Sandra Ingerman – Shamanic Journeying for Guidance and Healing 2017

In this session, Sandra will lead an opening meditation to welcome in and start to activate the power of the community of participants gathering together to perform shamanic work. She’ll introduce you to the shamanic journey and how the helping spirits in the invisible realms can provide guidance and healing in your life.

Every change you go through in life involves a death. In shamanism, death is not seen as an end but as a transition. The transitions you go through are actually initiations or rites of passage that lead us into new stages of life.

For the shaman, these rites of passage are what led to acquiring the gift to heal and be a visionary for the community. Through these initiations, they experienced a sculpting of what is on the surface of the ego and personality so that the depth of their spirit could shine through. As most of us do not go through formal initiations, we find that life brings us experiences that inspire, transformation and evolve us.

During this session, you’ll:

Discover how shamans view the “little deaths” we go through in life as well as the big death, as we transcend at the end of our lives

Experience a journey that includes disintegration, illumination, re-membering, re-construction and re-emergence to help you dissolve your sense of separation from Source and the creative forces of the universe

Explore the topic of initiation and how important formal initiations are to mental and physical health as well as to the younger generation

Understand the importance of community to welcome home initiates so they feel honored instead of being seen as outcasts, whether they’re returning from war, a tragedy, or after dealing with mental or physical illness

Experience a journey of initiation for liberation, purification, transformation and healing, in which illness is cleansed and removed from your body and you feel revitalized
