What is a Shaman and what is spirit medicine or shamanic healing?
The actual word "shaman" is derived from the Siberian word for a spiritual leader, or "one who is raised." As it became more widespread, the title of shaman was used interchangeably with "medicine man," "medium," and "healer." Indigenous communities around the world, from Central and Northern Asia to North America to Central and South America, practiced various forms of shamanism.
Most famously, shamans were known for their ability to communicate with the dead. . They'd use their connections with the other side to seek counsel and heal community members. It is common for shamans to treat both physical and emotional ailments — along with the shaman's role within his or her community to help others understand and cope with grief.
With the spread of organised religion across the globe, shamanic practices went unknown to those outside of the in indigenous communities and were often vilified as 'magic' or occult rather than spiritual.Because modern culture doesn’t have a role for the shamanic archetype, many people who grow up outside indigenous villages are shamans and didn't know it.In recent years the term 'shamanism' has come back in to use to express it's essence that transcends culture and race to is a practice that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with the spirit world and channel these subtle transcendental energies into this world for healing and guidance.
Shaman's are a bridge between the material and the spiritual world and are conduits for divine energy made of grace and sacred light.. At it's simplistic level the spiritual world can be viewed as one that is made up on subtler energies that vibrate higher than can be seen and heard in this physical plane.
At the deepest level, a Shaman will channel healing energy that is seen as a divine light that can change your subtle or etherial body landscape, vibration or energy flow and this shift on the subtle causal planes in turn creates a change in your external environment or physical material plane..
What does a shaman do?
Shamanic practitioners call on helping spirits in subtler realities to heal people here by restoring their spiritual power. It is the high vibrational energy of spirit that the shaman acts a channel that activates the healing capabilities of those who come to be present in this light. Shamanic healing can be seen as part of a holistic system that works with other modalities, such as Western medicine.
Shamans surrender to the energy and guidance that spirit brings forward in it's many guises, working to increase light and life force energy and release blocks or dark energy. A Shaman must be able to surrender to the highest source of light and grace filled energy vibrations and be able to transmit that energy onto others as a healing and harmonic force..
Spirit medicine can provide healing that can transform a person’s experience of their physical, mental and emotional world, it can release long held and often unconscious pain and trauma. A Shaman can help you to understand your soul's purpose, providing clearing tools and guidance on how to break negative energy cycles and vibrations
Shaman’s are called upon to provide many different forms of spiritual healing from healing grief, cutting unhealthy energy cords, removing the energy of blocks caused by emotional or physical trauma held in the body, healing ancestral patterns, incarnation trauma and remove heavy attachments and emotional bondage. A Shaman is also able to balance and lift heavy energy, that can be experienced as disease, sickness, anxiety, fatigue, feelings of ‘stuckness’, depression; restoring self love and kindness and compassion for others.
Soul lines and soul retrievalsrecognise that often to help people move forward in their lives, we must go back in time and step on a soul line. Guided by spirit, we are taken back in time, to heal, replenish soul light, and restore soul wholeness. Many cultures who practise shamanic healing refer to this as a ‘soul retrieval’. From my experience, I don’t feel we lose parts of our soul. I feel that our soul light gets dimmed, and though the grace of divine spirit, we are able to turn your soul light up to full strength, and glorious beauty.
Ultimately the Shaman helps others to remember the fullness of our own soul light – to feel strong in our connection to our divinity. Each of us deserves to experience a balance of masculine and feminine energy, (being head and heart energy), and to feel harmonious, healthy, joy-filled, loved and loving. A shamanic healing can bring illumination of your light – hallelujah to the beauty of YOU!
Can shamanism be taught?
Most who feel the call of shamanism sense it as being a remembering the already present shaman nature dwelling within. IN this sense people do not 'learn' to be shamans. They always were and are now just remembering the way as they are guided inevitably along the path. You will know if you are called to this path, because you will likely want to take detours away from it at numerous points; but the call of discipline, self-responsibility and a desire to help others through spiritual energies will keep brining you back to the path your were always destined to journey.
What a Shaman will not do.
will not tell you what to do, what path to take, or predict your future. Soul sessions reconnect you into your soul light, opening you to your soul wisdom and divine inspiration. Your highest guides will not directly tell you either. We do not fortune tell, future predict or tell anyone which door they should walk through. Our role is to deliver the guidance as directed by spirit, “leading you to water”, guiding you towards your authentic path.
Through us, spirit will guide you as we nurture your humanness and soul with love – yet your decisions are yours to make. It is also possible to block the healing gifted from spirit. A person must be open to accept love. For this reason, we do not recommend that you insist a loved one has a healing.
If a person rejects love, it is possible that they may resist the healing, their heart will stay closed – preventing access to the soul. Instead we encourage you to trust in divine timing, honouring the path each unique soul is on.
