Illumination Process
The Illumination process is a time honored foundation for Shamanic healing. Using both an individual’s luminous energy field and the seven major chakras (healing centers) of the body, this process works at a core level to lift and release heavy energies while infusing light and free flowing energy.

Each chakra is associated with different general core issues. This is where we hold our emotional, genetic and karmic histories, masticize our traumas, fears and hurts and experience loss of our true power and voice. This denseness can cause us to “disconnect” with ourselves, others and our spiritual faiths. It can cause us to become physically and/or psychologically ill.

The Illumination is a gentle and guided clearing process. Afterwards, clients report they feel either wonderfully energized and motivated or went home and had the best nights sleep they have enjoyed in a long while. How does it work? A client brings a specific issue, whether physical or emotional in nature. The client is then “tracked” (energetically evaluated). A determination is made as to which chakra is the most compromised by the presenting issue and the cleansing takes place. 

For any client without a specific concern but who is simply interested in lifting and removing old “baggage” the tracking and illumination process is also effective. After all, no one lives life without experiencing “stuff”! This cleansing works even on the non-believer as it is not a belief based healing.

Each session is extremely individualized and the exact process depends on the specifics of what we find within a client’s chakra. Lifting these layers of dense energies is much like peeling an onion and everyone’s experience is unique. At no time, in any process, do we ever proceed without appropriate permission from the client.

Afterward, an “integration” period occurs in which subtle (and not so subtle) shifts will be noted. Therefore, we will advise a period of time (determined by individual need) between sessions.


Soul Retrieval
Our soul or “essence” is a delicate energy that nurtures and energizes us. However, physical trauma and/or emotional fright can cause pieces to break off and “flee”. This is known as the self’s “coping mechanism” in crisis. The result is a loss of vitality, feelings of being ungrounded or even unlovable and an inability to be comfortable and fully “at home” in ourselves.

Sometimes a “triggering” event is brutal, such as divorce, molestation, accident or surgery. It can also occur subtly such as hurt feelings, shock, substance abuse, an injustice or a vulnerable moment. Symptoms can include lethargy, a disconnected or “spacy” feeling, feelings of apathy or hopelessness, fatigue, lack of motivation or direction and memory loss. It is not unusual for an adult to be missing many soul pieces of varying ages.

In recovering the pieces of ones essential self, the Shaman journeys on a client’s behalf to non-ordinary realms. We find these lost soul pieces buried deep in the subconscious. The piece is recovered, lovingly brought back and integrated and the echo of the “triggering event” is rewritten. Beautiful gifts and a personal power animal will also be recoverable. Each time a piece is retrieved the client becomes more “whole”. Clients feel this in increased energy, enthusiam, contentment, vibrancy, and yes, simple fun! 

This is a beautiful process for a client and involves a self-realization and integration period afterward. 

Extractions
Extraction is a safe and effective method of removing energies that block our energy circulation and can manifest in physical discomfort. There are several different types of extractions and several things we track for in a client.

Ever feel “stabbed in the back”? Take those feelings seriously. These are the energetic “thrusts” of dense energy that can be sensed or “seen” as solid objects. We call these “crystallized energies”. They are often found in chronic pain sites such as sore shoulders, headaches, sciatica nerve-like pain, lower back or joint aches and can cause pain, numbness or tingling. Surgery sites are usual locations as well. Sometimes we hold these energies from a past karmic source. Removal can bring great relief that is generally immediate.

Another form of extraction is non-integrated energy within the body. These are more parasitic in nature. These dense energies (or sometimes entities) are often situated near a chakra (energy center) and essentially “feed” off your energy. They can also be mobile, moving throughout the body. This often makes traditional western medicine diagnosis of pain conditions impossible. General symptoms of such energies include arthritic-like pain, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, pain that moves erratically throughout the body, stomach and G.I. tract difficulties, migraines and viral infection symptoms. Many clients find this ancient Shamanic practice to be a miraculous instant shift for themselves and loved ones.

People with large or multiple non-integrated energies are often diagnosed by traditional methodologies with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, schizophrenia, ADHD, Epstein Barr and chronic depression (to name a few). Our extraction process is very complementary in nature with traditional treatments. Traditional treatments should be continued or discontinued under the advice of your attending professional (who may be very surprised at how quickly and completely you suddenly heal!)

Please note: This process is typically done in a tribal (or communal) setting, allowing for more than one Shaman. While this process can be done in person safely and effectively by a single Shaman, we generally prefer to work together on an extraction client and will arrange a time with the client when we are both available. For this process to be done remotely (long distance), two Shamans are required.
