Hello All!
I received this letter today. I love knowing that those I work with are deeply affected by the medicine I carry.
He is an amazing Shaman. As time has passed, I became interested in Shamanism. This sparked from my longing for alternative forms of healing. I was very disappointed with Western Medicine when it came to treating physical and mental illness. I have witnessed many people die from cancer. The modern practices used to treat cancer left patients with little prospects. It is pretty alarming that our modern healers use poison to treat cancer. Either there is malicious infiltration somewhere during medical advancement or society has forgotten/discarded knowledge that would have led to real healing by this point. I also have first hand experience with what we label today as “mental illness.” Growing up with a schizophrenic mother was a real challenge. It was equally disappointing to see how medical doctors treated patients with psychological disorders. From my perspective doctors form of treatment involved numbing and physically debilitating patients with strong psychiatric drugs. The drugs would suppress the mind of these individuals and create varias types of physical side affects. It seemed like once a patient started one drug, they would need another to treat the side effects caused by the former. This way of treating patients had a domino affect that would keep people on 4-6 drugs daily for their condition. It’s apparent the approach only partially addresses symptoms and not the problem. In addition, this way of treating patients ignores any spiritual component or even emotional….which often seems like the culprit. Mental illnesses often start from trauma experienced throughout life. I am not saying there are not genetic dispositions…but in the case of nature vs nurture…..the latter has a severe effect on how we cope with life. I think approaching mental/emotional illnesses as a result of a “chemical imbalance” is ignorant.
My family comes from Peru. Spirituality in the heart of Peru is no where near conventional. Peruvians practice shamanism. Diving into the deepest parts of the psyche, collective consciousness, and ancestral energy to understand the “who, where, what, when, and why”. Shamans do not look at cause and effect as a physical consequence and not solely as an environmental one. Shamans peer into the timeless realms that exist beyond our understanding of the universe. I decided to follow my ancestry for true answers and real solutions. My parter was also seeking healing from unconventional sources. I can’t say I did not have an influence on his choice, given my partner was raised in Catholic faith. After witnessing my journey, his own, and listening to me constantly question the standard, my parter sought and found Anthony.
Just from the first session I was convinced. Anthony put my parter in a transient state and was able to understand the past, present, ancestry, spirit, and unique gifts my parter had/experienced. The entire experience and healing session was energetic, deeply felt, and entirely accurate. How can someone peer into your being by praying and slightly laying hands on your chakras? My partner explained the entire session to me in detail. I listened in awe and wrote it down. After this, I was determined to experience the wonder!
My first healing session with Anthony was instantly peaceful and very sweet. It healed me physically, emotionally, and spiritually from an energetic frequency. This was the type of healing I had been in search of. At the start, he was very kind and asked me why I came to see him. I told him about my emotional issues and discontentment with work. He was very empathetic and wise. Before starting the session, he explained the process and then asked more about how I feel…I am guessing to get some understanding of my current frequency. He then took me to a room where I was to lie down so he could perform the healing session. He prayed and then started at my root chakra. It was incredible, instantly my knees unlocked and I was in a transient state. Right away he asked me if I was Peruvian because one of his Incan/Peruvian spirit guides showed up. He proceeded to work around me focusing on each chakra. I am a very hyper person and it’s hard for me to be still for a long period of time, but during Anthony’s session’s I was in a still peaceful healing type of meditation. As he worked on me he would share the spirits or spirit animals that showed up. He told me that I understand hidden or deep knowledge and that I was not sure where it came from. This was very true, my whole life I have been longing or in search of some deeper truth than what I’ve seen in the world. He also told me that I myself am a shaman. It was so reassuring because the read he gave me was entirely different than my partner, but just as powerful. I had several other sessions with Anthony and each time they have been very healing, revealing my essence, relieving what was affecting me at the moment, and informative from spirits and ancestors that guide me. What I also find incredibly impressive is Anthony does not use psychedelics such as Pe**te, San Pedro, and Ayuhausca like other traditional Shamans. He can accessed the realm on his own, with his gifts. It’s a blessing to receive healing from Anthony. He has helped other people that are close to me and again his revelations are incredible. I can say so much more. Anthony has a real gift and true passion for his work. We need more healers in this existence like him.
