PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALING PARADIGM WHEEL

The HEART OF POWER program is a shamanic approach designed to get underneath the mental illness to the cause of the original imbalance. Shamanism focuses on the proper use of energy and how to regain balance. It goes to the “heart” of the matter and enables healing from the inside out. Humans are in physical form to learn and grow. The key to learning and growing is to find health, hope, happiness, harmony and humour throughout one’s life.  These teachings bring the understanding of what it means to be at ease in the physical body and how to deal with life’s challenges without falling apart and without undue stress.



SHAMANISM

Shamanism is the study and perception of energy and its use. When we come to understand energy and its uses we can find balance. Imbalances of energy create illnesses of all kinds: emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and sexual. Shamanism has a unique approach of getting to the core which involves the “dismemberment” of the old self and ways of being in order to remember the healed self. Once this occurs maintaining and sustaining health becomes the focus.
