shamanic healing

WHAT DO I MEAN BY SHAMANIC HEALING?

I work on an energetic level. I believe we are all part of an energetic field, a consciousness, that includes all people, all of nature, time past, time future and beings in other realms such as spirits or angelic beings. 

I consider that as we go through the life we have chosen as humans this time round, we may bring baggage from previous lives, and accumulate more bumps in the road and gifts along the way. Shamanic healing seeks to restore us to wholeness so we can feel and be our best selves.

“I have so much food for thought now, I have really valued our session”

“Thank you so much for the soul healing – it gave me clarity and a deeper understanding of my situation in multi-dimensional space. Catherine has genuine connection and commitment to holding space for whatever come sin the journey”

“Thank you, Catherine, for your beautiful presence and wisdom”

WHEN IS SHAMANIC HEALING USEFUL?

Sometimes an accident or tragedy causes unprocessed soul loss. Anything that causes trauma such as grief or heartbreak or a shock might induce this.

In cultures where shamans are normal and accepted (many indigenous cultures and older civilisations) these trauma-inducing events would be treated quickly by the shaman and cause less long term harm. However in modern culture it is more common to stuff our feelings down, or be confused by them, leaving the residue stuck in our physical and energetic body, manifesting sometimes as ailments and sometimes as emotional challenges such as depression or anxiety. 

Additionally soul loss can occur when we deliberately give away a piece of ourselves to another (it feels like an act of love and commitment, and is encouraged by popular storytelling genres, but actually serves nobody) or we may take a piece of another person’s soul – either when they offer it or because we cannot let them go. 

Shamans believe that to live in peace, and later to die well, we need to sort out these entanglements with others’ souls, as well as recovering any of our own lost soul parts, so we can regain our own sovereignty. 

I work with clients looking for this return to wholeness. Sometimes because they are grieving the death of a person, or the loss of a relationship / dream / job / home country. Sometimes because they just feel off-centre or that they have lost their mojo. 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Usually one 60-90min session is enough.

I work either with the person in front of me or remotely. It doesn’t seem to affect the way the session goes if we are physically together or not. This is especially helpful if the person I will work with is already deceased. In either case we would both know when the session is going to take place and all the client is required to do is lie on a mat on the floor in a place where they won’t be disturbed or observed during the session. There is no physical contact during the session.

I start by meditating to enter a trance state, call on my spirit guides and follow their guidance as to the most useful things to be done. I usually play shamanic music and may vocalise or use a rattle or drum. During the session the client – or the representation of their body if they are deceased – only has to relax, give themselves over to the process. They often drift off which is fine too.

At the end of the session I will share what has happened during the journey. I usually record that part so clients can listen later at their leisure.
