Leslie Bryan, Shamanic Healing Practitioner

    About My Work


INTRODUCTION (Back to Top)

Traditional and contemporary Shamanic ritual are the foundation of my healing practice. Within that framework I also use principles of Esoteric (energy) Healing and Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy. I work with people who have physical ailments, as well as those who are stuck or blocked in their lives.

Hospice is another aspect of my practice; working with the dying and their families. I see people in the hospital or their homes and do healing work by long distance when required.









SHAMANIC HEALING (Back to Top)

Shamanic Healing Protocols:
Power Animal Retrieval

Extraction of energetic intrusions

Soul Retrieval

Depossession

Healing with Spiritual Light

Creation of Rituals

*********************************

Shamanism is an ancient healing art.  Today it is used to describe healers from many different cultures who journey outside of time and space to treat illness.

Shamans believe there are four major causes of illness: power loss, intrusion, soul loss and possession.  Power loss refers to the loss of a helping spirit that joins us at birth and helps us throughout our lives.  Intrusion is the appearance in the body of energy that does not belong.  Soul loss may occur during a traumatic event such as an accident, surgery or death of a loved one.  Possession is an unwelcome spirit in our energy field.

Contemporary Shamans use spiritual light as a healing tool.

I begin each session with rituals such as lighting a candle, burning incense and drumming.  The sound of the drumming takes me on a journey in which I connect to my helping spirits and ask them for information or healing that is important for you.  After the journey I explain to you what I have seen and learned.



ESOTERIC HEALING (Back to Top)

Esoteric Healing Protocols:

Clearing and balancing the chakras,organs, glands, and systems of the body

****************************

An energy field surrounds and permeates all living beings. It is the scaffolding for the structure of our physical body. Within the human energy field are seven major centers. Each of these energizes or vitalizes a related nerve center, endocrine gland and internal organ system. If a center becomes unbalanced or restricted the associated nerves, glands or organs will be detrimentally affected. This can result in disease on the physical, emotional, or mental levels.

 I am able to recognize the specific areas and/or organs where energy is weak or congested. Then, using precise balancing techniques, I bring all the levels of the body's energy field to a more flowing, healthy state. I work at variable distances from the body.



CRANIAL SACRAL THERAPY (Back to Top)

Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy Healing Protocols:

Palpating the rhythms of the fluids and tissues of the body

Facilitating the release of trapped energy

Restoring the natural rhythm of the system
**************************

At a deep level of our physiology, healthy tissue subtly "breathes" with the motion of life and produces a rhythmic pulse. This is carried through the fluids of the body, particularly the cerebrospinal fluid. When this rhythm is expressed in fullness and balance, there is a state of health and well-being. Illness, trauma or stress may become trapped within the body and cause a disruption in the fluid rhythm.

By placing my hands on various areas of the body in a non-invasive way I listen to the body as it describes the subtle rhythm in the fluid and tissues. I hold the rhythm to help balance or resolve the trapped forces that govern patterns of disease and fragmentation in both body and mind. Finally, I facilitate the expression of the "Breath of Life" which enhances the body's self-healing capabilities. 




HOSPICE (Back to Top)



Dying is part of the normal process of living; it is a rite of passage. Each person has a distinct journey through the end of life. In order to aid people in their journey I am a compassionate presence; I support wherever the person is in this process. My healing work helps provide relief from pain, anxiety, and fear--without the use of drugs.
 
             **********

In the fall of 2008, I worked with a hospice volunteer in-training.  She told me that she was a documentary film maker and that she had this vision of making a film about hospice volunteers.  What a grand idea! I said.  But  thought nothing more about it until I was contacted in the spring of 2009 and was asked to be part of the film which was in pre-production.

And now I would like to share with you the trailer of the documentary, "Lessons for the Living,"  that film maker Lily Henderson has produced.  I am very honored to be part of this project.  The film is a dream from the heart for Lily.  The entire cast and crew have donated their hearts, time and equipment to make it a reality.

I hope you enjoy!  Please pass it along to your friends if you feel so inclined.



MEDICINE FOR THE EARTH (Back to Top)

This is a contemporary Shamanic practice that transforms both personal and environmental toxins by using Spiritual Light. Who we are affects the world we live in: "As above, so below, As within, so without" (an esoteric principle).


Medicine for the Earth is a modern day alchemy, changing the nature of a substance. Alchemists sought to change lead into gold. Today we seek to transform heavy energy into light.

SPACE CLEARING AND BLESSING (Back to Top)

I create rituals and ceremonies to remove the presence of old energies or spirits from homes, apartment, offices, or land.
