THE SHAMAN AND ILLNESS

USING AN EGG TO DIAGNOSE

VIBRATION AND HEALING-THE SHAMAN’S WAY© Norman W. Wilson, Ph.D. Vibration used in healing has been around for thousands of years. Early humanity did not understand all of the science behind sounds and their healing potentialities. Frankly, there wasn’t a need for them to have such knowledge; however, in today’s modern world with its high tech electronics and miracle drugs there is a demand for specific information when it comes to healing. We moderns want scientific proof that something works. At the very least, that’s the claim. In the 2016 issue of The Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Tamara Goldsby reported that people who attended singing bowl meditations or sound baths experienced a reduction in pain. Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor, Professor of Medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University has stated that “When the heart rate is relatively steady and breathing is deep and slow, stress hormones decrease. That is significant because stress can depress every aspect of the immune system, including those that protect us against flue and against cancer.” The Law of Vibration states that anything that exists in our universe, whether seen or unseen, broken down into and analyzed in its purest and most basic form, consists of pure energy that resonates and exists as a vibratory frequency or pattern. (Quora.com) Think about this for a moment: Nothing ever really rests including you. Physical, mental, and emotional issues arise when the vibrational pattern gets out of sync. Each individual’s vibration pattern is different but to be healthy that vibration needs to be aligned with that of the Earth, of the Cosmos itself. Further, it is quite normal for vibrations to function at high and low frequencies within you as well as everything around you. When dealing with energy, remember like-energy attracts like-energy; that is, if you exude positive energy, positive energy will be returned to you. If, on the other hand, it is negative energy then that is what you will have returned to you. Accepting the notion that all things vibrate, living as well as non-living things, then it becomes reasonable that early shamans used sound. The frequency of vibration impacts everything. Masuro Emoto, The Hidden Messages in Water, amply demonstrated the importance of the spoken word. Big deal, you say. Remember, the human body is composed of nearly 70% water. The shaman’s chant is a significant tool in bringing about healing in a client. The use of Om is a good example. Try repeating that for several minutes and see how much better you feel. Tibetan Singing Bowl Meditation groups and sound bath salons have increased in numbers in the last couple of years. There are a plethora of places one may buy singing bowls both Tibetan, typically metal, and crystal bowls. Many are very expensive. CDs and Mp3 files are readily available that provide sound treatment. But what if you can’t afford all of this? I have found the following two exercises help relieve discomfort and to enhance the potentiality of feeling better. 1. Om, according to Dictionary.com, is a mystic syllable, considered the most sacred mantra in Hinduism and Tibetan Buddhism. It appears at the beginning and end of most Sanskrit recitations, prayers, and texts. Wikipedia states “Om refers to Atman (soul, self within) and Brahman (ultimate reality, the entirety of the universe, truth, divine, supreme spirit, cosmic principles, knowledge).” To use Om, take a deep breath, and as you exhale say OM and drag it out. Do this for ten minutes whenever you are not feeling up to par. 2. Humming produces a pleasant vibration along your lips. Not only does it feel good it helps the vagus nerve. Take a deep breath and slowly exhale. As you exhale, allow your lips to lightly touch and hum. When your breath has expired, start over. Do this for ten minutes. If you don’t have a clear ten minutes do it while in the shower or while you are driving to work. ©Norman W. Wilson, Ph.D. 2020

HEAL THE WORLD MEDITATION

THE DOWSING ROD THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE

Is Shamanic Energy Healing for You? Rev. Norman W Wilson, PhD What is healing energy? First and foremost, energy healing is not new. Nearly every ancient culture had some form of energy healing. A form of energy healing can be found in both Eastern and Western religions. Archeological evidence suggests such healing is at least 40,000 years old. Traditionally, energy healing meant the realignment of the body’s physical energy to promote healing. Today, still relying upon the realignment of body energy, energy healing is viewed as an alternative approach to contemporary medical practices and is also viewed by many medical professionals as complementary. All things are energy. This includes all plant and animal life forms. This energy is generated by the vibration of the molecular structure of these life forms. Quantum physics tells us that all things are in a constant state of movement. A wide number of things can cause a disruption of that movement resulting in illness, physical or mental. The healer’s job is to realign the patient’s energy so the body can heal itself. There are several healing approaches currently available. Among these are the following: • Reiki • Qigong • EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques and sometimes called Tapping) • Biofield Energy • Therapeutic Touch (TT) • Spiritual Healing • Faith Healing (Laying on of hands) • Yoga • Meditation • ARCH (Ancient Rainbow Conscious Healing) • Visualization • Chakra Balancing • Shamanic Healing Much is being written about shamanism. Many people are taking courses in shamanic healing to become shamanic practitioners. Others are going on vision quests in South America, in Nepal or in Tibet. Please be aware that these people are not shamen. Going through training programs offered by various institutions doesn’t make one a shaman; it makes them healers. Such programs train people in energy manipulations. In actuality, this is similar to the manipulation carried on by a chiropractor. The focus here is healing practices carried out by a shaman. Like other healers, the shaman makes a determination about the patient’s conditions. He or she may do this by moving his/her hands over the individual’s body. The shaman may then use sound to realign the patient’s body energy. Drums, flute, rattles and the human voice are the sound producing instruments used by a shaman. Their vibrations aid in the realignment of the patient’s energy. A wide variety of herbs may also be used in the form of teas, poultices, salves, ointments, or oils. Unlike many other healers, the shaman can and does travel to other realms to seek the help of the spirit world in healing his/her patient. Whatever the shaman does, it is energy based; either realigning the patient’s energy, restoring energy through the use of herbs and herbals, or transferring energy from him or from the spirit world. Two cautionary notes are appropriate at this point. Whenever you choose an alternative healing approach make sure you consult your medical physician. A second caution is that all of the alternative healing approaches are faith based. You must have faith or believe the healing approach works. ©Norman W. Wilson, Ph.D.

Shamanic Out-Of-Body Experience and the Computer Norman W Wilson, PhD Altered states of consciousness have various descriptors including trance, hallucination, or hypnotic state. Whatever the description there are certain identifiable traits or characteristics. As a shaman travels to another realm, he or she may experience any number of these characteristics. Chief among these are the following: Different sense of time Change in emotional expression Dissolution of the boundaries between self and environment Visual imagery A sense of the ineffable. Out-of-body experience This last characteristic of an altered state of consciousness has made international news. Contemporary researchers claim they have developed virtual-reality avatars to simulate out-of-body experiences (Feb. 17, 2011. The Guardian, UK). The group successfully 'projected' people into digital avatars that could move around in a virtual environment. According to the group's report, the participants experienced the digital body as if it were their own. The study did not address the altered state of consciousness created through hypnosis to allow an out-of-body experience. Nor was there any indication of an emotional change in the participants. The Telegraph (UK) (Feb. 18, 2011) reported "Out-of-body experiences are just the product of a confused mind and that scientists now claim they have dispelled this myth by artificially creating an out-of-body experience using computers and cameras." Neurologist, Olaf Blanke of the Brain Mind Institute of Ecole Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne, Switzerland, reported the study at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Even though both reports are interesting, neither expose the fact that the participants were aware they were using a computer program, and this may have impacted the assigned results. There is room to raise significant questions about the claimed role of the senses, particularly those of sight and touch in creating an artificial illusional world. The shaman while in an altered state of consciousness senses his movement from one plane to another. Persons going through an out-of-body experience sense personal physical movement. When it is a shamanic created altered state of consciousness, however, all the senses come into play. Advances in 3D production techniques and the availability of 3D television do not create the same experience as a shamanic trance. In the 3D experience, the person is the observer and is affected visually, for example, ducking because it appears something has been thrown at him. In this experience as in the experiments carried on in the Blanke study, there is no operative control by the participant. The shaman, however, is in control and directs his involvement. There is one additional difference between the computerized experience and the shamanic experience. The shaman seeks answers to a question for help with a person who is suffering, whereas the other, entertains.
