Portland, OR, August 22, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, August 26, 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 what we diagnose as “mental illness” today grows ever more resistant to reason, logic, pharmaceuticals, or medicine, and asks the question: What if these are not illnesses of the mind, but diseases of the spirit? Pratt talks about author and scholar, David Tacey, who explores how we would understand and treat mental illness if we understood that by shutting spirit out of our lives with our beliefs, we have forced spirit to enter through the side door of illness. According to Tacey, when we understand how spirit is trying to work with us through disease, we can see that our suffering can be resolved or transformed only when we introduce the dimension of our soul into the healing equation.
In this week’s episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “A Shamanic View of Mental Illness - Tacey”, Pratt shares Tacey’s work from his book, Gods and Diseases, which offers a powerful example of the way in which looking at mental illness through a different lens opens up new possible paths to health and well-being.
