What Is Shamanic Healing?
Shamanic healing helps upgrading the quality of the luminous energy field (LEF). Also known as a halo or aura, this energy matrix surrounds all living beings and organizes the body the same way that iron filings are organized by a magnet on a piece of glass.
The LEF contains information about our genetic histories, the illnesses and psychological dramas that run in our families and determine how we will heal, age, and even how we will die. This information is encoded in the form of imprints that are stored in the field. When we upgrade the quality of the LEF by clearing the imprints of trauma and disease, we create the energetic conditions for health – and disease goes away. This is the foundation of Shamanic Energy Medicine: To create health and heal traumas old beliefs system.

What Happens During a Shamanic Healing Session
A shamanic healing session has three main parts: preparation, shamanic journey, and after-journey (return).
A typical healing session can take place inside or outdoors ,or virtual in a quiet, safe, and relaxing environment. It’s a ‘sacred space’ dedicated to opening, releasing, and healing.
Open conversation with a shaman
The session starts with an open discussion between you and the shaman about your history and current state of things in a safe, nurturing space, where you can be as transparent as possible. This preparation part alone can reap numerous benefits as you are encouraged to be entirely about your background and present challenges and dig deep to go beyond your habitual narratives.
It can bring about greater self-awareness and resolution of old emotional traumas. So the more open you are, the bigger your healing potential is.
Energy work
This is the beginning of the ceremonial work where the shaman prepares your system for the journey.
As you lie on your back, the shaman assesses your energy centers (usually found along the seven chakras of the body) to release any stagnant or foreign energy.
This energy work is healing in itself as it clears and balances your vital energy centers. If any of these centers are blocked, it can manifest as a physical ailment or disease. So when the blockages are removed, it restores your energy flow and improves vitality.
