SHAMANIC HEALING

What is Core Shamanism?

Core Shamanism is based on commonly shared practices of shamanism found worldwide in a variety of cultures. This shamanic approach also draws on journeying as a method to inform the practitioners. Core Shamanism does not identify with any one lineage or cultural path of Shamanism, but rather draws on like qualities found in many traditions around the world. Michael Harner was the original founder of what is known as Core Shamanism. After extensive research and practice with shamanic practitioners around the globe, he honed in on time-honored shamanic practices he saw practiced again and again in different cultures worldwide and has brought them forth in Core Shamanism.

Sacred Dream Shamanic Healing- Initial Session

An initial session typically lasts 75-90 minutes, depending on what the helping spirits indicate that the client needs. This session includes discussion time at the start when the client can share more of what they need/want with the shamanic practitioner, the healing session and integration time at the end when the practitioner and client can unpack what arose in the session. The shamanic practices used will be determined at the session, based upon guidance from the shamanic practitioner’s helping spirits. Available online (Zoom), phone or in-person.

75-90 min – Sliding Scale: $100- $150 (please pay what is comfortable for you in this range).

Follow-Up Sessions

Following an initial session, the client may wish to return for further healing or may feel called to check in periodically. Sometimes the shamanic practitioner will indicate when the helping spirits suggested an additional session after the initial one. Follow-up sessions may build off the initial session or may explore other healing an individual needs. Online, phone or in-person available. During a follow-up session additional healing practices may be incorporated if the client wishes, including elements from Yoga (breath work, movement, mantra), meditation practices, Ayurvedic healing techniques, life coaching and more.

Shamanic Healing Sessions can support a person in various ways:

  • clearing negative energies or thought patterns one may have picked up and or simply what no longer serves an individual

  • clearing sickness and imbalances from the body, mind or heart

  • increasing one’s wholeness and vitality through soul retrieval

  • empowering one’s life-force energy through retrieving soul parts that have separated due to challenging life circumstances or trauma

  • nourishing one’s personal power (energy) through the retrieval of a power animal (an animal ally in the spirit world)

  • supporting an individual to find guidance on questions in their life through divination

  • making sure those who have passed have moved on to a compassionate place

What does a shamanic healing session typically look like?

A client is invited to share their reason for wanting a session. Aiyana, the shamanic practitioner, will then ask the client for their permission to journey on their behalf to see if she can be of healing service to the client and what healing work is recommended. Once the journey is complete Aiyana will follow up to set up an appointment. In-person appointments are preferred, but for non-local clients or if one does not wish to meet in-person, online (Zoom) or phone sessions are available.  In the case of distance or a lack of mobility other arrangements can be made. Initial sessions typically last 75-90 min, varying on what arises during the session (see rates below).

Shamanic healing feels akin to energy work in many ways as it works on clearing blockages (energetically, emotionally, physically, etc) through extraction work and empowering a client through power animal retrievals and soul retrievals. Aiyana uses rattles, drumming and sometimes other sound like chanting/toning to support the healing process. After some discussion time at the beginning of the session, the client is invited to lie down and rest/relax while the healing is being performed. After the healing is complete, there is time to discuss and digest the session through further dialogue.

Payment is due at the time of service.
