What is Shamanism  

In the Shamanic view of the world, all things are inter-connected in a web of beginnings, everything affects everything else. The Shamanic way is the way to honour all kingdoms mineral, plant, animal and human, to honour the four elements earth, air, fire and water, to honour and develop the four aspects of ourselves, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. With the celebrations of the seasons we attune ourselves to the flow of the Wyrd the energy of life. Shamans whom we in the civilized world have called medicine men and witch doctors are the keeper of ancient techniques that they used to achieve and maintain well-being and healing of their community and themselves.

What is a Shaman 

In Shamanism the maintenance of ones personal power is fundamental to well-being. The Shaman must stay centred and balanced this is achieved by remaining rooted in personal connection to the earth, from this earth connection the Shaman is then able to reach into the spirit. In this way, the Shaman becomes a channel between the energies of the earth, nature and the energies of the spirit world.

In engaging in the Shamanic practice the Shaman moves between what is termed the ordinary state of consciousness and the Shamanic state of consciousness. It is in the Shamanic state of consciousness that one contacts guides. The Shaman depends on a special form of personal power, which is usually supplied by his guardian, helper or power animal, a spiritual being that not only protects and serves the Shaman but becomes another identity or alter ego. Without a guardian, helper or power animal it is virtually impossible to be a Shaman, for the Shaman must have this strong basic power source.

Do You Want To Healed ? 

For every individual, the shamanic healing process is a unique journey into personal history, present need and future aspirations. Therefore a confidential consultation is undertaken before healing techniques are defined and mutually agreed.   

I believe that shamanic healing is a beneficial force for growth and change. It deepens awareness of both the causes of problems within one's life and the path forward to greater well-being and wholeness. It is a means of activating one's own inner healing abilities. I see it as a profound means to self-empowerment.

Shamanic healing works by unblocking stuck energies, restoring flow, and returns power and energy to their rightful places. Power retrieval restores part of the client’s personal power in the form of their power animal, which they have lost their connection to; and soul retrieval returns soul essence; whilst extraction and depossession healings remove and transmute what belongs elsewhere.

This way of healing brings potential for profound change, and should only be undertaken if you are open to allowing change to happen, to complete the healing. It can help any dis-ease or problem, and often helps when a person just feels ‘stuck’. Guidance can also be obtained on issues such as careers, relationships, etc.

A healing session begins with a discussion of your needs. Using The Padmic System™ Raymond implements many great Shamanic techniques that can be found from around the world. He may journey using the drum beat, to work with guides and animal allies or the implementation of Futhark Runes  for your healing. Other techniques include energy healing incorporating the use of sound; this is a powerful way to shift blockages in the energy system; guided journeying, regression, and the incorporation of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki. In some cases, you may learn the technique of journeying, in a safe setting where Raymond can drum for you to do your own, guided, journey.

Extra support sessions are available if necessary and longer term shamanic counseling is an option for situations requiring guidance and support over a period of time.
