The Illumination process lies at the core of every shamanic energy healing session and promotes health in three ways. First, it dissolves dense energies clogging the chakra. Second, it burns through unhealthy energies from dysfunctional physical, mental, and emotional patterns. In energetic terms, these patterns are referred to as imprints. Third, it clears the imprints from the energy field. With these imprints erased, it is possible to shift out of negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The power of the immune system kicks in and healing is accelerated. Every imprint is linked to a chakra through which it releases data into the nervous system.
A chakra assessment is done at the beginning of every session to determine which energy center
is compromised.

Shamanic traditions do not believe in “bad” energies. There are only energies that are “light” and support life, and energies that are “heavy” and create dis-harmony and dis-ease. The Illumination process transmutes heavy energies into light, transforming wounds into wisdom.
