Shamanic healing is an ancient practice that is making a strong comeback in modern wellness. People are turning to holistic healing methods to address emotional, spiritual, and physical imbalances. If you’re in Brighton and curious about shamanic healing, you’re in the right place. Brighton is known for its vibrant spiritual community, making it an ideal city to explore alternative healing methods.
In this article, we’ll explore what shamanic healing is, how it differs from other energy therapies like Reiki and hypnotherapy, and the transformative benefits it offers. Plus, I’ll share my personal approach as a shamanic practitioner and life coach, to guide you on how to book your first session in Brighton.
What is Shamanic Healing?
Shamanic healing is one of the oldest spiritual healing practices, dating back thousands of years. Rooted in indigenous cultures across the world, it is based on the belief that illness and suffering originate from spiritual disconnection, energy blockages, or unresolved traumas.
Core Principles of Shamanic Healing:
- Energy & Spirit Connection: Everything is energy, and a shamanic healer works to clear negative energies and restore balance.
- Guided Spiritual Journeys: Shamans enter altered states of consciousness (often through drumming, chanting, or meditation) to retrieve lost parts of the soul or receive guidance.
- Healing Past Traumas: Many emotional wounds stem from past experiences or ancestral patterns, which shamanic healing helps to resolve.
How It Works:
A shamanic healing session is unlike any other form of healing, and typically no two ceremonies are the same. Each ceremony has its own focus and process, but even then the actual ceremony will be highly unique to you and your journey. A typical ceremony may involve these key elements:
- A consultation to discuss emotional or physical concerns.
- A guided journey where the healer connects with spirit guides to retrieve insights or lost energy.
- Energy clearing, soul retrieval, or deep healing rituals to restore harmony.
- Post-session integration with advice on grounding and self-care.
Shamanic healing isn’t tied to any single religion but is deeply spiritual, helping individuals connect to their true essence and the universe.
How It Differs from Reiki & Hypnotherapy
Many people wonder how shamanic healing compares to other popular energy-healing techniques like Reiki or hypnotherapy. While all three modalities focus on healing, they operate in very different ways.
Shamanic Healing vs. Reiki
- Shamanic healing involves singing, rattling, spiritual journeys, ancestral healing, and working with spirit guides. It is deeply transformative and focuses on emotional and soul-level healing.
- Shamanic healing involves digging deep into your past, your traumas, your pain and your darkest shadows. It is highly communicative and powerfully emotional. It is by far the most emotionally charged of the healing modalities I offer.
- Reiki is a Japanese energy-healing technique that works by channelling universal life force energy through the hands, promoting relaxation and stress relief.
- Reiki ask for you just to relax, lie comfortably and receive, there is no need to communicate or share your shadows, it is a beautiful, soft and caring modality, yet it does not provide the level of transformation Shamanic Healing can.
Shamanic Healing vs. Hypnotherapy
- Shamanic healing takes a spiritual approach to uncovering and healing deep-seated emotional wounds.
- Hypnotherapy works on a subconscious level to reprogram thoughts, behaviours, and fears through guided hypnosis.
Which One Should You Choose?
- If you’re seeking deep emotional and spiritual healing, shamanic healing is the way to go.
- If you need energy balancing and stress relief, Reiki might be more suitable.
- If you want to reprogram your subconscious for behavioural change, hypnotherapy is the better option.
Benefits of Emotional Healing
Shamanic healing is particularly powerful for emotional and spiritual well-being. It helps individuals release deep-seated traumas, overcome life challenges, and reconnect with their higher selves.
Unlike other healing modalities Shamanic healing ceremonies can go deep into your emotional trauma and life story, they are communicative, and can only go as deep as you’re willing to shear.
Key Benefits:
- Healing Past Traumas: Many emotional wounds are rooted in past experiences, childhood conditioning, or ancestral patterns. Shamanic healing helps clear these energetic blockages.
- Releasing Negative Energies: If you feel stuck, anxious, or burdened by past emotions, a shamanic session can help cleanse these energies and restore harmony.
- Reconnecting with Your True Self: Many people feel disconnected from their purpose. Shamanic healing can bring clarity and guidance on your life path.
- Stress & Anxiety Reduction: By working with spirit guides and nature’s wisdom, shamanic healing promotes deep relaxation and inner peace.
- Improving Relationships: By healing past wounds and emotional patterns, you can experience healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
What to Expect in an Emotional Healing Session:
- The healer may use techniques like soul retrieval (bringing back lost energy from past trauma) or power animal retrieval (finding your spiritual guide for strength and wisdom).
- You may experience visions, sensations, or emotional releases during the session.
- After the session, people often feel lighter, more balanced, and emotionally free.
- You will be asked to share your thoughts, your visions, and your deepest emotions. The deeper you are willing to share the more powerful your transformation and release. Only you can decide how effective the healing ceremony will be.
Shamanic healing is deeply personal, and each experience is unique. The results, however, are often life-changing.
My Unique Approach as a Shamanic Practitioner and Life Coach
As a shamanic practitioner and life coach, I blend ancient healing wisdom with modern coaching techniques to help clients achieve lasting transformation. My approach is deeply personal, and I tailor each session based on individual needs.
If you want to take a single healing session further, then a coaching plan might be something you should consider. If you have a deeper need for a more powerful and impactful transformation, a series of sessions are likely to give you the comfort you are seeking.
What Makes My Sessions Unique?
- Personalized Healing Plans: Each client receives a customized healing journey based on their emotional and spiritual needs.
- Integration Coaching: Healing doesn’t stop at the session. I guide clients on how to integrate their experiences into daily life.
- Holistic Techniques: I incorporate breathwork, guided meditations, energy clearing, and traditional shamanic practices for deep healing.
I’ve helped many clients overcome past traumas, step into their power, and find clarity in their lives. If you’re ready for deep transformation, I’d love to guide you on your journey.
Be aware of the impact of Shamanic Healing
If you are not sure exactly what you need, it might be that simple healing will help, or you might need a series of powerful healings in order to bring balance back into your life.
Know that some of these healing ceremonies are so powerful your entire life can change overnight, so be careful that you are prepared to do the work required and make the changes in order for your happiness and balance in life to return.
Some people have found that when they realise they need to completely change their lifestyle in order to find balance and be happy they literally have found they had to move to a new town, leave partners, jobs and friend groups.
Only when they took these big leaps of faith did they see the life they truly want fall into place and deliver to them the abundance, happiness and balance they so longed for
Be prepared to do the work
Shamanic healing ceremonies often have homework which is essential for you to see the results of your transformation. Homework can be simple and some examples include:
- Making time for yourself on a daily basis
- Starting some form of ritual practice in your daily life, such as daily gratitude prayers
- Finding ways to give to others without the expectation of something in return.
It is only when we implement the teachings and the gifts given in ceremony do we see the changes in our daily lives. As I mentioned before these can be very big, or they can be small, and only when they are acted upon and put into action will the change we seek start to materialise.
What to Expect in Your First Session?
- A discussion about your concerns and intentions
- A guided journey into your subconscious and spiritual world (If required)
- Energy clearing, soul retrieval practices, past life visitations,
- Post-session integration guidance
How to Prepare for Your Session?
- Wear comfortable clothing and come with an open mind
- Set an intention for your healing
