- (1888PressRelease) April 21, 2012 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, April 24, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt notes that literally thousands of people around the world have been taught to use the shamanic journey practice to connect with their spirit help and guides since the 1960s. And yet, even with the ease, direct access, and humor inherent in the technique, few people are able to step from the basics into a more dynamic practice in which spiritual input becomes part of their everyday problem solving. Many are left wondering: How does one make that leap?
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Shamanic Journeying: Tricks of the Trade", Pratt shares some tricks of the trade when working with helping spirits. According to Pratt, balance is key as with all practices that engage power. We must balance the inspiration and practicality, the life plan with the unknown, and the hero's journey that we didn't even know we were on with the relationships we have chosen to show up for in our life. The next steps require learning to craft questions that truly work as keys to unlock the wisdom and inspiration of the spirit world. They require accessing one's symbolic language without the distortion of knowledge, fear, and emptiness. And, says Pratt, they require a willingness to risk who you are and what you know for who you could be if you were to trust the guidance of spirit in your life.
