There is nothing wrong with you.


So many people arrive at a moment in life where they believe they are damaged — too sensitive, too emotional, too tired, or somehow failing at being human. They’ve tried therapy, self-help, spiritual practices, and years of “working on themselves,” yet they still feel heavy. Overwhelmed. Carrying sadness, fear, or exhaustion that doesn’t quite make sense.

This is often the moment when a deeper truth begins to surface:

You’re not broken — you’re carrying energy that isn’t yours.


The Energy We Inherit and the Energy We Absorb

In authentic shamanic understanding, we are not isolated beings. We are born into energetic lineages — ancestral bloodlines, family systems, and collective histories. Trauma, grief, fear, and survival patterns do not end with one lifetime. They imprint themselves into the nervous system, the energy body, and often the physical body itself.


This is the foundation of ancestral healing.


You may be carrying the grief of a grandmother who never had a voice.


The fear of a grandfather shaped by war, loss, or scarcity.


The emotional weight of ancestors who survived by staying silent, small, or constantly alert.


Alongside what we inherit, we also absorb the energy of others. Empaths, caregivers, healers, and sensitive souls naturally take on emotions, stress, and even physical sensations from those around them. Without proper training, the energy body remains too open — acting like a sponge rather than a sovereign, protected field.


Over time, this can create exhaustion, anxiety, emotional confusion, chronic pain, and the belief that something inside you is broken.


It isn’t.


What Shamanic Teachings Actually Do

True shamanic traditions do not simply offer ideas or techniques. They transmit protection, structure, and spiritual authority directly into the energy body.


In the Andean shamanic lineages of Peru, students receive sacred rites — energetic initiations that awaken dormant wisdom and restore the natural intelligence of the luminous field. These rites are often described as angelic in nature because they function as guardians: protecting, guiding, and bringing divine order to the energy body, much like angels are described across cultures.


These rites:

  • Strengthen and seal the luminous energy field

  • Close energetic leaks and old wounds

  • Create clear spiritual boundaries

  • Call in protection from higher realms

  • Restore right relationship with Earth, ancestors, and Spirit


You are not just learning about protection — you are given it.


From Absorbing Energy to Channeling It

One of the most important shifts shamanic healing offers is this:

You are not meant to absorb energy.


You are meant tochannel it.


Authentic shamanic training teaches you how to allow divine energy to move through you rather than into you. This is how shamans and healers work deeply without depletion or burnout.


You are taught how to:

  • Protect your energy without closing your heart

  • Clear ancestral and absorbed energy safely

  • Heal yourself without draining your life force

  • Support others without carrying their pain


This is the difference between being sensitive and being sovereign.


Ancestral Healing as Liberation

Ancestral healing is not about rejecting your lineage — it is about freeing it.


When you release what was never meant for you to carry, the healing moves backward and forward through time. Those who came before you are honored. Those who come after you no longer inherit the same weight.

This work is compassionate, grounded, and deeply human. It recognizes that many survived without the tools we now have — and healing is how we give those stories a new ending.


Why This Work Feels Like Coming Home

When people receive authentic rites and teachings, the shift is often immediate — not because they were fixed, but because they finally remember who they are.


The nervous system softens.


The exhaustion lifts.


The constant emotional noise quiets.

For the first time, many people feel safe inside their own body and energy field.


You Were Never Broken

The teachings I share come from an authentic Andean shamanic lineage of Peru, passed through generations of wisdom keepers and safeguarded with great respect and responsibility. This is living medicine — rooted in Pachamama, the Apus, ancestral wisdom, and divine order — not modern spirituality or borrowed fragments.


At The Chacana Spiritual Center, our classes and ceremonies are spaces of remembrance. Through sacred rites, ancestral healing, and ceremonial work, you are gently guided to release what is not yours, protect your energy, and learn how to work with power in a way that is grounded, ethical, and sustainable.


If something in you feels recognized as you read this, trust that knowing. There is no rush, no pressure, and no expectation. Whether you step into ceremony, join a class, or simply sit with this truth for now, remember:

You were never broken.


You were carrying energy that isn’t yours.


And when you are ready to put it down, the path will be here.
