Igniting the Ecstatic Heart: Shamanic Practice 2 on Sept. 16 Why Shamanism Now? Radio Show

PORTLAND, Ore. - Sept. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, September 16, at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt offers her view that a spiritual life is nothing but dogma and deception without the heart’s active presence. Pratt tells listeners that the heart’s active presence will soon wander, bored to death with you, if you refuse to engage regularly and intimately with ecstasy. Ecstasy -- the falling into the fire naked losing yourself to the One surrender ecstasy that comes in union with your helping spirits -- is one of the great gifts of spiritual life in a shamanic practice. So then why are our shamanic practices so stodgy, precious, (frankly) boring, and ineffective in creating large-scale life change?

In this week’s episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “Igniting the Ecstatic Heart: Shamanic Practice 2”, Pratt explores the necessary terror in igniting the ecstatic heart, and how to keep the fire of true love burning at the core of your shamanic practice while you passionately engage the world.

Christina Pratt is a contemporary shaman specializing 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 book An Encyclopedia of Shamanism clearly discusses 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, 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.
