- (1888PressRelease) April 09, 2012 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, April 10, 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 answers the question: If helping spirits are present for all of us then why are they so hard to talk to? According to Pratt, from a shamanic perspective, everyone from child to adult has spirit help, though most contemporary people don't have any idea how to connect with that help and use it. One of the greatest gifts in the reintroduction of shamanism into contemporary culture is the gift of direct communication with our helping spirits.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Working with Helping Spirits", Pratt explores the simplicity of working with our spirit help and the complexities that arise as we begin to allow spiritual input to guide our choices in life. Pratt tells listeners that 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. Pratt discusses accessing our symbolic language and the things that distort our relationship with our helping spirits like knowledge, fear, and emptiness. Pratt will also share some helpful hints in moving one's relationship with one's helping spirits beyond the basics and out of the shamanic playpen.
