What is Somatic Shamanism?

“We are Spiritual Beings having a human experience”

With this experience comes all the pain and tension into our physical body. A somatic approach recognizes that each body pattern is an outward manifestation of deeper mental and emotional aspects of a person. A somatic therapist views the body as a malleable form that is always in flux, whose given postures and moveme

nts styles outwardly express an inner kaleidoscope of thoughts and feelings. Conversely, inner conflicts and unresolved psychological and physical issues manifest in chronic pain in the muscle. Regardless of whether pain is physical or emotional, skeletal muscles reflexively contract around pain. Chronic contractions create muscular imbalances that restrict motion, leading to postural problems and underling chronic pain. Body awareness is the primary tool for change. One needs to be able to feel a body pattern before it can be changed. During massage, the practitioner’s touch helps a client become more aware of their body. The client then becomes attuned with their body during day-to-day activities, which helps to heal and eliminate issues than can become chronic over time. Spiritual work and mediation enhance and improve the energy flowing through us. When we know that is energy that is manifesting as our physical life, we begin to master our own inner state. This leads to a better well-being and deeper healing that unites our mind, body and spirit as one. Through proper and dedicated practice we learn how to be less affected by the outer world and how to maintain inner balance. When mind, body and spirit are operating in prakruti (optimum homeostasis) dependence on medication and rugs reduces automatically. Somatic Shamanism is intuitive session utilizing different modalities of massage and energy work to help the client achieve optimum health.

The Dedication

Hidden in the Shadows of ancient Oaks
In the forests of our minds
Darkness prevails…. Paths are lost…..

To easy to hold the hand of the one in front
Blindly follow and never see……

Very few break free to wonder the woods alone
Searching for what they can not see
But know they need…….

Looking behind every tree
Staring boldly into the darkness
With intense curiosity…….

The light seeps in
What once was dark takes pattern

Symbols and forms are now so clear
Enlightenment starts to appear.

With every step taken the path widens
The trees thin and the sun streams in….

The awakening will now begin

The slow drum beat that I have followed
Loudly grows and mystically blends
With others of the same cosmic origin….

The trees open to a Glade
The rhythm becomes a dance
The dance becomes the life
More and More will join the dance

The glade will become a field
The light will flow and grow
Pulsating down once unlit paths
Lighting the way for others to see…..

The time has come
And the dance has begun……

Celtic, Native American and several African tribes have ceremonies that are very similar. They all honor the change of seasons. All respect the coming of age, they follow the moon and have ceremonies under her. Each has their own incense or herb they use for burning. All 3 believe that life must include nature and they all place great importance on animals. With so many similarities, doesn’t it make sense that this truly is a small world and we are all related.

All the eggs a woman will ever carry form in her ovaries while she is a four-month-old fetus in the womb of her mother.
This means our cellular life as an egg begins
in the womb of our grandmother.
Each of us spent five months in our
grandmother’s womb, and she in turn
formed in the womb of her grandmother.
We vibrate to the rhythm of our mother’s blood before she herself is born, and this pulse is the thread of blood that runs all the way back through the grandmothers to the first mother.

"Hokahey" is a man's exclamation in Sioux, similar to the American expressions "Let's do it!" or "Let's roll!" The reason people think it means "it's a good day to die" is that the Lakota Sioux leader Crazy Horse famously exhorted his troops "Hokahey, today is a good day to die!"
