[.ca] Chakras In Shamanic Practice (ISBN 1594771847)

The Chakras in Shamanic Practice:
Sharing her own personal experiences, the author of The Chakras in Shamanic Practice shows readers how Shamanic practices can be used to heal wounds associated with trauma at each stage of development. Throughout our infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, we are meant to learn certain things. For instance from infancy to age six, we learn trust and require security. If for some reason adequate positive experiences are not provided, through abuse or neglect, then healthy development is suspended. Therefore, unless we address these needs, they will continue to affect our developmental growth, our relations, and ultimately our happiness. In The Chakras in Shamanic Practice, the author adapts the various layers of human development to the chakras, including an eighth for ascendance. Thus, each chakra not only includes an associated color, quality, and location but is also linked to an age grade. At each stage, certain developmental aspects are addressed such as creativity, sensuality, compassion, forgiveness, intuition, integrity, etc. Beyond this very informative aspect, each section also contains tasks. These exercises vary in essence from meditations and reconnecting with nature through rebirthing exercises and examining the past to connecting to others of like mind or becoming open to finding your own healing tools. The reader can easily adapt these resources to his or her own needs.
