Traditional Healing
Developed out of thousands of years of living, dreaming and engaging with the world and the natural cycles of living, Nahua traditional shamanic healing brings deep and lasting healing, restoration, purification, life-balance, and beneficial transformation to body, mind, and spirit.
The health of our body, mind and emotions, nourishing relationships and a fulfilling life of meaning and purpose are not separate from the health of our spirit. All imbalances and illnesses have their root in the realm of spirit.
Traditional Nahua shamanic healing is beneficial for imbalances on any level of your being including chronic or acute health conditions, depression, anxiety, profound grief, excessive anger, addictions, feeling lost, stuck or a lack of purpose, loneliness, or any other physical, emotional or spiritual challenges you are experiencing.
The traditional medicine I practice comes out of my Nahua Weather Work tradition and lineage. It is an authentic, time-honoured shamanic healing system indigenous to the highlands of central Mexico.
A healer in this tradition is called a Tepahtiani. A Tepahtiani works in relationship with spirit and the healing forces of nature to address the root causes of illness and imbalance of body, mind, and spirit.
Becoming Tepahtiani is a divine calling. To be called to this healing path first requires initiation as a Granicero (Weather Worker) into a lasting and revered weather work lineage by an elder of that tradition. Over time and devotion to your weather work, the calling to become a healer of this tradition may arise.
To be an initiated Tepahtiani involves an ancient process of building relationship with sacred medicine sites and the Weather Forces which work through the healer.
After years of rigorous pilgrimage, training, ceremony and sacrifice, the apprentice undergoes a final initiation by their teacher to become a traditional healer and bring this ancient and powerful medicine home to their communities.
Sessions:
Sessions take place in person in my healing space (called a consultorio in this tradition). We will explore what has brought you to seek healing and restoration. Healing may take several forms based on your unique needs and may include a limpia (spiritual cleansing using eggs, ramos, copal, or other sacred substances) soul retrieval, spiritual counselling and guidance, or other traditional healing methods. Sessions are between 1 to 1/2 hours long.
Please see the info page for fees and hours.
Read my posts “Traditional Nahua Healing: Limpias with Ramos” and “Traditional Nahua Healing: Limpias with Copal” to learn about two of the healing forms that may be used in your healing session.
Spiritual Space Clearing
The Nahua healing system includes time-honoured practices for spiritual space clearing which brings in beneficial energy, lightness, openness, purity, and renewal.
Spiritual Space Clearing (called limpias in my Weather Work tradition) is the deep spiritual and energetic cleaning of your home, land, office, community, or workspace.
Our physical and spiritual well-being are deeply connected to, and influenced by, the spaces we inhabit and work in. It is essential that they are spiritually cleaned to support health, harmony, prosperity, and abundance. Spiritual space clearing removes old, stagnant, heavy, unsettled, and negative energies from your living and working spaces. It brings in beneficial energy, lightness, openness, purity, balance, harmony, reset and renewal.
Spiritual Space Clearing is beneficial for all living and work spaces in general and for specific circumstances including the following:
- When you want to bring in beneficial energy, flow, peace, abundance and prosperity to your space and spirit.
- Whenever the energy of your space feels unsettled or out-of-balance for known or unknown reasons.
- When moving into a new space to clear out the residual energy of the previous inhabitants.
- To usher in new beginnings, such as starting a new business, beginning a relationship, changing your career, setting a new life intention, or welcoming in a new life into your home.
- During or after any difficult times or significant endings, such as a serious or prolonged illness, trauma, accident, divorce, or death.
- To honour the passing of a loved-one.
- To settle and rebalance the energy of your space after renovations.
- To prepare your space prior to sale.
- To honour the changing seasons, the equinoxes and solstices.
- Anytime you feel that your space needs a really deep spiritual cleaning to bring in new energy, well-being and vitality.
Sessions:
Spiritual Space Clearings are done in person at your space. The process begins with an interview about your space and then an onsite visit to perform the cleansing. Please contact me for more details and fees.
Land Clearing & Blessings
Nature has a powerful capacity for clearing and bringing balance to land overtime after disruptive activity inflicted upon it. However, there are circumstances that can cause lasting imbalance which can deeply affect those who live or work there.
There are unbalancing forces (such as violence, deforestation, disturbance, pollution, or disrespect) that can remain attached or maintained in an area of land. These lingering forces can negatively affect those living on or visiting the land. Land clearings and blessings clear out disturbing, interfering or unbalancing forces and attract beneficial energies of support, protection, balance, renewal, abundance and regeneration. Land blessings are a way to welcome you to a new home and connect you to the spirit of place.
Land clearing and blessings are another offering through my work as Tepahtiani. If you sense that your land needs to be cleared of some lingering negative influence or you have recently purchased land or a home with property, please contact me to arrange a land clearing or blessing or to find out more about this beautiful process and the benefits it brings to you, your family, and your land.
Shadow Lifting
We work with “shadow” in two ways in this tradition:
If someone has experienced a very strong, dramatic, physical event such as a car accident or home invasion, it can affect their soul in such a way that they lose part of their “shadow” (soul) which remains at the sight of the experience. Loss of shadow is experienced as a profound feeling of lethargy that cannot be lifted, no matter what the person has tried. It can also be accompanied by depression, nervous tension and nightmares that seem to be related to the event itself. Restoring the loss of shadow involves going back to the sight of the dramatic event and doing a process that lifts the part of the shadow that has remained at the incident and uniting it with the person again.
The second way we work with shadow in this tradition is when someone passes away in a home. When someone dies in a home, whether a loved-one or a previous occupant, a spiritual residue of that person gets transferred to the house at the moment of their death. This presence is called “shadow” and can affect the spiritual energy of the home and all who live there. The process of removing this presence is called “shadow-lifting.” Shadow-lifting brings release for the spirit of the departed as well as for all who live in the house. It clears and balances the spiritual energy of the home so that it is supportive of life, peace and good health.
Please contact me to arrange a shadow-lifting or to find out more about these beautiful processes.
