SHAMANIC SERVICES EXPLAINED
The shaman looks for the spiritual problem behind
the client's problem in OR. The client could be experiencing the feeling
of hopelessness and despair, physical illness, confusion, powerlessness,
or just feeling lethargic or frightened for no explainable reason. The
shaman will journey for a client to determine the course of action.
- If the problem is an imbalance, the shaman might
be led to bring back a client's
power animals, and teach
the client how to work with them to restore different kinds of power
and balance to their life.
- If the problem is a fragmented soul (soul
loss), this could require soul
retrieval, and preparing the client to receive back lost
soul parts is a part of the shaman's duties.
- If the client feels he is doing something not
of his nature, the shaman's journey may show a need for an extraction.
The shaman provides assistance by locating the "lost spirit"
that has attached to the client, coaxing it from the "host"
and sending it on th the Spirit World — thus bringing peace and
healing to both.
- Our culture leaves many people who are nearing
death or who have a great fear of
death alone and without comfort. The shaman can lead such
clients on a variety of journeys to familiarize them with death and
life-after-death issues, thus relieving
many fears.
- Yet another portion of shamanic work is in connecting
people with their ancestors.
- Dealing with illness
is another area where the shaman can sometimes be helpful, assisting
the client in finding and eliminating the source of the dis-ease.
- Many shamanic practitioners work with the spirits
of nature to help restore balance to Mother Earth. By learning how to
transform personal and environmental pollution, and through the transmutation
of negative beliefs, attitudes and energy, the earth can be restored
to balance. On May 8, 2004 a world-wide medicine wheel ceremony was
held with this purpose in mind. People gathered in medicine wheel ceremonies
around the world to drum and sing spirit songs to help restore balance
to our Mother Earth. Join my Mailing
List to be notified of future events of this nature.
If you are not familiar with shamanic journey techniques or you
are uncomfortable in doing this work alone, I would be happy to help you.
Please read my article, "What
are Animal Spirits and Power Animals? How do I find my Power Animals?",
then contact me and I will provide
you with the details for how we might work together, either in person
or at a distance.
I prepare the client to receive back the lost soul
parts, then travel to the Lower World to retrieve and return them to their
original home within the client. Another journey may be undertaken
to determine what the client must do to keep the soul whole, including
a ceremony to honor the returning parts, taking responsibility for self,
seeking out counseling or further medical treatment. Each case is different.
Why would someone need soul retrieval? Please read
my article, "Soul Loss
and Soul Retrieval", then contact
me and I will provide you with the details for how we might work
together, either in person or at a distance. If you would like to
read more about Soul Retrievals, Sandra Ingerman’s book Soul
Retrieval is the place to start. She has also recorded
a two cassette tape series entitled The
Soul Retrieval Journey: Seeing in the Dark that explains the process
in detail.
Sometimes
a person knows they are doing something not of their own nature, as though
they were inhabited by another being, which may require a soul extraction.
