A shaman treatment has been called “ten years of healing in one session,” and can be a powerful way to free oneself from repeating unproductive patterns. What is a shaman? Shamans are practitioners of traditional medicine methods that have been passed down by indigenous peoples for millennia. Shamans believe that all “problems” –whether physical or emotional–have a source in energy. The job of the shaman is to locate that energy lying at a problem’s source in any individual and shift it, causing the symptoms of the problem to shift as well. A shaman believes that each of us has a soul that has lived many lifetimes and that this particular lifetime has a unique purpose and agenda. Determining one’s individual path in this life is aided by clarity and lightness; many of us are short of these qualities. Shaman watch and listen to an individual at ever-deepening layers until they identify the energy that needs attention; the shaman then works to remove heavy energy, add light, and shift the balance of a person’s system. This process can bring about healing at a foundational level. Why go to a shaman? There are many reasons to go to a shaman: emotional depression, anxiety, long-lasting periods of grief, anger, and a sense of dread. Physical symptoms such as insomnia, recurring nightmares, sudden weight changes, addiction, or disease (especially stress-related illnesses or unexplained physical pain) are also problems one might bring to a shaman session.The cause of these problems may be obvious, such as a response to some sort of trauma. Distress emanating from relationship-based issues like divorce, infidelity, toxic family or work relationships, and even the inability to get pregnant are also clear sources of pain. All of these can often be helped by a shaman. But often, the reasons for felt pain are unknown to the sufferers. Many who seek out a shaman shoulder a simple but overwhelming sense of just being “stuck,” with something unseen blocking movement forward. It is up to the shaman to find this energy source, setting into motion the shift necessary to alter problematic symptoms.Guided by Spirit and based off an intention, I use crystals, music, my voice, herbs, oils and instruments to balance the chakra system, perform soul retrieval, upgrades, and any spiritual healing your soul is requiring.
