Shamanic Healing

Shamanic healing is a very powerful form of healing which restores balance and harmony to all four aspects of the being: spiritual, mental, emotional and physical. Healing energy is channelled to the client and this is combined with sound. The healing effect of sound is very immediate, bypassing the mind and getting straight to the root.

Two forms of sound are used: toned and breath sound. The person's energy web and centres are rewoven by the healing energy, restoring the connection to one's self and awakening inner healing potential.

When necessary, Kestrel also works with regression to guide the client back into the past to release recurring subconscious patterns, negative conditioning and limiting thought forms. This helps to release any buildup of suppressed and stuck emotions from the body and energy field. Fragmented parts of the soul are retrieved and integrated back into the body to align the person more fully with themselves. This leads to feelings of aliveness and inner peace which can affect other areas of the person's life, creating positive change, personal empowerment, fulfilment and connection to one's inner self, creating harmony.

Guidance and Direction
Higher Perception

Higher Perception is a Shamanic way of connecting to the higher self to obtain the overview, the whole picture of a person's life journey from a spiritual perspective. This is communicated to the client in words relevant for them to hear.

It is a very wide-ranging form of guidance and can look into blocks, patterns and conditioning and offer ways of releasing them. It can give guidance and direction to a person's life, including what they incarnated on the earth to do, their unique soul path and how it can be brought into being and fulfilled. It can also look into specific questions in an in-depth way. As well as the guidance given higher perception brings healing energy to the client and connects them more to their higher self; a connection which will last after the session takes place.

Rune Readings

The runes are an ancient Shamanic system of divination consisting of simple symbols which represent the forces of nature. They can bring information from the hidden realms into conscious awareness, and give ankestrel in-depth picture of a person's life, helping to give insight into confusing situations, life decisions, finding one's true self, etc, which can lead to personal empowerment and growth.

The runes are positioned in different layouts which also have meanings which relate to shamanic concepts. The combination of the runes, their position and Kestrel's higher perceptive abilities brings to the client the information they need.

Runic Name Readings
(understanding the soul essence of your name)

The runes are an ancient alphabet with sound values. Everything named has its rune, which represents a sound weaving of natural energies in a unique way. The personal name is our individual combination of runes. When the runes of the name are understood and experienced it can lead to a greater awareness of the self and one's path in life.

In a runic name reading Kestrel works with the runes of the name to reveal your unique qualities, what motivating energies are present, where your energies are directing you, and the essence of your inner soul, to give you a deeper understanding of yourself.

Understanding Dreams
Dream Readings

There are two kinds of dream, the subconsious, "sorting-out of problems" dream and the spiritual dream, which is where our higher self and allies in other dimensions speak symbolically and directly to the soul.  This reading can work with either or both kinds of dreams, which allows the client to understand their dream environment better.  This can lead to greater knowledge of the self and inner empowerment.  In a reading we explore the dream to unlock its personal meaning for the client and its application in everyday, waking conscious life.  Also included will be dream exercises that can be used at home to carry on the dream understanding process for healing, inner knowledge and lucid dreaming.
