A 2 day workshop teaching you how to perform an extraction of unhealthy energy from a person, and complete the healing process by illuminating their energy field. 

This workshop is suitable for anyone with an interest in Shamanic Healing practices, no previous experience required as I run through all the basics, opening sacred space, cleansing and aligning your energy field and psychic protection methods as well as the extraction and illumination processes.

This workshop will be playful, and experiential. It runs over 2 days 10 am - 4 pm, with a 1 hour lunch break around 12.30 pm - 1.30 pm. I will be holding space for a maximum of 8 participants.

WHAT IS EXTRACTION?

Not all energies that we experience within us belong to us. Some of the energies held in our bodies, or in our life’s patterns come from other people, perhaps we have inherited them from our ancestors in the past, and it is helpful to extract these energies.

If a feeling, a thought, or energy is not comfortable, it does not belong to us. It is that simple. Just like food which is toxic, it may be deliciously addictive, or just unhealthy for us although it suits someone else ok. The body will do its best to eliminate these foods, but sometimes they get stuck and we can use some help to detoxify our system.

There are also psychic or energetic toxins that we need to clear from the body, these may not eliminate from the body spontaneously, and they can be unhealthy for us.

There are 2 main types of intrusive energies we need to be aware of.

The first type is emotional - feelings like anger or jealousy that have been directed towards you. These energies are more intrusive when they come from someone who has been close to us, as our luminous energy fields are not able to discern that these thoughts and feelings are from a foreign source. As we have connected in some way that allows their thoughts and feelings to get deeper into our own energy body, this is particularly obvious with family members and lovers. You may have experienced how your mother or your children are able to activate certain feelings within you - because energetically speaking - these people are literally a part of you. So when they are angry at you it really hurts. There are certain phrases we use in our common language like being stabbed in the back or heartbroken that describe these experiences. These negative/heavy intrusive emotional energies that are held in the body may even come from previous lifetimes, leaving a kind of signature, so the individual repeats certain patterns of behaviour or relationship dynamics that continue to harm.

The second type of intrusive energy we may come across is an Entity. These are more common than you may think. These are not demonic beings. These are most often our loved ones that have died but have become unconscious and are caught between the realms. They attach to us as we are familiar with them and they feel safe with us. They have come to us for help, and we can help them transcend across the veil into the spirit world again, where they can be at peace and revive the healing they need from this lifetime.

This can happen because a person is not fully conscious when they die. Perhaps they were heavily medicated when they died or died from a trauma that was such a shock they did not have enough conscious awareness to know what was happening. Also, people with strong religious beliefs, who believe when they die they will be judged and may go to hell, will cling on and choose not to take the step across the veil, unaware of the true beauty of passing into the dimension of pure love and light again. Or people who have unfinished business, perhaps they didn’t get to say goodbye to someone they loved, forgive someone, or finish a project they felt they were born to complete in one lifetime.

These spirits who are unable to transcend often attach to family members, or to empaths who have kind loving hearts, the sort of people you would naturally be attracted to at a time of need. These spirits can be carried from childhood, so a person becomes used to having them in their energy field. These spirits can change the way we feel, the way we perceive reality, and the way we behave, as we carry around other beings as heavy energy attachments.

These spirits may need our assistance, as a shamanic practitioner, with our increased awareness compared to the average unconscious person, we feel them, sometimes we see them, listen to them, speak with them and help them complete their journey which began when their body died, and ends as they cross the view into the spirit realm, to be at one with love and light again.

When a person who has died is attached to a human, they often attach to a physical part of the person. This can be an organ of the body, a muscle, or a joint. The organ or area of the body that has the attachment acts as if it has an energy parasite, and its function will be compromised, as the entity feeds from the life force of the person they are attached to. This may not be intentional in any way, so it is good to have compassion towards them. This could present as an addiction, a behaviour or a physical health problem. When we remove these entities we work through the energy system, the chakras and the meridians, as these are the pathways through which we can most easily remove the attachments to organs or the body’s tissues.

WHAT IS ILLUMINATION?

The illumination ceremony is a core shamanic healing practice, this ceremony helps us to eliminate the imprint of disease from the energy field. It clears the field and allows the process of healing to begin, so the energy field begins to create health instead of disease.

The energy field, often called the luminous energy field, is a matrix that holds the imprints of the information that we inherited from our ancestors. This information includes stories about how we will live, how we will age, how we will suffer and how we will die.

By clearing the ancestral imprints within the field, we can create our own original life stories. By performing this ceremony we are removing and detoxifying the energy field and replacing it with light energy, a blank canvas for you to begin to tell a new story of health.

As we perform this ceremony we will help to bring light into the energy body, clear heavy energy where there is an imbalance and it is holding the story of dis-ease to encourage healing and transformation on a deep level.

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR? Anyone who wishes to experience extraction & illumination for their own healing, and potentially to use these techniques in healing others.

No previous experience is required of shamanism or ceremony, as I will cover all the basics. Further mentoring, support and shamanic training is available should you wish to progress once you have explored these teachings.

This course is ideal for anyone already working in the healing arts to enhance their skill set and deepen their understanding of their clients spiritual healing potential.

This course can be used as part of the Shamanic Practitioner Apprenticeship Training programme offered by Plant Spirit Medicine Woman.
