Auto-Immune Disease and Auto-Immune conditions – How Shamanic Healing can help
Shamanic healing is the oldest form of healing on the planet, and it can be immensely useful in healing Auto-Immune conditions because it seeks to heal the root cause of the condition, rather than the symptoms of the condition.
I have worked worldwide as a Shamanic healer for over twenty years now and this has given me a very deep understanding of the body and the various ways in which it seeks help.
It helps to remember that the body’s natural, and preferred state is health.
I have highlighted that sentence because it is something that can easily be forgotten, particularly when we have experienced ill health, perhaps over a period of several years. A baby cannot communicate in any other way than by crying, likewise, a body uses illness or pain (or both) to let us know that something needs healing. Where Western medicine often fails us is that it focuses on the symptom that is presented, the rash, the fatigue, the illness, the pain – but these are often just the body’s way of obtaining our attention, our body’s way of saying, ‘Help! I need you to heal something here!’ And more often than not it is not the symptom itself, that is just a pointer, a red flag or a grabber of our attention.
If I have learnt anything over the last 20 years, it is that that body has a supreme intelligence, beyond anything we would normally consider. Now, as we know, our bodies are created in our mother’s womb, but we – who we really are – are souls, souls that have incarnated lifetime, after lifetime, after lifetime over thousands and thousands of years. We are not our body, we inhabit our body, and when we have learned what we came here to learn, we die, we leave the body to return to the earth, and then we, the soul (or spirit) is off on another adventure to learn, evolve, and experience more in a new lifetime. But our souls are energy, and our soul experiences everything from those lifetimes, the good, the bad and the truly awful, and those things are written if you like into the energy field of our soul. So our physical body when we are born is new, but our energy field carries with it all the information – and all the trauma – we have experienced in this and other lifetimes. Many people think of a baby as ‘new’ or that we are born in with a ‘clean slate,’ but this not true at all.
To recap then….. at birth the body is new as we know, but the energy field within and outside of the body (the ‘aura’) and the chakra system are ancient. It is important to understand however that the body relies on the energy field and the chakra system for health and well-being (as well as mental and emotional wellbeing). A shaman knows that there is a direct correlation, a link, between the health of the body and the health of the energy field. Let me explain that a bit more.
The body relies on the light of the energy field, it uses this energy to boost our immune system and the many thousands of processes that are carried out internally every second of the day, as well as providing the energy we need to live and enjoy our lives. We can hear this in our language, ‘He was glowing with health,’ – this refers to a person’s bright energy field. Ideally, the energy field which radiates out of the body in an egg-shape, should be clean and clear and sparkly bright. We only have to look at a painting of Jesus to see his bright and shiny energy field radiating around him, illuminating him and everyone around him. But, when we have trauma, the trauma is lodged in the chakra system, or the energy field. Lets imagine this trauma – these blocks – as say….dirty, black bricks. Every time we experience a traumatic event, we ‘welcome’ another dirty black brick in our energy field. Now our body as I said is truly clever and it knows that it needs to keep these black bricks away from the physical body, because when they hit the physical body, this triggers serious illness… heart attack for example, if the brick is in the heart area. So, please then imagine, instead of bright sparkly light, there is a black brick so the body received less light than it should….and not only that but the body then needs to utilise lots of energy in trying to repel the brick – to push it away from the physical body! So there is twice the loss of energy at least – from the brick in the energy field taking up space where there should be light to the wastage of energy holding the brick back from the physical.
Auto-Immune Disease and Auto-Immune conditions
Then imagine this- let’s say in life you have three traumatic events each lifetime, and then let’s say you have a hundred lifetimes (this sounds like a lot but in reality its probably a lot more) – that is a lot of black bricks.
So what happens? The body strives to attain constant health, but it is aware of the black bricks of trauma, and it needs to get your attention, because it wants those traumas healing properly from not only this lifetime but also from former lifetimes. It is not happy, so it tries draw your attention to a certain area by being ‘ill’ in some way, because like the baby crying, this is the only way of communicating it has. Let’s say the body creates a rash. You then go to the doctor, who will give you a cream for the rash – but the rash is not the problem, it is just the cry for help – the body wanting healing on a deeper level – because the less black bricks it has, the more light and energy it has, the better your immune system is, and the body can achieve its natural state of health. Often then the cream will make a little difference, but it might not clear up the issue – not the issue that the body wanted resolving anyway.
This is why in my client sessions I work to create healing in the energy field generally – this frees up light and then the body is able to heal any illness it has created. What I have noticed in clients with auto-immune conditions is that they have the energy blocks, – the black bricks – but there is normally also some element of inner conflict as well, inner fighting if you like. This could be about anything – struggling with sexuality would be a good example, or fighting to stay in a relationship you are scared to leave, to stay in a job you want to leave, or fighting going on your spiritual journey is also a typical trigger of auto- immune conditions. The best way to understand it is this, everything gets mirrored in your body – all of your thoughts, all your emotions. If you are fighting against an aspect of yourself, then in all likelihood, eventually your immune system with start fighting with you. Our bodies, and our world are mirrors, reflecting what is going on deep within us. If there is fighting between the body and the immune system, you can pretty much guarantee there will be conflict somewhere, whether it is from this lifetime, or another. This is why it is so important to address your personal healing work.
I appreciate this might be hard to get your head around, because we are not taught about the body in this way – and sadly, neither are the medical profession. But a shaman has a more holistic understanding of the body, we understand how it works on the deepest levels – and how it communicates. We also have a deep understanding of the many things which can affect the energy field and therefore the body, such as blocked chakras, damage to the energy field, wounded inner children, unhealed past life trauma, power loss and soul loss, – even ancestral trauma which can come though our DNA.
Auto-Immune Disease and Auto-Immune conditions
For ease, and to provide insight as to how shamanic healing works, let me give you a real-life example of a 29 year old male client I worked with recently. (I will of course change his name, and he has very kindly given his permission for me to share his story with you).
William was a very outgoing and attractive young man in good health. He had a job and a lovely girlfriend. One day, the skin on his chest became itchy, and he noticed small blisters appearing. The blisters grew, and spread, from his chest, up his neck and all over his handsome face. Over time, they crept from his face over his scalp, down the back of his neck and down across his shoulders. The blisters burned and created a significant amount of discomfort for William. In addition to this they were red and unsightly. William went to the doctor and was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition called ‘Pemphigus Foliaceus’ and given a prescription for a cream and tablets (Immunosuppressants). But the rash continued and over time became worse, and William started to feel embarrassed about his appearance, his blistered skin was scaly and encrusted and he was in a lot of discomfort. William stopped going out and started to lose confidence in himself to the extent that he developed a self-loathing. He couldn’t understand why his girlfriend would want to continue to stay with him, and felt he no longer was worthy of her, so he ended their relationship. He then became very uncomfortable around other people and stopped socialising altogether. He became isolated and lonely and his internal chatter became more and more negative over time.
Eventually, he found his way to me. In client sessions I test people for over thirty different things which could be affecting them, including the health of the energy field, past lives, ancestral issues etc. William had a couple of blocked chakras, but they were in his lower body, – his sacral chakra. In this chakra I also saw that he had a past life that needed healing. I helped William to relax and took him on a journey into his body and he found himself in a medieval lifetime. He was able to describe his surroundings well, and he saw himself as a grown man. I asked him to tell me what was happening in this man’s life (Williams own past life in medieval times) and to my surprise, he told me that he saw this man in a simple, pleasant home, with a loving wife and a small daughter. I asked him to describe this man’s emotions, and he replied, ‘He’s immensely happy, joyful even.’ This man loved his life, his wife and his daughter. But I knew there must be some trauma somewhere, so I asked William to ‘fast forward’ the scene to show us the next major event. The tone of Williams’s voice changed dramatically. He told me the man was now distraught, broken. While the man was away somewhere, a fire had broken out in the house, trapping and killing the wife and daughter. We worked hard to heal the past life ‘William,’ his heartbreak was palpable (creating a black brick in William’s energy field) but this was not the only problem. When there is trauma in a past life, very often that past life person does not ascend to heaven upon dying for some reason. Either they keep themselves stuck here or they perceive something is keeping them stuck. This man was in deep grief and guilt over the loss of his wife and daughter, blaming and hating himself for not being there when it mattered, so he had not gone to heaven.
But there is another aspect of past lives that is essential to heal and that is they often ‘block’ their current incarnation (in this case, William) from having the same experiences they did. This man did not want William to experience to grief and pain he experienced so he found a way to keep William isolated and to stop him loving and adoring anyone. The rash. The past life man thought that if William had the rash, then he wouldn’t have a relationship and therefore could never experience the pain he had. This might sound ‘bad’ but the intention of the past life person is normally good, they just don’t realise that we (their future incarnations) have to be free to live our own lives and have our own experiences. We healed the man and reunited him with his beloved family, and then persuaded him to stop blocking William from loving anyone and then we sent them all to heaven. The energetic shift in William was immense. As the past life man cleared from his energy field, we could both feel it.
Auto-Immune Disease and Auto-Immune conditions
People work with me monthly, as their body needs time to heal and recalibrate after each session. The following month I was delighted to hear from William. He said that although he had been surprised to find the past life man there, it made perfect sense to him. He reported feeling much lighter and much calmer since his session. The best news was that Williams rash was much better, and he now only had one or two blisters. He was delighted and told me that he was now going out more and felt able to look people in the eye. He felt more confident in himself and his abilities and no longer had negative feelings towards himself, which was wonderful! Of course there is more work to do, but Williams body responded incredibly quickly.
I hope the case study above demonstrates the depth and benefits of shamanic healing for auto-immune disorders and how it can heal the deepest conflicts within the body and energy field. Once these conflicts are healed the body often clears up the ‘symptom,’ and the person can go on to lead a full and rich life.
