How Does Shamanic Healing Work?

While traditions vary across indigenous cultures globally, most share a common methodology:

• Journeying: Practitioners will enter a trance-like state, usually with the assistance of a drum or rattle, to bring about healing and guidance from the spirit world.
• The Hollow Bone: Practitioners act as a bridge or conduit between you and the spirit world, they do not perform the healing themselves.
• Spirit Allies: Healing is performed and guided by a network of helpers including spirit guides, ancestors, deities, guardians of the land, as well as animal and plant medicine.

Emotional and Physical Wellbeing

Shamanic healing can help with any number of issues and can assist with emotional and physical wellbeing. When we finally heal past traumas in our energy body, the results can be remarkable, bringing about the following: 

• Release: Freedom from repetitive patterns or “stuck” emotions.
• Wholeness: A reclaimed sense of inner peace and vitality.
• Purpose: An increased sense of meaning and joy.
• Connection: A deeper alignment with Mother Earth, Spirit, and the Higher Self.

What Does a Session Involve?

Every session is completely unique. A typical session at Shaman of Perth begins with a consultation to understand your situation and set an intention. This is followed by a scan of your energetic field to identify blockages or areas of soul loss.

While you relax into a meditative state, I will journey on your behalf to perform the necessary energetic work such as removing intrusions and soul retrieval

Aspects of Shamanism

There are many different ways in which shamanism can help an individual ranging from soul retrieval and ancestral clearing to past life healing and psychopomp, but it’s not just limited to the individual.

The land we walk upon, our homes, and the spaces where we work can all accumulate stagnant or heavy energy and benefit from shamanic healing. By clearing these environments and raising our own vibrational frequency, we create a ripple effect of healing.

As we heal ourselves and our surroundings, we contribute to the balance and vitality of the entire Web of Life. Take a look at the different aspects of shamanism here.
