Shamanism is a spiritual practice that has been used for thousands of years by indigenous cultures around the world. It involves connecting with the natural world and tapping into spiritual energies to achieve wholeness and balance in one's life.

Shamanic practices can help survivors of domestic violence to heal from the trauma and regain their sense of self.

One of the ways that Shamanism can help survivors of domestic violence is through soul retrieval. Soul retrieval is a Shamanic practice that involves retrieving parts of the soul that have been lost or fragmented due to trauma. Survivors of domestic violence often experience a loss of self or a feeling of disconnection from their own bodies. Soul retrieval can help them to regain these lost parts of themselves and feel more whole and connected.

Another Shamanic practice that can be helpful for survivors of domestic violence is journeying.

Journeying involves entering a trance-like state and traveling to other realms of consciousness to gain insight and healing. Journeying can help survivors of domestic violence to confront and process their trauma in a safe and supportive environment.

Shamanic healing can also involve working with power animals. Power animals are spiritual allies that can provide guidance, protection, and support. Survivors of domestic violence can work with power animals to help them feel safe and protected as they navigate their healing journey.

"Often it isn’t the initiating trauma that creates seemingly insurmountable pain, but the lack of support after."

Finally, Shamanic practices can help survivors of domestic violence to reconnect with their own inner strength and resilience. Survivors of domestic violence often feel powerless and helpless in the face of their trauma. Shamanism can help them to tap into their own innate power and find the strength to move forward and rebuild their lives.

In conclusion, Shamanic practices can be a powerful tool for survivors of domestic violence to heal and reclaim their sense of self. Soul retrieval, journeying, working with power animals, and reconnecting with inner strength and resilience are all ways that Shamanism can help survivors of domestic violence to get back on their feet and move forward with their lives. If you or someone you know is a survivor of domestic violence, consider exploring Shamanic practices as a way to support healing and personal growth.
