It is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces that affect the lives of the living.<br /><br /><br />A shaman is someone who acts as an intermediary between the natural and spirit world, who travels between worlds in a trance state. Once in the spirit world, the shaman communicates with the spirits for assistance in healing.<br /><br /><br />While there are many variations in shamanism throughout the world, there are some beliefs that are shared by all forms of shamanism:<br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><ul><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">The spirits can play important roles in our lives</span></li><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">The shaman can control and/or cooperate with the spirits for the community's benefit</span></li><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Shamans use various techniques to enter the trance state such as meditating and drumming</span></li><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Animals play an important role, acting as omens and message-bearers</span></li><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">The shaman's spirit leaves their body and enters the spirit world to accomplish a task</span></li><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">The shaman can treat illness</span></li><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><li><span style="font-size:130%;">Shamans are healers</span></li></ul><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The following is an explanation of some of the Shamanic practices that I offer.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"><em>Soul Retrievals:<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Through different <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">traumas</span> suffered in life, the essence in your soul becomes lost. During a soul retrieval the shaman journeys to retrieve <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">the</span> lost fragments and return these "soul pieces" to the body, creating wholeness. This enables the person to move past the old hurts and find peace and healing.<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"><em>Journeying:<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Only a shaman can teach you how to journey safely. Journeying is entering an alternate reality to find answers to life's questions. You are guided by your Spirit Animals to your Spirit Guides who will help you find the answers that you seek.<br /></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"><em>Finding Your Spirit Animal:<br /></em></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Everyone is born with a Spirit Animal. A shaman can help you find that Spirit Animal to guide you and protect you during journeying.<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#33cc00;">Psychopomp:<br /></span></em><br />The shaman opens a portal and provides assistance for souls who have never gone to the light. This is a very powerful service that I can provide.<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#33cc00;">Helping The Terminally Ill Pass Over:<br /></span></em><br />A rite of passage, a change or shift, opening a door. Shamans are "light brokers". We help those who are dying cross over into the light.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#33cc00;"><em>Dismemberment:</em></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">This is not what you think!! Dismemberment is a process of cleansing the body, part by part, in order to feel renewed and ready to face the world.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/695837657356331510-541324276140005127?l=shamanredmond.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Lilla Redmondhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03111631819022081841noreply@blogger.com0
