Healing Services & Ceremony
Promoting Balance & Harmony
Shamanism teaches us that everything that exists is alive and has a spirit. Shamanism and ecology both talk about a richly complex web of life through which all species, all beings are interconnected. We are a part of all things and all things are a part of us. Shamanic practitioners walk in both realities—the natural world and the spiritual world—to help promote balance and harmony for all beings and for the planet. Shamanic healing is inclusive of all spiritual and religious traditions. Shamanic healing can be a complement to western medicine practices and other holistic therapies.

Shamanic Healing Session
From the shamanic perspective, illness is caused by a loss of life force. Shamanic healing addresses the origins of this power loss and releases the energetic imprint of the trauma so it no longer feeds the illness or imbalance. It then restores a client’s life force and provides guidance for integration of the healing, allowing the client to return to a state of balance and wholeness. Clients are also empowered by connecting them to their power spirits and guides and to the natural world.

Shamanic R&R: Realign and Restore
Clear, strengthen and revitalize your energy—physically, emotionally and spiritually. During this 50-minute session, you’ll relax on a heated massage table, listening to soothing music. Hands-on and hands-off energy modalities are used to clear blocked energies. The session may include the use of crystals, stones, feathers and other gifts from Nature for healing. Through a journey, the spirits will guide whatever healing is needed to strengthen you. And then the amazing vibrations of the drum will revitalize and enliven you.

Space & Land Clearing
Houses, buildings and land can harbor the energies of past traumas and spiritual entities. Memories and emotions, as well people’s energetic imprints, can get stuck in houses. A clearing ceremony moves out and brings healing to unwanted energies and spirits. Then blessings are called in to the home.
Land clearing ceremonies release past traumas and bring healing to the spirits and to all beings living on the land.
$90/hour and $45/hour for travel. Time involved depends on size of house/property. 1.5 – 2 hours on average

Ceremonies
The Stone People’s sweat lodge ceremony provides you with an opportunity to pray for yourself, for other people, for your community, for the earth, for all your relations.
The change of seasons is a powerful time for ceremony, healing, dreaming and celebration.
What is Shamanic Healing?
The shamanic view of healing is holistic, taking into account physical, emotional and spiritual dimensions of a person. Shamanic healing seeks to bring the client into a state of wholeness by addressing the spiritual and energetic origins of illness.
From the shamanic perspective, illness is caused by a loss of life force. This can occur through power loss, soul loss, energetic intrusion, spiritual intrusion, ancestral issues and past life issues. Typically there is a combination of causes for a person’s illness or imbalance.
Shamanic healing addresses the origins of this power loss and releases the energetic imprint of the trauma so it no longer feeds the illness or imbalance. It then restores a client’s life force and provides guidance for integration of the healing, allowing the client to return to a state of balance and wholeness. Clients are also empowered by connecting them to their power spirits and guides and to the natural world.
Through a shift in consciousness, shamanic practitioners enter “non-ordinary” reality to request healing and guidance from the spirit world. They act as hollow bone, a conduit to the energetic and spiritual realms, so the healing can come through for the client. Practitioners access this shift in consciousness through journeying.
Shamanic practitioners journey with the assistance of rattles or drums. The sound and vibration facilitate the shift into the deeper states of consciousness necessary to access the healing energies and guidance from spirit.
What Can Shamanic Healing Address?
Any illness may have a significant underlying spiritual or energetic issue, regardless of the form the illness takes—physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
Mental and emotional illnesses are more likely to have a spiritual component that may respond to shamanic healing techniques. They include, but are not limited to: depression, PTSD, trauma (rape, abuse, bullying, shame), addiction, anxiety, panic attacks, thoughts of suicide, self-harm, bipolar, multiple personalities.
Physical illnesses can have spiritual or ancestral origins or can be exacerbated by energetic or spiritual issues that arise due to the physical illness.
Spiritual/Energetic Concerns People who are highly sensitive to energies are often told there is something wrong with them, when, in fact, they have gifts and abilities that they need to learn how to use. Some indications are hearing voices, seeing/sensing spirits, taking on other people’s energy, knowing things before they happen, chronic nightmares.
Ways We Lose Life Force
Power Loss
There are many ways we lose or give away our power: negative beliefs we carry about ourselves, imbalances in relationships, feeling cursed, being disconnected from the natural world, being disconnected from God/Goddess/Creator, our spiritual guides and allies. Shamanic healing helps us reconnect to our sources of power, clear negative energy connections, curses and beliefs and restore vital life force.
Soul Loss
When we experience trauma, illness, or significant change in our lives, there can be a part of our vital essence that hides or disassociates in order to survive the pain. This is called soul loss. Sometimes these soul parts aren’t able to reconnect once the trauma is past. Soul retrieval is a shamanic process that brings these soul parts back and integrates them, returning the client to a state of wholeness.
Energetic Intrusion
Energetic intrusions are caused by unresolved emotions, such as anger or grief, which we have taken into our bodies in response to hurt or have received as a projection from someone else. An intrusion can also begin from chronic self-abuse and negative self-talk or from a physical injury. Intrusions can be extracted through shamanic healing.
Ancestral Issues
Unresolved issues in our ancestral lineage can cause illness and unhappiness in current time. Shamanic healing can bring healing to these patterns and release the client from their influence.
Past Life Issues
Unresolved patterns and relationships from past lives can cause illness and unhappiness in current time. Shamanic healing can bring healing to these patterns and release the client from their influence.
Spiritual Attachments
Spirits who have not crossed over into the light can attach themselves to people and/or negatively impact them. A spirit release (compassionate depossession) ceremony brings healing to these spirits, helps them cross over and brings healing to the client.
