Fasting & Human Growth Hormone: Boost Your Health

On 15 December 2025 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

One of the benefits of fasting is the production of Human Growth Hormone (HGH).  HGH is a peptide hormone made by the pituitary gland that plays a central role in growth, tissue repair, metabolism, brain function, and healthy ageing. It’s sometimes called the body’s repair and regeneration hormone.

What Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Does

HGH affects almost every system in the body:

1. Cell Repair & Regeneration

  • Stimulates tissue repair (muscle, skin, organs)

  • Increases collagen production → healthier skin and joints

  • Speeds wound healing

2. Muscle & Fat Metabolism

  • Promotes fat burning (lipolysis)

  • Preserves lean muscle mass

  • Shifts the body toward using fat and ketones for fuel

3. Brain & Nervous System

  • Supports neuroplasticity and memory

  • Improves sleep quality (especially deep sleep)

  • Supports mood regulation

4. Immune & Longevity Effects

  • Enhances immune cell regeneration

  • Supports mitochondrial health

  • Declines naturally with age (significantly after ~30)

What Happens to HGH When We Fast

Fasting is one of the strongest natural stimulators of HGH.

During Fasting:

  • Insulin drops

  • Blood glucose stabilises

  • HGH rises dramatically

Studies show:

  • 24-hour fast → HGH increases up to 5×

  • 48-hour fast → HGH may increase 10–20×

This rise happens because:

  • Low insulin removes suppression of HGH release

  • The body shifts into repair mode rather than growth mode

  • HGH protects muscle while fat is burned

Why HGH Rises During Fasting (Evolutionary Logic)

From a survival standpoint:

  • When food is scarce, the body does not want to break down muscle

  • HGH preserves muscle and organs

  • Energy is drawn from stored fat

  • Repair processes are prioritised

This is why fasting often leads to:

  • Fat loss without muscle loss

  • Mental clarity

  • Reduced inflammation

HGH, Autophagy & Healing

HGH works alongside autophagy (cellular recycling):

Process Role
HGH Repairs and rebuilds tissue
Autophagy Clears damaged cells and proteins

Fasting activates both — creating a powerful clean-up and repair cycle.

Health Benefits Linked to Fasting-Induced HGH

  • Improved insulin sensitivity

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Enhanced fat loss

  • Skin rejuvenation

  • Better recovery from injury

  • Possible longevity benefits

This is why fasting is used therapeutically in:

  • Metabolic syndrome

  • Inflammatory conditions

  • Neurodegenerative disease research

  • Anti-ageing medicine

What Blocks HGH Release

To maximise natural HGH:

  • ❌ Frequent snacking

  • ❌ High sugar intake

  • ❌ Late-night eating

  • ❌ Alcohol before sleep

  • ❌ Chronic stress and poor sleep

Natural Ways to Increase HGH (Without Fasting)

  • Deep sleep (especially before midnight)

  • Resistance training

  • High-intensity exercise

  • Protein cycling (not constant grazing)

  • Cold exposure

  • Short fasts (14–18 hours)

Important Safety Notes

Fasting is not appropriate for everyone. Avoid or seek supervision if you have:

  • Eating disorders

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding

  • Advanced adrenal fatigue

  • Type 1 diabetes

  • Certain medications

A Nervous-System Perspective

From a trauma-informed and somatic lens:

  • Fasting shifts the body from sympathetic “survival” mode into parasympathetic repair

  • Lower insulin and inflammation reduce nervous-system hypervigilance

  • HGH supports restoration rather than defence

This is one reason many people report emotional clarity or spiritual insight during fasting — the nervous system is no longer dominated by constant metabolic demand.

1️⃣ What Happens Between 14–18 Hours of Fasting

By ~12–14 hours

  • Insulin is low and stable

  • The body switches from glucose → fat burning

  • Hunger hormones (ghrelin) begin to calm

  • Mental clarity often improves

By ~14–16 hours

  • HGH rises significantly (muscle-protective, fat-burning)

  • Autophagy begins (cellular clean-up)

  • Inflammation starts to reduce

  • Gut gets a true rest-and-repair window

By ~16–18 hours

  • Deeper fat metabolism and ketone use

  • Improved insulin sensitivity

  • Increased mitochondrial efficiency

  • Nervous system shifts toward parasympathetic repair

  • Appetite regulation improves long-term

This window is where many people get most of the benefits with the least stress.

2️⃣ Key Benefits of 14–18 Hour Fasting

Metabolic & Hormonal

  • Fat loss without muscle loss

  • Lower insulin resistance

  • Improved blood sugar control

  • Increased HGH release

Brain & Nervous System

  • Better focus and calm

  • Reduced anxiety and reactivity

  • Improved sleep quality over time

Digestive & Immune

  • Gut lining repair

  • Reduced bloating and inflammation

  • Improved microbiome rhythm

Anti-Ageing & Repair

  • Autophagy activation

  • Cellular renewal

  • Reduced oxidative stress

3️⃣ Is It Good to Do This Daily?

✅ Yes — for most people, daily 14–16 hours is:

  • Safe

  • Sustainable

  • Beneficial long-term

This is often called time-restricted eating rather than “fasting” in the clinical sense.

18 hours daily, however, depends on the person.

4️⃣ Does Daily Fasting Achieve Better Results?

Consistency > Length

Approach Result
Daily 14–16 hrs Steady metabolic repair
Occasional 18 hrs Deeper fat & autophagy pulses
Random fasting Less effective
Constant grazing Worst outcomes

Daily fasting works best because:

  • Insulin remains consistently low

  • Hormones re-entrain to a rhythm

  • Hunger signals reset

  • The nervous system learns safety in stillness

Results compound over weeks, not days.

5️⃣ When Daily Fasting Can Be Too Much

Be cautious with daily 18-hour fasts if you notice:

  • Cold intolerance

  • Fatigue or dizziness

  • Sleep disturbance

  • Hair thinning

  • Loss of menstrual regularity

  • Increased anxiety or irritability

These are signs of excess stress, not healing.

6️⃣ Best Practice: A Nervous-System-Friendly Approach

Given your interest in trauma-informed healing, this matters.

🌿 Recommended rhythm:

  • Most days: 14–16 hours

  • 1–2 days per week: 16–18 hours (if it feels easy)

  • Occasional rest days: 12–13 hours

This avoids turning fasting into a stressor.

7️⃣ What to Eat When You Break the Fast (Very Important)

To avoid cortisol spikes:

  • Protein first

  • Healthy fats second

  • Carbs last (if included)

Avoid:

  • Sugary foods

  • Large caffeine doses on an empty stomach

  • Ultra-processed foods

8️⃣ Who Benefits Most From Daily 14–16 Hour Fasting

  • Insulin resistance or weight gain

  • Inflammation or auto-immune issues

  • Brain fog or fatigue

  • Emotional dysregulation

  • Poor sleep

9️⃣ Who Should Be Careful or Avoid Daily Fasting

  • History of eating disorders

  • Pregnancy / breastfeeding

  • Underweight individuals

  • High chronic stress or burnout

  • Certain endocrine conditions

🔑 Bottom Line

Yes — daily 14–16 hour fasting is one of the most reliable, low-risk health interventions available.

  • It works because it’s rhythmic, not extreme

  • Daily consistency beats long fasts

  • 18 hours is powerful but optional, not required

Shamanic Healing for Borderline Personality Disorder

On 14 December 2025 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is often misunderstood, stigmatised, and spoken about in ways that miss its deeper truth.  Rather than being a “personality flaw,” BPD is increasingly understood as a nervous-system and attachment response shaped by early relational trauma.  Behind the intense emotions, fear of abandonment, and relationship difficulties is a highly sensitive system that learned to stay in survival mode to cope.  This article explores BPD through a trauma-informed, compassionate lens — focusing on what’s really happening beneath the behaviours, and how healing becomes possible when safety and regulation are restored.

Core Features

  • Emotional instability – intense, rapidly shifting emotions (anger, sadness, anxiety) often triggered by relationships

  • Fear of abandonment – extreme sensitivity to real or perceived rejection; frantic efforts to avoid being left

  • Unstable relationships – idealising someone one moment, then devaluing them the next (“all good / all bad” thinking)

  • Unstable self-image – shifting sense of identity, values, goals, or sense of self

  • Impulsivity – risky behaviours (spending, sex, substances, binge eating, reckless driving)

  • Self-harm or suicidal behaviour – cutting, burning, threats or attempts (not always present, but common)

  • Chronic emptiness – persistent feelings of inner void or boredom

  • Intense anger – difficulty controlling anger; outbursts or simmering resentment

  • Stress-related paranoia or dissociation – feeling unreal, disconnected, or suspicious under stress

Key Patterns

  • Emotion-driven reactions rather than reasoned responses

  • Black-and-white thinking (splitting)

  • High sensitivity to tone, silence, or small changes in others

  • Symptoms often ease with age, especially with therapy

Important Notes

  • BPD is not a character flaw — it’s a trauma-linked nervous system pattern

  • Many people with BPD are highly empathetic, intuitive, and creative

  • Effective treatments exist, especially Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Cause of BPD

In my experience, those with BPD are empaths who grew up with Narcissistic Abuse from Narcissistic Mothers.  A caregiver with Narcissistic Personality Disorder will cause many emotional problems in children.  Those children who are very sensitive will be the worst affected and may end up with extreme damage in the form of BPD.  Children will be further affected by harsh and unfair treatment by teachers, resulting from the institutional narcissism within schools.

How Shamanic Healing Can Support Recovery from BPD

Shamanic Healing approaches recovery from Borderline Personality Disorder by working at the level where many BPD patterns originate: the subconscious, energetic, and nervous-system imprint of early trauma.  Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, shamanic work seeks to restore wholeness, safety, and inner sovereignty.

Shamanic Subconscious Repatterning

Shamanic Subconscious Repatterning, as offered by Rose, supports recovery from BPD by addressing the deep-rooted subconscious programmes and emotional imprints that drive automatic responses and survival patterns.  This approach uses shamanic journeying to access and shift dysfunctional, self-limiting beliefs held in the subconscious mind, replacing them with more empowering patterns that reduce reactivity, fear-based behaviours, and emotional overwhelm — essentially rewiring how the limbic (emotional) brain responds to triggers.  By releasing old trauma imprints, removing energetic blockages, and reinstating lost life-force energy, Shamanic Subconscious Repatterning can help people with BPD feel more grounded, regulated, and in control of their emotional responses, creating space for new, healthier ways of being.

Restoration

From a shamanic perspective, chronic emotional instability, fear of abandonment, and identity disturbance can be understood as forms of power loss — where parts of the self disconnect during overwhelming experiences.  Practices such as soul retrieval and energy-body clearing are designed to gently restore these lost aspects, allowing the individual to feel more grounded, present, and internally anchored.

Drumming

Shamanic healing also emphasises regulation through the rhythm of the drumming to calm the nervous system, bringing it out of survival mode and into a state of connection and safety.  This mirrors modern somatic trauma approaches, helping emotions become less overwhelming and more manageable over time.

Indirect Healing

Another key element is working with spiritual allies and symbolic imagery rather than cognitive analysis alone.  For many people with BPD, direct talking can re-trigger emotional flooding.  Shamanic work allows healing to occur indirectly, through imagery, sensation, and felt experience, bypassing the analytical mind while still creating profound shifts in behaviour and emotional response.

Nervous System Regulation

Importantly, shamanic healing can support nervous-system regulation, repair attachment wounds, and strengthen a sense of inner stability.  Over time, this combination can help individuals move from survival-driven reactions toward greater self-trust, emotional balance, and a felt sense of belonging within themselves.

Restoration

At its core, shamanic healing reframes recovery from BPD not as “fixing what is broken,” but as remembering what was lost — and restoring the individual’s innate capacity for balance, connection, and self-compassion.

Healing Ego with Shamanism in the Film Changing Lanes

On 8 October 2025 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

The film ‘Changing Lanes’ demonstrates how a moment of distraction quickly spirals into a dangerous feud, and how ego, as an expression of unhealed trauma, can derail lives.  It is a cautionary tale and a reminder of the importance of mindfulness and healing in creating a peaceful and loving New Earth.

Samuel L Jackson and Ben Affleck star in this tense and gripping drama that explores anger, greed, and the battle of wills.  This film probes the limits of morality and human behaviour in modern society when people put themselves under extreme pressure.

A seemingly minor car accident on a busy New York City morning rapidly spirals out of control, setting off a chain of extreme conflict that ripples through both men’s lives.  Preoccupied by the stress of their separate court appointments, neither of them is focusing on the road or the cars around them.

Affleck is a lawyer with an urgent legal filing, and Jackson is an insurance agent anxious about a custody hearing.  Instead of being aware of the traffic, they are in their minds, overthinking and planning what they will say in their respective court cases.  This lack of attention has far-reaching consequences for others around them.

Both men are living fast-paced lives, demonstrating how modern living has distorted our sense of well-being, creating triggered reactions to stressful events, resulting in destructive behaviour.  Instead of working things out amicably, they embark upon a competitive battle, each determined to impose greater harm on the other.

Mindfulness

The film illustrates how a lack of mindfulness and empathy can escalate ordinary frustrations into destructive battles.  Had they taken a mindful approach to their morning drive, the situation could have been avoided.  Daily meditation enables us to approach life as a peaceful observer who is in full command of our thoughts, feelings, and actions.  Acting from a place of peace enables us to have empathy for others, moderating our behaviour.

Healing Wounds

People who operate their lives through ego are often reacting from a place of unhealed trauma.  The ego will always come up to defend an old wound.  By becoming aware of our negative patterns of behaviour, we can start to peel the onion and get to the core of our wounds.  Shamanic Healing Distance Sessions can quickly identify the root cause of the pattern and create a new, positive programme.

Greed

As well as exploring the consequences of anger, two subplots also touch on the ego of greed, demonstrating how unchecked power leads to cheating and theft.  The two other partners at Afleck’s law firm are implicated in the theft of money from a charity for which they were acting.  These characters were acting from unrestrained greed and lack of moral standards, likely caused by an unhealed childhood trauma.  Throughout the film, the main characters are acting without consideration for the feelings of others and without thought for the consequences of their actions.

Anger & Alcoholism

Jackson’s character could have healed his alcoholism if he had gone for a Shamanic Healing Session to heal the wound that was causing him to self-medicate his anger.  There would likely have been a caregiver in his childhood with whom he was angry.  By repressing his emotions, they were being released in triggered moments, causing chaos in his life.  He sought to control this chaotic behaviour through alcohol.

Pride & Lust

Affleck’s character would have improved his marriage by addressing the reason he was having an affair with a work colleague and changing his behavioural pattern to a new one of fidelity and consideration for his wife.  He would also benefit from mindfulness so that he could act with consideration for others in all areas of his life.  His pride caused him to rush around, triggering rash actions with grave repercussions.  This arrogance was likely being fueled by an unresolved childhood wound, which could have been resolved through Shamanic Healing.

Forgiveness

The film entertainingly follows the two protagonists in a full day of sparring and concludes with them both stepping back to consider their actions.  By pausing to reflect on the day, they are able to explore forgiveness and the cost of redemption.

Healing the Web of Life

Changing Lanes serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting how a single rash choice, driven by ego, can unleash a cascade of consequences far beyond our control, impacting our lives and those around us.  It shows how urgently we need mindfulness and healing to navigate not just the roads we travel, but the shared journey of life itself.  Shamanic Healing can address trauma and create new patterns of behaviour that cascade out into our everyday lives to benefit the web of life.

The Wise Words of the Desiderata

On 19 April 2025 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Natural, Plant-Based Gut-Healing Foods

On 5 March 2025 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

For over 15 years, I have recommended a gut-healing process developed by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, which emphasizes the consumption of animal fats and bone broth. My family and I have experienced significant benefits from this approach, including improved mood and cognitive function, leading to greater overall well-being.

In recent years, veganism has grown in popularity, and there are now several natural, plant-based foods and methods that can aid in gut healing and digestion. These focus on reducing inflammation, repairing the gut lining, and supporting a healthy microbiome, all without animal products.

🌱 Vegan Gut Healing Foods

1. Fermented Foods (Probiotics) – Restore Gut Bacteria

Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria to help rebalance your gut microbiome. Sources include:

  • Sauerkraut
  • Kimchi (ensure no fish sauce)
  • Miso
  • Tempeh
  • Kombucha
  • Coconut yogurt (unsweetened)

Eat small amounts daily to avoid bloating at first.

2. Prebiotic Foods – Feed Good Bacteria

Prebiotics help probiotic bacteria thrive by providing them with food.  Sources include:

  • Bananas (especially slightly green)
  • Garlic
  • Onions
  • Leeks
  • Chicory root
  • Jerusalem artichokes
  • Apples
  • Oats

These resistant starches help diversify gut bacteria and improve digestion.

3. Aloe Vera – Soothes & Repairs the Gut Lining

Aloe vera contains anti-inflammatory compounds that help heal the gut lining.

  • Aloe vera juice (ensure food-grade, no additives)
  • Aloe gel (blended into smoothies)

Start with small amounts, as it can have a mild laxative effect.

4. Slippery Elm & Marshmallow Root – Coat & Protect the Gut

These mucilaginous herbs form a protective barrier over the gut lining.

  • Slippery elm powder (mix with warm water)
  • Marshmallow root tea

Ideal for those with IBS, acid reflux, or leaky gut syndrome.

5. Omega-3 from Plant Sources – Reduce Inflammation

Omega-3s reduce gut inflammation and promote healthy cell membranes.

  • Chia seeds
  • Flaxseeds
  • Hemp seeds
  • Walnuts
  • Algal oil (vegan alternative to fish oil)

Grind flaxseeds before consuming for better absorption.  Or try a teaspoon of cold-pressed flaxseed oil in a daily smoothie.

6. Bone Broth Alternative – Seaweed & Mushroom Broth

Instead of animal-based broth, you can rebuild gut health with mineral-rich plant alternatives.

Ingredients for a Gut-Healing Broth:

  • Kombu or wakame seaweed
  • Shiitake mushrooms
  • Ginger & turmeric
  • Miso (added after cooking)

Drink daily as a warming gut-healing tonic.

7. Anti-Inflammatory Spices & Herbs

Chronic gut inflammation can be reduced with powerful anti-inflammatory spices used in cooking, teas, and smoothies.

  • Turmeric (curcumin reduces gut inflammation)
  • Ginger (soothes digestion and nausea)
  • Cinnamon (balances blood sugar)
  • Fennel seeds (reduces bloating)

Make turmeric tea with black pepper for better absorption.

🌿 Lifestyle Tips for Gut Healing

  • Reduce Processed Foods & Sugar – Excess sugar feeds bad bacteria.
  • Drink Plenty of Filtered Water – Hydration helps with digestion.
  • Manage Stress – High stress weakens the gut barrier (try meditation or deep breathing).
  • Chew Food Thoroughly – Digestion starts in the mouth!
  • Avoid Caffeine & Alcohol – Both can disrupt gut balance.

🌱 Conclusion

✔ A plant-based approach to gut healing is possible by focussing on probiotics, prebiotics, anti-inflammatory foods, and gut-soothing herbs.
✔ Fermented foods, aloe vera, slippery elm, omega-3s, and gut-friendly broths can help repair and balance the digestive system.
✔ Lifestyle changes (like reducing stress and sugar) are just as important as food.

Unlock Your Power: Shamanic Healing for a New Earth

On 18 September 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Many of us are feeling disatisfied with the World, but instead of feeling disempowered and fed up with our lot lets unlock our power and create positive change.  We have been supressed into a state of being that accepts what the system creates for us, but we hold the power to create our own version of the Earth; an upgraded version where suffering and lack is replaced with abundance for all.

 

“How is it that man is content to crawl, and not only content to crawl but is obliged to do so?

If man was given dominion over all things, he was certainly given power to fly above the birds. If this is his dominion why has he not asserted his dominion long ago?

The fault must certainly be in man’s own mind.”

Life & Teaching of the Masters of the Far East

 

Heal trauma, remove blockages, and reprogramme your brain with Shamanic Healing Distance Sessions to enable you to co-create the New Earth using the Perfect Law of the Masters. 

Healing ourselves enables us to raise our vibration from fear to care, which in turn enables us to stop focusing on the negative and what is wrong with the World.

In the care vibration we can transmute that which is harmful to our Mother by feeling love for all from our heart-chakra.  In this state visualisation enables us to create our optimal version of reality and by speaking what we see we bring it down to the Earth.

Things we can manifest for the benefit of our Mother Earth, humanity, and all of the creatures, plants, minerals, and elements that share it with us may include, but are not limited to:

  • ending corrupt governments and councils by withholding taxes until they stop all wars;
  • putting debt collectors out of business by stopping payments;
  • ending usury by stopping credit card and loan payments;
  • ending the control of humanity through fear;
  • ending the mainstream media and their agendas to create division among ethnic and other specialist groups;
  • empowering the weak, sick, and traumatized;
  • providing clean, mineralized oxygenated primary water for all plants, animals, and humans;
  • ending deforestation by greedy corporations;
  • everyone taking control of their ego;
  • acting from heart-centered care for others;
  • creating more small businesses; and
  • building aesthetically pleasing, functional, and environmentally conscious homes for the homeless.

The Aging Myth: Natural Cellular Renewal

On 16 July 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Our DNA is designed to renew our cells, not age them. The idea that we must age is a myth, influenced by media programming and a lack of essential nutrients, combined with exposure to excess environmental toxins.

What we eat and apply to our skin can promote cellular renewal or accelerate ageing. However, mainstream media, educational systems, and the companies that create toxins and put them into products do not educate us about this.

Natural Regeneration Timelines

  • Skin: Renews every 3 months
  • Blood: Renews every 6 months
  • Lungs: Renew every year
  • Liver: Recovers in 18 months
  • Brain: Restores its cells every 3 years
  • Skeleton: Fully regenerates in 10 years
  • Muscles and tissues: Regenerate in 15 years
  • Personality: Renews every 7 years.

Causes of Premature Aging

Nutrient-Depleted Soil:
Intensive farming by large agribusinesses has stripped essential minerals from the soil, leading to nutrient-poor food.

Processed Foods:
Many foods and drinks are highly processed and contain toxic additives and packaging, contributing to nutritional deficiencies and toxicity

Chemical-Loaded Skincare:
The skin, our largest organ, absorbs chemicals from popular soaps and lotions. Products from supermarkets and pharmacies, including perfumes, body sprays, and deodorants, often contain harmful chemicals that disrupt hormones and may cause cancer.

Understanding Aging

Ageing is not dictated by our DNA. Instead, it is a belief perpetuated by the idea that people naturally die of old age. In reality, our DNA continuously renews our cells, even in the elderly.

This natural process can be supported by eating homemade food from local, organic vegetables, fruits, meats, and herbs, whether home-grown or bought from small, independent farms, shops, or markets.

By being mindful of what we consume and apply to our skin, we can take control of our health and the ageing process.

Influences on Aging

Negative Thinking:
Negative thoughts, low energy states, and emotional instability can accelerate ageing. These issues can be addressed through Shamanic Healing.

Belief Systems:
Removing the self-limiting belief that “it is normal for our bodies to age and break down” allows the body to self-heal when supported by natural foods and skin products.

Both of these influences can be addressed with Shamanic Techniques in a tailored combination which may include the removal of Spiritual Parasites/Entities which may be influencing behaviour; Soul Retrieval to return stolen and lost life-force energy; changing negative beliefs to positive ones to support personal growth; and the removal of negative energy and blockages through Shamanic Extraction.

What is Clairaudience?

On 14 July 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Clairaudient messages are communications received through clairaudience, a form of extrasensory perception (ESP) or psychic ability where an individual hears voices, sounds, or messages from the spiritual realm or higher planes of consciousness. Clairaudience means “clear hearing” and is one of the major psychic abilities.

For me, clairaudience developed with fragments of long-forgotten or unfamiliar songs popping into my head when I was washing up or in the shower.  If I can remember it for long enough I research the lyrics online and look for the messages. I have enjoyed listening to songs that I either don’t recall hearing or have long forgotten and I have felt supported by the messages they contain.

Characteristics of Clairaudient Messages

The notion of repetition is a characteristic for me: if I’m in the kitchen cooking I might not have time to write the lyrics down, and then when I’m walking the dog I’ll realise that I’ve forgotten.  Then a couple of days later it will come back to me and I make sure that I write it down and look it up immediately before it goes away again.

Internal Sound: These messages are often heard inside the mind, similar to thought but distinct in that they seem to come from an outside source.

External Sound: Less commonly, the messages may be heard externally, as if someone is speaking aloud to the person.

Variety of Sources: The messages can come from various sources, such as spirit guides, angels, deceased loved ones, or other spiritual entities.

Clarity and Repetition: Clairaudient messages are typically clear and distinct. Sometimes, they may be repeated to ensure the message is understood.

Guidance and Insight: These messages often provide guidance, insight, warnings, or information that can help the individual in their personal or spiritual journey.

How Clairaudience Can Manifest

We all have different experiences of clairaudience, so there is no set expectation.  Music is the only form I receive, but there are others.

Random Words or Phrases
Hearing random words or phrases that seem to pop into the mind without any apparent source.

Music or Sounds
Hearing music, sounds, or tones that have no physical source.

Names and Numbers
Receiving specific names or numbers that hold significance.

Conversations
Hearing parts of conversations or dialogues, either within the mind or externally.

Developing Clairaudience

I didn’t set out to develop clairaudience; it came to me later in life after fifteen years of mediation and a plant medicine ceremony which really brought it through as a mode of communication from my spirit guides/higher self.

Meditation:
Regular meditation can help quiet the mind and make it easier to discern clairaudient messages.

Listening Exercises:
Practice active listening in daily life to enhance auditory perception.

Trust and Openness:
Trusting in the messages received and remaining open to the experience without scepticism.

Journaling:
Keeping a journal of any messages, sounds, or voices heard can help in recognizing patterns and understanding the messages more clearly.

Distinguishing Clairaudience from Mental Health Issues

Clairaudient messages are a form of spiritual communication received through the sense of hearing. They can provide valuable insights, guidance, and support. Developing this ability involves practice, openness, and discernment, ensuring that the messages received are for the highest good.

It is important to distinguish between clairaudient experiences and symptoms of mental health conditions, such as auditory hallucinations associated with disorders like schizophrenia. Clairaudient messages are typically positive, guiding, and constructive, whereas auditory hallucinations in mental health conditions can be distressing, negative, and disruptive.

Of course, addictions may be the source of the problem such as taking street drugs,  drinking too much alcohol or taking too much plant medicine.  Pharmaceutical drugs can also disrupt mental health but you must discuss this with your doctor rather than abruptly stopping the medication which may cause other problems.

Shamanic Healing

If you are experiencing distressing experiences that are in the realm of mental health issues, a Shamanic Healing Distact Session may help.  It could be a Spiritual Parasite or Entity that is controlling an aspect of your behaviour.  Such entities attach via tears in the energy body created by trauma allowing negative influences to come in and take over.  Rose uses Shamanic Techniques to remove Spiritual Parasites and negative energy and change the agreements you made that have allowed them to resonate with you so that they cannot return.

The Narcissistic Abuse Cycle

On 11 July 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

The cycle of narcissistic abuse is a repetitive and destructive pattern of behaviour often experienced in relationships with narcissists. This cycle typically consists of three main phases: idealization, devaluation, and discard.  In my experience, these phases are common to all narcissists including mothers, spouses, partners, friends, group leaders, and work colleagues.

Understanding this cycle can help you to recognize and break free from abusive relationships. Here is a detailed explanation of each phase:

Idealization Phase

During this phase, the narcissist appears charming, attentive, and loving, creating a “honeymoon” period in the relationship. This stage is also known as “love bombing” because the narcissist overwhelms you with affection, praise, and gifts.  The narcissist may flatter, shower with compliments, and make grand gestures.  If you have a history of feeling undervalued this makes you feel valued, special, and deeply connected to the narcissist, creating a strong emotional bond.  It feels wonderful and is intoxicating.

Devaluation Phase

Once you are emotionally invested, the narcissist will gradually shift towards devaluation. The narcissist begins to criticize, belittle, and manipulate, eroding self-esteem and sense of self-worth.  The narcissist may engage in verbal abuse, gaslighting, passive-aggressive behaviour, and blame-shifting.  You may feel confused, anxious, and worthless, often questioning your reality and blaming yourself for the narcissist’s behaviour.

Discard Phase

In the discard phase, the narcissist abruptly ends the relationship or distances themselves emotionally, leaving you feeling abandoned and devastated. This phase can be temporary, with the narcissist returning to restart the cycle. The narcissist may ghost, withdraw affection, or abruptly end the relationship causing intense emotional pain, confusion, and a sense of betrayal.

Hoovering

After the discard phase, the narcissist may attempt to re-enter your life, a tactic known as “hoovering.” This is often done to regain control and restart the cycle of abuse.  The narcissist may apologize, make promises to change, or employ manipulative tactics to draw you back causing hope for change so that you re-enter the relationship, only to repeat the cycle.

Breaking the Cycle

Recognizing the cycle of narcissistic abuse is crucial for breaking free. Here are some steps to consider:

  • Education: Learn about narcissistic personality disorder and abuse patterns to understand what you are experiencing.
  • Feelings: Tune into your feelings and if something feels wrong, pay attention.
  • Boundaries: Set and enforce strong personal boundaries to protect yourself from further harm.
  • Support: Seek support from trusted friends, family, or professional counsellors who can offer guidance and validation.
  • Self-Care: Focus on self-care and rebuilding your self-esteem and sense of self-worth.
  • No Contact: Consider implementing a “no contact” rule to fully detach from the narcissist and prevent further manipulation.

Shamanic Healing

Narcissistic abuse is often an entrenched pattern, evolving from early childhood experiences where we develop beliefs and agreements about ourselves and others.  This could take the form of “I’m not good enough” which has far-reaching consequences for people in their lives, holding them back from experiencing their true potential.  It may stop them from applying to college to do a course, sabotage them from attending an interview for their dream job, or put them in a state of depression where they don’t want to socialise.  The pattern will repeat from early childhood caregivers through friendships, work colleagues, and partners/spouses.

Talking about our problem in psychotherapy can give us a cognitive understanding of the situation, but it cannot change our programmed behaviour on a subconscious level.  Shamanic healing can break the trauma bonds with the abuser by changing the agreements that have caused them to seek a detrimental relationship.  By shifting to “I am good enough” we can step into a new manifestation of life with a new job, home, and hobbies.

Soul Retrieval will enable you to get the life-force energy back that was stolen from you, which is a very empowering experience.  This gives solid confidence which is not in ego.  Energy Body Healing will seal up the holes in your energy body so that the soul parts cannot leave again.  Spiritual Parasite / Entity Removal will remove any external negative forces that may be controlling you without you knowing, such as causing you to drink too much which leads to emotional outbursts that the entity feeds off leaving you drained. The removal of negative energy and blockages through Shamanic Extraction will help you to feel refreshed, and more energetic and give you a positive frame of mind.

What is the Jezebel Spirit?

On 28 June 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

The Jezebel Spirit can be seen in all social groups and is particularly prevalent in the various Spiritual communities based on the ‘love and light’ model.  It is most obvious in the self-appointed leaders of these groups who often claim to receive ‘insights’ and ‘downloads’ from their guides but don’t have the discernment and wisdom to see that they are from a negative influence.

Key Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit include:

Lack of Authenticity:
– The individual being controlled by the Jezebel Spirit and comes across as insincere and false.  They say what they think you need to hear to do their bidding.

Manipulation and Control:
– A Jezebel spirit is often associated with controlling and manipulative behaviours. Individuals under this influence may use deceit, flattery, and seduction to achieve their goals and maintain power over others.

Rebellion and Idolatry:
– The Jezebel spirit is linked to rebellion against authority, especially spiritual authority and Natural Law.  They look to psychics on YouTube for guidance and lead people away from a true connection to the Creator.

Seduction and Immorality:
– Sexual immorality and seduction are common traits attributed to the Jezebel spirit. This includes physical acts and leading others into moral compromise through charm and allure.

False Prophecy and Deception:
– Individuals influenced by a Jezebel spirit may falsely claim to have spiritual insights or prophetic gifts. They use these claims to deceive and mislead others, often causing division and strife within communities.

Biblical Reference
The concept is primarily derived from the story of Queen Jezebel in the books of 1 Kings and 2 Kings. Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, promoted the worship of Baal and Asherah in Israel, opposed the prophet Elijah, and orchestrated the murder of Naboth to seize his vineyard.

Modern Usage
In contemporary usage, the term Jezebel Spirit explains behaviours that disrupt communities, families, and relationships. In Christian teachings, it’s considered a spirit that needs to be confronted and cast out through prayer, spiritual warfare, and adherence to biblical principles.

Shamanic Healing

Shamanic Healing can assist both the victims and the perpetrators.

Rose can assist victims with Shamanic Techniques to extract negative intrusions, seal the energy body, get to the root cause of the problem, erase any detrimental subconscious programmes, retrieve lost soul parts and stolen life-force energy, and create a new way of being so that clients can shift their relationship dynamics and enjoy their lives.

Although it is unlikely that the Jezabel spirit will allow its host to either seek out or accept any healing, Rose can perform entity removal and the extraction of spiritual parasites for those who accept that they have a problem.

What is Narcissistic Abuse?

On 28 June 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Narcissistic abuse refers to the psychological, emotional, and sometimes physical maltreatment inflicted by individuals with narcissistic traits or narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). This type of abuse often leaves deep, lasting impacts on victims. Here are some key aspects of narcissistic abuse:

Characteristics of Narcissistic Abuse

Manipulation

  • Gaslighting: This is a form of manipulation where the abuser makes the victim doubt their reality, memory, or perceptions. It involves lying, denying facts, and twisting the truth to make the victim question their sanity​​.
  • Triangulation: The narcissist might bring in a third party to reinforce their perspective or to create jealousy and rivalry, further destabilizing the victim​.

Emotional Abuse

  • Devaluation: After initially idealizing the victim, the narcissist begins to criticize, belittle, and demean them, stripping away their self-esteem and self-worth​.
  • Silent Treatment: Ignoring or refusing to communicate with the victim as a form of punishment or control​.

Control and Domination

  • Isolation: Narcissistic abusers often isolate their victims from friends, family, and support systems to maintain control and dependency​​.
  • Financial Control: They may control the victim’s finances, making it difficult for them to gain independence​​.

Psychological Manipulation

  • Love Bombing: Initially overwhelming the victim with affection, flattery, and attention to quickly gain their trust and affection​​.
  • Projection: Accusing the victim of the very behaviours and faults the narcissists exhibit themselves.

Physical and Sexual Abuse:

  • Though less common, narcissistic abuse can also involve physical and sexual violence. This aspect of abuse serves to further dominate and control the victim​​.

Impacts on Victims

Psychological Effects

  • Trauma and PTSD: Victims often experience symptoms of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including anxiety, flashbacks, and severe emotional distress​​.
  • Low Self-Esteem: Continuous devaluation erodes the victim’s self-esteem and self-worth, making it difficult for them to trust their own judgment​.

Emotional and Social Effects:

  • Isolation: The victim may become isolated from their support network, feeling alone and misunderstood​.
  • Depression and Anxiety: Chronic exposure to narcissistic abuse can lead to severe depression and anxiety​.

How You Can Heal:

Rose can assist you with recovering from narcissistic abuse with a Shamanic Healing Session using Shamanic Techniques that will:

  • Remove negative intrusions and energy;
  • Replace lost or stolen life-force energy;
  • Discover the source of abuse;
  • Heal the original trauma;
  • Erase the programmed responses;
  • Create new empowering behaviours;
  • Seal the energy body to prevent further leakage of energy or intrusions.

Spirit may include additional information and guidance tailored to your experience and healing process. More than one session may be required.

Unmet Needs & Behaviour

On 21 May 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing
In my experience, some people consider the voicing of an alternative opinion as an attack, no matter how respectful the delivery. This is because they are viewing the world through a lens of distortion based on negative experiences from the past.  This anchors them in the past and prevents them from being able to truly experience the present.

They are on an automatic pilot, repeatedly running an old programme that makes them unable to see things differently. These programmes are formed from experiences in childhood, with negative experiences from family members often being the strongest.  So if a child has an over-critical mother they will be the most damaged, causing them to be frequently triggered throughout their lives.

The most common negative programme is “I’m not good enough”, which wreaks havoc because it takes away our confidence in all aspects of our lives. When this program is running the ego will play a trick on their mind, causing the belief that everyone they meet will see them as a failure. If they are in a leadership position, either running their own business or social group, the false idea that everyone holds a negative opinion about every action they take will create some bizarre situations.

Their inner critic will bombard them with negative self-talk, priming them to being over-sensitive. Then, if a co-worker or associate expresses an alternative idea or view it will be taken as a personal attack and instantly trigger a robust defence mechanism. The ego has to preserve its sense of self at all costs, even though it is a distortion. As such it will start aggressive outbursts coloured by black-and-white thinking where they are always right and the other is wrong. The wrong person will be ordered to shut up or asked to leave creating unnecessary upset for everyone involved. This is particularly damaging for those souls who have problems expressing themselves due to throat chakra blockage, which triggers them back into self-doubt.

Over time, people will learn to keep away, but there is a solution to break these destructive patterns.

The Shamanic Spirit Medicine Healing Method is very good at resolving behavioural issues because it is conducted in Shamanic Conciousness, outside the restrictions of time and space. The healer goes on a Shamanic Journey using the beat of the drum to put them into theta state where they can access the power for healing on behalf of the client.

This system differs from the offerings of most contemporary Shamanic Healers in that not only does it remove blockages and negative energy, heal the energy body, and return lost life-force energy, but it also includes a technique that gets to the root cause of the problem, preventing it from recurring by reprogramming the subconscious.

By accessing Spirit Mind we can go into the limbic part of the brain to erase disempowering beliefs and consciously select positive ones to make permanent changes to the automatic operating system.  This process lays new foundations for more positive belief systems that will change instinctual response patterns and drive a behaviour change, assisting the achievement of better outcomes in all areas of life.

Rose can work with you face-to-face or remotely via distance sessions, which are just as effective.  She provides Shamanic Healing at The Centre of Complementary Medicine 13b Dragon Street, Petersfield, Hampshire GU31 4JN. For an appointment please telephone 01730 231655.

Clair Audience – Messages from our Guides

On 7 April 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

I recently had the pleasurable experience of a song coming into my head which gave me messages about my current state of mind. I hadn’t listened to Joe Jackson’s Steppin’ Out since 2020, when it first came to me as a Clair Audient message. I had forgotten about it until it popped into my head again whilst I was washing up and I had to wrack my brain to remember who wrote it. It brought tears to my eyes once again as it beautifully addressed some recent personal issues.

You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJwt2dxx9yg

During 2019 and 2020 I had several experiences where a song was playing in my head that I hadn’t heard before and when I researched the lyrics there was always a message relating to my life at that time.

The development of Clair Audience happened to me in early 2019, after having had a profound plant medicine experience.  I later realised that the medicine had fully opened my Crown Chakra and activated my Clair Senses.

Clair Audience is the ability to hear sound through the inner ear of the mind and can be used as a channel of communication by our spirit guides or higher selves.

It is important to distinguish between music playing in the head as a message and the common phenomenon of ‘earworms’. These usually happen when we hear an annoying track on the radio whilst in a taxi or shop only for a snippet of it to return later to torture us, particularly before sleep.

Clair Audience was not related to the earworm phenomenon for me, as at that time I lived rurally and rarely entered places where music was playing. Additionally, I had not been listening to contemporary music regularly for at least ten years; I had mainly listened to podcasts and YouTube videos for research purposes and some choral or classical music. This was the opposite of how I was up to my early 30s when I had been an avid fan of many genres, particularly dance and house music.

Initially, the songs that came to my mind were fragments of songs related to the music I heard in my teens, during the early 1990s, which had been a challenging time for me. The lyrics related to my current emotional state and took me back on a journey through time to the events that had originally caused the emotions, enabling me to heal by releasing the sadness locked in my heart.

Sometimes the songs would be new to me; ones that I hadn’t consciously listened to as a child, teenager, or young adult. These were much harder to work with as they would start with only a couple of lyrics. I would try to focus on them to get enough for a lyric search. Then I focussed on hearing a melody to identify it from all of the similar tracks on YouTube. But the research came together very quickly and I soon found the complete lyrics and song.

I was drawn to repeating these songs over and over to really hear the messages that were being delivered by my guides and that practice delivered a beautiful form of healing.

Boundaries

On 10 January 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Clients are usually given homework to complete after a Shamanic Healing Session. The setting of boundaries is one that often comes up after an extraction or soul retrieval to ensure the problem doesn’t return.

If we set an agreement around the event that created the Soul Loss and Intrusion, we can find that there are repeating patterns of behaviour that are difficult to change.

By changing the agreement to something positive, we can enable new ways of thinking and acting that align with our true selves and ultimately experience better outcomes in our relationships.

We will find it easier to confidently set boundaries with others so that soul loss doesn’t occur again through negative behaviour patterns.

My work is about changing behaviour to enable clients to move forward with their lives; not to create returning customers!

Shamanic Healing – Talk and Taster Journey

On 1 January 2024 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

The Centre of Complementary Medicine has moved to a beautiful new building in Dragon Street, Petersfield.  To celebrate the opening practitioners are hosting an open day giving talks, taster sessions, and demonstrations about their healing modalities.

on Saturday 13th January 2024
from 10:00 until 12:00

at The Centre of Complementary Medicine
13a Dragon Street, Petersfield GU31 4JN
https://www.thecentre-petersfield.co.uk/

I will be talking about the ancient healing art of Shamanism and how it can support your health, vitality, and well-being. Participants can also take part in a Shamanic Journey to connect with the web of life. No need to book – just turn up on the day. The opening ceremony will start at 10:00.

About Shamanic Healing

I conduct Shamanic Journey sessions with a traditional drumming method used by indigenous cultures for over 50,000 years to heal physical illnesses, clear trauma, and change unwanted patterns of behaviour.  Through the repetitive beat of the drum, I access shamanic consciousness using it as a tool to shift the deep, subconscious agreements we hold about ourselves.

Healing occurs by restoring the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic body to balance and wholeness, which in turn heals the soul and spirit.  This promotes personal transformation and empowerment, enabling clients to reach their full potential.

Each session includes a tailored combination of Power Animal Retrieval, Divination, Soul Retrieval, Energy Body Healing, Changing Agreements, Psychopomp, and removing negative energy and blockages through Shamanic Extraction. Shamanic Healing can be performed face-to-face or remotely via distance sessions, which are just as effective.

I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and fully insured. I have completed over 120 hours of training during my Shamanic Apprenticeship with Scott Silverston, founder of Shamanic Spirit Medicine.

Genetics: MTHFR & B-Vitamin Deficiency

On 15 November 2023 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

About MTHFR

People with MTHFR gene mutations cannot process synthetic B vitamins. Diagnosis is via a saliva test which tests your genes. If you feel too overwhelmed to do this test Dr Ben Lynch, an expert on MTHFR, says you can just take the methylated B12 and Folate along with a good methylated B complex and see if helps your anxiety and depression within three to six months.

MTHFR may increase the risk of:

  • Learning disorders;
  • Mood disorders;
  • Fibromyalgia;
  • Neurodegeneration;
  • Heart disease;
  • Digestive issues;
  • Addictive behaviours;
  • Down Syndrome;
  • Autoimmunity;
  • Chronic Fatigue;
  • Allergies;
  • Hormonal issues;
  • Food sensitivities;
  • Sleep disturbance;
  • Anxiety; and
  • Depression.

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing is relatively new and, as such, there is very little information available on the impact that damaged genes will have on the way the body functions. Everyone inherits two copies of each gene, one from their mother and one from their father. If you have two defective genes you are homozygous and you may experience worse symptoms than heterozygous people who have only one.

Remember that mutations mean that there is a ‘risk’ – it’s not always a certainty or a diagnosis. Some companies offer specific genetic tests to access your entire genome by doing a saliva test. The advantage of doing your whole genome is that you can find out about many other genetic issues, not just MTHFR. You can then upload your results to a site like Livewello and search in the sandbox for individual rs codes (eg rs225014).

B12

Low B12 has been linked with depression and anxiety. Get your Active B12 tested by blood test either via your GP or the Medichecks finger prick home test. Ask your GP for a printout of your results and check them yourself – your result should be in the upper quarter of the range.

Supplements to Support MTHFR Mutations

Dr Ben Lynch, an MTHFR expert, says that if you have depression or anxiety and you can’t afford the 23andMe test you can supplement with the methylated versions of B12 and Folic Acid and see if you feel better.

The methylated version of B12 is Methylcobalamin. https://yoganutrition.co.uk/products/liquid-b12-mix

The methylated version of Folic Acid is Folate or Folinic Acid.

You can increase your levels with B12 injections. It is best taken sublingually by sucking B12 lozenges, or using a spray.

Always take individual B12 alongside a good B-Vitamin Complex.

A good methylated complex is Jarrow B Right. I take one capsule in the morning and one at lunch.

B vitamins are water-soluble which means the excess is excreted through urine so you can’t overdose.

Take B supplements in a split dose at breakfast and lunch to give you energy throughout the day. Keep a diary and note down when you started the supplement and how you feel.

Alchemising the Ego through the Seven Sins

On 25 December 2021 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Alchemy

At its basic level of meaning, the word alchemy relates to physical matter and is commonly understood to be the scientific process of converting base metals into gold.  This notion is based on the human egos of greed and sloth, whereby one seeks to generate vast fortunes with minimal effort.  History tells us that many men have spent entire lifetimes selfishly seeking the philosopher’s stone for personal gain.  This behaviour translates into contemporary society as competition for the easiest and most well-paid jobs, which creates our own personal hell based on lack and fear.

Transmutation

This third-dimensional notion of alchemy is in contrast to the higher, spiritual meaning, which aids personal growth work and soul development.  By learning to transmute fear into love and transform ego into soul, we can achieve self-mastery and experience heaven on Earth in the fifth dimension.

Ego

The Archontic matrix control system, as identified by the pre-Christian Gnostics who sought knowledge through research, holds at its core the manipulation of the human ego as the ultimate means of control.  In contemporary society, the ego manifests in behaviours symbolised by the seven deadly sins: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride.  Humanity is programmed by society to act in ego, which perpetuates our enslavement in hell, preventing us from ascending to a higher form of experience.

  • Advertising plays on lust to subjugate the feminine, whereby a woman is simply a vessel for male pleasure, which diminishes the power of the divine feminine.
  • The food industry plays on emotional insecurity to promote gluttony, whereby inner lack is filled with junk food to provide a short-term dopamine hit.
  • The focus on the scarcity of resources causes us to stockpile resources and wealth at the expense of others.
  • The education system takes away our enquiring mind by spoon-feeding us facts without any effort on our part to find the truth for ourselves, creating an attitude of sloth whereby someone else will solve our problems.
  • Newspapers and news programmes pitch groups against each other to create an environment of wrath or anger, which prevents unity and ultimately freedom from the system.
  • The media plays on our propensity to envy by encouraging us to ‘keep up the the Joneses’. If our friends boast about their expensive new purchases, this motivates us to competitively consume more.
  • Pride prevents us from working in service to others and closes off the benevolence the universe can offer those who live in true humility.

Self Awareness

Gnosticism teaches us that ascension can only occur once the ego is eliminated. However, there is another belief that we cannot be expected to totally eliminate the ego as we need it on a basic level for self-protection; therefore, it should be observed and controlled. We can use self-observation to monitor ourselves for egoic behaviour with the aim of holding it in awareness as opposed to automatically acting on it through programmed behaviour, which would leave us open to manipulation.

Transmutation of Ego

Once we have awareness of how the ego is playing out in our lives, we can work towards the elimination of each of the seven sins through transmutation.  We can identify egoic behaviour and replace it with the seven virtues: prudence, justice, temperance, courage (or fortitude), faith, hope, and charity.

Lust = Chastity (purity, abstinence)
Gluttony = Temperance (humanity)
Greed = Charity (sacrifice, generosity, benevolence)
Sloth = Diligence (persistence)
Wrath (Anger) = Patience (forgiveness)
Envy = Kindness (compassion)
Pride = Humility (bravery, modesty)

5D vs 3D Living

It is possible for a human holding love in their hearts to exist in a different dimension from a neighbour living in fear.  Both live on the same street, but one experiences abundance in all aspects of their life and the other experiences seemingly constant misfortune.  The woman in heart-centred service to others is given rewards from the universe that fulfil all her needs: nourishing friendships, an income from work that she enjoys, and a happy home.

In contrast, the man next door, who consumes the media and lives in fear, lives selfishly and receives instant karma.  This gives him the challenging experiences that may appear on the surface to be misfortune, but are purposefully sent by the universe to assist with his soul development.  He may experience redundancy from the job he hates, loss of the partner he doesn’t love, disease due to his addictions to sugar and alcohol, or loss of his home due to lack of gratitude.  Through these trials, he will learn about love, service to others, forgiveness, and humility, but it might take thousands of lifetimes to reach completion.

Shamanic Healing

For anyone living on Earth in bodily form to say that they are not living in ego, to a greater or lesser extent, is in a state of self-deception and denial.  We are here on Earth to learn how to overcome our triggered ego responses.  This can be done by addressing the wound that is creating the ego.  Childhood trauma can create deep wounds that are protected by certain repeating patterns of behaviour.  Shamanic Healing can reach the core of these wounds and reprogram our limbic system to create more positive attitudes and ways of being.  Once we have overcome triggered ego responses, we can be aware of how the ego can protect us by setting firm boundaries.

Natural Healing After Hysterectomy

On 22 September 2021 0 Comments - Shamanic Healing

Having had two months of prolonged bleeding during menstruation I ended up in A&E at QA in Cosham for urine retention. I remained in hospital for a week on a catheter whilst having two blood transfusions and various investigations. A CT scan showed an 11cm x 11cm fibroid attached down one side to the muscle core of my uterus, which had been sitting on my bladder causing the urine retention. I was advised to have an emergency hysterectomy due to the risk of further bleeding. They were so busy I had to wait five agonising weeks while taking blood clotting medication to stop me from bleeding out. It was a very stressful time. My haemoglobin was still low before the operation so I had to have another blood transfusion the day before surgery for them to be able perform the operation. Fortunately my blood loss during the operation was minimal so another blood transfusion was not required but due to issues with my bowel I remained in hospital for another week.

Here are my post operative experiences which I treated naturally.

Homeopathy

I spoke to a homeopath at Helios (a homeopathic remedies company who can be contacted on 01892 537254) and asked her which remedies she recommended for hysterectomy. She gave me a combination remedy for surgery to help bruising and inflammation which contains Arnica, Bellis Perennis, Calendula, Hypericum, and Staphysagria. All of these can be found as separate remedies in the Helios Basic Kit but I chose to buy the combination bottle so that I didn’t have to take my kit into hospital. I also took a remedy called Anaesthetic to clear the general anaesthetic out of my system (which isn’t in the Basic Kit).

I started the remedies on day two in hospital according to the directions and I came off the painkillers after around eight days which I put down to having had the remedy and the binding. My swelling also went down during the second week which can also be due to the help of both the homeopathy and the binding.

Gut Issues

The painkillers I was given in hospital were in tablet form: Tramadol, Codine, and Paracetamol and these made my stomach upset so I was given anti nausea medication. I started to eat again but I found the hospital food very heavy. After two days I ended up vomiting 4 litres of liquid over an 8 hour period – everything that I had eaten since the operation. This meant I had to be on a drip for a day.

I later discovered that during the operation the bowel is moved up and an out of the way and that this causes aggravation, which is normal. I wasn’t aware of this in advance and I believe that I should have been put on more simple foods to give my bowl chance to recover. Instead they put me on normal food and laxatives which didn’t work for me.

I eventually went home on day six where I gave myself bone broth and pureed fruit for a few days, followed by vegan yoghurt and banana. I then introduced Yorkshire puddings into which I poured the bone broth, and organic soups. I was craving carbs so I bought french fries which were thin and soft and also garlic french bread which was soft and easy to digest.

I stopped the laxatives when I returned home and instead took a table spoon of organic Flax Oil every morning. You can also take a table spoon of Psyllium Husks in water if extra help is required but I didn’t need this as I soon started having regular bowel movements.

After a week I went onto muesli for breakfast, soup for lunch, and a normal dinner such as chicken with rice. I haven’t had any further bowel issues.

I would recommend drinking bone broth to heal the gut and only eating simple foods such as soup and pureed fruit for the first week of recovery, particularly the first few days.

Binding

I tried belly binding after the birth of my second child by c-section which involved wearing a corset to keep the abdomen supported which in turn helped the incision to heal. I bought three step-in/pull-up corsets from John Lewis so that I could wash them and fortunately I kept them. A hysterectomy involves removal of the womb causing a gap to occur which can cause problems for the surrounding organs. Binding causes gentle compression that holds muscle and ligaments in place and which may help the organs to gently shift into a new position. I waited until my incision was healed and dry before wearing them. If found it helpful for lessening the pain of daily activities, the abdominal swelling reduced within a couple of days of wearing it. I intend to wear them for six to eight weeks which is the estimated recovery period for a hysterectomy.

Shamanic Healing

I asked a Shaman friend of mine to perform a removal of negative energy and a soul retrieval for my by distance session while I was in the hospital. She successfully removed a small amount of ‘grey’ energy from the space that was left where my womb was removed and she also returned some soul parts which gave me more power and energy. I found this power useful when the staff were badgering me to leave hospital on day two. I told them in the afternoon that I was in pain and that I didn’t feel confident leaving. I refused to leave and by the evening I had started to vomit so I’m glad that I stood my ground as I would never have managed fourteen vomits which totalled four litres on my own at home.

Cranial Osteopathy

I had already been seeing Josephine Luard at The Centre of Complementary Medicine in Petersfield for an ongoing neck problem so I understood the benefits of the treatment for the whole body. I saw her two weeks after the operation, and booked in for a week after that, and then fortnightly, and finally monthly. She was able to assist with adjusting the organs and the spinal fluid to support my recovery. She also helped to bring my emotions up to be dealt with and after the first session I had quite a big grieving process for the loss of my womb. I would recommend this treatment post operatively and after child birth.

Acupuncture

I have received regular acupuncture for hormonal balancing over the last ten years, which I have found to be very effective. I went to The Centre of Complementary Medicine in Petersfield to see Tamara Kircher on the weeks when I wasn’t having cranial with Josephine. After one session my liver had cleared and my concentration dramatically improved. I also had a lot of release of emotion which had been blocked in my womb space and after two sessions the feelings of grief gradually subsided.

Shamanic Journey Work

One of the biggest problems I had after the surgery was the inability to meditate or do my Shamanic journey work. My connection to my higher self, spirit guides, and the Father had been cut. My teacher, Scott Silverston, described opiate painkillers as being like a dark hood over the head, blocking the crown chakra. I attempted meditation and repeated the visits to my spirit guides every day and eventually managed to get back into my routine after a week of very dedicated practice. I was shocked to hear from Scott that the disconnection I felt after my surgery is how most people feel on a daily basis.

Sexual Issues

It is standard procedure at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth to remove the cervix during the hysterectomy. I requested to keep my cervix because I had read that it leads to shortening of the vagina which can cause sexual problems for some women. I’m glad that I did because after the procedure my consultant phone me to ask how I was getting on. I asked her what problems might occur and she said ‘sexual problems’ but that I wouldn’t be affected because ‘I kept my cervix’. It begs the question why they remove the cervix as standard if they know that it causes problems? My advice is to read up on this issue and to ask to keep it if you don’t want to take the risk of having your sex life affected.
