As we prepare for the next Awakening the Healer Within Teleretreat (www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html), I've received a lot of questions, and this article is my attempt to answer them in the most direct way possible.
Awakening your Inner Healer or Shaman is a spirit influenced journey of awakening to the ancient wisdom and encoded ability that is crying out for a voice and eyes, and attempting to initiate a more conscious presence in your every day life. What was once reserved for a person who went through years of initiations, near death experiences, and for some, a complete turning over of themselves to a teacher’s specific way of viewing and working with these ways, is now opening to a new generation of healers.
The Doors Are Opening
Many people’s abilities are opening spontaneously, and often create some initial disturbances until integrated and understood. It is an important time to monitor ego and navigate and integrate the life experiences that are forcing (and sourcing) a complete overhaul of belief systems and past conditioning that are non-empowering and self-destructive, as opposed to self-enhancing.
Just look at how much we have opened to energy healing modalities in the last decade. The common conversation is shifting. Science is offering evidence of how consciousness and energy impact one’s ability to heal. At the same time, we are being challenged to believe more deeply, and have faith in (and act upon), the unseen, absent of scientific proof and the external validation that has become so important to so many of us.
Healer Heal Thyself – Transcending Archetypal Influence
We transcend the archetype of the wounded healer and all that does not give way to the full potential that exists when we heal our own stuff. He have compassion for the archetype of the controlling and hierarchical teacher, whose identity is largely defined by a need for power and control, and who can fall prey to behaviors and teachings that are abusive and disempowering. We give thanks for the example they have given to us, for they have invited us to better define who we want to be - and don't want to be - in this worldly existence.
Brent and I believe that we are teachers of masters, not masters of teachers. Our lives are dedicated to sharing our gifts in such a way that offers pathways back to self-empowerment, self-healing and personal accountability.
YOU CAN…
You can understand how to translate the often mystical nature of non-traditional healing and shamanism and apply principles and practices to your every day life and the challenges and opportunities that arise.
You can learn to expand, at will, into higher levels of consciousness at multiple dimensions within the physical and spiritual worlds.
You can better learn to receive, interpret, and work with synchronicities, symbols, dreams, and signs from nature and animal spirits.
And, most importantly, you can come into higher relationship with the totality of your life – the experiences and events that have been gifts on your evolutionary journey – many of which hold the mysterious ingredients in your unique recipes for healing at all levels.
You can move beyond conventional or conditioned interpretations of experience and learn how to quickly and effectively take responsibility for your own shifts, using tools like The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel, for example, and The 7 Core Energies of Transformation; Compassion, Empathy, Love, Gratitude, Surrender, Faith, Unity and Trust.
Cultivating Oneness and Inter-Connection
In order to do so, we must first and foremost, enhance and solidify our awareness of our oneness; our connection to all things in creation, including our Source and others, even those we might have once dismissed or judged as being different, or less than or better than.
Integration and Wholeness
We must integrate all of the selves within our SELVES; integrate what many traditions label as the “ego” or “personality” with your spirit so all parts of you can come into unified and integrated wholeness, and be of enhanced (and clearer) service to you and others in the world.
Letting Go of Conditioning
We must be willing to let go of what we think we have come to believe as true, important and required and accept that much of our conditioning had been to serve a world dependent on fear, insecurity and dependency.
Directing Core Energies Towards Fulfillment of Your Unique Purpose
We need to learn how to direct our core energies towards aligned manifestation and transformation. The invitation is to really look at what you think you want in your life, what you once defined as measures of success, security and fulfillment, and come into better alignment with the reasons you were born – your unique purpose in the world.
Every one of use learns how to brush our teeth but not everyone is called to become a dental hygienist or dentists. Learning how to self-heal does not mean you’ll be called to work as a healer or shaman with others. It may be that you apply principles and practices to healing your own life and feel more empowered in your ability to navigate challenges, and heal limitations from the past.
Develop Your Inherent Intuitive Abilities
Regardless of your calling, I am confident in saying that most of us share the incredible opportunity to strengthen our natural abilities and leverage what I call our Core Inherent Modes of Intuitive Interpretation.
For example, if you are an empath, sometimes referred to as clairsentient, or a feeler or a senser, and this is how you interpret energy, grow that. If you are a seer (clairvoyant), grow your natural abilities to see and receive visions that will offer incredible guidance and clarity. If naturally clairaudient and “hearing” is your core inherent ability, open to listening on a deeper level and cultivate practices that clear the perceptual and belief filters that talk you out of listening to your inner voice, or potentially block you from receiving guidance from higher realms.
Having these abilities, growing them, honing them and trusting them are very different things and it can only come with commitment, practice and on some level, a willingness to learn from mistakes or misinterpretation.
These are your unique love languages with Creator. I’m, for example, more of a knower and feeler and am highly receptive to metaphysical or symbolic communication and signs from nature. Yet, recently, I experienced a heightened opening to “sight,” and fortunately have the support, tools and practices that are enabling me to expand and receive this ability without having to experience disturbances or the resistance that I have seen in so many.
Become an Energy Alchemist
We must also learn to work with different types of energy and find our unique ways to clear, extract, balance, imprint and ground energy. To become an energy alchemist is to learn how to transmute and alter the current (or perceived) form of “an energy,” into something of a higher, more pure quality.
Energy Alchmeny can be used to change the quality of the “energetic” of your thoughts, your body, chakras, breath, emotions, and your relationships. Sound, chakra, auric, reiki, and meridian healing, for example, are all various forms of energy healing and not all forms come as easy to some as others. Regardless of where you think you are on this spectacular journey, you will find it even more important to work with a mentor as you open to and cultivate these abilities.
We Have the Tools to Cultivate Expansion
Many of you have heard and been pondering the guidance to gather for the Awakening the Healer Within Teleretreat, a 13 week experiential training program that deeply opens you to pathways to the Divine, and offers the intermingling of facilitated healing sessions (to release blocks and activate natural abilities), with powerful rituals and practices that enhance your natural abilities, and offer a multitude of tools that will open you to a consciously experienced shift in your natural healing abilities.
Learn more at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html (only 16 spots remain open!) and hear about the program from those who have gone through it.
One such tool is The Power of Our Way Medicine Wheel, which offers a brilliant progression through 45 distinct “stations” that ultimately bring you back into a consciousness of Embodied Awareness, Oneness, and Original Intention (Soul Encoding), where you more easily access the wisdom of the Divine Mystery and your Higher Self.
Deep journey and trance work and that enable you to re-pattern your subconscious mind and the beliefs that dictate, not just influence your experiences, is a major aspect of the training, and provides the space to learn, explore, ask questions, and experiment in a safe space supported by a well respected teacher of teachers.
If ready to learn how to enter into the parts of yourself (spiritual, energetic, and mental) that enable you to alter your current reality, and come into your own inherent abilities and spiritual encoding, join us for the orientation session for Awakening the Healer Within on December 8, 2009 so we can all dive in together on December 29th and open the pathways to a divine 2010!

I can't believe you created this. I am sorry, that sounded a bit off. All things considered, I have been previously on this page previously and all this post shocked myself... Much! Remember to write a lot more about Power of Our Way Blog: What Does it Mean to Awaken to Your Inner Shaman? Energy Alchemy 101 or possibly experiment with clairvoyant meaning verb in its place? I appreciate you reading this. Kind regards
