Shamanic Counselling

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
Teilhard de Chardin

Traditionally of old, a good Shaman would use whatever tools and knowledge were available to him to assist him in his work. Such is my aim in Shamanic counselling.

The basis of my work is my experience and knowledge of counselling, but alongside side that, as appropriate, we may use Astrology and Shamanic healing to assist the process and to aid you in gaining more understanding, healing and empowerment. The sessions may also have a teaching element included where my own knowledge and experience is shared.

The sessions can be powerful and it may be that some basic counselling is needed before entering this process.

Shamanism

“This we know. All things are connected. Like the blood which unites one family, all things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth, befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life. He is merely a strand on it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself.”
Chief Seattle

Shamanism is one of the oldest forms of spirituality on the planet and the roots of many of today’s religions can be found in shamanism. Shamanism can be found across the globe and the similarities in this spiritual practice connect all peoples and cultures. Today, through quantum physics, there is a growing awareness that the shamanic world view can be evidenced. All is interconnected through a web of life and the perception of reality is dependent on the individual.

The Shamans were the medicine men and women of the tribe, the seers, the healers and the mystics. They communicated with the land and the spirits to bring healing, food and wisdom to their people. They also had an incredible understanding of the human psyche and health and that knowledge and understanding is as valid today as it was for our ancestors.

I use the ancient tools of Shamanism to facilitate healing and growth and bring personal empowerment. In both my Shamanic and Astrological sessions I incorporate my counselling skills, knowledge and experience, drawing on both ancient and modern techniques and understandings to facilitate personal growth

For as long as I can remember it is to the Earth and Nature I have turned for solace and from that evolved my interest in Shamanism

Shamanic Healing

I can offer my clients any of the following.

Soul Retrieval:

At times of stress, trauma or illness parts of our soul can leave and go to a safe place (in psychological terms this is known as disassociation). Sometimes these soul parts do not return and can leave us feeling depleted, prone to illness and feeling disempowered. Through Soul Retrieval these soul parts can be returned, allowing us to grow into our full potential. Indications of soul loss (taken from Sandra Ingerman’s “Soul Retrieval”)

• Difficulty in staying ‘present’ in your body
• Feelings of numbness, apathy or feeling deadened
• Chronic depression
• Problems with the immune system and resisting illness
• Chronic illness as a child
• Gaps in memory of life after age of 5 years – sense of having blocked out significant traumas in your life
• Addictions including alcohol, drugs, food, sex & gambling
• Difficulty in moving on with life after a divorce or death of a loved one
• Multiple personality syndrome

Sound Healing:

Through the power of the voice, blockages can be cleared and the bodies energy centres recharged and realigned, allowing us to feel more at peace and able to cope better with the demands of our lives.

I am also able to offer the following:

Journeying to other realities to collect information on the required healing and the necessary healing where appropriate. This could be

• returning power
• returning relevant soul parts
• extraction of negative energy
• information on past lives

Each session takes one hour and costs £40.

I am available to teach the technique of Journeying, which enables contact with Spirit Guides and Power Animals. This tool can enable an individual to gain information for their own growth and healing. Individual or group sessions can be arranged.
