Frequently Asked Questions

A shaman is someone who is regarded as having access to the Spirit realm, along with the power and skill to influence it, which results in immediate changes in the physical realm.

Shamanic healing is an advanced form of energy healing. It involves techniques that harmonize the energetic or spiritual body, which results in automatic and typically immediate pain relief, as well as the automatic restoration of the physical body to an optimal state of health. The shamanic healing we offer consists of several techniques including sacred breathwork, focused thought, advanced vibrational entrainment techniques, and the correcting of energy flow throughout the body’s energetic anatomy. Some of the energetic organ systems focused on in a shamanic healing session include the meridian system, chakra system, and auric field to name a few. This approach can also result in a much needed emotional release which accelerates the healing process even more, on a mental, physical and soul level.

Entrainment is the natural process that occurs when two different oscillating forces or substances, vibrating at different speeds, come into close proximity with one another. By simply being within close enough range to one another, each vibration influences the other in a way that causes the different vibrational speeds or frequencies to become more and more alike over time, eventually resulting in both forces or substances having a frequency that is exactly the same. If no outside forces are involved in holding either original frequency in place, the lower frequency increases to meet the higher one, and the higher frequency decreases to meet the lower one as they are “pulling” on each other, resulting in a final shared frequency somewhere in the middle of the original starting points. An example of this natural phenomenon is when two pendulum clocks with their pendulums oscillating at different speeds are placed on a wall next to each other to sit for a long period of time. Without any interference, eventually the pendulums will be oscillating at the exact same speed. The final speed they will share is determined by the strength of each individual pendulum. If both pendulums have the exact same strength, the resulting speed will be the exact midpoint of the original speeds.

The experience varies from client to client, and even from session to session for returning clients. However, typically clients can anticipate a wide range of common sensory responses including vibratory sensations such as “pins and needles,” or rushes of cooling energy throughout the body, changes in temperature at different stages of the session, increase in blood flow, release of tension or tightness, significant and swift pain relief, and/or noticeable feelings of an enormous weight being lifted. Clients often report feeling extremely “light” and sometimes have visions of, or visitations from ancestors, and/or vivid mental images of different symbolic colors, numbers, shapes, animations, as well as meaningful scenery unfolding in a certain way. Our practitioner engages in sacred breathing techniques throughout the session as well, with the use of different hand positions, hand movements, and the vocal use of sacred sounds in order to activate or redirect energy flow throughout the client’s body. Other tools are sometimes incorporated such as background music, prayer, chanting, and the use of rattles, feathers, etc., depending on the situation. Ultimately, you can expect to experience immediate pain relief, accelerated restoration of the body, a more balanced mental and emotional state, a heightened and long-lasting sense of relaxation, and a renewed state of balance, centeredness, harmony and wholeness. You can also view our "Testimonials” page and read through the multiple testimonials provided in order to see what other clients have experienced.

Shamanic healing does not have any harmful side effects. On the contrary, healing sessions often consist of acquiring much more energy and vitality on several levels. However, in some instances, especially when deep healing is occurring, you may begin to feel very tired during the session or afterwards. This is perfectly natural and is partially a result of the body performing work to heal itself on a level that it is not currently used to. This experience may also be due to the body having to process new information that has now been revealed in response to energy flow blockages being removed during the session. Examples of this include the total recall of forgotten impactful memories, and new revelations about past experiences that reframe the client’s perception. It is also common for clients to experience a deep emotional release either during or immediately after a healing session, which can also occur hours or even days later. It is important to be mindful that if this occurs, it is a perfectly normal experience. This type of emotional release is absolutely beneficial to achieving a greater and more sustained level of well-being as suppressed emotions can wreck havoc on the body’s attempt to heal itself, as well as contribute to serious health issues. You may even experience an immediate disappearance of debilitating health conditions once an emotional release has occurred as well as a refreshing sense of clarity, which is likely to have profound benefits in several areas of your life. If fatigue occurs as a result of an energy session, it is merely a matter of getting proper rest afterwards and allowing the body time to restore itself more fully before engaging in any strenuous activity.

Our practitioner has been actively facilitating successful shamanic healing sessions since 2007, and since that time has continued to learn and incorporate additional methods including the use of health-focused astrology, holistic nutrition, wellness supplementation, and wellness product technology.

Yes. There are several testimonials available for you to view on our “Testimonials” page, and more are continuously added as they are submitted by our clients. The link for the “Testimonials” page can be found in the main menu at the top of any page on this website, or in the “Resources” section at the bottom of any page. We highly encourage you to read through them in order to get a better understanding of the amazing benefits you can receive from the services we offer.

No. Shamanic healing is a non-religious experience. Anyone practicing any form of religion can receive shamanic healing without any concern of it conflicting with their religious practice or religious beliefs. It involves working with a person’s subtle body, which is a natural aspect of human biology and has nothing to do with religious affiliation in any way.

No. While some approaches to healing may very well require a client’s involvement in the area of belief or trust in the process in order to experience desired results, shamanic healing is very different in the sense that it involves much more than faith and intention. Although intention, faith and focused thought are all powerful, and very beneficial contributing factors to the healing process, shamanic healing deals directly with the natural functions of the energetic anatomy. The energetic anatomy is a human biological system, with its processes automatically linked to how a person’s physical and emotional systems perform and operate. The shaman does all of the work, and the client automatically benefits.

Yes. Reiki is a wonderful energetic approach to healing and has many similarities to shamanic healing, including focused thought, intention, faith, and to some degree - vibrational entrainment. However, shamanic healing specifically deals with far more advanced techniques that provide a much more powerful form of healing energy to the client, in particular sacred breathwork as well as specific body-awareness techniques the practitioner uses in order to empower the healing energy to much higher levels of efficiency. Perhaps even more importantly, it involves the practitioner’s ability to maintain their own high-level energy frequency while in direct contact with the energy of the client regardless of the level of energy the client is operating from or how severe the client’s current condition is. This is a much more powerful and immediate form of vibrational entrainment than what reiki has to offer. It is for this reason that when compared to reiki, shamanic healing results in a much faster, more efficient, more promising restoration of the body, as well as a far greater likelihood of long-term sustainability.

Shamanic healing is capable of successfully addressing a full-spectrum of physical issues, as well as issues that are even of a mental or emotional nature. From minor or slightly severe conditions to emergency conditions that are considered to be life-threatening, and everything in-between, shamanic healing can address them all.

Shamanic healing sessions offered by Rev. Shawn Wells Goldman typically last from approximately 1 hour to approximately 4 hours long, depending on the severity of the ailment being addressed.

While every individual situation is different as well as every person, and specific outcomes can not be guaranteed, the techniques that Rev. Shawn Wells Goldman uses during shamanic healing sessions are highly advanced and typically result in immediate pain relief, accelerated healing, and total elimination of a given condition with only one session. Different session level options are available, ranging from routine restoration to extreme crisis or life-threatening situations. Clients are encouraged to monitor their progress over a period of days or weeks before any final conclusions are made as to whether an additional follow-up session would be needed to finalize the same issue. Healing is likely to continue for an extended period of time after the session is over while the body continues the restoration process.

No. Receiving shamanic healing while taking medications could only either enhance the efficiency of the medications, reduce the side effects of the medications, reduce any supposed need for the medications, or some combination of all of these, if there is any noticeable influence on the medications at all.

Yes. Not only are long-distance healing sessions just as effective as receiving a session in-person, but in some cases it is even more effective. Once you have experienced a long-distance healing session, you may find that this type of session will be more of your preference for several reasons. Many clients choose long-distance healing sessions because they can be in the comfort of their own home. This level of privacy, especially at home, greatly contributes to the relaxation process, and the more relaxed you are, the more effective the healing process is. Because we are working with energy and the power of focused thought, the amount of distance between the client and the practitioner is of no consequence and does not diminish the effectiveness of the healing process whatsoever as long as the practitioner has the means to hold their focus on the client, and on the physical areas of concern that are being addressed in any given moment. This is where the use of a client photograph or a visual aid via virtual video platform comes in. Something else to consider is that after receiving a healing session, you might feel very tired as your body possibly wants to continue the healing process on deep levels. Long-distance healing can provide you with the freedom to go to sleep immediately after the session is over in order to restore your energy. And since relaxation assists with the healing process, and sleep is the ultimate level of relaxation, going to sleep for an unlimited amount of time immediately after your healing session offers a wonderful opportunity to increase the effectiveness of the healing that is occurring in your body. You can even allow yourself to go to sleep during the actual session, feeling completely safe in the privacy of your own space. It offers convenience, saves time, and completely eliminates travel costs as well as other potential travel issues such as planetary location. Some clients do favor in-person healing sessions for the experience of being supported by a practitioner’s physical presence, especially in cases where deep healing is occurring, but it is good to know you have options based on your individual needs. Each client when well informed of these differences in benefit typically knows which type of session, in-person vs. long-distance, is best for them. However, feel free to experiment with both in order to compare the two. It is also important to note that you may prefer in-person healing sessions during certain circumstances, and long-distance sessions during others. Ultimately, long-distance healing is at the very least, just as effective.

Yes, with the following conditions. For any healing session you book for someone else you must have received permission to do so from the person receiving the healing session as well as explained to the person receiving the healing session the nature of shamanic healing to the best of your ability, including the necessary use of a client photograph or virtual video platform for any long-distance healing sessions, as well as all other information on the “Terms and Conditions” page relevant to the person receiving the healing session. In some instances you may be unable to communicate these things to the person you are wanting to book the healing session for due to certain factors such as mental illness or incapacitation (e.g. coma or lack of consciousness, episodes of amnesia, severe autism, etc.). In situations such as these you may book the session on the client’s behalf as long as our practitioner concludes that it is appropriate to facilitate a healing session for them without their explicit consent. This conclusion will be made by the process of divination in order for our practitioner to obtain this consent from Spirit. As the purchaser of the healing session service, you will be required to agree to the Terms and Conditions on the other person’s behalf upon booking the session.

No. Shamanic healing sessions are not covered by insurance of any kind.

Astrology is not at all evil. There are many misconceptions about astrology due to assumptions, lack of education, and an abundance of purposeful miseducation in order to steer people away from the huge benefits that an in-depth study of astrology can provide in the area of self discovery. Just as anything else, the concept of evil is more about how something is used rather than the thing itself. Astrology is a tool. It is an energetic blueprint that reveals a persons tendencies, strengths, weaknesses, health obstacles, needs, wants, likes, dislikes, desires, challenges, soul purpose, etc. It is a cosmic map of the energetic environment that a person is born into, and thus reveals the influences that describe ones personality in every area of their life. The more we understand ourselves, the more we are able to make informed decisions that allow us to live the most productive life possible. Astrology is knowledge of self. When it is used with pure intentions to assist others, such as for the purpose of healing or providing guidance to someone in need of direction and understanding, it is arguably the most beneficial tool we have in our hands.

Currently, the astrology readings we offer include the areas of finance, relationships, relocation, forecasts, parenting, and event scheduling.

Cartomancy is a form of divination using a regular deck of playing cards. The deck is shuffled and a random spread of cards is read in order to reveal certain circumstances currently unfolding in the life of the client. By reading this card spread, the practitioner is able to pinpoint current issues at hand, and solutions to potential problems that the client may be facing.

Cartomancy is not evil. Cartomancy, like astrology, is a form of divination. It is a method of reading energy that allows us to see beyond the surface of things, further into the details of what has occurred, what is currently in place, and what will occur in the future if no alterations are made in a person’s course of action. Unfortunately, due to assumptions, miseducation, and lack of proper education, it is widely believed that exploring these areas beyond the surface of things is improper and inappropriate. However, this is simply not true. Just as astrology is a tool that can be used in different ways, so is cartomancy. Evil is a concept that always applies to how a tool is used and not the tool itself. With proper intention, cartomancy or any other form of divination which is used in order to assist someone by providing clarity, guidance and direction can be of immeasurable benefit to someone’s life.

Cartomancy is the use of playing cards and is actually very similar to tarot. As a matter of fact, the very structure of playing cards is actually found within the structure of tarot. Tarot consists of 3 levels of cards, the major arcana, royal arcana, and minor arcana. The deck of playing cards is literally a combination of the royal arcana and minor arcana. The only level of cards in the tarot deck not present in playing cards is the major arcana. Everything else about the deck structure is the same, with the one and only exception being that one “face card” of each suit is missing in the deck of playing cards. However, the deck of playing cards as a divination tool is also its own separate system and operates in its own unique way. Different forms of divination are used by different people based on individual style, gifts, personality and preferences.

Divination is the use of certain tools, objects, or information in order to read the underlying energy of the physical realm. It provides a view of the unseen realms, which is very beneficial in deepening our understanding of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going if no changes are made with how we are presently moving forward in our life journey. If we want to experience different outcomes than those which are to happen based on how we are currently operating, divination can provide us with information describing certain outcomes that may be more ideal, and what is needed to be done in order to change course and achieve these ideal outcomes.

An ancestor elevation service is a private ritual done by Rev. Shawn Wells Goldman on the client’s behalf. It is a ritual that typically lasts from 7 to 9 days and consists of specific rites meant to strengthen the position and condition of an ancestor chosen by the client. This ritual typically results in the client establishing a deeper connection with their ancestor, and an enhanced state of awareness, centeredness, certainty, peace, harmony and overall well-being for this particular person residing in the spirit realm. After the ritual is complete the client can anticipate an activation or enhancement of communication with their ancestor in the form of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, dreams, etc., as well as magnified presence, support and guidance from this spirit.

Familiar spirit divination is a 7-day ritual with Pinga, Rev. Shawn Wells Goldman’s familiar spirit, performed in private on the client’s behalf. Pinga is able to retrieve and deliver hidden information to Rev. Shawn Wells Goldman from the spirit realm, providing revelations, guidance, direction and solutions for clients. A follow-up appointment will be scheduled after the completion of the ritual in order to discuss the results at no extra charge.

Subconscious mind divination is a shamanic journey taken by Rev. Shawn Wells Goldman for the purpose of accessing the client’s subconscious mind. Influential causes of life circumstances, conditions, and patterns will be uncovered, and afterwards discussed along with any additional vital information revealed during the journey. Topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, solution-based instructions, visions in the form of symbols or totems, ancestor visitations, and client relationships or partnerships with spirits that would be beneficial if embraced and explored.

No. All purchases are final for all metaphysical services provided by our practitioner with the client’s understanding that anticipated results are never guaranteed.
