Shamanics and shamanic healing are terms used to describe working with the essence of universal shamanism, an ancient form of healing with roots extending to many cultures within the world. Shamanism is as relevant today as at any time in the past.

A person, such as myself who works in this way is not necessarily a shaman, but uses shamanic techniques in their healing work and in their personal development.

The shamanic techniques I work with during healing are:

• Drum, rattle and singing bowl
• Journeying
• Soul fragment retrieval
• Etheric cord removal
• Removal of intrusions

During treatments I often combine Shamanic techniques with Reiki to help with areas such as etheric cord removal, or removal of intrusions.

Drum, rattle & singing bowl

The vibration of these instruments can be a very powerful way to help clear the energy field, shift blockages and assist healing. The drum and rattle are also used in shamanic practice to help shift consciousness.

Each instrument has a different purpose and place in my healing work. I may use them on their own or in combination with another therapy.

A whole session, for example, can be used to provide healing, with the drum played over the body, changing vibration and bringing healing both within the physical and energetic body, as the the changing vibration clears energetic imbalances. Equally the singing bowl may be used in the same way or combined with Reiki or massage to assist healing.

Journeying

Journeying in shamanism is where the shaman enters an altered state of consciousness to work with spirit guides or helpers to seek information. This information can then be used to help with healing. During a treatment I journey on your behalf to find out what it is you need or need to know. Anything I discover is then either used in your healing or passed on to you at the end of your treatment.

I can also help you to journey and find answers for yourself.

Soul Fragment Retrieval

When we are faced with traumatic events, in our lives we can lose part of ourselves in the process. This is called soul loss. It is our way of protecting ourselves and helps us survive difficult situations.

These can be situations such as accident, surgery, injury, abuse, heavy disappointment, or bereavement but can also be what seemed traumatic at the time due to our age for example.

Soul fragment retrieval usually takes place during a hands-on session.

Etheric Cord Removal

We all have etheric or energetic cords which connect us to the people in our lives, people we have some kind of relationship with. Most of these cords are healthy but sometimes we develop unhealthy relationships or have difficulty letting go of relationships that have ended.

Unhealthy and unfinished relationships can really drain our energy so having these cords removed from the body can help us regain our full energy and in some cases, to move on.

I work with my client to help them visualise the unhealthy cord and then assist them in fully removing the cord and returning it to its rightful owner. Once the cord is removed I work with Reiki and light to completely fill the vacuum left behind.

Cord removal takes place with the client fully clothed and laid on a treatment table. A cord removal session usually takes a full two hours.

Removal of Intrusions

Sometimes it can feel as if there is something physically in the body even though we have been told there is nothing there. This may be felt as a discomfort or pain.

I work with visualisation and tourmaline crystal to help free the intrusion from the body to enable healing to take place. Reiki may be used to relax my client both before and after the intrusion has been removed.

Treatment Time

Most shamanic healing sessions take 90-120 minutes including consulation
