INTRODUCTION
COMBINING SKILLS TO ENSURE YOUR SUCCESS!!
Ark Healing was founded in June 2013 during the first year of Walking the Shaman’s Path Transformational Program with Patricia White Buffalo. Before that I had completed my four year training at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing in May 2012.
In the initial years, energy healing sessions for individual clients were the main focus.
Upon encouragement from a teacher, I started working with a small group of seekers. The small group was called the ShamYoga group. The focus of the small gathering was to combine a yoga practice with shamanic journeying.
Over time, my interest and practice have evolved more into shamanic work with clients, which also includes Shamanic Home Clearing; Shamanic Land Clearing; Shamanic prayer and blessing.
The knowledge and experience of the physical body, mind, heart/soul and spirit are integrated within my practice. The skill set combination includes movement of the body; energy healing; shamanic journeying & soul flight; welcoming the One to direct my life and practice fully.
During sessions with a client, the focus is on the client’s happiness and wellbeing. The virtual platform with Zoom is ideal to cater to clients in multiple settings, from individuals to groups, as well as various locations. Among the services offered are

Freedom is the birthright of every soul
HELPING SEEKERS TO EXPLORE THE INNER DIMENSIONS OF LIFE
We have within us, a power that is greater than anything we shall ever contact in the outer, a power that can overcome every obstacle in our life and set us safe, satisfied and at peace, healed and prosperous, in a new light, and in a new life.
Ernest Holmes
Ernest Holmes was also quoted as saying that ‘The Divine Plan is one of Freedom. The inherent nature of man is ever seeking to express itself in terms of freedom, because freedom is the birthright of every living soul.’
These quotes summarise in a sense what Ark Healing is about. Despite working in a veterinary medical field for a great part of my career, I felt drawn towards enquiry into the self.
This led me to discover this power within us, which is called Kundalini Shakti or the Divine Feminine, a power which since my early teens has guided and helped me find my way back to Her. I was seeking, not knowing exactly what I was seeking, whilst the divine within was seeking to help me in those endeavours.
At the outset of this journey of enquiry, the focus was mostly in trying to resolve patterns in life I didn’t like. It could be described as ‘tackling’ the perceived negative aspects of my life, that which I couldn’t resolve/reconcile and wanted in life.
Much later, I learned not only to focus on the ‘undesirable’ aspects of my life but also to start really appreciating the ‘positive’ gifts that were laid on my path.
I was fortunate to find the right people at every juncture and at the right time to help me surmount obstacles in my quest for contentment and happiness in life.
After searching intensely for 8 years, finally finding this happiness and contentment following spiritual advancement was surprisingly totally unexpected and a deep blessing.
THE MEANING OF ‘SEEKER’.
The definition of seeker is ‘a person who is attempting to find or obtain something’.
Type of seekers
The curious seeker
Curious seekers are at the dawn of the spiritual path.
Somehow they may have stumbled onto the path by accident or as the result of an intellectual interest.
Curious seekers however lack the focus and concentration for persistent effort, perseverance, grit and patience that the spiritual path demands. Fascination at this stage is greater than the understanding that it takes hard work to progress on this path.
The temptation of a variety of other interests risks to pull one away from pursuing the spiritual path as desires change.
Enquiry leading to inner development
Ramana Maharishi (India) advocated Self-enquiry as the most direct and efficient way to progress spiritually. Self-Enquiry requires contemplation and discernment of the Vedanta truths.
In the West, inner development is often the domain of counselling, psychotherapy, psychology etc, the ‘soft’ sciences.
Inner development is very individual. Where one steps into that journey depends on the person’s maturity and previous development. With enquiry, there is intellectual enquiry and the ego is still involved.
The desire to be desire-less as the path
Finally, enquiry can become a question of life-death, facing death whilst still alive.
The desire to be liberated, the desire for Freedom becomes the focus and a spiritual focus in life also becomes more effortless.
