Greetings!

Austin Shamanic Center is a safe, compassionate resource for stepping into your self actualization, opening the door for you to claim your very best self. We help people heal from trauma, abuse, and a multitude of unconscious blocks that impede their healthy self expression. At the personal level we do this with Andean based energy healing sessions, personal in depth transformational ceremonies, and through spiritual mentorships and integration sessions.

What Does “Shamanic" Mean at ASC?

The word “shaman” is a loaded one and carries with it many different  interpretations and biases. At ASC we use the word, generally, to indicate that while we work with the psyche, our practices transcend formal psychological processes and are instead based on the cosmology and energy medicine of the Andes of Peru. The Andeans do not, however, call themselves shamans, they call themselves paqos. We use the word shaman because it is better known and to emphasize that our work is based on indigenous energy medicine practices and concepts that are considered spiritual in nature. In this tradition the psyche is an energetic substrate or field whose level of coherence determines our psychological and physiological health. The aim of this work is to address dysfunction at the origin of the problem, which is both unconscious and energetic, because the unconscious is energetic. When we can unearth the unconscious drivers of our dysfunction we can then restructure the energetic disorganization that is creating our symptoms, which are usually rooted in unresolved trauma and bring through a more coherent expression of self. As we bring this coherence to our psyche, our mental, emotional, and chronic physiological irregularities downstream can resolve. 

Do We Have Permission?

In this time of concerns about cultural appropriation this is a valid question to ask. When one studies this tradition one finds that the master teachers of  believe that sharing their wisdom is part of their ayni, or give back, to the world. So yes, we have permission, it is implicit within the tradition. It is a tradition that bridges differences and heals with Munay, or love. In fact they lead the way in remembering that we are all different, but complimentary, and that harmonizing those difference is the key to our mutual survival.

Where to start:

There are many paths up the mountain at ASC, and all of them are focused, and offered, in a professional context. You can begin your journey with listening to some of Christina's podcast interviews. if those call you then you can book one-on-one healings and mentoring, or you can take either of the introductory workshops we offer: the Online Introduction to Andean Mysticism workshop, which is open to anyone wanting just a taste of the shamanic wisdom we teach at ASC, and the Tools for the SuperCeptor class, a workshp for people who are innately sensitive to energies and psychic disturbances. Neither of these require prerequisites.

Going Deeper:

For those of you ready to jump in the pool and swim, we have the Andean Mystical Paqo Path Training (AMPP) series, a 2 month online program for people who want to walk the path. The basis of this series is that you have within you a seed of self energy that wants to express itself. The path of the paqo is to use energy practices to bring that self through and let it shine. While a must for training to be a paqo, this series is for anyone who wants to do just that! Taking this series provides the foundational understanding necessary to progress to all the other more advanced classes we offer, both online and in Austin Texas. 

Applying Your Tools

For those who have completed the Andean Mystical Paqo Path Training and want to become professional healers, consider our premier Energy Medicine Certification program. This is an intensive set of online set of courses that draw on the Andean Energy practices in the AMPP series and then blend it with current psychological concepts, cutting edge trauma neuroscience, breath work, somatic release, and other shamanic practices to help the client truly heal. This blend amplifies the traditional Andean energy medicine work and accelerates healing by effectively transcending the fear locked mind, allowing for expansion, neurological reset, somatic release, and integration work, within one session. The result is deep healing from trauma, abuse, and other forms of dysfunction that have been resistant to talk therapy, and often times the opening for physical healing that had remained illusive. All classes are high caliper and rigorous, exploring the basis of trauma, and applying shamanic techniques to both transcend dysfunctional neuropathways and to  the energetics of the troubled soul. 

Circles of Community

Once you have taken the core AMPP class you are welcome to join our online Paqo Circle of Coherence group and if you are local to Austin Tx. we have both a quarterly Despacho Drum Ceremony circle and a Women’s Talking Stick Brunch. These local circles are held privately, so get to know us through classes and healing/mentoring sessions and we will extend you an invitation!

Step Into The Magic:

The Andean paqos of Peru use the word “ayni,” or “right relationship,” to speak of restoring harmony. Bringing things into ayni is the basis for all healing and because it amounts to reciprocity or feedback with the Universe, it is a measure of our Soul Consciousness. When we are in a high state of ayni we are more congruent with Source Consciousness, rain falls where it is needed, friends call when we are blue, and our ailing minds and bodies heal. As we become psychically clear and energetically restored, we reclaim our personal radiance, and miracles happen in our worlds!
