A Sacred Reunion: Shamanism and Allergy Release

activities during certain seasons lest you suffer with watery eyes, runny nose, cough- ing, sneezing or other discomfort? Does contact with animals transform you into a sniffl ing, itchy blob? Are your friends and family members impacted by your aller- gies? Your symptoms might be as mild as sniffl es or as serious as anaphylaxis and they have prevented you from enjoying life completely and fully. You’ve likely explored different treatment options, traditional and non-traditional, without relief. It is pos- sible that shamanism might be perfect for you either under these circumstances or as a lifelong practice. Shamanism may offer what other modalities could not….a release of your allergies!

This ancient practice spans across all cultures and is based on the knowledge that all things are connected by threads of en- ergy, creating the “All That Is”. When these threads are weakened or broken, they can be restored by shamanic practices which honor the partnership existing between all


llergies…have you been affected by them at some point in your life? Have you had to curtail outdoor


things on the physical and the energetic spiritual planes. An energetic weakening or tear might manifest in many ways, including as an allergic response.


I fi rst try to determine why my client has energetically disconnected from those plants, animals or substances causing dis- tress. The reasons this disconnect occurs are as varied as the lives of the people who are affected. Thus, my exact approach will vary from person to person.


I might guide a client on a shamanic journey into non-ordinary reality, an energetic realm comprised of three levels: the lower world, the middle world and the upper world. Achieving theta brain wave states is desired, a level of consciousness associated with dreaming and creativity, and is usually done through the beat of a drum or rattle. There I would assist the journeyer in reconnecting energetically to those things from which he/she had become separated. It is a simple and enjoyable process, even for fi rst time journeyers.


In some situations, I could journey on someone’s behalf and ask that plant or On...Nutrition & Reflux in Children...

animal why the separation occurred and if it is willing to once again work in partner- ship with that person. That energy would be retrieved, and I would blow or “camay” it back into the client’s energy fi eld. Circling around them in traditional fashion, I would seal in this essence by using the vibration of a rattle or drum to complete the reunion.


Sometimes a fear or phobia will accom-


pany an allergy, especially if the trigger is an animal. An extreme or irrational phobia of an animal may be caused by a past-life memory stored in the subconscious mind. Although the physical body is a different body, the subconscious mind carries all the experiences from all time. The subconscious can recreate a familiar experience, includ- ing the physical or emotional trauma associ- ated with that experience.


So, if one’s fi nal experience in a past


lifetime was of being killed by a tiger or other wild animal, that fear might create an energetic imprint. This imprint might present in the form of a fear, phobia or an allergic response to a similar type of animal such as a domestic house cat. If the allergy is to a food, it’s possible that exposure to or inges- tion of a substance in a previous lifetime led to death. For some, exposure to an aller- gen can result in a present life-threatening situation, such as anaphylaxis. It is impera- tive that an appropriate and effective plan be implemented. Physical and emotional emergencies should be treated as such and appropriate medical care should be sought.


If exploration of past lives is the method


chosen to release the allergic response, the shamanic approach would differ from hypnotic regression therapy. Hypnotic regression requires that the client be guided via hypnosis back through time to the origin of the problem. Although I have found
