Spirit Medicine

Recover Lost Energy

In Spirit Medicine, the shamanic practitioner relaxes her focus on the material world to allow her self to perceive a world of subtle energy. She then invites a transpersonal force, which may appear as an angel, a deity, animal or elemental spirit, to doing healing work on behalf of her client. Whatever the practitioner perceives during such an intervention has symbolic significance. For example, the practitioner might perceive a peacock eating “bugs” as a way of focusing the client’s immune system on devouring illness-causing viruses or bacteria.

A particularly well-known and powerful technique of Spirit Medicine is Soul Retrieval. In a Soul Retrieval, the practitioner brings back a part of a person’s soul which may have split off during a particularly traumatic event. This reunion of a person with part of his/her essential life essence often has a significant positive affect on health. Additionally, the recipient often reports feeling more integrated and his/her life begins to “come together” in wonderful way.
