SHAMANIC COUNSELLING
What is Shamanic counselling?
Shamanic counselling differs from most types of counselling in that
the client goes directly to the spirits for help. The spirits are our
true counsellors.
Shamanic counselling enables us to find the source of – and solution
to – the challenges and difficulties which we all face from time to
time. This brings us personal empowerment, wisdom and healing. The
shamanic journey also enhances our relationship with our spirits and can
help us along our path in this life.
The shamanic counsellor works by first teaching the client to
undertake the shamanic journey so that they can meet their own spirit
teachers and helpers. By journeying, the client can seek help, healing
or advice directly from the spirits. This can include personal healing,
help with life changes, decision making and problem solving, work on
bereavement, relationships, depression, emotional issues, spiritual
development and much more.
The counsellor’s job is first to help the client to focus on and
formulate the question for the journey. The client speaks the journey
out loud, so that it can be discussed afterwards with the counsellor.
The counsellor does not interpret the journey, but uses his or her
knowledge and experience of the shamanic process to ask careful
questions which allow the client to understand what has been experienced
in a deeper and more meaningful way
