Breath of the Shaman
Shamanism
A shaman is “a man or a woman who enters an altered state of consciousness at will to contact and utilize an ordinarily hidden reality to acquire knowledge and power to help other persons and serve the community.” Michael Harner
Shamanism is an ancient healing tradition and a way of life, that dates back approximately 25,000 years.
A Shaman connects with the spirit world, nature, and all of creation. Shamanism is the method by which we as human beings can strengthen that natural connection.
I consider myself a Shamanic Practitioner which means I have trained in and utilize shamanic practices to heal myself and others. I do not call myself nor consider myself a Shaman. It is my belief that one is born into the title of Shaman through an indigenous tribe/culture.
Reiki
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". Reiki is "spiritually guided life force energy."
Reiki is a Japanese technique and is used for stress reduction, relaxation, and to promote healing by helping to put the body back into its natural state. Reiki is administered by "laying on hands" where an unseen "life force energy" flows through the practitioner and into the client.
A Reiki treatment may feel like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you or tingly sensations that make you feel "lighter".
Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind, and spirit.
Reiki also works with all other medical and therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
I often receive messages during a session. These can range from information about the body, to messages from spirit guides, angels, and loved ones. It is always the choice of the individual whether they would like me to deliver these messages.
Cord Cutting
Etheric (energy) cords connect to your energy body (aura, chakras, etc.). They extend out of you and connect with other people, places, animals and even objects.
How Do Etheric Cords Work?
An etheric cord is created when you interact with or think about another person. They can attach anywhere on your body and are a path for energetic information to be exchanged. Healthy etheric cords are essential for relationships and help us interact with our surroundings.
Etheric cords can also be harmful to you. This happens when what we are connected to no longer serves our highest good. The Etheric cord then becomes a pathway for negative energies, thought intrusions etc. A person can also cord to you without your awareness. It is good practice to learn about and become aware of your energetic body. This would enable you to be more aware of what you are allowing in your energetic field and can assist you in creating healthy relationships with others and yourself.
An etheric cord between loved ones is also a type of contract. When a relationship changes and becomes unhealthy a cord cutting can be done, allowing the contract to be broken and renegotiated.
How Do I know If I have an Unhealthy Cording?
Ways to know if you have an unhealthy cord:
-
You are unable to stop thinking of someone
-
Feeling drained when around certain people
-
Constant flow of negative thoughts and feelings
-
your relationship seems to have turned negative
Channeling & Mediumship
Mediumship is communicating with and receiving messages from loved ones that have passed away. These loving messages are often healing, always positive, loving and are most often validated through the information that comes through. Connecting with a loved one that has passed as well as messages from other types of entities, such as Angels, nature spirits, spirit guides, Power Animals, etc. are done through channeling.
channels messages come through are commonly called "The Four Clairs"
-
Clairvoyance – clear seeing
-
an inner seeing, sometimes like pictures or a movie in the mind
-
-
Clairsentience – clear feeling
-
the ability to receive intuitive messages via feelings, emotions, or physical sensations
-
-
Clairaudience – clear hearing
-
the ability to hear physical sounds no one else can or hearing "thoughts in the mind
-
-
Claircognizance – clear knowing
-
That "gut" feeling where a person just knows information
-
I am able to hear, see, feel, and know. Sometimes messages come through different channels depending on the entity or spirit I am communicating with. I always set the highest intention to only connect with loving and compassionate beings.
House & Land Clearing
Sometimes spirits or souls are caught in the “in-between” and need assistance crossing over. There are also times where the land or home can hold residual energy from traumatic events that have happened in or near a location. If odd or "paranormal" type events seem to be happening in or around your home and land a clearing may be necessary. Assisting a spirit in crossing over is the most compassionate thing that can be done.
It is always a good idea to do a house and land clearing when looking to purchase a home or property. A type of pre-check can be done before the purchase and a full clearing can be done after the purchase and before you move into/onto the home or land.
It is important to clear and balance the energy in your home to keep your space, family, and pets happy and healthy and to place a protective boundary around your home.
