A personal approach rooted in Core Shamanism
My approach to shamanic healing is essentially rooted in Core Shamanism, a contemporary approach to shamanic practice that focuses on the universal elements found within many shamanic traditions, rather than attempting to reproduce the specific ceremonial practices of any one indigenous culture.
I have trained with Sandra Ingerman, one of the best-known practitioners of core shamanism, as well as learning from other teachers, over many years. I have continued to develop my own practice through experience, study and an ongoing relationship with Spirit, my guides and the spiritual traditions that inform my work.
For me, shamanic healing is not a fixed procedure. Every person is different, and every healing session is different.
Your healing session
I approach each session as a completely individual piece of work. Although there are particular tools and techniques that I may draw upon, I do not simply apply the same process to everyone who comes to me.
I intend to create a loving, respectful and safe energetic space in which the healing process can unfold.
Before beginning, I take time to centre myself and open to Spirit. I consciously step back from my own ego and personal expectations, allowing myself to become a channel through which the work can take place.
I do not claim personal ownership of the healing that occurs. I regard my abilities, knowledge and the various healing methods I work with as gifts, and I approach the work with humility and gratitude towards Spirit and the Divine.
Listening to the energy
Once we are ready to begin, I enter into an intuitive dialogue with your energy.
One of the first tools I may use is a pendulum, which allows me to dowse and explore different aspects of your energetic system. This can help me identify areas that may require particular attention during the session.
At times, I may also use a short card reading to clarify something that has arisen during the initial assessment. This is not something I automatically do in every session. It is simply another tool available to me when I feel it may provide useful insight.
There are also occasions when I feel that a shamanic journey is appropriate. When this happens, I will journey with a specific intention, seeking guidance and insight in relation to the work we are undertaking.
Working with your energetic system
I then look more closely at your energetic system, including the condition and activity of your chakras.
Through dowsing and intuitive awareness, I assess how your energy appears to be functioning at that particular time. This gives me another layer of information and helps me decide how best to proceed.
There is no predetermined list of energies that I use for everyone.
Instead, I draw upon a wide range of healing systems, energies, empowerments and energetic techniques that I have developed throughout my practice. Each has its own particular quality or energetic signature.
With the assistance of my own guides, and where appropriate through connection with your own spiritual support, I intuitively select the energies and techniques that appear most appropriate for you at that particular moment.
In this way, the session becomes a bespoke healing experience rather than a standard treatment.
Completing the healing
When the main healing work is complete, I return to your energetic system and recheck the chakras and other areas that have been highlighted during the session.
If necessary, I may carry out final adjustments, realignments or energetic work before bringing the session to a close.
I then take time to reflect upon the work that has taken place and prepare detailed written feedback, which I email to you following the session.
This feedback explains what I observed, the approaches and energies I worked with, and any insights that arose during the session. It gives you something you can return to afterwards, allowing you time to reflect upon your own experience without having to remember everything immediately.
A journey rather than a formula
Shamanic healing, as I practise it, is not about following a rigid formula or deciding in advance what another person needs.
It is about listening, observing, journeying, responding and allowing the work to unfold.
My role is not to impose a particular outcome, but to create the conditions in which the healing process can take place, working intuitively and respectfully with the person, their energy and the spiritual guidance available to us.
