Are you at a turning point in your life, but are not sure which path to choose? Have you always felt you had a special calling, but have not been sure what it is?  Have you experienced loss?  Do you feel out of balance? Shamanic healing is a powerful tool for transformation and harnessing the power of who you truly are.

Experience the energy medicine practiced by Rachel Mann, PhD, adapted from a number of indigenous healing traditions around the world.  Shamanism is a healing modality and way of living in harmony within oneself and with the world around us.  Its roots reach back into the most ancient human societies on Earth.  Shamanism is now found in many Native cultures worldwide and in new healing and spiritual movements in the West.

Shamanic healing is not yet a clinically proven form of treatment.  However, it can be an excellent adjunct to the tools of western medicine, psychology and psychiatry. It can support and deepen the positive benefits of medications to treat PTSD. depression, bi-polar disorder, ADHD, ADD, and other mental illnesses as defined by the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM IV.  With the express permission of the client, shamanic healing can be used to complement a clinical treatment plan.

Setting clear intention:

First, we talk together about what challenges, patterns and issues are showing up most strongly in your life.  What would you like to do differently?  What would you like to change? 

Selecting a helping stone:

Then you choose a stone from the medicine bundle to be be an ally in the process of healing. You blow the emotions, physical sensations, and intention into the stone 3 times.  After this, all you need to do is to relax and breathe rhythmically as heavy energies are removed from your Light Body (LB).  The LB is the aura that surrounds and interpenetrates the physical body. It holds imprints from our past, our family of origin, ancestral legacy, and our soul’s code. It also contains the potentiality of the future.

Testing your Light Body:

The ally stone, now infused with your energy and intention, is used to test which energy centers or chakras are most affected by the issue. It is then placed on the lowest affected energy center.

Clearing the Light Body and Installing New imprints:

Using the energies of hands, sound (rattling, drumming, singing, whistling), incense, and visualization to clear heavy energyand old wounds from the LB, to retrieve lost soul parts and rewrite old soul contracts. I then anchor new and more positive imprints into the LB.

Personal Growth

flowerAre you looking for a different way to deepen knowledge of yourself and to meet challenges in your life? Do you feel as if life is filled with conflict and pain and little joy? Every minute of every day is ripe with possibility for change and growth. In personal growth work, we are supporting the body, mind, emotions, and spirit to move through change and tension with ease and to find the enduring source of healing within ourselves.

Healing Trauma

flowerAre you caught in patterns of trauma in your life? Do you struggle with insomnia? Are your family, social and work relationships marred by constant conflict and stress?  Have you experienced a major trauma in your life such as child abuse, sexual and domestic violence, war, or accident?  Are you depressed?  Do you have major health issues that negatively impact the quality of your life and even threaten your life? Are you in chronic physical and emotional pain?  Do you struggle with addiction of any kind–food, alcohol, drugs, or any other compulsive behavior? The healing practices of shaman are particularly well-suited to grapple with these sometimes intractable problems.

Spiritual Discovery

flowerAre you adrift in your spiritual life? Do you feel a call, but are not sure where to look for an anchor? Have you felt betrayed or dissatisfied by the religious or spiritual beliefs of your family of origin? Do violence and suffering seem to be the only reality around you? Are you experiencing a “dark night of the soul” marked by a yearning to tap into something greater? Such times are ripe for spiritual discovery and a profound healing of body, mind, emotions, and spirit. In spiritual discovery work, I facilitate your journey towards tapping into the sources of inspiration and connection feeding you, however they may appear in your life.

Compassion Fatigue

Compassion fatigue is one of many terms used to describe how we may suffer from burnout or develop vicarious trauma from working with and supporting others who suffer. Over time, we may end up developing symptoms of depression, chronic sadness, insomnia, and a radically changed and more pessimistic view of life from being in contact with others’ traumas. The world may begin to look bleak and we may not be able to feel the simple joy of living. MettaKnowledge for Peace offers support to those who work with all in need–whether emergency personnel, nurses, animal welfare workers, or others.

Animal Companions

flowerMany of us live with animal companions—dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles of various sorts—or we simply connect strongly with all beings living and breathing in the natural world. Yet despite the number of people who live with pets or have a strong connection to Nature, we often feel as if we must hide the importance of these relationships in our lives. Or when our animals companions are ill or have died, we feel as if we must act as if everything is “OK” even though we are in pain or struggling. Or perhaps we are feeling a great deal of tension and pain in our relationships with our animal companions due to their difficult or unpleasant habits. MettaKnowledge for Peace knows that all relationship is an opportunity to grow and uncover spiritual sustenance. I support you in wonderful and journey of relationship with animals and the natural world.
