10 Signs You Need a Shamanic Healing & Energy Clearing (that you probably aren’t aware of)
Some of what we carry was never ours to begin with.
We pick it up quietly — in relationships, in conflict, in stressful or chaotic environments, in the frightening things that happened when we were young. And often we don’t recognise it as energy at all. We just feel heavy. Stuck. Not quite ourselves.
A shamanic healing, or energy clearing, is spiritual work that gently releases what you’ve taken on and calls back the parts of you that have been lost or displaced along the way. Below are ten of the signs I see most often in my clinic — the ones that are easy to miss, and important not to ignore. If several of them feel familiar, this may be part of what’s been missing.
1. You go from 0 to 100 in a heartbeat
Calm and yourself one moment, short-fused the next. Irritability and anger that rise out of nowhere can be a sign you’ve picked up energy that was never yours to hold.
2. You can’t put down the heaviest emotions
Shame, guilt, grief that won’t shift, no matter how much you feel them. Sometimes emotion lodges in the energy field. Sometimes it runs deeper still — ancestral shame, burdens carried down a line. Therapy helps us process these. And sometimes we also need to clear them energetically for that processing to truly land, and for the energy to finally be released.
3. It feels like bad luck keeps finding you
One thing after another, as though something keeps going wrong around you.
4. You keep getting snapped back to the same place
Like a rubber band, you return to the same patterns, habits, relationships and circumstances — no matter what you do. What doesn’t want you to move forward will keep you circling. Feeling stuck despite real effort can be a sign it’s time for an energy clearing.
5. You feel heavy, flat and completely wrung out
Like your energy field has collapsed. In my clinic I call this “the dried-up raisin.” When energy leaks away through attachments, cords, and soul or power loss, you can be left with nothing in the tank. This is often where soul retrieval comes in — restoring what has drained away.
6. Sleep won’t come — or it comes with nightmares
Restlessness, recurring dreams, night terrors, disturbed sleep that has no obvious cause. Sometimes it can feel so bad that we’re living our nightmares and deepest fears in our every day, waking life.
7. You reach for the exits more than you’d like
Anything that helps you leave your body or check out for a while — alcohol, substances, or any coping strategy that numbs. Escapism and disconnection from self can leave us more porous, less anchored, less sovereign in our own space.
8. You can’t let a relationship go
This is a big one. Often we leave parts of ourselves with a person — cords that keep us tethered long after it’s over. Not being able to stop thinking of them, or truly release them, can point to cording, and to soul or power loss. This is the heart of cord cutting: calling back what was left, and returning what was never yours to carry.
9. You can feel someone’s anger landing on you
After a fight, a falling-out, a conflict — you feel flooded by the hostility being sent your way. Psychic attack can feel like being sideswiped: overwhelmed, thrown off, half-convinced you’re losing your grip. You’re not.
10. You feel ungrounded and out of your centre
Walking into things, dropping things, losing things, knocked off-balance. These are signs you’re not fully anchored in your body — disconnected from the earth beneath you and the source above. Grounding your lower energy centres back into the earth can bring real safety and balance.
Why a shamanic healing?
As above, so below. As within, so without.
A shamanic healing may not resonate with you — and that is completely okay. But what I keep seeing in my clinic is that almost everyone is carrying something.
The soul, spirit and energy body take the hit first. The physical life is where it often shows up last — as struggles with money, as conflict and the same patterns replaying in relationships, as a body that feels unwell or unsafe.
Sometimes we need to meet these things in practical ways — in counselling, in the nervous system, in the day-to-day. And sometimes it’s just as important to meet them through a spiritual lens.
This is the heart of my work: reclaiming energetic sovereignty.
Calling back the parts of you that have been displaced and lost along the way. Releasing what you’ve been carrying that was never yours to carry in the first place.
Energetic interference, entanglement and ancestral burdens take a real toll on the body, mind and spirit. For those who feel that no matter how much inner work they’ve done they still can’t seem to move — this is so often the piece that’s been missing. Not because it isn’t real. Because our world rarely names it. And yet so many of us are quietly carrying it.
I wanted to write this to name the work, and to help you feel whether it might be for you.
How to receive a shamanic healing
In person — Sunshine Coast
Around two hours, held within a sacred medicine wheel in my clinic. Depending on what you’re carrying, a session may include entity and cord clearing, portal clearing, the clearing of curses, hexes and psychic attack, healing from energetic trespass, chakra balancing, aura repair, grounding and reconnection to source, and soul and power retrieval.
Remote — Australia-wide and beyond
The same depth of work, held remotely, wherever you are. We finish with a phone call to walk through what was released, and any integration to support you afterwards.
More about sessions is on the Shamanic Healing page.
