Traditionally, shamans have always worked in community to bring wisdom, knowledge, and healing to their tribe or village. In our modern society it comes to us differently. Surgery is group healing, as are, in some ways Health Clinics because a group of people are involved in the healing of an individual and family and friends are encouraged to be present, but often family and friends are not involved which, traditionally, is an important piece. However, shamanic healing is done in ceremony, which brings in the Sacred and other elements from the invisible or eternal world that aid in the healing of an individual. Shamanic healing works on the spiritual/emotional/mental level of illness and does not necessarily mean that there will be a change on the physical level though there can be. Though The Four Winds supports individual healers we wish to offer group ceremonial healing as well because sometimes it is only through group ceremony that healing can take place.
TYPES OF HEALING: Sometimes the lines are blurred and there are no clear distinctions between the different types of healing methods. One problem may require several different methods of healing, and one type of healing may take care of a multitude of problems. Each person is unique and, so, each healing is unique.
Ceremony to Restore Power: All people have guardian spirits to watch over and protect them. It is believed that at the birth of a child, a guardian spirit, usually in the shape of an animal, volunteers to be with the child. If one does not, or it leaves, the child will not survive. These are called Power Animals/Spirits because they bring us power and vitality. Without them we become de-vitalized, disempowered, and sick. In this ceremony the lost power is restored.
Group Ceremonial Healing: We meet regularly to offer ceremonial healing. Because it requires a group of trained people, most of who are graduates of the Golden Heart Mystery School Spiritual Warrior Training Program, and the use of tools and items, which can be costly, we require a minimum donation of $100 though people in need will not be turned away. All of our healers volunteer their services. We also require that you participate and take an active role in your healing. Before you can attend the healing ceremony there are preparations that you must do that will take about one month to complete. You cannot just show up for a healing. There are different types of shamanic healing and the type of healing that you need will be determined ahead of time.
Soul Retrieval: For many different reasons, there are times in our lives when, in order to survive, an essence or piece of us walks away. This pure essence of ourselves is then lost to us, in it’s purest sense. We are no longer connected to it and we suffer from the loss of energy and communion with it. We become fractured and not all there. We are no longer whole. In this ceremony, those lost pieces are brought back home to the Self.
Shamanic Extraction/Curse Unraveling: Spiritual/energetic intrusions occur when energy that does not belong to the body or person, enters and fills in the empty places that are created by Soul or Power Animal loss and a variety of other reasons. These include curses and thoughts that are purposefully or inadvertently sent to a person to cause them problems or to wish them ill. In this ceremony the unwanted energy is removed.
Spiritual Clearing/Curse Unraveling: Whether you believe in spirits or not, they do exist and can cause problems. There are many ways a spirit can become attached to a living person, animal, place, building, land, river, forest, country, etc. All things, all beings can suffer from an unwanted spirit attachment. We use the method of compassionate caring to assist the spirits to their true home and to remove energy that does not belong to the person or place. Often curses can be associated with unwanted spirit attachment.
Psychopomp: An ancient, world-wide method of assisting earth bound and suffering spirits on their journey of transition from physical life to the after-life.
Not all types of problems or healings can be categorized. The best we can say is that we look in on the spiritual level or cause of the person’s problems and, in partnership with our helping spirits, we discover what needs to be done. These healings are always done with love and compassion, they are healings of the Heart.
