- (1888PressRelease) May 21, 2012 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, May 22, 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 in today's vitriolic public discourse about marriage and family values, the child is the banner held high and waved about. However, what we see from soul loss in contemporary life is that we no longer actually put what is best for the child first, but instead violently attack others for their differences or simply ignore the issue in our over-stimulated, virtually connected, self-absorbed lives. According to Pratt, in pre-contact shamanic cultures, two adults came together to create a stable economic unit in which to raise children. Much of the structure of these ancient unions was designed entirely for the support of the child and the preparation of that child to survive his or her initiation in to adulthood. The adults adjusted their lives and their desires because children were truly the most precious and valuable resource of the people.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Soul Loss and Family Values", Pratt shares what she has learned from decades of soul retrieval work about what is really necessary to create a healthy environment in which to raise children. Pratt tells listeners that fundamentalist thinking of any kind, divisive actions that separate us from each other and the environment, and the constant upheaval in the lives of adults without a practice of self-reflection, cause soul loss in our children. If we truly valued children we would honor the union of any two adults whose actions express love, open-minded intelligence, and an honoring of all life in all of its magnificent diversity.
