Extraction

Shamans work with the soul and with energy. When doing an extraction and facilitating a healing, the Shaman is removing misplaced energy. Energy isn’t good or bad. It is simply in the wrong place causing it to be out of sync with its environment. It is displaced energy and that is in the body that does not belong there will cause illness. Shamans will use a variety of methods to locate that misplaced energy and remove it. Methods of energy removal include sucking, sound, plucking, transformation, feather movement, changes in body temperatures, the use of auras, crystals and other methods. The process can be very still and quiet or full of dance, song, drumming and rattling.

Where Does Misplaced Energy Come From?

Misplaced energy often comes from emotions. Shamans view emotions as a manifestation of energy. Stress, anger, frustration and emotions can “collect” and cause illness. A common example of this is the ulcer that is caused by stress. You can also “collect” anger from others. Have you ever been in a room and thought or said “you can cut the tensions with a knife”? Others can project their anger out and away from themselves without intention and, also, with intention. Misplaced energy can also “collect” over time from an old injury.

So, again energy is not good or bad…it just does not belong there and a shaman will remove it through extraction.
