With its roots firmly placed in the dark realms of history, shamanic healing has often been considered a mystifying practice to the uninformed but actually, the principles are very simple. It is a therapy that works on creating a balance of energy throughout the body and there are various methods used to create this balance. Shamanism is unsurprisingly shrouded in mystery and the theory is that the shaman taps into a reality that is outside of time and space as we know it. Connecting with their spirit guides whilst in an altered state of consciousness, the healing process can truly begin.
