Message | (My best translation: On this july 2011 I’ve been honoured by taking part in a ceremony guided by Orna Ralston in Andalucía (Spain) at the Awankay shamanic center. I can not talk about the profound experience I had thanks to her, because I already have no words to really express what happened there to me, just say thank you to Orna again for her job full of Grace, Intelligence and Unconditional Love. She is certanly a great shaman open to the higher influences of Great Spirit. I work as a profesional in humanistic psychotherapy, so I can talk about the Orna’s job as a powerfull impulse for human been’s development. In fact to this ceremony came three of my clients that received the call to a higher and deeper work. Shamanic ceremonies offer to people, in a healing or discovering process, a safe and highly energized environmet in which they can do a quantum leap in their processes, a big push, to go forward the barriers that protect their hearts from remembering the harm or lack of love. And in that sense, Orna is a inspired and therapeutic resourcefull artist, perfect to be close to anybody, whatever level are, and able to lovingly help to make the right choice needed in that precise point of development. I could notice in her, the best skills of rogerian therapists: acceptance, empathy, authenticity; the improvised ability for utilization of people’s talents to give them back already activated as a powerful tool of their own, as ericksonians do; concepts reframing, with a special elegance and sense of humour, to achieve cognitive changes; powerfull body-emotional work, as in bioenegetics; work with roles and Inner Child, as an intuitive Transactional Analysis; regaining and fulfillment of disrupted vital processes, in a Gestalt way; I can’t follow because the list would be excesive for this commentary. I’ve got the chance to work with different shamans along my own healing-developmental process, so I can tell too that Orna has a huge repertoire of talents available, that seem to come from quite a wide range of shamanic cultures and traditions all over the world.
But all this is just a pale reflection of Power and Grace that fill her singing. Paraphrasing one of the ícaros that touch me most: “Mother Mary walking
all over the world,
everything was healed
with the chants of Lord.”
Danke Orna
