The Heart of Fear on November 4 Why Shamanism Now Radio Show with Shaman and Host Christina Pratt

PORTLAND, Ore. - Nov. 2, 2014 - PRLog -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, November 4, 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 notes that everything has a heart, even fear. According to Pratt, in our chronic, cultural avoidance of fear, we miss the heart of the matter, and in that, miss the way through the fear and into a new way of living. Instead, we delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped only to find ourselves cycling through our litany of fear-based stories, day after day, relationship after relationship. “With the intelligence that comes through us in shamanic journeying,” explains Pratt, “We can get past the anxiety and panic and touch the heart of the matter. Once at the heart of things all manner of interesting possiblities unfold.”

In this week’s episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “The Heat of Fear”, Pratt explores the elemental nature of fear and the path rarely taken through the heart of it.

Christina Pratt is a contemporary shaman specializing in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible.
