2011-01-31
RHINEBECK, NY, January 31, 2011 (Press-News.org) Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, February 1, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tells listeners that facing our fear is the first hurdle to get over when we take action to create the life we are dreaming of; it is often the next hurdle, and the next... Cultivating a right relationship with fear is critical if we want to live for what we believe has meaning and purpose each day. Growing a courageous heart is required so that fear can become our ally. According to Pratt, "Fear is meant to warn us of danger, not make us afraid of it. And your mind will perceive every change—no matter how welcome and how hard won—as danger."

In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Facing Your Fears," Pratt explores the true nature of fear and its sad and overachieving cousins, depression and anxiety. In right relationship with fear we are able to see with discernment and to do whatever it takes to bring our dreams into being. That balance between the precision of discernment and force (and finesse) of taking the action happens only in the heart. The mind will grip too tightly and the rubber of spirit never meets the road. Fear exists in relationship with courage, thus fear and fearlessness are bound and mutual. Pratt tells listeners that the paradox of making fear your ally is that the courage that it takes arises from and with fear itself.

Christina Pratt is an authentic, non-traditional contemporary shaman. In practice since 1990, she specializes in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible. A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life. Her well-received book, An Encyclopedia of Shamanism (Rosen), is an 800-page, two-volume set with over 750 in-depth entries that clearly discuss the basic concepts of shamanism, methods, and traditions of over 50 different shamanic peoples. Pratt is the founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing in Portland, OR, and New York, NY, creator of the original Foundations of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing course at the University of Minnesota, and a frequent and honored speaker for the American Holistic Medical Association.
