Typical Interventions.
Please note this list is not exhaustive; the work is very individual, and each session is unique to the needs of the individual's soul's journey. This is intended to give an introduction only. Don Martine, Keeper of the Sacred Mountain, Patchatusan, Peru.
This section contains some information on traditional energy medicine, highlighting some of the main interventions used during a session.
Illumination
Extractions
Egg Cleansing
De-coupling
Soul Retrievel
Kuti

Illumination
An illumination is the core practice in this form of healing; it is an ancient form of energy medicine that comes from the Q'ero shamen of
Each of us is surrounded by our own luminous energy field (LEF) that organises both our physical body as well as our external reality. When we experience a traumatic event it imprints onto our LEF. These imprints cause us to draw into our lives people and circumstances in order to re-experience the emotions and events of our past traumas. This is done in the hope that this time we can heal our wound. Unfortunately all too often, we merely re-wound ourselves.
|
We can understand intellectually that a person or circumstance is not healthy for us - but we keep being drawn back into similar situations. This is because we are caught in an energetic loop caused by our LEF which holds the imprints of all our personal, generation and karmic wounds. When we clear the. imprints of the luminous energy field - we are able to step into freedom An illumination helps free us from behaviours and patterns, both personal and generational which continues to manifest in our lives emotional traumas that haunt us. |

Extractions
Within our LEF we also have heavy energies that are caused by repetitive negative thoughts, such as fear, anger, jealousy and grief that we have drawn into our LEF in response to a trauma or a projection from someone else. We are vulnerable to these energies for a variety of reasons, such as soul loss, giving away our power, or our own negative thoughts matching the thoughts of someone who is projecting them at us.

These energies appear either as organic fluid shaped energies within our field, or as very solid objects. In energetic terms the expression of being 'stabbed in the back' has a very tangible reality. These energies can manifest as localised pain in the body, or as an illness or depression. Often a very strong emotion that overwhelms us for a long period of time can create these energies and also can be caused by these energies. An extraction involves removing and releasing the heavy energy followed by an illumination to ensure that similar energies will not be drawn into the LEF again. |
Soul Retrieval
|
Soul Loss is a term used to describe an imbalance caused by the loss of a part of our essential selves. It is a spiritual loss caused by a past trauma which we could not fully experience at the time, so a part of ourselves fled in order to be safe. Sometimes these fractured parts of our souls spontaneously return as we grow older and heal ourselves. Sometimes they do not return and it leaves a sense of loss or deep sadness and grief. Spiritually we do not feel whole and we can lead our lives searching either internally or externally, for that part of ourselves that we have lost. Soul retrieval is an ancient form of healing in which the shaman, by journeying to the invisible worlds, locates the lost part of ourselves (or soul part), calls it home and reintegrates it into the client's energy field to restore the client to wholeness. Soul retrieval re-writes the soul contract that we made at the time of the trauma - which made sense when we wrote it, but now prevents us from living the life we want. Soul retrieval also reawakens the gifts and personal power that our lost soul parts embodied. |

Hummingbird embodies our epic journey - the soul's journey to wholeness. It teaches us "stillness in flight", that capacity for inner stillness when all around us is in turmoil.

Egg Cleansing
This cleansing has a long history within Mexico, although it is done widely throughout South America. It is a wonderful cleansing both energetically and cellularly. Great for those physical aches and pains that seem to be taking ages to heal.
The egg is dipped in flower essences and rubbed in certain circular motions all over the body, while invoking protection and cleansing through prayer and chanting. The process is slow and ceremonial. It is done through clothing on the floor on a futon. Clients often experience both an energetic and physical shift.
The cleanings takes about 45 minutes and may involve more than one egg. Afterwards, the egg is broken open in a solution and 'read' to give an indication of what was extracted from the body. You will then be advised on how to dispose of the egg.
Decoupling
After a trauma or a bad fright the bodies 'flight or fight' response can become locked into the 'on' position. This can make the individual tense and always on the alert for the next 'attack'. This hyper vigilance puts tremendous stress onto an individual's body and mind and ultimately leads to a state of exhaustion. By 'decoupling' this response and rebalancing the individual to the Earth's natural rhythm, the 'flight or fight' response is turned off.
A client will feel very relaxed when this is done and sleep deeply at night. In instances where the 'flight or fight' response has been locked open for a while, several decouplings may be required.
This is usually done as the last part of an illumination session when the client is relaxed.
Kuti
Kuti is an ancient Ritual of Protection. A 'kuti' makes one invisible to death and to an individual's enemies for a period of time. Shamans invoked these protections on behalf of other Shamans who were either traveling or under attack. It is also perform on behalf of clients who have either had a session and want space to allow the healing to intergrate without interference, or who are undertaking a journey and would like this before they leave. I recommend this protection for traveling, entering toxic situations or where another person seems to be directing negative energy towards you. It takes a few minutes to perform and does not have to be done in person.
