“How Do I Find My Soul’s Purpose” on August 2 “Why Shamanism Now?” with Christina Pratt

July 26, 2011 - PRLog -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, August 2, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tells explains that one’s soul’s purpose is the cornerstone of well-being, from a shamanic perspective and answers the question: how do we find it?  Because, according to Pratt, without it we are lost.  With it one’s physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health come together as an integrated whole.  The gifts that one gives to the world as an expression of one’s soul’s purpose have never been seen before …and will never be seen again if one does not bring them. Pratt tells listeners that this life is the one moment to live that unique genius.  But how do know you are living your soul’s purpose?  What are the practical, daily things anyone could do to find and live their soul’s purpose?

In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “How Do I Find My Soul’s Purpose”, Pratt answers those questions by exploring the things we can do to bring ourselves in touch with our passion, because our passion—freed from addiction and obsession—is the mainline connection to our soul’s purpose.  According to Pratt, our purpose does not live in the ethereal realms of spirit, visions, and dreams.  It lives in our body, deep within the root of being where we carry our piece of the original spark of life. To touch that original spark each day, we must release the lies we tell ourselves each day. To touch that spark we must accept the truth: the truth that we are One-with-all-things, innately worthy, and destined through our unique soul’s purpose to bring greatness to the world.

In practice since 1990, she specializes in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible.  A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life. Her well-received book, An Encyclopedia of Shamanism (Rosen), is an 800-page, two-volume set with over 750 in-depth entries that clearly discuss the basic concepts of shamanism, methods, and traditions of over 50 different shamanic peoples. Pratt is the founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing in Portland, OR, and New York, NY, creator of the original Foundations of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing course at the University of Minnesota, and a frequent and honored speaker for the American Holistic Medical Association.
