- (1888PressRelease) December 25, 2011 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, December 27, 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 tells listeners that winter is the season of "The Return". It is the time to rest and slow down. For most, just slowing down is the challenge. We think all we need is to catch up on some sleep or restart our daily meditation practice. For others, chronic exhaustion and fatigue is the challenge, and we get caught up in the actions of healing. According to Pratt, they are each a side of the coin of imbalance that is so common in the lives of contemporary people, and that both require the same journey into solitude to remedy the deeper causes of this natural imbalance in our lives. However, to just rest or slow down or try a cleansing diet again are not The Return -- they only hold the space for it.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Shamanism and the Renewal of Spirit," Pratt explores the renewal of Spirit and explains that The Return is a Taoist term for the natural turning inward, a natural call to leave the day-to-day patterns, expectations, habits and small addictions, and to remember. We are called to remember the path back to our mountain and to connect again to why we are here in this life at this time. And we are called to participate in the kinds of actions that open our hearts, allowing true emotions to flow and fill the lake that lies at the base of the mountain. In this way we go into the source of our deepest dreaming, realign with our heart's path, and restore the resources we will call on throughout the year to come.
