What is Shamanic Therapy?​

 

Shamanic Therapy integrates shamanic practices and traditional therapeutic techniques to facilitate healing and well-being. They utilize practices like journeying to different realms, interacting with spirits, and exploring the unseen forces that influence our lives to address physical, psychological, and spiritual imbalances.

​​​​

🌀 Shamanic Therapy

Origins & Philosophy:
Rooted in ancient indigenous traditions, shamanic therapy views healing as a journey involving the spiritual realm. Shamans act as intermediaries between the physical and spiritual worlds, aiming to restore balance and harmony. A shaman is a specific type of healer who uses an alternate state of consciousness to enter the invisible world, which is comprised of all unseen aspects of the world that affect us, including the spiritual, emotional, mental, mythical, archetypal, and dream worlds.

​

Core Practices:

• Altered States of Consciousness: Utilizes drumming, chanting, or breathwork to enter trance states for spiritual guidance.

• Soul Retrieval: Aims to recover lost parts of the soul due to trauma.

• Energy Clearing: Removes negative energies or entities affecting well-being.

• Ceremonial Rituals: Includes practices like smudging, offerings, and sacred ceremonies.

Approach:
Emphasizes experiential healing through direct interaction with spiritual entities and energies.

What does a Shamanic Session involve?

​

A shamanic healing session is a personalized, sacred experience designed to address imbalances in your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While each session is tailored to the individual's needs, common elements typically include:

🌀 1. Initial Consultation & Intention Setting

The session begins with a conversation between you and the shamanic practitioner to discuss your current challenges, medical history, and goals. This dialogue helps in setting clear intentions for the healing work ahead. 

🔔 2. Creating a Sacred Space

The practitioner prepares the environment to facilitate healing, often incorporating elements like incense, candles, crystals, and sacred objects. This space is designed to be safe and conducive to spiritual work.

🧘 3. The Shamanic Journey

Central to the session is the shamanic journey, where the practitioner enters an altered state of consciousness—often through drumming, rattling, or chanting—to access spiritual realms. In this state, the shaman seeks guidance and healing energy from spirit allies to address the client's concerns. 

✨ 4. Healing Techniques

Depending on the insights gained during the journey, the practitioner may employ various healing methods, such as:

• Energy Clearing: Removing blockages from the client's energy field.

• Soul Retrieval: Reintegrating lost soul fragments due to trauma.

• Power Animal Retrieval: Connecting the client with spiritual allies for strength and guidance.

• Chakra Illumination: Balancing and energizing the body's energy centers.

🌿 5. Integration and Aftercare

Post-healing, the practitioner discusses the experience with the client, offering insights and recommendations for integrating the healing into daily life. This may include practices like journaling, meditation, or specific rituals to get more benefits from a session. 

 

Note: The duration of a shamanic healing session can vary, often lasting from 1- 3 hours, depending on the depth of work involved.
