ABOUT THE WIRED SHAMAN

The partnership between shamanic practitioners and their benevolent spirits remains sacred in Core Shamanism. Asking our helping spirits for assistance with the pure desire to help ease the pain and suffering of others causes amazing power and healing to be exchanged from them through us to others.

In a time when the internet facilitates many of our exchanges, it makes sense for me as a shamanic practitioner to include it in my Shamanic Toolkit because I can use it to pass along the messages I receive from my helping spirits to help others find their path to universal energy and healing. Interestingly, the internet was created by scientists around the world who were studying particle physics in order to exchange vast amounts of data quickly.

The internet allows me to traverse great distances in mere seconds to connect with clients.  It affords clients the opportunity to book sessions, regardless of where they are physically located. Many people prefer to experience their Shamanic session in the privacy and comfort of their own home. Distance healing sessions are very powerful. Nothing is lost; the connection during distance healing sessions is instant and strong. Many times clients say they can feel or sense my presence in the room with them. Geographic distance is a non-issue to the helping spirits and the natural world.

The natural world is a wondrous place that often shows that the confines of the human world do not exist for elements in Nature. Consider, for example, the fascinating science of how trees communicate. They’ve been described by one researcher as “relational miracles all their own,” constantly communicating with one another through chemical signals dispatched along the fungal networks that live in their roots – an invisible, astonishing underworld only recently discovered. That’s more interesting still when you consider the importance of nature to shamanism. Clients usually find that their connection to Nature and the natural world strengthens as a result of their Shamanic sessions.

While no special settings, tools, rituals or ceremonies are needed to practise shamanism, my ‘shamanic toolkit’ for a session may include therapies that complement and support my work to aid the body’s own ability to heal. Those therapies include the following:   

Aromatherapy: This complementary therapy uses genuine essential oils made from essences found in the flowers, leaves, roots, peel, resin, seeds and bark of some plants to improve both physical, emotional and spiritual well-being. Lavender and chamomile, for example, can help relax people who feels anxious or stressed. Aromatherapy has been a trusted practice among cultures across the world for thousands of years. 

Crystal healing: This complementary therapy involves the application of crystals and/or gemstones on or around the body to facilitate healing.  Each crystal has different energies. Rose quartz, for example, is known as the ‘love crystal’ and is commonly used for attracting and keeping love and to heal your heart from disappointment and pain. Desert rose can be used to access past and future lives. 

Healing touch: This is an energy therapy that uses gentle hand techniques to help restore the patient’s energy system and accelerate healing of the body, mind and spirit. It’s based on understanding that human beings are fields of energy that are in constant interaction with others and the environment. 

Reiki: Often referred to as ‘energy healing,’ reiki involves the transfer of universal energy from the practitioner’s palms to a client, whose own energy may have stagnated in the body due to physical injury or emotional pain. By directing the flow of energy, the reiki practitioner helps a client maintain or return to energetic balance, so they achieve physical, emotional and spiritual health. Reiki can also help to facilitate positive energy at an event.
