Energy Healing
Shamanic energy healing is a holistic approach that combines spiritual, energetic, and intuitive practices to promote healing and balance within the individual. While shamanic healing is rooted in ancient wisdom and indigenous traditions, there are scientific explanations that can help us understand its mechanisms and effects.
One aspect of energy healing involves working with the subtle energy body, which is believed to exist alongside the physical body. According to scientific principles, everything in the universe, including our bodies, is composed of energy. This energy flows through pathways called meridians or channels, as recognized in ancient Chinese medicine, and chakras, as termed in many Eastern traditions. Energy healing aims to identify and correct imbalances or blockages within these energy pathways, restoring the smooth flow of energy throughout the body.
Another scientific explanation lies in the mind-body connection. Studies in psychoneuroimmunology have shown that our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can influence our physical health. Energy healing recognizes the impact of our mental and emotional states on our overall well-being. By working with the energy body and addressing underlying emotional or energetic imbalances, these practices can help release stagnant energy, promote emotional healing, and support physical wellness.
Furthermore, energy healing that is rooted in shamanic traditions often incorporates techniques such as drumming, chanting, or rattling, which can induce relaxation and alter brainwave patterns. Research has shown that these practices can lead to a state of deep relaxation, similar to the effects of meditation. This relaxed state activates the parasympathetic nervous system, allowing the body to enter a state of rest, repair, and healing.
While scientific studies have explored various aspects related to energy healing, these practices encompass a rich tapestry of spiritual and intuitive elements that may not yet have been fully elucidated by scientific research. The true essence and power of shamanic energy healing extend beyond what can be solely explained by science. Try it and you will be amazed!
What you can expect:
All sessions are conducted in sacred space, a safe and confidential space, whether in person or in my zoom healing room. In these private sessions you have the opportunity to re-align your body, mind and energetic field with your better intentions for your life.
The sessions begin with an intake discussion of the issue to be worked on. We focus on how the issue effects your body, your life and your energy. You then lie comfortably and the energetic work begins, during which your energy field is cleared of any affinities to that issue or problem. Issues can include
any sort of physical discomfort
a wish for more energy and inspiration in life
identifying and clearing psychological obstacles
finding and expressing your voice
relational difficulties, etc.
People who undertake such healings often report feeling relaxed, sometimes seeing colors or visions, and feeling an overall sense of release and relief. Through these sessions, you can reset to a newer, more intentional trajectory for your movement through in this world, both through your self-image, and your relationships . There is also time afterward for integration of the experience, as well as personally-tailored practices to be followed for weeks thereafter, to assimilate the changes into your life.
Online sessions have the same healing effect, since in shamanism we work in the energetic realm, where there is no time and no space, as we are accustomed to understanding them in our minds.
How to prepare for the sessions:
Generally, what we do during a session depends on the issues you will bring. If you do not have a clear issue you would like to explore, please consider questions such as “What is out of balance in my life?”, “What patterns have I noticed that I keep repeating in relationships/work?”, “What physical issues do I have, are they chronic?”
As in any kind of healing or therapy, it is important you set an intention for healing and releasing patterns and behaviours that do not suit you anymore.
