Details of my Shamanic healing and music

 For more details email me directly or register on the facebook page Shamanic Drumming Wiltshire

I am currently embarking on a pilgrimage of sacred sites round the world with the intention of making sacred healing music in each place. I believe there is a real need for healers to move into public spaces and for these spaces to be made available to those who wish to do this.

My first public healing ceremony was on the 17th of September in Trafalgar Square. I used drum, rattle, bell and voice for this ceremony. To watch it, go to oneandother.co.uk click on the 17th of september and on the skyman link.

4th of October, second public healing performance, this time spontaneous. I visit the village of Romainmôtier-Envy and its 11th century monastery. This time I am moved to sit and play my guitar. I play, sing and find my voice is joined by a chorus of others- the voices of my friends who are with me, but also, interestingly, the voices of strangers who happen to come inside. People come up to us afterwards, each thanking us for a moving experience. One lady tells us she was moved to tears at one point, a man asks us to come to his wedding to provide healing voices of peace and love in the chapel as his marriage takes place. We are all moved by something bigger than us. It is at this point, sitting outside the monastery in the sunshine, that I realise I need to do this. If this feels like it might be the right thing for you then I would urge you to take up your instruments anfd be part of a music and healing revolution in your own sacred sites. I look forward to making healing music with you.

I combine music with healing and attempt to recreate the sound, tune or chord that represents where people are in their lives and who they really are. Music transcends words and vibrates deep within our core, it resonates with something that is beyond words and that can only be experienced. Soothing the soul with sound produces varied reactions, as blockages are released, so are tears, fears and states of deep joy are achieved. Sometimes striking a chord with someone is all it takes, they recognise their ecstatic sound that emanates from deep within. Listen to yourself and hear your true sounds in the silence you hold.

I completed professional shamanic training with The Sacred Trust (www.sacredtrust.org) in November 2007. I also hold an MA in Medical Anthropology from SOAS, as well as diplomas in Herbalism and Anatomy and Physiology. I have completed both Reiki I and Reiki II healing courses. I currently work as a healer, musician, author, as well as part time airline crew (flight attendant). I am a full time father when I am at home, and can often be found in both play areas and sacred sites close to my home! I live not 10 miles from the ancient stone circles of Avebury, Silbury Hill and West Kennet Long barrow.

 
What do I offer?

Below I have written a number of the services I provide. Some of these are available as distance work, meaning there may be no need to physically meet up. However I recommend that clients do come to see me in person first. I currently reside in Wiltshire but travel extensively globally, so may be able to see you anywhere in the world. Definitions of these are readily available to most people with a computer but I have given a small summary next to each one to clarify what I do.

 

Shamanic healing:

The healing that I provide normally takes the following form. First there is a short interview and talk with the afflicted person. After this I do a short amount of diagnostic work to see if I am the right person for the work and to determine exactly what is needed. This follows a loose format of

1.     Removal of intrusions. I check the person's energy field for blockages that should not be there. I remove blockages that clearly emanate from outside and transform those that emanate from within.

2.     Power Ally retrieval. I complete a journey by entering into non-ordinary reality and look for a source of power that was once with the afflicted and now wishes to return. This commonly takes the form of an animal, but it is important to note that it is not an animal or even the spirit of an animal that I bring back, it is an energy form that chooses to represent itself in a certain manner in order to communicate something.

 

3.     Soul Retrieval. I search for pure essence that is part of the afflicted persons soul, and that left because of trauma. If this pure essence is willing to return I bring it back and gently reintegrate it into the energy of the person.

I normally then spend some time explaining what has occurred and dealing with any questions or queries. After this I occasionally ask for some follow up work to be completed by the person in their own time.

Shamanic counseling

Shamanic counseling involves teaching a person how to establish contact with Spirit for themselves. This normally takes a number of sessions during which I introduce them to both Upper and Lower world travel (these bear no relation to concepts of heaven or hell)

Divination and Journeywork

Any pressing questions a person has can be asked here. I will offer to undergo a shamanic journey in which I enter into a trance state and journey in non-ordinary reality to ask the question. The answer is normally given in metaphor and is richly multi-layered.

A further option is for me to divine using a number of different cards and crystals. For this I also enter into a trance state. The answer may be in metaphor but could take any form.

Spiritual space cleansing

Have you moved home and are you not feeling comfortable yet in your new home? Is there something bothering you in your current dwelling? Similar to Eastern traditions of Feng Shui, I cleanse spaces for people. This normally involves the use of incense and candles as well as chanting, drumming and rattling throughout the home. Following this, some recommendations may be made as to the positioning of furniture and objects in the home.

Psychopomp work

Are you concerned about somebody who is deceased? If so I can attempt to check up on them. For this work no payment is asked although donations are welcome. I will attempt to contact the deceased and to ask them if they are in need of help. If I am able to do so, I will help them on their way or enlist the help of others to assist them. If I am able to I will ask if there are any specific messages for those left behind.

How much is it going to cost me?

Prices vary according to what you can afford. Naturally I charge for my services and for my time, but I always do some journeywork before seeing a client, and if I see that I am not a suitable practitioner to work with that person I tell them. I will however always provide a service if I am able and asked to do so, regardless of whether the client can provide a financial contribution.

Sample Music

This is a piece by Luys de Narvaez called Guardame las Vacas, or Put The Cows Away. Originally written for the Vihuela, it is played on a guitar with the G-string tuned down to F sharp. Click here to download this file

A folk song originally written by Rhodesian workers going to the mines in South Africa. I have recorded this as a tribute to Miriam Makeba who helped open my ears to African music. The lyrics are changed slightly by me, rather than the more common version of 'South Africa', I sing 'Zimbabwe' as a sign of respect for a nations suffering and in honour of the original version.
