RHINEBECK, NY, March 20, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Voice America Network on Wednesday, March 24, at 2 p.m. Pacific time/5 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt says that our Shadow Self is an important aspect of who we are. Engage it well and it will show us our greatest assets and deepest passions. However, if left unexplored the Shadow Self can generate physical, mental and emotional unwellness, leaving life flat, disappointing, and depressing.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Your Shadow Self and the Divine", Pratt explores shamanic ways to engage your Shadow Self effectively. Shadow work is messy and it defies all logic—emotional, mental, and physical logic. "Anything goes" in the Shadow realms, which frightens and challenges the order-loving beings that we are. However, by engaging our direct relationship with spirit through shamanic skills, according to Pratt, we can learn to follow the crazy logic of the Shadow realm. We can meet the juicy, but frustrated parts of our self we have stuff in the Shadow Closet and negotiate their return. In this way we reengage with our passion, sensuality, creativity, sexuality, sense of humor, and overall joy for life.
