Soul retrieval:If we do not live in alignment with our true nature, or if we suffer shock or trauma, we can lose a part of our soul. A Shamanic practitioner can perform a Shamanic journey to find and bring back that soul part and safely return it to the client as part of a Shamanic healing. It is important that this happens, as Shamanic practitioners believe that the space left when that soul part is lost can become filled by illness, depression, addictions and negative energies. When the soul part is returned the client can often experience positive benefits, such as feeling more themselves, more empowered and positive and more emotionally balanced.
Power Animal retrieval:A power animal is a spirit guide that can support the client, by providing them with a specific ‘gift’ or ‘power’ that will help them in their everyday life. For example, someone with low self-esteem may need a power animal which brings confidence or courage. The Shamanic Practitioner will embark on a journey to find this power animal and bring it back to the client.
Compassionate de-possession or ‘spirit’ release:The phenomenon of a spirit inhabiting another person’s body is a lot more common than people think. A spirit who has been unable to successfully cross over to the other side can enter a human body to live off their life force. This can happen for many reasons e.g. they died suddenly in an accident and had no time to prepare themselves or they may be so attached to someone they don’t want to leave them. Sometimes they do not even realise that they are in a human body. This form of secondary existence is not beneficial either for the inhabiting spirit or for the person whose body they inhabit. For the host, it can cause confusion, changes in personality, tastes and preferences, anxiety, dark or negative thoughts, confusion and even physical symptoms. To perform a spirit release, the practitioner uses an interview technique to compassionately dialogue with the spirit and to gently move it on to where it needs to be. The practitioner then provides a healing session to the client and offers suggestions for aftercare. Symptoms of possession may include uncharacteristic negative self -talk, sudden anxiety or depression, physical issues for which no cause can be found, a sudden desire to drink more or take drugs, sudden changes in sexual preferences and personal tastes, a period of extreme bad luck, character changes or even a physical or emotional reaction when reading about this.
Unravelling of karmic patterns, ancestral patterns and ‘curses’:This involves the identification and unravelling of any karmic or ancestral patterns or curses, which may be negatively influencing your life often without you even being aware of them. One example of this is when, over generations, a family consistently holds the belief that they will remain in poverty. An example of a more complex and intentional curse may involve someone deliberately wishing ill on a person or family line, for example intending that they never have a day of happiness in their lives. Curses can be extremely toxic and need to be dealt with extremely carefully. A Shamanic practitioner will seek to identify and unravel any patterns or curses that are affecting a client’s ability to live their best lives.
