"Seen symbolically, our life crisis tell us that we need to break free of beliefs that no longer serve our personal development. These points at which we must choose to change or to stagnate are our greatest challenges."
Caroline Myss ~ Anatomy of the Spirit

Luminous Healing - It is believed that every experience, every emotion, and every thought creates an energetic imprint in our luminous body. These are the blueprints that hold the key to our healing.

Illumination - This shamanic process allows us to access the energetic blueprint through the chakra system to release the imprints of our wounds for transformation and healing. This releases the energy that has been bound up in our past, making it available to us in the present.

Dense Energy Removal - In some instances the energy of a wound may become so concentrated that it can cause physical pain, although it does not necessarily create any identifiable physical changes.

Entity Energy Extraction - It is also possible for heavy energy to be imposed on someone, frequently as a child, when they had insufficient power to protect themselves from a dominating adult. The child carries this energy as they grow up causing them to perceive the world and all of their experiences through a filter that does not belong to them. In order for them to perceive and live their own life with clarity and intent, this filter must be removed.

Soul Loss/Soul Retrieval - Soul loss occurs during times of crisis or trauma, such as illness, abuse, war, surgery and accidents. It is a survival technique where the part of us that is unable to cope with the traumatic event leaves and becomes unavailable to us, much the way a child witnessing an argument between the parents will go and hide in a closet. Unfortunately this departure leaves us with a wound, frequently felt as an emptiness, a loss, and this energetic part of us is no longer available to us in the present. It is stuck, lost or hiding in the past, in the wound, buried in the unconscious. It is the task of the practitioner to engage in the ancient art of shamanic journeying, traveling into the domain of the shadow and recovering the lost part of the essential self on behalf of the client, healing the wound and bringing the energy back into the present so that is again available to the client. In the Andean tradition this technique is known as the 4-Chambered Soul Retrieval.

4-Chambered Soul Retrieval

Chamber of the Wound - In this first chamber, the shaman seeks the source of the wound, not just in its most recent manifestation, but its origin. This is often where the lost soul part is found.

Chamber Contracts & Agreements - The second chamber holds the information that binds the client in unconscious agreements, determining how the wound manifests in their life.

Chamber of Passion - It is in this chamber that the shaman discovers the driving force in the client’s life, the purpose that seeks expression.

Chamber of Gifts & Treasures - The last chamber holds the treasure hidden beyond the shadow, the place that reveals the gifts, the responsibilities and the possibilities the client has brought to this life.

Power Animal - The final task in a soul retrieval is to ask for a power animal who will assist the client in their transition from their old way of being, to grow into who they are becoming.

"...if we haven't chosen consciously as a person of power, then we will choose unconsciously as a powerless person."
Alberto Villoldo

YOUR INVESTMENT

Your investment is a reflection of your willingness to honor this work and is in direct relationship with your willingness to honor your own healing.

Please consider the following:

* This work is not like receiving a massage, a chiropractic adjustment or psychotherapy, which require regularly scheduled sessions, frequently on a weekly basis. This is an energetic healing experience that takes place at the soul level and does not require ongoing sessions to be effective.

* Other healing modalities are priced on a scale that assumes that you will be participating on a regular basis over an extended period of time.

* One shamanic healing session will raise issues, heal wounds, initiate changes and create integration challenges that can keep you in process for several weeks or possibly months. You will not want or need to do it often.

* Developing the capacity to perform this type of healing has required hundreds of hours of training, intensive personal work, and the investment of many thousands of dollars. I feel I must honor my own efforts and the dedication of my teachers by respecting the value of this work. Fees are charged accordingly.

Long distance sessions are also available in most situations. This is possible because I am working with the energetic body rather than the physical body, therefore your physical body need not be present in order to do a session. It is possible, with your permission, to call in your energetic body and do a healing session even if your physical body is somewhere else. I do require a phone consultation prior to doing a long distance session. The investment is the same as an in person session and does include a
tape of the verbal report given following a healing session.

Cash, Checks, Money Orders, Visa and M/C are accepted. Long distance sessions must be prepaid or paid by credit card.

Please contact Ancient Pathways for a schedule of fees and services.
