Shamanic Process
Shamanic Process is an integral, relational and inclusive
way of living, and by that definition, spiritual and not
religious. We live in a holographic universe in which we are
connected and interconnected at pan-dimensional levels, the
Shamanic life is one by which we appreciate, relate and
journey at those levels.
The Shamanic ritual can be considered a metaphor for
psychological process, and yet at a deeper and more profound
level it is also the sacramental expression of the
meta-physical and soul connection.
We incarnate and take our physical form and we use this form
to experience the joy and pain of the world and to fulfil a
chosen destiny. This incarnation remains linked and united
to our spiritual being and origin.
At times our incarnate selves 'loses the plot' and becomes
distracted or lost and our spiritual connection gets
'interference' or becomes 'disconnected'. This
'disconnection' can be a result of physical, emotional,
mental or spiritual trauma. Our soul being fractures and
those fractured parts or essences, disaffiliate, becoming
lost or exiled from us.
At this point our lives can become seemingly pointless or
without direction and we wander from physical experience to
physical experience searching for connection and meaning.
And all the while our spirit, our soul is calling and
searching for us, yearning for return.
And such is the microcosm of our hunger and thirst for the
Divine. Reconnection and witness to our sacramental truth is
the essence of Shamanic Process.
The process utilises:
Soul Retrieval
- reconnection to that which is lost & exiled
Past life regression
- linking to the 'un-done' in our spiritual history
De-possession
- redemption of primal wounds
Psycho-pomp
- a calling to our spiritual service
De-armouring
- breaking free from useless barriers
Medicine touch
spirit healing
Vision Quest
- re-connecting to our spiritual guides and our spiritual
destiny
The Six Shamanic Principles
Recognising that we are
each a spirit with a body, mind and soul, not each
separately. Our spirit is in essence who and what we are; it
is the essential 'I'; the experience, the singer of the
song. Our spirit is our Greater self, not the mortal self,
the more than, the sojourner.
Establishing contact
with the spirit within, our own spirit, which is the source
of personal empowerment and creativity. Not relying or
depending on some external power or authority.
Realising that
everything is alive. Animals, trees, rocks, oceans &
mountains, the earth and stars, each has an 'aliveness' that
may be a different experience from our own, but nevertheless
living. This will open our eyes to our way of being with all
around us.
Accepting that there
are inner zones of reality which affect and regulate what we
experience outwardly. Within these zones are helpers and
guides to enable our own change.
Everything external is
a reflection of an internal process or journey that is
calling for attention.
The source sings a song
that our spirit is drawn to there is but one song though
many tunes.
