Awaken the Spirit Within

The ancient spiritual methodology of direct revelation for connecting to spiritual guidance in our lives. One of its most important techniques is the shamanic journey, which transports one through a change in consciousness, from ordinary reality into non-ordinary reality–the reality in which everything is alive spiritually.The shamanic journey allows one to part the veils between the seen and unseen worlds to access information and healing that can help awaken us and restore us to wholeness.
 

When working shamanically, one develops a relationship with particular spiritual allies, thus learning and remembering that we are more than our physical bodies, and that we are connected through time and space in this physical dimension.
 

Sandra Ingerman explains: “Shamanism teaches us that everything that exists is alive and has a spirit and that we are joined with the earth and all of life via our spiritual interconnectedness. Just as quantum physics describes a field of energy that connects all of life, shamans also speak of a web of life that connects everything. In modern culture, many of us feel a deep longing to experience our unity with this web of life and to heal our sense of isolation. When we travel to non-ordinary reality in our shamanic journeys, we learn how to communicate with the spirit of plants, animals, ancestors, as well as the spirit of the elements of earth, air, water, and fire. We can find spiritual allies who can work with us compassionately and powerfully to help reduce human suffering in the world and provide insight and meaning to the issues of our lives, enriching us immeasurably.”1
 

For the direct spiritual healing of others, shamanic practitioners use specific cross-cultural techniques modified by the teachings of the spirits with which one is working. Shamanic healing addresses the spiritual aspect of a physical or emotional problem, which may or may not result in direct physical or emotional changes.
