What is shamanism?

Shamanism is the world’s most ancient spiritual practice. For more than 40,000 years, our ancestors used shamanic methods to seek spiritual power and wisdom. They did so to bring healing, knowledge and practical wisdom to their community. “Shaman” (SHAH-mahn), from a Siberian tribal word, refers to a person who is …

About divination

Divination is a path to deeper understanding.

Divination – to divine knowledge from helping spirits on behalf of others – is one of a shamanic practitioner’s most important roles. This knowledge reveals answers, guidance and hidden truths to the seeker.

Are you seeking answers?

I use shamanic journeying and several divination tools, including natural objects and oracle or tarot cards to convey messages to the seeker from the Spirit World.

If you are looking for guidance and meaning in challenging times, ask a clear question with intention. Intention is the backbone of good divination work. Seekers can only ask questions about themselves. They must frame their questions carefully and with focus. I can help you to create a question with clear intention.

Messages from the Spirit World may be simple and easily understood, offering practical advice. Often, the answers are metaphorical and take a while to figure out. Their messages may have a profound impact on your life or tell yo what you don’t expect to hear. Anything is possible.

Shamanic divination does not predict the future or provide a “forever” answer. Answers to questions and messages pertain only to you at this moment – in the here and now.

How does it work?

We can interact in person by e-mail, messenger, telephone or online (FaceTime or Skype). Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca for more information.

About soul retrieval

Restore lost pieces of your soul to regain your power.

Soul retrieval is a powerful spiritual practice that heals soul loss.

Life changes and traumatic events impact your soul. These experiences can frighten or cause parts of your spiritual essence to slip away. They flee to survive and escape the full impact of a painful experience.

What is traumatic event? Whatever you view as traumatic – the stress of accident, loss of a loved one, a parent’s misplaced criticism, a bully’s abuse and more. You may feel that a part of your true self is missing. And, you don’t feel entirely whole. Often, people continue to recreate behaviours or have unhealthy relationships that mirror the missing parts of their soul.  Shamanic cultures considered soul loss as a spiritual illness. Soul fragmentation diminishes the spiritual energy or life force within us, leading to emotional, physical and mental stress.

If you need this powerful healing, I will journey to the Spirit World to find missing pieces of your soul to return to your body.

Do you need a soul retrieval?

Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca to explain why you are interested in soul retrieval. If my spirit guides agree that you need this spiritual healing, we will schedule a meeting at my studio in suburban Montreal. I do not perform soul retrievals at this time. Soul retrieval and “Welcome Home” integration journeys usually last 60 to 90 minutes.

About shamanic extraction

During a shamanic extraction, I work with helping spirits to remove any energy from your body that does not belong. This misplaced energy is known as an intrusion.

Remove energy that doesn’t belong.

Energy intrusions come from inside and outside sources. Externally, you might absorb emotions projected in your direction – someone’s sadness or anger. On the other hand, you might internalize stress at work or when dealing with a personal or family crisis. These emotions intrude on your spiritual wellbeing. The body remembers and stores them. Shamans believe that such energy intrusions may cause physical illness.

Extraction ceremonies are powerful ways to release energy intrusions that weigh you down. During this ceremony, the shamanic practitioner merges with a helping spirit. This spirit reveals any energy that does not belong and extracts it.  

Do you need a shamanic extraction?

If you’re interested in finding out, I will consult my helping spirits on your behalf. Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca to explore the possibility. If you need this spiritual healing, I will schedule a one-on-one appointment in the suburban Montreal area. I do not perform remote extractions. Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes.

About power animal retrieval

A power animal guides you on your path.

Power animal retrieval connects you with a helping spirit in animal form. During this ceremony, the shamanic practitioner journeys to the Spirit World to find your power animal and bring it back to you.

Shamans believe that a deep connection to your power animal benefits your spiritual health and well being. A power animal supports and protects you. When a power animal shares its power with you, it shields you from negative energy.

People may lose power, give it away or have it stolen. As a result, they feel powerless, stuck and/or lose enthusiasm. Job loss, relationship breakdowns, a health crisis and other problems can rob you of power. Shamans believe that a primary cause of illness is loss of power.

Take back the power to create your story.

Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca for power animal retrieval. I will consult my spirit guides, and if they agree that you are in need of this spiritual healing, I will schedule a one-on-one appointment in the suburban Montreal area. At this time, I do not perform remote retrievals. Sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes.

About Heather

I am a trained Harner Shamanic Counselor™, completing my training with April Tuck in Boston 2018. My interest in shamanism began while studying anthropology at McGill University and the University of Manitoba. I have studied core shamanism at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) with Glenn Campbell, including workshops in shamanic divination, power soul retrieval, shamanic extraction, and more. I learned Sandra Ingerman’s soul retrieval methods from Linda Dean Farrar. I am a Certified Card Reader and Advanced Ho’oponopono practitioner. My passion is to guide you to find your path to a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Ancient tools

Core shamanism is not a religion; it’s a methodology or set of ancient tools that enable anyone to access non-ordinary reality. The use of repetitive sounds or motions – drums, rattles or dancing – enables any seeker to enter a trance-like state and journey within to access “non-ordinary” reality – the Spirit World. Core shamanism adapts the universal features of shamanism to help people solve problems in modern life. Anyone can learn:

  • How to meet and work with helping spirits, such as power animals and spirit guides, to find your way.
  • How to heal spiritual problems, such as soul loss or energy intrusions.
  • How to divine the path ahead for yourself and others.

Shamanic journeying at home

A Harner Shamanic Counselor™ teaches you how to journey to The Spirit World. There, you will find inner guidance, wisdom, self-awareness and the answers that you seek. Learn to journey at home with a small group of friends or on your own. Contact me at heather@thespiritworld.ca and https://thespiritworld.ca/workshop for information.
