herbs to clear a long-standing cough, but if you instinctively feel drawn to energy healing in order to clear the cough, we can do that - your intuition is important in your own healing.

The first session is usually at least 90 minutes (except in some instances like divination which is usually an hour), and subsequent sessions can range from 20 minutes to 3 hours. (I charge at £1 per minute, or £60 per hour, with herbal remedies being extra.)

I don't offer things like packages just because, with the way I work, one size really does not fit all, and energy is fluid - you may move through your healing very fast and only need two or three sessions, or there may be layers to clear before you really start to move. A client can be one-off, or a client can be for years because they find every session beneficial. But either way, you will know what you want and need because you will feel it within you - you will get a sense and a yearning, and most people feel whatever changes are taking place within, especially if they live very consciously in terms of their high-self awareness.

Next week, I'll speak a bit more about the Munay-Ki rites and how this can kick-start your deeper connection with Spirit and needed changes within your life through the energetic transference of the rites.

Have a wonderful week and Jubilee!

Best wishes,
