Shamanism is an ancient spiritual practice that uses techniques like soul retrieval and working with power animals to address trauma and promote healing. In soul retrieval, a shaman journeys to recover lost soul fragments caused by traumatic experiences, aiming to restore a person’s sense of wholeness. Power animals, considered spiritual allies, offer guidance, protection, and strength. Modern psychology, on the other hand, employs inner child work and trauma healing to address similar issues. Inner child work involves reconnecting with and healing the wounded inner child within, while trauma therapy focuses on understanding and processing traumatic experiences to foster emotional and psychological recovery. Both approaches seek to mend the psyche but through different frameworks and methodologies. In this episode of Soul Communication, we delve into the world of shamanism, soul retrieval, and the influence of psychedelics in spiritual journeys. Our guest, Khats from Shamandome camp at Burning Man, is one of my shamanic teachers and elders. She is a seasoned shamanic practitioner, transpersonal psychologist, hypnotherapist, and medicine woman. She brings a wealth of experience working with plant medicine since the 1960s and shares her 16 years of experience at the Burning Man festival. Khats provides insights on the evolving energy of spiritual festivals, the importance of safe practices in plant medicine, and the role of technology in validating spiritual experiences. We also discuss the healing power of shamanic practices, the significance of power animals in spiritual work, and the profound impact of integrating ancient wisdom with modern techniques. Join us for a deep dive into these transformative practices and their relevance in today's spiritual landscape.
