Shamanism is not a system of belief or faith; it is a system of experiential
knowledge. The use of shamanic journeying is one of the paths to gain direct experiential
knowledge. Experiential knowledge can be defined as that which is experienced first hand
by the senses. It is a way to a deeper understanding of events and influences surrounding a
situation or person. One of the most important roles of the shaman has been to seek
revelatory knowledge from visionary sources, which may be for healing purposes, “why has
this person become ill?”, “what medicine does this person need?
Shamanism allows a practitioner to journey and move outside of linear time to go to the
place of trauma where the loss of power or intrusion has occurred and is still occurring for
that individual, find and bring back that person's power which is held in that energetic
event, and when this has been carried out, then the therapeutic healing of the event can
begin.
The classical shamanic journey is one of the most profound visionary methods of obtaining
hidden knowledge and wisdom. It is a powerful way to facilitate self-transformation, and
personal empowerment. From a shamanic perspective one of the two main causes of
illness, is a loss of power and the other an 'intrusion' of an invasive external force within
our field of energy.
The loss of power is known as soul-loss, and this can take place when we suffer a trauma,
have an accident, experience strong emotional exchanges with a loved one, separation from
a partner, death of a loved one, go through an extended period of difficult circumstances.
When we undergo a severe trauma typically a part of our soul goes away, so that we can
survive what ever is happening to us. It is a way for the body and consciousness to survive
severe trauma. Problems develop when the soul part or fragment does not return. It may
not want to come back, or may not be able to return due to the nature of the trauma.
There are a number of symptoms of soul-loss, for example, when people feel that they are
observing life as an outsider, rather than engaging and being fully involved. Other common
symptoms are when people feel that they are being ‘spaced’ out a lot of the time, not really
here. Other symptoms that indicate possible soul loss are life-themes such as a pervasive
fear, inability to trust people, not feeling whole or complete. I have also found that a severe
depression can also be a symptom of soul loss. Chronic illness may also be a symptom of
soul loss.
Shamanic practices of journeying, being a method allowing one to step into 'non-ordinary
reality' to find the source of - and the solution to - challenges, problems and difficulties,
bringing about personal empowerment, wisdom and healing is a way to bring back the
power that has been lost bringing you back to a place of healing and wholeness.
Some of the shamanic journeys we use are:
- Power Animal Retrieval is a journey to recover power animals that aid in
keeping a person healthy, secure, and confident. Power animals are believed to be
the guardians of the soul and often offer much guidance and wisdom based on their
own animal medicine.
- Soul Retrieval is a journey to recover parts of the soul that have left due to
traumas (physical or psychological, usually due to accidents, abuse or other
traumatic experiences). The soul part is recovered and returned to the mind, body
and soul to bring you back into wholeness, balance and complete power.
- Organ Part Retrieval is similar to the Soul Retrieval journey, it is to recover
organs of the body that may have been wounded or removed as part of surgery.
Although the physical organ, bone or tissue cannot be replaced, the spirit of that
which is lost can be brought back to bring the body back into wholeness.
- Wisdom and Problem Solving is a journey that seeks to find resolutions to
problems, provide insight into what is going on within you, many times deep wisdom is revealed
from these journeys in the form of symbols and guidance. These journeys can be to the Soul's
Home, past lives, past or future events of this lifetime. These journeys are a way to find
information to help you gain further awareness of who you are.
- Extractions is a journey to go deep within to remove any entity or intrusion of energy that
is not of your greatest good. Many times these manifest as irrational fears, anger, rage, things
that are holding you back from living your life to its fullest.
- Guided Journey is a journey where you will be guided to find the information you are
seeking about a problem, a way for you to travel through time and space to receive wisdom,
guidance and healing. Guided journeys are a special and unique to each situation and each
person - no one journey is ever the same. And we are with you every step of the way to provide
support and guidance on your adventure into your soul. These journeys can be to anywhere
needed, some exampes are to the Soul's Home, past lives, past or future events of this lifetime,
the Akashic records. These journeys are a way to find information to help you gain further
awareness of who you are.
