Shamanic Healing

Shamans view illness holistically. They assess the health of a person by tracking their alignment of Mind, Body and Spirit. This Sacred Balance is essential for our health and relates not only to our internal health (relationship to self) but also to our external health (relationship to others and the world around us).

Rather than trying to cure a symptom, which is the tradition of western allopathic medicine, shamans look at the whole system and track the symptom to its source. Shamans believe that all illness has a spiritual origin, which is based in some trauma that the patient has experienced. The trauma energetically imprints that person and if left unhealed or untended can develop into a chronic emotional, mental or physical condition. Therefor, shamans heal the spiritual origins of illness, so the imprint of trauma no longer informs our reality or health and we can return to a state of Grace.

Cross culturally, most shamanic healing focuses on the following aspects: Power loss, Soul Loss, Intrusions, Spirit releasing, ancestral work, and in the Peruvian Q’ero tradition, energetic imprints in the luminous energy field.

The Luminous Energy Field 

It helps to understand the Luminous Energy Field. It is that essence or soul part of us that we all possess. It survives death and experiences infinity.

The Luminous Energy Field is shaped like a doughnut with a narrow axis or tunnel (called a torus). It is perceived as an aura of energy and light that surrounds and informs our physical body. Imagine you are enveloped by a translucent, multicolored bubble of light that extends about the width of your outstretched arms and down into the earth about a foot. Just above your skin streams of golden light shimmer and flow through the body's meridians. These energy meridians are similar to the circulatory system inside the body.

The Luminous Energy Field has four layers extending outward from the body: Causal (Spirit), Psychic (soul), Mental-emotional (mind) and Physical (body). In the outermost layer is the membrane or “skin.”     It serves as a defensive cocoon in the same way the skin does as a protective membrane of the body.

The Luminous Energy Field is a reservoir of  living energy as indispensable to our health as the oxygen and nutrients carried by the bloodstream. These energies are the purest and most precious fuel for life. When the vital reserves are depleted through illness, environmental pollutants, or stress, we suffer disease. We can ensure our health and vitality and extend our active, healthy years by replenishing this essential fuel.
