In this monthly podcast about shamanic issues, shamanic practitioner Dory Cote talks about health challenges and spiritual practice.
To define this a little bit, we’re not meaning the flu, but rather we are focusing on health challenges that involve working with western medical intervention, in the form of surgery or procedures targeted to the health challenge. We are specifically not using the term "health crisis", because it escalates the knife edge of energy ,where "challenge" levels the playing field.
Questions answered in this podcast:
[01:21]: When health challenges come up, it is easy to lose one’s spiritual practice. It is also easy to feel that Spirit has deserted us. What is the Shamanistic perspective on health challenges, and how can we stay connected?
[07:30]: Being of service through asking for and receiving help.
[10:30]: During health challenges, what is the role of ceremony and prayer?
[13:57]: The health of the support system for the identified patient really matters. What wisdom or suggestions can you offer for the caretakers, and for the close circle of friends, during health challenges?
[16:40]: I have heard that Shamanic practitioners offer a ceremony which is done close to or during a surgery. Can you tell us more about this?
[22:25]: Identifying the spiritual gift or lesson from completing health challenges.
[24:37}: Anything else?
