The shamanic journey is similar to a dream state, with a crucial difference: Your dream-body/spirit-body is traveling to other spiritual dimensions of consciousness (called “non-ordinary” reality) in a light, conscious trance state with a clear intention and under the guardianship of a power animal. Having a strong alliance with a power animal, or other helping spirit, ensures safe passage through spiritual dimensions. Access to these dimensions allows for guidance, healing and divination to be translated into our bodies and psyches in “ordinary” reality.

I use the conscious, intentional trance-state of the shamanic journey, known cross-culturally since ancient times, to bypass ordinary ego-consciousness to access relevant, beneficial guidance and information.

From a shamanic perspective, soul loss and negative outside influences create disturbance in the flow of life force through the body and psyche, effectively altering a person’s self-concept and biochemistry. The prevalence of clinical depression in our culture is largely due to emotional fragmentation and disconnection from the authentic self. Shamanic approaches can address these issues.

Soul Retrieval

Emotional numbness and feeling empty are often symptoms of “soul loss.” Soul loss occurs when the self fragments or disassociates due to trauma, shock or illness. Precious parts of one’s spiritual vitality leave (to accommodate a stressful or even life-threatening situation) as a protective measure in the moments of trauma. The long-term impact of this loss of connection with one’s aliveness can be devastating to emotional and physical health. In a soul retrieval, I journey with my helping spirits to find those missing parts of the self so they may be integrated in present time. 

Shamanic De-possession & Extraction

Persistent negative thoughts and emotions (e.g., uncharacteristic anger, negative, obsessive, fearful, morbid thoughts), sudden illness, unexplained pain and changes in one’s personality may indicate that there are negative, outside energies interfering with a person’s psyche and energy field. De-possession and extraction work identify and release the cause of this type of disturbance.

Power Animal & Spirit Teacher Retrieval

Everyone has guardian spirits in spiritual dimensions. I journey to non-physical dimensions to introduce clients to their spiritual allies. Having a conscious relationship with a helping spirit can enhance one’s sense of connection and intimacy with the world of spirit and one’s inner self.

Mediumship

When a loved one dies, there may be concern for their well-being: Is she at peace? Has his spirit moved on from this plane? How can I have emotional resolution with her now that she’s gone? This work facilitates conscious, respectful communication with loved ones who need help after physical death. It is also helpful for those in the dying process, helping them to be at peace in their transition.

Past Life Healing

Past life soul experiences can have a strong influence on the unconscious mind. I journey through what I call “potent memory points” in the client’s energy body to access past life storylines. The recognition and resolution of these past life themes allows for more understanding and well-being in present time.
