Shamanic Energy Medicine Amy has trained with a number of gifted shaman/medicine people including: Jose Luis Herrera, Betsy Berstrom, Alberto Villoldo and many others. Her energy healing sessions utilize a blend of these teachings and techniques for deep personal healing and awareness. Shamanic Energy Medicine Sessions are a powerful and deep level of healing work. It can help us to release long-standing issues and move forward on our path in life. A session typically lasts 90-120 minutes. A session may involve any of the following techniques: Illumination Process This is a powerful healing technique developed by Dr. Alberto Villoldo based on his training with the shaman from South America. It is drawn from the knowledge that we have a luminous energy field (LEF) that surrounds our physical body. Our luminous body carries with it imprints--like etchings or cuts-- from trauma throughout our lives. These imprints draw into our life the same type of events or people over and over again until we heal it. The Illumination Process helps to clear those imprints to bring about greater clarity and healing. It erases these imprints from the energy field and overwrites them with light, so they do not keep organizing our physical or psychological reality for us. Extraction and Cleansing When we hold heavy energies for a long time they will settle into our luminous energy field as denser forms. These energies may be intrusive energies such as envy, anger and guilt that can be sent from others or are self-inflicted. These energies may be from past wounds, past lives or present trauma. We will also cut ties that bind you to others to free up the pulls on our energy body from others. Chakra cleansing and rebalancing will be done so your body can regain its innate ability to heal itself. De-Coupling Fright or Flight Response When the body is in the ''fright or flight'' response we can waste huge amounts of our energy. This simple technique decouples this mechanism and helps the body to learn how to relax and come into balance. This is particularly helpful for people who feel stressed, burnt-out or hyperactive. Soul Retrieval Soul Retrieval is necessary when a person has experienced what is called soul loss; when an individual loses a part of his or her spiritual energy (e.g. ''I don't feel complete.'' or ''I feel like they took a part of me with them.'') The causes of soul loss are many, with most people experiencing some degree of soul loss in their lifetime or past incarnations. Soul loss is often associated with physical or sexual abuse, death of a loved one or severe or chronic illness. Repressed, forgotten and gaps in memory could also be an effect of soul loss. A Shamanic practitioner can assist a person with soul loss by journeying on their behalf to uncover how and when the separation occurred and to return the missing soul part, like a quanatum of energy, to the person. The gifts of Soul Retrieval are increased personal power, clarity of purpose and life direction, healing of physical injury and illness and a shift to a positive state of consciousness. Ceremony, Rites and Rituals At times in our lives when we are at transitions--moving from one stage of life to another-- whether it is loss or celebration, it is often helpful to honor it with ceremony. Indigenous cultures recognized the beauty and wisdom in this. Honoring that which has come before and that which is yet to come is a powerful way to enhance and empower these changes. The Despacho ceremony is a beautiful ceremony in which a prayer bundled representing all the gifts in our life and our prayers is made and offered up to the Creator.
