Why Shamanic Energy Medicine?

Wisdom Teachings Connected to Nature
My Shamanic lineage school was brought into being by Alberto Villoldo who studied with the Q’ero Shamans of the Andes in South America for 35 years. The message Alberto was given by the Q’ero Elders themselves (after dedicating his life to this work many years ago) was that he, with their help & permission, needed to bring these teachings to the West. It was only when the people of the West understood the ways of the Ancients: the need to deeply love & care for Mother Earth (Pachamama), as well as, have the ability to truly love Ourselves (& find peace with one another), could She, and we all, be healed.
Together, their work to bring these sacred teachings to light & to so many people all over the world is a tremendous gift! Graduating from The Four Winds Light Body School was an incredible & absolutely life changing, healing experience for me. One I am so grateful for. The Shamans’ mission is spreading… It is happening & it is profound: ‘Transforming the World One Healer at a Time.’ I am honored to share this work with clients and to help do my small part to make this dream of greater wholeness & wellness a reality.
Shamanic Energy Medicine is a type of holistic healing which works directly on our Energetic Body, commonly referred to as the Aura or Luminous Energy Field (LEF). Shamans (as well as other spiritual teachers, like Yogi’s or Taoist practitioners, for example) believe we are made up of body, mind, & Soul, and that we are ALL connected to Spirit, or All that Is. We all have chakras (running thru our central channel/Sushumna) & an energy field which surrounds our physical body, all of which, can inform us about how we live, our karmic imprints, the wounds we carry, and how we can heal.
Our wounds can be from traumatic experiences in this life, inherited from our ancestors, or even carried forward from our previous incarnations (past lives). Usually it is all of the above.
Essentially, all energy medicine practitioners believe that at the core of each human being exists a Spiritual being. In order for healing to occur, we must acknowledge our spiritual nature and understand that we are all here to learn and grow from ALL the experiences of our lives. It is when we discover the teachings in our life experiences, that we can then integrate those lessons & transform our pain into healing. Our lessons become our greatest gifts! From this place of transformative healing, we can truly embrace & then release our Story, & begin to follow our inner dreams & longings, sharing ourselves more authentically with others along the way. We experience a sort of medicinal Soul Alchemy…
We become more Self actualized, healthy, & alive.
From this place of greater embodiment, we can begin truly dreaming our world into being, as Alberto and the Shamans like to say…
We become healthy co-creators with the Universe.
