Shamanic Healing
Shamanic healing is a spiritual and medical practice based upon the belief that all healing includes
a spiritual dimension. Shamanic medicine is a tradition dating back 25000 years. To better
understand how a shamanic healing works it is important to understand some of the fundamental
concepts of what shamanism is. It is a specific set of methodologies for accessing the spirit or
energy field of anything or anyone. The essential perspective of shamanism is:
1. Everything is alive. Everything has spirit and awareness.
2. Energy and matter are the same. Everything is vibration. Everything that exists is an energy
system within a greater energy system.
3. Everything that exists is connected to everything else in a web of energy or life.
4. Unseen/inner/spiritual reality affects visible reality.
Working within this system of perceptions, the healer strives to create balance and harmony of the
spirit. This is a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance and can be focused on the
individual or the community. This also can be applied to anything that exists.
By using shamanic practices a wide spectrum of healing is possible. Shamanic healing takes place
in many forms, depending on what spirits recommend. This can include plant, herb and mineral
spirit medicine, the use of song and other instruments to move and transform energy, visualization,
soul retrieval, extraction, hands on massage or physical body manipulation. The shamanic
practitioner understands the necessity to use both nature and spirit in healing and that true
healing is whole and complete: body, mind and spirit.- from the website of Jose Stevens Ph.D. &

Once in his life a man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth, I believe. He ought to give himself up to a particular landscape in his experience, to look at it from as many angles as he can, to wonder about it, to dwell upon it. He ought to imagine that he touches it with his hands at every season and listen to the sounds that are made upon it. He ought to imagine the creatures that are there and all the faintest motions in the wind. He ought to recollect the glare of noon and all the colors of the dawn and dusk (MMW 99)
