I’m Carla Meeske

The term Shaman is a word from a Tungusic language (eastern Russia), and applied globally to native spiritual people. 
Shamanic practitioners cross between the worlds of everyday reality to the spiritual non-ordinary reality, to bring healing and teaching from compassionate Spirits, for themselves, for others and for their community. 

Shamanism is ancient and universal. All of us are decedents of people who lived in shamanic indigenous cultures. The shamanic world view recognizes Spirit in all things, and sees all things in nature as alive, connected and “equal”. 

In shamanism, all people have direct access to Spirit for guidance and healing. No intermediary person (priest, guru, etc) is required. 

Our Spirit Guides are compassionate, loving beings. They know us and they want to help us be our best, healthy, happy and whole. 

You are remembering this work. If you believe in past lives (which is not necessary to do this work) you may see that you are simply remembering this work from your shamanic practice in past lifetimes. If you do not believe in past lives, then realize that you are remembering the wisdom of your collective unconscious, (or whatever 
model works for you to explain continuity in the universe). 

The Shamanic Journey is our method. We use drums to carry us across the veil, no drugs or plant medicine. This is you and your Spirit Allies, remembering who you are, on your sacred path. 

Whether the healing session is for a cat, dog, human or horse (etc), the healing session has the same basic flow. Our first step is to set the intention for the shamanic journey. We discuss what you want help with, and what you want to see improved, for your animals and/or for you. Your intention is our roadmap through the spirit word, through non-ordinary reality.

We then begin our shamanic journey. Carla enters her sacred space in the spirit world, and calls in the Spirits, from the four directions, above and below. A Spirit guide helps escort the client into the sacred space, and Grandmother Sunflower, Carla’s lead spirit guide, welcomes them, Spirit to Spirit. She has heard the intention already, but I may repeat it for clarity and focus.

In animal healing sessions we begin with animal communication, getting permission to help, and learning how the animal feels, what they want and so on. With people, that is already established in our pre-journey conversation.

Our healing session then proceeds through four core steps: Diagnosis, Extraction and Transmutation, Power Infusion and Guidance. Carla speaks everything out loud in a poetic way, making it easy for you to follow along and enter the shamanic journey with her. While the journey will follow the four step framework, the variations and possibilities are infinite! The Spirits will go where they need to, to help you with the intention you set.

We conclude with your questions, direct to Grandmother Sunflower and the other Spirit Guides who have performed your healing. Carla stays in the shamanic journey trance for these questions. When we are finished, we thank the Spirits and return all of us to our physical bones.

We then debrief, and Carla emails you a link to the recording with a computer generated transcription.

How can you find your Spirit Animals, Teachers and Guides? Two ways!

Carla will introduce you to them in a shamanic healing session. This makes it easier for you to connect with them in your meditative practice. She can also show you our way entering the Spirit World and taking a Shamanic Journey, or she will send you the link to Sacred Roots.

You can take your own shamanic journey and meet them yourself! SpiritHealer School of Shamanism offers a free class that makes this easy. It’s called Sacred Roots, and it is the first shamanic journey we teach. Our personal Sacred Tree is our entry into every journey, ceremony and shamanic practice. Sacred Roots is the gateway of our shamanic path – it is simple and powerful. Try it! Its free!
