Shamanism, Nature & Shamanic Healing Shamanic Healing: Journeying to health by harnessing the raw power of nature There is no other ancient body of knowledge that is so consistent globally.
(1)

Shamanism is the main ancient form of spiritual practice which dates back at least 35,000 years to the time of Hunter Gatherer Culture when every tribe practiced shamanism. It was practiced widely in the UK until 2-3000 years ago.In recent times, a return of interest in shamanism in modern society was largely brought about by the work of Michael Harner an anthropologist studying cross cultural sha

mans in the 1960’s. He identified that you could take an indigenous shaman across the world to another indigenous tribe and that their practice would be almost identical. Michael Harner adapted shamanic practice so that it could fit into any environment including the modern western world. Shamans consider the entire universe to be alive and interconnected. A shamanic practitioner facilitates healing by “journeying” to shamanic realities to work with their guides to request healing & advice on the client’s behalf. What is shamanic healing? Shamans believe that illness occurs for two main reasons: loss of power or soul loss. Power loss is caused by a loss of a sense of connection to nature and the spiritual world. Soul loss occurs because a part of us leaves as a result of traumatic physical or emotional event. Both soul loss and loss of power can leave us in a vulnerable state and open to intrusions which can further deplete us. Intrusions can take various forms, largely these are negative thought forms and beliefs, often from others, but they can also include addictions and addictive behaviours, toxins, toxic relationships etc...
Shamanic healing seeks to gently remove toxins and intrusions, restore power and lost soul parts to bring about a truly holistic healing of the mind, body and spirit. What is Soul Retrieval

Soul loss is when we lose a part of ourselves usually through some kind of trauma. Soul loss can occur for various reasons, such as physical or emotional trauma, bereavement, near death experiences. In some cases we may have sent part of ourselves away so that we could cope with our reality and in some cases we may have given a part of ourselves away in a relationship. We hear people say things like “when ............. died, I lost part of myself too”. It may not be a loss of a person, but a loss of a pet, or a job, business, home etc.. Is there a time when you could say, I have never felt well since..........? When I first heard the term soul retrieval, it instantly resonated with me and I knew I had to have one done. I have to say it was one of the most powerful healing experiences I have had.

In the stillness of nature, we remember what it means to simply be—free from the weight of the world, grounded in the present, and held by the earth. Liberated from the stresses of tomorrow, we are reminded of our oneness with the universe. Each flower, a blooming soul. Each constellation, a tapestry of destiny.

Let go of what was, and what will be. Your soul already knows what to do - be still and silent. Welcome your spirit home, and embrace the wonder and endurance of the natural world. We are all interconnected, in a world full of contrasts and layers. Our loved ones fly with us through love's reflection, nature's sister realm.

Nature is full of miracles, wisdom and strength. It is the source of all things. Adopt nature's pace. Live quietly in search of nature's next wondrous miracle. Surrender, trust, and let nature's simplicity guide you home to your soul.

Journey to Health - what is it all about?

Journeying is a skill 99.9% of your ancestors used to navigate their world. Living in deep relationship with the natural world they developed a close relationship with guides and allies to learn about their environment, heal themselves, find food, develop new skills.

How can it help you?

The bond I have developed with my guides has brought me into a far closer connection to the natural world, I could never be lonely. It has given me a valuable insight into my ancestral roots, and taught me countless healing tools and medicines readily available in our environment.

It’s not just about healing though. The guides you meet will have many skills unique to your needs at any given time. Developing the skill of journeying is great way to be better resourced in what let’s face it is a pretty challenging world these days.

Here's to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world.

They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible.

Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame. And then go.

Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us.

The Boab really is a fabulous tree. The essence of the tree is used to undo family patterns. The native peoples knew this and collected the flowers to surround a new born child. Privileged to be present at my grandsons birth, I put a few drops of Boab essence on his forehead immediately after his birth.

The baobab tree, commonly known as the “Tree of Life,” is indigenous to the African continent, as well as certain regions of Australia and Madagascar, and is capable of living for thousands of years. Its scientific name, Adansonia digitata, honors the French botanist Michel Adanson, who documented this remarkable tree in the 18th century.

Just spotted this film, on a similar theme to my last post. Western society has a 33% recovery rate from mental health crisis, it’s 66% in traditional societies. What are we missing here?
