"Shamanism, Abandonment, and Fulfillment" on December 6 "Why Shamanism Now?" with Christina Pratt
On "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity", host Christina Pratt talks about fear of abandonment, how it sabotages us, and how doing shamanic work can not only heal this, but use this fear to lead to greater fulfillment.

JERSEY CITY, NJ, December 05, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, December 6, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt talks about how fear of abandonment, separation, or banishment is one of the great life hobblers, never quite stopping us from moving toward health, vitality, and our soul's purpose, but effectively keeping us lame and unable to satisfy this core life journey toward our self. The irony in the fear of abandonment we carry from the past is that it inspires us to abandon our selves again and again in present time.

In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Shamanism, Abandonment, and Fulfillment", Pratt tells listeners "The unique logic of shamanic work allows us to slice open the debilitating infinite loop of abandonment and dig out the core. At the core of abandonment lies the seed to fulfillment and deep intimacy with self." However, to harvest that seed we must be willing to "return to the scene of the crime" as it is carried in our bodies, release the memory, sense of debt, and remorse, and grasp the True Value that we hid there. With the help of our spirit guides and our own True Value firmly in our grasp, we can return to present time and come to know what mattered to us so much as a child that we would risk abandonment to move toward it. According to Pratt, when we renew our relationship with what really matters to our heart, our True Value, we inspire our natural movement toward alignment with self and the richly satisfying fulfillment of our soul's purpose.
