"A shaman is one who is adept at consciously moving between the planes of existence at will and for a specific purpose."  ~ Mircea Eliade

Shamanism

Our times call for, and indeed require, that we transform non-beneficial conditions so that we can move toward healthy, sustainable, peaceful, positive conditions -- both for ourselves as individuals and as a collective, interdependent Whole.  Shamanism can help us do this.

There is evidence that shamanism has been in practice for at least 30,000 years, on every inhabited continent.  Throughout the world, shamanism has a wide range of beliefs and practices.  In general, shamanistic cultures believe that humans are part of the totality of nature and recognize the inter-dependence of humans with each other and with our planetary environment.

Native peoples also recognize our connection with other beings in the universe, those whom we call extra-terrestrials or Star People.  In fact, many native peoples around the world believe that their ancestors go back thousands of years, with ancient stories indicating a long relationship with Star Beings in the universe.  These beliefs are outpictured culturally in their stories, art, dances and ceremonies.

No matter the various forms of shamanism throughout the world, there are commonalities among those who become a shaman for the tribe.  All shamans are adept at consciously moving between the planes of existence at will and for a specific purpose.  Shamans act as intermediaries on behalf of their culture by purposefully interacting and communicating with other realms of existence, with some shamans being more adept than others.

In some cultures, a shaman is produced through vision quests, and in other cultures a shaman experiences initiation through a personal shamanistic inititation, which may be an extreme psycho-spiritual or physical crisis, normally involuntary.

Many variations and forms of shamanic practice have been created. It's not limited to being a Native American or an Aborigine.  I'm not Native American; I am of Irish Celtic extraction and, perhaps, that genetically influences my shamanic gifts.  What I do know is that I was born with the sensitivities, goals and abilities of a shaman and have experienced the extreme initiations.    

One of the shamanistic tools generally available to most people is the ability to enter other dimensions via "Shamanic Journeying."  I am pleased to include shamanic journeying in my personal "Divine Toolbox," because it gives me an additional way to access non-ordinary reality -- beyond time and space.  It's as easy and natural for me as breathing ... and has been all my life.  It offers another way to heal, problem solve, and explore, which I do for myself and for my clients.

One requirement for a shamanic journey is to change your brain waves and shift into an altered state of consciousness.  There are many ways to do that, most commonly through a percussive drumbeat.  Brainwaves synchronize with the tempo of the drumbeats. At 4 beats per second, your brainwave state shifts into the Theta state helpful to accessing non-ordinary reality.
 
To help you achieve a Theta state so that you can begin doing personal shamanic journeys, I created a shamanic drumming audio CD, drumming at 4 beats per second.  The CD is titled:  "SHAMANIC DRUMMING ~ PORTAL INTO KNOWING.  Click below for more information or to purchase the CD.  You can also CONTACT me if you would like to inquire about my shamanic services.

Shamanic Soul Retrieval

Soul retrieval is a shamanic approach to healing. In native traditions of shamanism, illness is an indication that the soul has vacated the body.  To correct the situation, the shaman journeys into alternate dimensions of reality to retrieve the soul and return it to the sick person, restoring wholeness and health.  This method can also be employed in the field of psychological health.  Splitting off of part of the "soul," the essential essence of a person, can occur during perceived traumatic situations, ranging from minor to severe, from the womb forward or backward in time.  Retrieving the lost part of the soul essence of the self can be an important step to returning you to psychological and spiritual wholeness, clarity, and strength -- your divine True Nature.

Nearly everyone who has suffered trauma has some form and degree of soul fragmentation or loss.  A person may have the experience of feeling dissociated, ungrounded, disconnected, of feeling like they are not in their body.  The senses may seem muffled, a person may sleep a lot or feel apathetic toward life.  They may feel like they are "not all there," "not at home," as if something is "missing."  There can be a feeling of emptiness, of having no heart, of having an empty tube or a big hole inside.  People may try to escape these feelings by isolating, addictions, projecting negativity onto others, denial, depression or creating distracting life dramas.

Physical traumas which lead to loss of essence can include any bodily intrusion with a real or imagined threat to survival (such as surgeries, organ donation and transplants, amputations of limbs, etc.), beatings or damage to any part of the physical body, and vehicular accidents.  Any sexual abuse such as rape or incest usually causes fragmentation.  Severe fragmentation with intense emotional residue can develop in military combat situations.  Self abuse through drugs and alcohol can cause soul loss, as will cult abuse, satanic and ritual abuse.

Sometimes a person will willingly give part of themselves away out of a sense of responsibility or duty, or in order to get love from another person, as a child might do to receive love from a parent.  Also, someone may send part of themselves to another person in order to build and maintain a connection or out of loneliness or grief at being separated.  This can be related to co-dependence in relationships. 

Soul theft can occur when part of the soul essence has been stolen by another person or being.  Loss of soul essence can occur in a child's psychic battle with an unhealthy parent, and it can be generational in families.  In relationships, theft of the soul essence of another person is an attempt to create a sense of personal power and esteem.  The "thief" is trying to cover up feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness by taking someone else's essence, energy, and vitality to use for themselves.

As a Shamanic Practitioner, I interdimensionally  journey to wherever the missing Soul Part/Essence is located.  Guided and aided by Spirit Helpers, I do whatever is necessary to retrieve the lost part and return it back "home" to you.   Everything is done with my intention for the highest, divine good for all concerned.

The goal in Shamanic Soul Retrieval is to fill you up with your own self so that you have the stability, energy and clarity necessary to move forward in life in a creative, healthy, happy, grounded way with increased wholeness and self love.  Discover the Divine Self.
