In recent weeks, I
have had the pleasure and privilege to perform Shamanic Death Rites on several
deceased people at the request of one of their loved ones. I say pleasure and privilege because I really
enjoy doing this kind of work and because it is true service work not only for the
deceased but their family and loved ones as well.
Traditionally, it
has been the task of the shaman to assist a person through the dying and death
process and to make sure that they get to where they are supposed to go. That
means that they sit by the bedside and energetically assist through the whole process. In these times, that very rarely happens
unless the practitioner is associated with an organization like hospice and has
the permission of the family to do their shamanic ceremonies at the bedside, or
is a relative of the dying person.
Personally, I have never had a request to do that, so I mainly assist
the deceased weeks or even many years after they have passed. I was not even at the bedside of either of my
parents when they passed, so was not able to assist in person.
Here is a summary of
the process. Once the appropriate loved
one has requested the rites for the deceased, I sit down and track their
whereabouts on the other side. The first
thing I need to find out is whether they went to the light upon death. Now, those of you who have been steady
readers of this blog know that if you maintain consciousness after you leave
your body for the final time, you do NOT go to the light, as that puts you right
back on the wheel of reincarnation. Hopefully
you have attained a high enough vibrational level to bypass this system and exit
the 4th dimensional matrix altogether.
If I find that the
deceased has not gone to the light, or in other words, they are an earth bound
spirit, the first thing I do is send them to the light. I do not have the power or permission to send
them out of the 4 D matrix. That is a
matter between themselves and their soul and how they lived their life here on earth. There are many reasons why a soul would not
go to the light, including a traumatic or sudden death, being unconscious or in
a coma at the time of death, the sense that they do not deserve to go to the
light, attachment to those who are still living, or even being on morphine at
the end. Morphine lowers the vibration
so much that it takes longer for the person to die and is harder for them to
leave their body for the final time.
After I send the
deceased to the light, I always like to wait a few weeks for them to settle
into their appropriate vibrational level.
The next step for all the deceased is for me to track where they ended
up on the other side. Shamanically,
there are 4 levels where I can find their soul. Coincidentally, the “Lifeline” workshop at the Monroe Institute in
Virginia has mapped out these same 4 levels, giving them different names. This workshop is designed to give students the
tools to deal with deceased people who come to them spontaneously. The ideal is that the soul of the deceased
ends up at the 4th or highest level.
This is where the planning for the next earthly incarnation takes
place. Through the use of the Death Rites
or what is learned at TMI, this is the outcome.
If the soul ends up anywhere
in levels 1-3, then the Shamanic Death Rites are an option. This is totally up to the family member who
has contacted me. If they wish to proceed,
the process involves bringing the energy field of the deceased into my healing room where I clear all of the remaining
trauma and heavy energy out of their chakras and then launch them up to the
fourth world where they can immediately start planning their next incarnation
here on earth. This process greatly reduces
by many many years the time that a soul would spend slowly dropping baggage and
purging to eventually reach the fourth level totally on their own. This
is the service to the deceased that I am always so grateful to be able to
provide. After they are launched, I do a
final tracking to see what they are doing upon entering that fourth world.
All of this is
reported to the loved one who requested the rites. In addition to this being a service to the deceased,
the grieving time that the living go through is greatly reduced, too. The person that I am working on does not even
need to be recently deceased. At the Lifeline
workshop at TMI, it was not unusual for people who passed in the 1800’s to show
up needing help.
As you may have
noticed, this process is chakra based. I
have not done the Death Rites on anyone who had removed their chakras. There are so few of us out there anyway! I like to think that between having no chakras
and maintaining consciousness at the moment of death, there would be a guarantee
that a person can exit the 4 D matrix when the time comes, so no death rites
would be needed. Time will tell on that
one.
To do the Death Rites
in the manner that I have described always required that one be a trained
shamanic practitioner.
I realized just
last week that I can train people to perform the Death Rites with just enough shamanic
training to do the job.
This is such a
valuable service that I would like more practitioners to be able to do it.
To that end, I will be putting together a
training for next spring for students who have completed the basic QSH training
and possibly also the Advanced QSH training.
If you are interested in learning how to perform the Shamanic Death
Rites but have not taken either of the QSH workshops, you would have to come to
the
QSH workshop here in Cortez in September.
Either way, you will benefit greatly in your own personal healing and your
service to the world.
