"Protection: How to with Betsy Bergstrom" on the February 24 Episode of Why Shamanism Now?
On her radio show "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity,” teacher, author, and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt welcomes shaman Betsy Bergstrom back to the show to talk about how to protect ourselves from the effect of bad days, the draining energy of others’ demands – from anything that isn’t supportive of our health and life expression.
Portland, OR, February 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Voice America Network (www.voiceamerica.com) on Wednesday, February 24 at 2 pm Pacific time/5 pm Eastern time, on the show "Why Shamanism Now?", Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing founder Christina Pratt talks once again to teacher and full time shaman Betsy Bergstrom, about one of the topics most popular among the show’s listeners: energetic protection.
On this week’s show, Pratt and Bergstrom explore “how to” protect yourself by answering the questions: How do you protect yourself, even on your really bad days? How do you protect the energy of your life, so that it is not drained or used by others? How do you protect the energy of your dreams? Bergstrom is a master of the Middleworld -- the realm filled with energies that aren’t helpful for our health or life expression – and specializes in unraveling thought forms and curses, the removal of unwanted energies, and heart-centered shamanic healing.
In an earlier show with Pratt titled “Your Most Powerful Ally”, Bergstrom passionately and clearly discussed with Pratt the shamanic concepts related to protection, like mediumship, compassionate beings, and attuning to energies This week Bergstrom and Pratt continue that conversation by exploring how listeners can protect themselves in a variety of situations, with and without shamanic skills, and all from a light and heart-centered perspective.
Christina Pratt is an authentic, non-traditional contemporary shaman. 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.
Betsy Bergstrom is a full-time Shamanic Practitioner who has studied with shamans and healers from many cultures. She is a graduate of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies 3-Year Program, and has been trained by a number of indigenous shamans and healers who have encouraged her and shared with her their wonderful teachings. She has worked in various fields of Alternative Healing for nearly 20 years. Her calling is to work in partnership with the Helping Spirits, to help the living and with the dead. Bergstrom’s work in Heart Centered Shamanic Depossession defuses the fear many people feel in approaching the work of clearing and depossession. More information on Bergstrom and her work can be found at www.betsybergstrom.com.
