Shamanic Transformational Healing

by Ann Adam

Shamanism is an ancient healing practice that has been utilized for thousands of years in many parts of the world. Shamanism is a form of energy healing to transform imbalances in mind, emotions, and physical bodies by connecting people with our innate wisdom through nature and spirit. Everyone and everything is alive and is energy. All energy can be shapeshifted and transformed. The role of the Shaman is to facilitate this connection.

Can anyone be a shamanic practitioner? There are many ways a person is called to shamanism; some people are called to shamanism by their ancestors or through visions or dreams.

My ancestors were of the Lipan Apache, Cree Native Americans, and Indigenous peoples of Guanajuato Mexico. I remember as a child seeing my aunts practice traditional healing (curanderas), and my father’s uncle was a powerful medicine man.

When I was in my teen years my left brain told me that it was all superstition and ignorance. In my early 20’s I had spontaneous experiences with spirits and healing; true to left brain people, every time I had an experience I would happen upon information via a book or group, and I would study and apply the practices to my own healing of traumas. I learned how everything, and everyone is alive and is energy that can be shifted and transformed through shamanic energy healing.

I began my own healing of traumas with traditional therapy which I found helpful in understanding my traumas and to realize that what I had experienced had affected me emotionally, mentally, and the unhealed trauma was affecting me physically. But I felt stuck in the victim mentality and felt a need to connect with myself and heal in a different way.

I began to hear and sense my Cree great grandmother Isabel calling me to the traditional ways. With shamanic healing I was able to release and transformed crystallized energy embedded in my body from my traumas. And other gifts were connecting with the earth, spirit, and all of nature.

It felt so magical in some ways and challenging in others, it was calling me to my innate wisdom and to follow spirit when it called (it always calls but we don’t always listen) it was a challenge to let go of the many beliefs about myself that kept me in imbalance and to embrace the love that is abundant in nature and spirit.
