"The Elemental Heart" on February 17 "Why Shamanism Now?" Radio Show with Host Christina Pratt

    PORTLAND, OR, February 16, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, February 17, at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tells listeners that at the core of initiatory illness are the spirits who are looking for a pure heart. According to Pratt, they can teach you all you need to know about shamanic practice and healing, but they can't purify your heart. Only you can do that.

In this week's episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "The Elemental heart", Pratt explores the elemental heart and how we can use our work with the four elements to purify our hearts. Pratt notes that matters of the heart never cease to confound and confuse us when we allow our mind to lead. But when we work with elemental energies to purify our heart, the simple and courageous leadership of the heart will emerge. And we must always remember that simple doesn't mean easy, the wisdom of the heart cannot be domesticated, and following a pure heart is not for sissies.
