Shamanic Treatments
Photograph with Donna Bernadina in Peru, July 2008 Western psychotherapy tends to teach small steps - don't deal with more than one thing at a time - don't try to change too much at once.
Shamanism says take everything at once - change the underlying energetic pattern, the underlying mythic map - let go of the stories and the way they bind you - step into a new way of being.
You can't change your mind and then contact your soul - you need to improve the relationship between your personality and your soul and then you will change your mind.
All shamanic work I do has the intent of empowering the client to heal themselves - to step into their own healing capabilities, which are inherent within.
As Alberto Villoldo is fond of saying 'We are here to learn to live like eagles, not like chickens.'
The techniques I use are those taught in the 'Healing the Light Body School'. They are based on the Peruvian Inka and Laika traditions. In these traditions, heavy energy may be imprinted on the luminous energy field around the chakras. The healing process uses a combination of ritual work with sacred stones, breathwork and holding of release points in the body to clear this heavy energy from the chakras and to remove the negative imprint from the energy field, repairing the wounded area with illuminating light. Once the imprint is erased, we no longer suffer from the wounds of our past.
Illuminations can help to clear deep wounds imprinted into your energy field. Often such wounds result in repeating patterns of physical or mental distress. Only by eliminating the scar from the energy field can the original trauma truly be released. Our conscious mind may be unaware of this trauma, as it may have happened many, many years ago, but that memory is carried in the unconscious mind, within our tissues and at the energetic levels, and continues to impact our lives until it is cleared from the energetic imprint and replaced with healing light.
The extraction process works with energies that do not belong to the client.
There are two types of extraction - an extraction of 'stuck' or crystallised energy, and an extraction of moving, liquid energy, representing an entity or elemental that has attached itself to your energy field, with or without your knowledge or permission. In the former I test your energy field with a pendulum to identify the site of the blockage, then we open the energy field and remove the blockage.In the latter I test for the presence of a fluid energy and we remove it from your energy field into a Vogel crystal with a very high vibration, before releasing the elemental or entity to the earth or the light.
Intrusive energies tend to work through affinities so after the extraction we work with an illumination to clear the affinity too, bringing in healing light in place of the previous heavy energy.
When something traumatic happens in our lives we often cut off/shut off a part of our soul in order to survive. At the same time we make a contract with life that will keep us safe.... However, this splintering of the soul leaves us incomplete. Soul retrieval aims to collect any parts of the soul we have left behind along the journey. We undertake a mythical journey to seek the original wound, the contract we made at that time and the part we left behind. We re-write that contract and negotiate with the lost soul part what it needs from us to be safe to re-enter our lives and help us towards completeness. We decide whether that is something that we can indeed give it at this time and whether we want it back in our lives. We visit the chamber of gifts and receive a gift and we ask for a power animal that will help us in our lives.
We then create a mythical map to help to re-integrate these energetic changes and gifts into the physical world we live in from day to day.
Soul retrieval is a two session process with the mythical mapping taking place in the second session.
Do you feel out of place in your family? Do you have 'unfinished business' with family members who have died? Do you feel constrained or bound by family history?
In this lineage work you pick three of your ancestors that you would like to work with. You choose three stones to represent them and you 'place' them around you in the energy field. You then step into each of their lives, one by one, to find out what they still need to say to you, and what gifts they have for you. You may then want to reorganise their positions in the field relative to you and each other, until the lineage is as it needs to be.
Once you have learned what gifts they have for you, to can choose whether or not to accept these, and then you release your ancestors in ceremony - honouring them and what the geneological lineage has given to you.
In modern transpersonal psychotherapy 'roles' are also known as 'sub-personalities.' What roles have you assigned to yourself in your live? What roles have others assigned to you, with or without your consent? Are all these roles pulling you in different directions, at war with each other?
This exercise identifies the roles, where they came from, how long they need to remain in our lives - and in many cases releases them. Once we move the roles aside, we are left with our true essence, our true self. We can then envisage various different destinies for this self and the transformation we can make in our lives if we choose - the person you are today is not the person you were yesterday or the person you will be tomorrow - everything is always in a state of constant change and we are able to transform our destiny if we so choose.
Role releasing is a two session process. In the first session we identify the roles and create a mythical map of them. In the second session we dis-identify with them as necessary, see how we feel about our essence when the roles are gone, and start to work with our potential destinies.
The Munay-ki rites were recently passed on to those outside the Laika community for the first time. Full information about these nine rites can be found on the Munay-ki website CLICK HERE. I give the nine rites individually, across three sessions. The first session lasts about 2 hours and includes a clearing illumination before we commence the rites. The second and third sessions last about one hour each, and include teaching you to pass on these rites if you wish to be able to do so. Further illuminations can be incorporated if you feel there are additional issues you wish to work with.
Are you at a point of major change in your life where you want to release your old beliefs and ties and way of being, to allow you to step into a new life? This could be brought about by a bereavement, a divorce, moving to a new country or any other major event. It requires having done a significant amount of personal work and energetic cleansing already as it is a very deep and profound process of surrender.
In it we recapitulate your life so far - where is there unfinished business, what needs to be said, where do we still hurt, what secrets do we keep (perhaps from ourselves!)? The shaman sits as your witness as you bring this heavy energy to the surface.
Then the shaman clears each of the seven chakras in turn, taking away the heavy energy from throughout the client's luminous body,re-balancing with white light, and finally, working through the chakras, bringing in a map of what the client wants to manifest in the future.
With word deconstruction, you choose a word that is holding you back in your life - it could be yes, no, your own name, mother, father, a role, a child, a responsibility, guilt, anger, shame .......
We then look at that word from four different perceptual states, the literal, the emotional, the soul level and the higher perspective. As you move through the perceptual states you change the 'reality' that you perceive and how you engage with that 'reality, thereby releasing the binding constraints that word puts on you.
If you or one of your loved ones is dying and you would like healing before the spirit transitions, and/or assistance in taking the spirit to the light, two stages of work are possible.
Ideally, the process starts when the client is still alive - conducting a review of this life's journey and anything that needs to be resolved or released before death - 'unfinished business'.This heavy energy can be released as slowly or as quickly as time allows.
Secondly, within 48 hours of death the luminous body can be assisted in its departure from the physical body. The traditional rites of the Catholic church were designed to trap the luminous body inside the physical body, the shamanic rites are designed to lock the chakras to ensure the luminous body cannot re-enter the physical. This process is possible even if the life review has not taken place.
'Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for having me and for the major clearing and healing you performed. My life has changed already. My perspective is different and I 'see' and hear 'spirit' much more clearly. I also feel more connected/interconnected with life and more derserving of happiness.My self esteem has increased hugely.'
'Thanks for yesterday - never what is expected - but I've been flying ...... good to have my wings back'
'Just to let you know again how amazing I found the Soul Retrieval, however my heightened awareness has brought up a longing to know more about the work!'
'I simply cannot tell you how much of a difference the healing appears to have made already! I would like to have further healing at some point but I simply can't thank you enough!'
'The entity has gone and all the paranoia that I had has just disappeared. It has made such a difference to my life. I would have paid anything for that change so £40 seems like nothing.'
