NLP
Shaman Training
NLP and Shamanism are a perfect match in our fast-paced and quickly
evolving world. NLP is the most cutting-edge technology for
personal change on the planet. It makes sense that people will
continue to seek out Neuro Linguistic Programming and related
technologies for change and learning. People are also seeking the
spiritual connection. Our world requires that we all adapt
to more information than any other generation in human history and to
ever-faster cultural and business cycles. And yet, there is a
growing recognition that amongst all the mechanization in modern daily
life and drive toward being successful, we all want connection to our own spiritual source; the
touchy-feely, quiet time, the earth itself, to God, to spirit;
or to whatever other names or labels that may fit for each individual. A
protege of Carl Jung, Dr. Arnold Mindell wrote a number of books about
the Dreamingbody. The concept was primarily used as a psychotherapeutic modality.
In his book, Shaman's Body, Mindell makes the jump from psychotherapy to ancient Shamanic healing, and he draws the obvious
conclusion that Psychotherapy and Shamanism operate on similar
principles. A great deal of preparation and study are required to
reach the point that a student or apprentice is prepared to graduate
from study. In both, healing most often occurs in some kind of altered
state (hypnosis or other dream-like trance states). Where
Native American and other Shamanic ceremony is designed to be a healing
of one kind or another, NLP has a reputation for being able to model the critical elements of
any system including ceremonial
healing and create a process that will be consistently
effective in producing a result. For example, Tad James proceduralized the Hawaiian
Huna ceremony called Ho-O-Pono-Pono to create a quick and effective
therapy designed to allow the subject or coaching client to sever old
unhealthy emotional/spiritual connections from people in their lives.
Toxic relationships can be cleansed. Co-dependencies often disappear.
With education in both Psychology and Anthropology, I lived for more
than 12 years in Sedona, Arizona where I
continued my NLP practice and was a tour guide facilitating people from
around the world into the beauty and mystical nature of land of the red
rocks. I have facilitated and initiated thousands of people from
all over the planet who came to see the
beautiful red rocks of Sedona and explore their own inner
journey. If you have never been to Sedona, it is not only one of
the most beautiful places on the planet but it an amazingly mystical,
magical place that is situated at the crossroads of
several Native American cultures. I have invited my friends
to participate in various ways and to meet, teach, and be with you.
You are in for a treat as you participate in this life and mind altering
experience. Among indigenous people
all over the planet, there are similarities in world view and Shamanic
practices. This NLP Shaman training overviews the common
threads of all healing and Shamanic practice in a format that makes it
easy to learn and be transformed in a relatively painless and short period of time. Expect
to be enchanted, challenged, and transformed.
