Shamanic healing is a spiritual and physical practice based on the belief that all healing includes a spiritual dimension. Shamans use altered states of consciousness to communicate with other realms of reality. The shaman's journey is to help the patient or community to rediscover their connection to nature and spirit and then use that connection for healing and balanced living.
Shamanic Healing is a process that can be used to to unite our body and spirit and heal ourselves. We then become able to live in a more peaceful and aware manner. We gain understanding of life’s changes and events. We become able to restore balance, health and happiness and to be a positive influence in the world.
The essential perspective of the Shaman is:
~ Everything is alive. Everything has spirit and awareness.
~ Energy and matter are the same. Everything is vibration. Everything that exists is an energy system within a greater energy system.
~ Everything that exists is connected to everything else in a web of energy or life.
~ Unseen / inner / spiritual reality affects visible or physical reality.
The Shamanic understanding of health and illness focuses on personal power. Power consists of balance, health and self-knowledge. Disease and sickness results when a person's spiritual power is weakened in some way. Illness is caused by patterns of energy that are harmful for the individual. Shamanic Healing focuses on finding and changing these patterns.
Shamanic Healing works with the unseen to create changes our in everyday reality. It is a method for accessing the spirit or energy field of anything or anyone. Working within this system of perceptions, shamanic healing strives to create balance and harmony of the spirit for the individual, the community and All Things.
It is important to note that anyone can take part in the Shamanic Healing process. It is not a religion or club. It is a method of healing that can and has been practiced by Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Celts, Native Americans and all other peoples on Earth. mso-2008
