Personal and Location Clearing Mankind alone amongst the beasts demonstrably examines and actively seeks to understand and quantify his existence. Until he examines the physical, spiritual and mental as an integrated whole, the Question will not be answered. Until viewed wholistically, any answers can make no sense because the Questions themselves are not understood. -- Craig Berry |

Jealousy & possessiveness Shamanism Light Work Shadow Work Dark Work |
Numerous, rigorous and replicable experiments showing how meditative intent has a direct and material effect on the physical world have been performed (detailed in an approachable form in the documentary, "What in the Bleep do we Know? - Down the Rabbit Hole") with quality of result that is well accepted by scientific standard as conclusive and compelling evidence. Rather than detailing those experiments here, I would strongly urge the reader to seek out the first two discs of this amazing documentary and sit down for a few hours in expectation of being totally moved, blown away and amazed. Clearing (cleansing, purifying, sanctification etc. etc.) is a function of re-moving stagnant energy (of any source) from that place of stagnation. I have not misspelled re-moving in this context. Allow me to explain with yet another analogy,....
Shamanistic thought applies a similar concept to energy, emotion, spirit, psyche, and even the physical, seeing each of these aspects as a part of an indivisible whole rather that a sub-component to be treated individually as occurs in the reductionist's model. Stagnation leads to disease. Stagnation of spirit IS stagnation of energy & psyche & emotion & physical! Want evidence?.. look at the industrially classified symptoms of depression! physical lethargy & fatigue, emotional detachment, psychic withdrawal, psychological darkness and hopelessness. And what do we know works as the best possible self help method to treat depression? PHYSICAL ACTIVITY! Remove stagnation from one part of the body and the shamanic model says that you are having an effect on the whole being. We can place a whole heap of serotonin - endorphin - hypothalamic - pituitary explanations on the process, but the most effective way known to modern medicine to overcome clinical depression is supporting the sufferer through a few weeks of a physical regime of movement until the stagnation begins to clear and they start to 'see the light'. Emotional stagnation, psychological stagnation, physical stagnation, energetic stagnation,.. can you, the reader, really see any effective differentiation in effect to the person concerned OR see any part that will not respond to re-motivating that which is stagnant? Cleansing is a process where a practitioner first centres themselves and their own intent to be an ego-less focuser of intent to identify a stagnation and then to find the lever to release that energy back into circulation without detriment to either themselves or that which they are clearing. This is often done with the full assistance of animal or spirit guides during the journey. Critical to the success and safety of this practice is the total, emotional, physical, spiritual, psychic and visceral realisation that the shamanic practitioner is not responsible for more than being a pivot to a lever which is being moved by the universe. The practitioner is not responsible for, nor can take credit for, nor can take personal glory for any clearing / cleansing that happens. A Shaman is a portal and facilitator for the real world to interact with the physical world. In Quantum Physics, the energy identified as having to exist in a single point (think of the smallest space you can think of divided into the smallest bits you can think of) of what we might otherwise consider the vacuum of space hold more potential energy than most people could even accurately apply an analogy to (think of the energy in any few billion common sized suns). Whilst maybe sounding like scientific mumbo-jumbo, without this energy filling our universe, we simply could not be here! To find out more about this, please go to the Psi Field section of this site. What I am trying to convey here is how massively huge and how amazingly energetic our real world is (the real world is all aspects co-existing as a single integrated entity). To think that a single mind can claim responsibility for altering that reality is saying something along the same lines as, "I can hold the sun in my hand!", and just as non-sensical. What we can do is facilitate a shift towards a healthier state of being by acting as a pivot point rather than the lever. To explore this tangent a bit, we are not using the idea of a fulcrum as in physics, that requires the zero-point energy of the universe; instead, we endeavour to be the pivot point bringing into being a fulcrum. The levers are only explicable in quantum physics terms and the numbers involved are so abstract as to be meaningless unless you understand the theory, in which case this is revision. Suffice to say that for the average reader, the energies involved here are cosmologically, gigantically and awesomely HUGE! So big in fact that they fit into no space at all! (Watch, "Down the Rabbit Hole" for more on this). So I digress again,.. and again! The process of personal and locality cleansing from a shamanistic point of view is one of identifying and revitalising stagnation. Cleansing is not done from a personal, ego-based place, but rather, is done in the firm intent of the healthful outcome of all involved with respect, honouring the fact that the work, effort and success all belongs to the universe. The practitioner's place in this process is that of facilitation. Next - Totemic animals (totems) |
