JERSEY CITY, NJ, August 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, August 30, 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 a question posed by many listeners: What do you do after a shamanic healing experience? Pratt starts by explaining why a shamanic healing is needed in the first place. According to Pratt, in past times, people lived in a way that they saw soul loss in each other as it happened. They noticed the dampening of spirit, the loss of energy, and the absence within the person that they love. They noticed the presence of the dead and other intruding spirits. They knew what to notice and got the healing that they needed. "Traditional people didn't integrate their shamanic healings," explains Pratt, "because they didn't need to. The healing came before they had time to adjust to the damage. Today we adjust to the damage and carry on, often taking 10 to 20 years before we find the shamanic healing that we need. Integration after shamanic healing is needed today because we need to un-adjust in all the ways we adjusted." Pratt tells listeners that soul loss has become the story we tell about how we "have never been the same since..." Energies intrude into our lives throughout the day, feeding our growing anxiety, depression, and compensation through addiction. We struggle with isolation and loneliness, blind to the help all around us, and telling our children to stop talking to their imaginary friends.

In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Soul Integration and Shamanic Healing", Pratt explores what is actually happening in a shamanic healing and—even more importantly—what one needs to do to integrate these experiences and gain the most depth and breadth from the transformation.
