Shamanism
Shamanism
is the oldest healing tradition in the world. The
shaman serves as a communicator between the physical
and the spiritual worlds using various ceremonies
and rituals. Traditionally this term refers to an
indigenous healer. This term is mostly associated
with a medicine man or woman of many Native American
cultures and applicable to any tribal healer. There
are many variations of shamanism throughout the world.
Shamanism comprises a range of traditional beliefs
and practices regarding communicating with the spirit
world through ritual, prayer, dream work, drumming
and movement, to attain non-ordinary states of consciousness
and to awaken spiritual abilities and a deeper connection
with with nature. Shamanism is used to reconnect each
person to their essence, their core - to nature and
to spirit. Leeza has acquired many useful practices
and applies this knowledge and wisdom in her healing
practice.

Indigenous
Wisdom
Indigenous
means a people’s ancestral connection to place.
This may be as large in scope as continental such
as the Australian Aborigines, North or South American
First Nations or more localized areas such as parts
of Asia, Russia, Central Africa, Mexico or specific
local area such as BC or Northern Mexican tribes.
Much of indigenous knowledge is time tested wisdom
that has been passed down through millennia in successive
generations from before written history and which
has developed into practices and traditions. Some
of this wisdom has been formalized into religious
structures.
Indigenous wisdom is often retained or imbedded in
specific practices designed to create a wider awareness
and spiritual connection to other layers of meaning
and dimensions of reality. These practices are expressed
through combining the use of plant life with their
own special qualities, sound, prayer, ceremony, and
ritual. All this is used for the healing of personal
and planetary issues. Through her studies, Leeza has
acquired many useful practices and applies this knowledge
and wisdom in her healing practice.

Prayer
Essentially,
prayer, whether it is through recitation, song, or
other ways, consists of creating a connection or communion
through your own higher self to what is usually referred
to as a higher power or God.
The act of reciting a prayer is best described by
the Russian word for prayer – Молишся
- 'Molishsya'. This is comprised of two words
‘molish’ - meaning entreating, asking,
etc. in the conventional understanding of prayer and
the suffix ‘sya’ or self. In other words,
you are talking yourself into a higher state of consciousness
to access that part of your self that is masked when
your attention and intentions are focused on the everyday
items before you.
Prayer is a reminder to ourselves that we have an
immortal part within us – our soul, and it is
only through that higher part of ourselves that we
have access to the universal energy in which we all
exist and find our being.
The main currency in this transaction is love and
that is why true prayer can only come from the heart
connection and carried on the intention of love and
compassion to all.
