I once had a client who had a couple healing sessions with me while he was dealing with a loss in his family. He stated that he had felt much better and that he would no longer emotionally freeze or close up when he thought about his loved one or at the sight of their belongings. He contacted me again a while later saying he needed another session because he still felt sad.
When we experience loss, we are prone to the full spectrum of emotion. Sadness, anger, guilt, etc. are all realities that we must face during difficult times as much as joy and laughter are realities during happy times.
We often want to run away from pain, whether we reach for the bottle or our spiritual healer. It’s much easier to convince ourselves that we’re not avoiding something if it’s under the guise of spiritual advancement.
Shamanic healing will help to remove whatever is causing that sadness to be emotionally paralyzing but it will not take away from the real experience of your human body. Those emotions are necessary to process the grief and to eventually come to peace with the changes that are occurring.
Healing is about moving through pain fully, embracing your normal human self as well as your higher consciousness through the good and the bad.
