Shamanic Healing: What It Is and Why It Works

Shamans look at “health” as well-being and balance in the individual physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, communally, intimately, and personally. Shamanic healing works because the relationship between the shaman and the spirits enables the shaman to “see” the root of the dis-ease as it is manifest in the invisible world and attend to it there. In other words though your symptoms may be presenting physically your shamanic diagnosis is that you experienced soul loss at 7, which is the cause of lingering issues that block you from the community connections you need to truly live your soul’s purpose so you have settled for a job that allows you to avoid community, but lies far from your purpose. And that is making you sick. Shamanic remedies usually include the removal of energies or soul retrieval or other retrieval of energy. Ultimately shamanic healing is then performed through ritual (to create change) or ceremony (to realign with higher beliefs and values).
