One of the most commonly used Holistic Healing treatments for emotional and physical stress and illness is Shamanic Healing. Those who practice Shamanic Healing use healing energy (energy from the spiritual realm) to heal those who are ill. These healers use their spiritual helpers, which are often animals, angels or other spiritual forces.
The process has traditionally been seen as a mix of spirituality, magic and medicine, which slowly evolved into a tribal community many years ago. Shamanism has been around for thousands of years and is still practiced today. The faith behind this type of healing is based upon the belief everyone has a spirit that’s part of a greater whole and that the spirits have an effect on illness, disease and everything else in life. Many Shamans believe illness is a result of soul loss, negative energies or spiritual blockages.
In addition, Shamans can heal both the living and the nonliving. When working with deceased people, Shamans often perform a ceremony to help the deceased cross over to a more peaceful place of existence.
Shaman healers are believed to be born with magical specialties, which they use to heal others. They are believed to be born with the ability to community with the spiritual world, through trances. Most often, Shaman healers use lucid dreaming states (out-of-body experiences) in their healing practices. Often these trances are entered via ritual drumming, changing or via the use of hallucinogenic plants.
During a Shamanic trance, the body will respond by allowing the mind to be absorbed in and focused on a dominate idea, which cuts off the nervous system from sensory input via physical methods. Emotionally, the patient might feel a combination of intense emotions of anxiety, joy, fear, passion or other feelings. Lastly, the patient will have a better understanding of the experience and healing may take place.
Modern Shamanic Healing is still used today as a very popular alternative treatment for cancer, illness, depression and many other diseases and conditions. Those who are interested in engaging in a more natural way of restoring balance and harmony in their life often use Shamanic Healing.
