“Money, Power and Shamanism” on April 2 “Why Shamanism Now?” Radio Show with Host Christina Pratt

Portland, OR, March 31, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, April 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 answers the question: What is the relationship between our internal richness and monetary wealth? According to Pratt, money gives us a place to project all of our unresolved issues about our own rank, privilege, and power. And money is a power object imbued with power by its user to make change in the world. But how does spirit view money? “Money is not the root of all evil,” explains Pratt. “People are.”

In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “Money, Power, and Shamanism,” Pratt tells listeners that money is a cultural agreement that we can use to help or to harm each other. Seen in this way, money is another expression of our energy in the world. Shamanic wisdom from around the globe tells us that money, like all energy, must move to be well. And in that movement we must stay out of the stagnation of greed and scarcity or the agitation of spending more than we have for reasons that do not matter. Pratt notes that to remain in right relationship with money, we must choose to be accountable for the flow of energy in the interchange of love, knowledge, and work in the physical and nonphysical world with gratitude, responsibility, and reciprocity. In this way, we cultivate the internal richness needed to sustain the true power of action in our own lives.
