Shamanic Techniques Therapy

The word “shamanism” freaks many people out. It is not as weird as it seems once you have more information about it.

The shamanic world is actually just the energetic world that we live in. It is the energies that effect us which we cannot clearly sense with our five senses.

It is addressed in this therapeutic setting through guided visualization. By changing something in this energetic world it can effect change in your physical reality.

“Soul retrieval” is a term that also freaks many out. Let me explain it. A person has energy that they are born with and carry throughout their life. When a traumatic event happens sometimes a bit of that energy stays at the time and place of the trauma. By using guided visualization we can go back and retrieve that bit of energy and return it to you. This may look like going back to a younger you and taking care of them, especially if you were not properly taken care of during the original trauma. Then you bring that part of you to the present and away from the time and place of the trauma. This makes you energetically more complete. It also gives you a completely different perspective of the original trauma because you are no longer in it.

Many people talk about their “guardian angel,” or how it feels like perhaps a favorite aunt is watching over them even though she has long passed away, or how they can just feel things. In shamanism, this is referred to as “guides.” People mention these not because it is a fantasy but because it is their actual experience. The thought that we are being helped through life is a pretty nice one. In my experience I have been guided many times by unseen beings. Here is a story to demonstrate.

When I was about 6 or 7 my family was out shopping and then we went to pick up my sister at a football game. The game was not over when we arrived, so we stood outside the stadium near our car. All of a sudden my other sister who was with us started screaming at us to get in the car. The game wasn’t over so we didn’t understand but she was adamant so we did it. Even my father got in the car, and he rarely would do anything one of us told him too. As soon as we were in the car the building we were standing next to exploded. If we were still standing where we had been a minute earlier we would have all been injured. Luckily we were all safe. What made my sister do that? She said she just knew. What guided her? There were no physical clues or warnings that the building was going to explode. My sister following her guidance saved my family and made me very aware of the importance of listening on all levels.
