Sandra Ingerman – Shamanic Journeying for Guidance and Healing part 2

Module 1: Key Principles in Using Shamanic Practices to Help Others

In this session, you’ll learn how to perform divination for others and how to interpret the metaphors you are shown. It is so crucial to learn how to tell healing stories that plant seeds of inspiration, hope and love in those you journey for. The ethics of working on behalf of others will also be addressed and will include the teaching that you must get informed consent from people you work with. Also, we must explain to clients that shamanism does not take the place of traditional medicine and psychotherapy. Additionally, we will examine our beliefs around our creative potential to create positive change for ourselves and the planet.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn how to perform a divination journey for others, whether it is for a friend, a loved one, clients, animals or for a business
• Develop skill in telling inspirational healing stories
• Address the ethical issues involved in performing shamanic divination and healing for others
• Learn how to get informed consent from your clients
• Learn how to access permission from people who are unconscious, children too young to speak or an animal
• Understand the power of words
• Create a garden in your inner world that you can inspect from time to time — this will be a garden of the plants growing from the seeds we tell ourselves and others
• Perform a virtual ceremony to rededicate ourselves to our virtual altar and our altar at home
• Examine any beliefs we need to let go of that prevent us from believing we have the ability to work on behalf of others

Module 2: Performing a Divination Journey

In this session, participants will have the opportunity to journey on a question given to them from a friend or loved one who is willing to have a journey performed on their behalf. Sandra will talk about how people often experience performance anxiety before doing shamanic work for others. She will teach how to prepare for your journeywork so that you are a true “hollow bone” and vessel of wisdom for the power of the universe. Sandra will also talk about observing the results of your work over time.

In this module, you’ll:

• Perform a virtual ceremony to release feelings of betrayal, guilt and disappointment

Module 3: How to Retrieve Lost Power

In this session, Sandra will review how shamans work with both emotional and physical illness. Shamans work with the spiritual aspect of illness, and one cause of illness is power loss. You will learn how to retrieve lost power for others — friends, loved ones, clients, animals, relationships, family and businesses. Sandra will teach how to perform this work at a distance as well as discuss the ethics of needing permission from others before doing this work. Sandra will also talk about working with children.

• Share your experience with the group
• Perform a virtual healing ceremony for the group

Module 4: Soul Remembering

In this session, Sandra will teach about the importance of identifying our soul’s purpose. The nature of human beings is to project onto each other, and oftentimes our parents, authority figures and loved ones do not see us for who we truly are. But we all came here to manifest a gift, talent and strength. Although we are one with the Divine, we all came here to manifest an aspect of the Divine and to have a unique life adventure. We will journey for someone you know who has given you permission to work on their behalf to ask a helping spirit to help identify his or her soul’s purpose. Participants can also journey for themselves on this intention if they do not want to journey for another.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn how to live a life filled with meaning and passion, which is essential to maintaining your emotional and physical health
• Understand how your soul’s purpose is oftentimes covered up by people’s and society’s projections on you
• Learn to identify one’s soul purpose
• Perform a group virtual ceremony to honor the beauty of each others’ souls and call in an element (earth, air, water, fire) which reflects back the quality of your soul’s purpose that can assist you in sharing your gift in the world

Module 5: Retrieving the Soul of the Land

In this session, Sandra will share about the power of performing a ceremony to retrieve the soul of land, a house, a building, a business or a city. First we will look at how we can work spiritually to diagnose if soul loss has occurred. Performing this type of ceremony by joining together in community can be especially healing during times of unrest. Sandra cannot teach how to perform a soul retrieval for people in this format. But the work to return the soul of where we live and work to reflect back our own soulfulness is important to our health.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn about the power of performing a soul retrieval for land, your home, your place of work, a business or a city
• Understand how to diagnose if soul loss is creating issues in the places where you live and work
• Journey to helping ancestral spirits or descendants to learn about ceremonies to retrieve the soul of a place
• Learn how to invite members in your community or workplace to participate in a soul retrieval ceremony
• Perform a group virtual ceremony to work on a place that is in need of a soul retrieval

Module 6: Healing With Spiritual Light

This is a continuation of some of the work begun in Shamanic Journeying for Guidance & Healing Part One. But in this session we go deeper with the work. Sandra will share how she used the shamanic practice of working with spiritual light to heal places impacted by environmental challenges and reverse environmental toxicity. She will share details with you about the scientific research she has conducted in this area of her work. We will explore through shamanic journeywork how to heal others, substances and places impacted by pollution using spiritual light. Sandra will also share some of her findings on working long distance using this way of working. We will perform a long-distance healing on substances and use a Gas Discharge Visualization (GDV) camera to measure our results.

• Perform a long-distance ceremony where the results will be checked by a GDV camera

Module 7: Journey Into the Future & Into the Multiverse

In shamanic work we can travel to the past or into the future as we travel outside of time. We also have the opportunity to explore multiple dimensions and parallel realities. In this session Sandra will share how journeying into the future and into multiple dimensions can provide important insights that help us make choices and decisions that ultimately benefit our life path. In this session, we will also continue to journey to deepen our connection with nature.

In this module, you’ll:

• Deepen your practice of how to dream into being the life you wish to live and for all in the web of life
• Learn how to work with a craft to focus your energies and dreaming work — crocheting, knitting, carving, sculpting, drawing, painting, cooking, gardening and so on

Module 9: Retrieving Wisdom From the Ancient & Future Ones

Through shamanic journeying we can journey to visit wise ones who lived in ancient civilizations and also forward in time to visit descendants who can share with us healing methods that can be bridged into our time. Visiting ancient traditions such as the Anasazi, the ancient Egyptians or the builders of the Mayan pyramids can provide valuable information for us. Ancestors as well as descendants might share more advanced ways that we can care for our environment. Descendants might share how they work with sound and light for healing as well as how to perform group healings on the collective. The descendants in the future are so generous with their teachings as they depend on us to leave them a good earth to live on.

In this module, you’ll:

• Perform a journey to an ancient civilization that you personally would like to learn from
• Undertake a journey to descendants to learn about healing methods in the future. Bring back a healing method you can integrate into your own work with others
• Perform a virtual ceremony to an advanced culture to perform a collective healing on our group
• Share with others in our circle the wealth of information that we have learned

Module 10: Working With Death

In shamanic cultures, it is understood that death is not an end but a transition. People in indigenous cultures of course mourn the death of loved ones and community members. But death is not seen as something to fear. Sandra will share how we can bring shamanic practices into helping others who are facing death to provide comfort and peace at the end of life.

In this module, you’ll:

• Perform a journey to learn about the territories in the transcendent realms that people travel to at the time of death

Module 11: Merging With a Helping Spirit

In this session, Sandra will talk about the importance of joining together as a global community to hold space in the world right now and how to merge with a helping spirit to see the world through the eyes of spirit versus through the eyes of ego. We’ll learn how merging with a helping compassionate spirit is a form of mediumship. Sandra will demonstrate the work by merging with her spiritual teacher Isis who will give a message and answer questions for the group.

In this module, you’ll:

Module 12: Bridging Shamanic Work Into Your Local Community

Throughout this course, we have learned how to perform shamanic healing work for others and in our community. In this session, Sandra will summarize and give us practical ways to continue our work on behalf of friends, loved ones, clients, our workplace and our community. Sandra will share with you how you can use terminology to bridge what you learned in both Part One and Part 2 of this course into a general population. Sandra will also encourage you to create a prayer, wishing or blessing tree in your community as a way to gather people together to hold a positive vision as well as how to bring children into the work. We will perform a journey to a power animal or teacher to ask for a plan to integrate the practices we have learned into our daily life.
