When you are no longer content with the life you have and traditional approaches aren't helping, then it may be time to address the issue in a non-traditional manner. Shamanic Coaching™ goes beyond the apparent to address the cause, to create evolutional change. It has helped many achieve their goals in a direct and sustainable manner.

ALIGNING WITH THE FOUR WORLDS

any of us are seeking to align ourselves with our Higher Selves. How we experience this quest may be different for each of us. For some, it is the desire to seek the grace and ease that come with being "in the zone," that peak performance place. For others, it is a longing to find a deeper meaning to life, the search for new riches. Then there are those who stalk the mystical. This may be an unquenchable thirst for a connection with their Creator and all of their relations to Grandmother Earth.

Many of us are also seeking to live our dreams. This may be a process of remembering or creating our dream through aligning with our Higher Self or higher purpose. In the language of author Caroline Myss, Ph.D., this would be called your sacred contract. Achieving this purpose may involve letting go of past illusions and old beliefs which no longer serve you, or breaking limiting contracts which tie you to the past and drain your energy. Shamanic Coaching help release the old and activate the new. From our past limitations, we birth a new alignment, which incorporates the natural to the sacred.

For further information, please refer to The Natural and Sacred Alignment of Consciousness, a white paper about Aligning with the Four Worlds.

The Medicine Wheels
As a guide to achieving higher alignment, we use Medicine Wheels to learn about all of our "relationships." The wheels teach us that we are part of a larger cosmos and what effects this larger cosmos has on us. Knowing how these aspects influence us allows us to elicit their energies in our healing. In the tradition of Shamanic Coaching, we incorporate these wheels and several dozen more to guide us through the magic of shamanism.

Four Directions:
This is the basic medicine wheel with all four directions represented. This wheel is the basis of all other wheels, meaning that every other wheel will lie over this wheel.

Elemental:
This wheel shows us where each element sits and its influence on us. It is important to understand how Shamanic Coaching is based on the complete involvement of the four elements and the five aspects. During any given session, all of the aspects can be addressed. For a whole shift to a new level, all aspects must shift. Often a ceremony is a catalyst for change and healing.

Four Hills of Life:
Here we see the path we travel through life. Each direction represents a time in our lives when traditionally we would experience a rite of passage to mark the transition into a new way of being. When these initiations do not occur, we feel incomplete on some level. We automatically and often unconsciously look for a substitute, or we repress the unmet need. Some of the work we do with Shamanic Coaching is to create the missed initiations through the use of ancient ceremonies.

Built on the Elemental Wheel, this wheel shows us what drives or controls each of the directions.
