I've recently been working on a site related to "healing" and it was then I started to think about all the healing applications of Project Sanctuary, and what we should call PS style healing.

The closest match is really shamanic healing; that's the only thing which brings in the concept of travelling in other realities and interacting personally with the events and existences you find there. Here's an article I wrote about shamanic healing in the 21st century for an ezine recently, plus notes on The Sucking Doctor, and a Dream About Scissors.

Shamanic Healing In The 21st Century

• Shamanic Healing
• The Sucking Doctor
• Sucking Doctor Case Story: Dream About Scissors

Shamanic healing describes in essence a group of processes that has been practised throughout the millennia, and throughout every civilisation in the world, which entails for a shaman to travel in non-ordinary realms (quantum realms, other worlds, dreamtime etc) and there, to make changes, learn about the nature of the problem and to bring back resolutions.

Shamanic healing relies at the baseline for any practitioner, or shaman, to be able to contact and understand the underlying "invisible" energetic realities of the world.

Therefore, and although for example soul healing, soul loss and a range of mind healing and incarnational healing activities is what is most commonly associated with shamanic healing, a shaman can also "read plants", minerals, other forms of energy imprints and match these to the problem at hand.

True shamanic healing is absolutely fascinating and not to be confused with a mind game that used to be played at some length in the "new age communities" of the late 20th century.

The difference between an "imagining" and a true shamanic healing experience is known because it is FELT; further more, when a true shamanic healing experience has taken place, REALITY CHANGES as a result.

For a beginner studying shamanic healing work, it is of the essence to REMAIN REAL at all times.

Humans are easily given to imagination and delusion; and someone who has never experienced an orgasm would probably be hard pushed to explain the difference in the sensations of an orgasm, and a good sneeze.

It is therefore essential for a junior shaman to first of all, learn how to differentiate between what is real and what is just an imagining; this is needed to set the path in the right direction, towards more real experiences and away from disturbing illusions.

The EMO healing system provides this ESSENTIAL assistance at level 1 by focussing on PHYSICAL SENSATIONS related to INVISIBLE occurrences. The body doesn't lie; and to learn to trust one's own PHYSICAL responses, to read them correctly and to USE THEM in order to stay on the path of reality and not get lost in illusion is the first lesson, first task of shamanic healing.

In past societies, shamans were put through severe rituals of pain to "ground them in physicality" and to teach them the all important lessons of reality vs illusions; in the EMO healing system, we USE THE EXISTING PAIN of old injuries in the energy system (in the spirit person, in the spirit realms of a human being) to learn these lessons instead - and whilst we do this, we get to HEAL these old wounds at the same time.

This increases the shamans ability to feel, to perceive; it releases their limitations of fear and reversal and it is indeed the first and most important step to moving forward into true shamanic healing at the higher levels of reality.

The Sucking Doctor!

What is a sucking doctor?!

These are shamans who "suck" foreign energy masses or occurrences out of a person's matrix, literally, with their mouths and then spit them into containing jars prior to final disposal.

Some cultures have the shaman have something in their mouth, often chewed tobacco, but it may be a kind of plant that the shaman has decided is attractive to the energy form that needs disposing of. This is to stop the shaman from accidentally swallowing a foreign energy form and is used as an additional help and safety procedure.

However, because the shaman spits out the chewed plant substance after the sucking, this method has been used by Western explorers to "debunk" shamans as being quacks and "hiding plant matter in their mouth which they pretend to spit out later, thus fooling the native stupid onlookers to think that something "real" has taken place during this charade ..."

Anyway.

I had a good time this morning visiting such a sucking doctor in Pertineri. There are some excellent ones to be found there, and should you have an intruding energy or something that doesn't belong, the sucking doctor will help you be relieved of it.

You don't have to go to Pertineri for this, of course.

As PS offers you all and every choice, you can go to any native shaman of any cultural origin that you feel drawn to, and also from long ago, such as Celtic, Druidic or Egyptian practitioners as time or space are immaterial in these realms.

You can also of course invite a sucking doctor for a prophylactic home visit in your own sanctuary.

It's really interesting and you never know.

They might be able to help you get rid of something that you'll be well glad that you got rid of.

Dream about Scissors

A lady mentioned to me that she had had a dream in which she noticed something sticking out of her belly button - a sort of a rope made of many strands.

She was disturbed by this, as well you might be, and started pulling on it.

It came out, longer and longer and then got stuck and it was painful to pull it any further.

In the dream, she ran around everywhere frantically, looking for scissors, asking other beings in the dream for scissors, but none could be found anywhere.

The dream left a sense of deep dread.

I immediately suggested a visit to a sucking doctor, a shaman specialising in removing things that need to be removed, and in the correct way.

I was absolutely 100% certain that the reason she couldn't find scissors in the dream was because that was the wrong approach to take, that whatever that was at the end of the rope needed to be pulled out entirely.

So she went to visit with a shaman in PS, and he immediately went to work and pulled a big balloon type affair from her stomach. It was quite gentle and didn't hurt very much and when it was out, she felt immediate relief.

She said, "I have an overwhelming sense that that would have become a real sickness, that it was a life saving operation the shaman performed. Something bad would have happened if that had remained in there, it was like a shadow or a hologram of a disease to come."

The shaman was asked if he wanted payment of any kind, but he said it was payment enough for him that the lady in question was now well and could go on to heal others that SHE would meet more effectively because of the removal of the future disease.

A couple of points I'd like to make about that.

No. 1 is that it is really, REALLY IMPORTANT to pay attention to dreams like that, and to take action. If you don't know what to do, then go into Sanctuary and find someone who does. Our energy mind knows about such things and it is of utmost importance that we listen, learn and TAKE ACTION in response to resolve such things and as soon as possible.

No. 2 is the observation that as a Project Sanctuary shaman, you have absolute access to others just like yourself who can help YOU out, powerfully and absolutely. This removes one of the major problems and pitfalls that exist for shamans, namely that they are usually where the buck stops, and who'll come to heal THEM? In the spirit world, or the Project Sanctuary realms, if you will, there are powerful spirits which will help you, protect you, and all it costs you is to ask them to do it.

Use this stuff.

It is a new take on something that's as old as the hills, and in many ways, goes much further.

And it has a powerful impact on our daily lives.
