RHINEBECK, NY, November 28, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, November 30, 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 reviews some of the questions posed to her - questions like: Can shamanism help with mental illness? What about my depression? Am I cheating myself out of healing by taking my pharmaceuticals? Can you heal my father's dementia? Does shamanic healing work long distance? How do I "pay the rent" with powerful psychoactive plants and stay in good relationship with the spirit world? Why does gratitude matter?

In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "What Do You Ask a Shaman?", shaman and host Pratt says, "Many of the questions we receive are thoughtful and complex. They come in after the shows, via email. This show is dedicated to circling back around to answer many of them." Pratt clarifies what a shaman means when they say that experiential learning "writes on your bones" and why that matters, and explore the difference between "entering the Void" and moving in the Taoistic nature of things. Finally, Pratt talks to listeners about how shamans understand that while we are not our body, the fact that we are here in a body is essential to living our soul's purpose and doing what we have come into this life to do.

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.
