Time is suspended and you find yourself in a state of exuberance and gladness that is, yet, so serene.
ABOUT SHAMANISM
Shamanism finds a way for you to notice that little bit of magic that everyone looks for in their lives: the joy of throwing off your jacket in Spring because the sun is finally, again, all you need to warm yourself; the sensation that accompanies the inspiration for a painting; the pleasure you get from the smile that bursts from a child; the awe you feel in your heart and soul as you gaze up at the Milky Way. You are in a state of connectedness – to nature, to the Source, and to yourself. Shamanism is a means of entering that state at will.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Human beings of all cultures have practiced shamanism in one form or another since the beginning of time. Archeologists and anthropologists have found evidence on the markings of antlers and bones that date back at least 30,000 years. It is enjoying a resurgence in the present-day indigenous cultures of the Americas. Likewise, it is reemerging in Europe and Asia, and growing in the United States.
WHAT SHAMANISM OFFERS
~ When you have circumstances and relationships in your life that are not going well, shamanism gives you clarity on the situation and methods for making any needed changes.
~ When you have an issue in your life that repeats or continues, despite all your efforts, shamanism can help you get to the next level.
~ In times of difficult transition, like changing job or home, facing the empty nest, or a death in the family, calling on your personal totems and allies brings you strength and wisdom to handle what comes your way.
BLUEPRINT FOR A SHAMANIC GUIDANCE SESSION
After the initial phone contact, the first thing that happens is a dialog about your history and what is going on in your present life. Next, a sacred space is formally set up. During a session you sometimes learn meditations or techniques to make you effective in your area of concern. Other times you may receive healings. Almost always, depending upon the directive of Spirit, you will learn to “journey.” Journeying is one of the most commonly used practices of all shamanic traditions.

WHAT I PROVIDE AS A SHAMANIC GUIDE
I like the mood in the classroom to be relaxed and focused. This includes upholding confidentiality and respect toward all who are present. In a class such as Chakra Development, I specially designed exercises to help you get an actual physical sensation of the subtle energies of the Chakras. I make time for questions and answers. I provide you with hand-outs so that you can continue at home practicing what you have learned in class.The services I offer include a variety of journeys and healings to support you in dealing with life’s problems and challenges:
- Grounding
- Connecting with the Elements
- Employing the Four Directions
- Meeting your totem animals
- Identifying and retrieving your Soul
- Chakra development
- Messages from your angels and guides
- Hands-on healing
- Off-the-body energy work
I introduce you to the shamanic realm and put you in touch with your own unique guidance system. I teach you new skills and knowledge that you can apply toward the areas of your life you want to enhance or improve.
