SHAMANIC BODY TRANCE HEALING
The shaman, in an altered state of consciousness, resides in a space of Soul Awareness where ceremony is performed for healing on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Rather than focusing on the personality of the ego mind, we expand to the realm of Soul Awareness, where we are whole and unlimited potential. The physical body then resonates to create greater balance with spirit. During the session, the ego is able to move into an adjusted form, allowing a rekindling of energy that results in more vibrant health and rejuvenation.

Soul Retrival is an ancient shamanic tradition that teaches that through traumatic experience we split off to withdraw to a safer place. This protects us from feeling the full brunt of the pain, and we thus learn to survive. In soul retrieval the shaman will journey to mend the fragmented self, helping others bring themselves back to their bodies, the earth, and home again.

SHAMANIC HEALING
Shamanism is nearly a world-wide phenomenon, appearing in places as geographically diverse as Australia, Africa, Asia and North and South America. Shaman's are consulted by people from all walks of life, for healing, divination and as intermediaries with the spirit world. Indeed, shamanism is the "Doorway to the transpersonal" awareness Because it is not an organized religion as such, but rather a spiritual practice, shamanism cuts across all faith and creed, reaching deep levels of ancestral memory. As a primal belief system, which precedes established religion it has its own universal symbolism and cosmology, inhabited by beings, gods and totems, who display similar characteristics, (although they appear in various forms, depending on their places of origin). (Michael Harner) defines shamanism as a technique of ecstasy" achieving an altered state of consciousness, which he calls the "shamanic state of consciousness" or "ecstasy".

There are many techniques a shaman may use during a healing session...from extraction, divination, spirit invocation, psychopomp and soul retrieval. The shaman will travel in an altered state of consciousness to determine the cause of the problem. Through ritual it is the shaman's intent to restore wholeness to body, mind, spirit and soul. The shaman is a mediator between the realms to bring heaven and earth, spirit and human-kind together.

"Shamans transmit to their people in sign, song and dance the nature of the cosmic geography, that has been revealed to them in the process of initiation, trances and soul journey. Map-makers and myth-dancers, shamans live internally in a multi-dimensional realm continuous with so-called ordinary reality." Joan Halifax..."Shamanic Voices"
