Extraction Procedure:

• I first call in spirits willing to work with me on the healing. I ask for their help make the person whole and well and to protect and guide the healing. I never ask that the disease be taken away. I never ask what the disease is as I have no desire to know. I am not working on curing the disease but on helping the person remove the cause of the disease. Daignosis is useless information to me for this procedure; my mind is cluttered enough as it is.
• I smudge the person to be treated, either with the herbs or by surrounding them with scented candles. This cleanses their aura and has a relaxing effect. It also shakes up intelligent but unfriendly energies.
• I ask the person to describe the characteristics of the blockage. I don't want a medical description for this. I ask for shape, size, weight, texture, and anything that will fix the blockage in the person's mind and aid them to concentrate on it. If my sense of the blockage is different than theirs, I never correct or question them. I always go with their sense because it's their blockage and their feeling about it. If they ask questions, however, I will volunteer information, usually in the form of questions.
• I then tell them they must be totally willing to give up the blockage and all causes associated with it.
• I perform a Reiki healing attunement that generally takes away most of the blockages. (In some cases I skip the healing attunement. This depends on the person and the situation and is a judgment call on my part.)
• The actual extraction:
  • I extend the aura of my hands for about 8" to 10", enough to get into the body.
  • Going by the person's instructions and description, I feel in the area of the blockage and start to remove it. I ask the person how it feels, if they feel the blockage going. This gives them the sense of being important to the healing, which they are, and not that I'm doing it for them. I feel it of the utmost improtance the person participate in their healing.
  • I will continue removal of this blocked energy for more than an hour if it is necessary. Sometimes the blockage refuses to be removed. I could use some of my feather collection to help remove the blockage or I could use Rattle to finish off the blockage. Sometimes the blockage will not go away because the person isn't ready or willing to let go of the blockage yet. I accept this and move on.
  • As I remove the blockage, I give it over to my spirit animal to dispose of properly. This seems best as my spirit animal knows what to do with it.
• On completion of the extraction, I check the energy field. If it is necessary, I fill any low created by the extraction and smooth the aura.
• I seal the healing with my rattle, rattling throughout the aura.

There are a few things I have found while doing extraction:

• Sometimes the blockage consists of a string-like or rope-like energy. It's necessary to pull firmly but not hard enough to break the strand. It may be necessary to pull this type of energy in a hand-over-hand method. I usually ask a spirit animal to assist in pulling and disposing of this type of blockage. If someone I've worked with previously is attending the extraction, I will ask them to help extract the blockage if necessary.
• I've found a gelatinous type of energy in some instances. As I pull this type of energy, it tends to break easily. A good assistant helps with this problem. As I pull the blockage, the assistant supports it and breaks it off near the body. We repeat this procedure for as long as necessary.
• In one case, a case of fibro-myalgia, I found isolated centers of energy with long fibrous roots extending throughout the body. This requires great care and delicacy because the fibers can break easily and must be all be pulled. The interesting thing about this case is that a friend reported she found the same thing in another case of fibro-myalgia.
• In several cases, the blockage is a 'lump' that is picked up, pulled out, and disposed of.
• In the case of intelligent energies, imbeded thought forms, and such, I find that these forms often fight back or break up and scatter. Ask your spirit animals to help you with these. Some say to use love and light in these instances; I find love and light backed up with Grizzly Bear to be quite effective. In this case, more than any other, TRUST YOUR ANIMALS!! They are the pros at this. All hell will be breaking loose --- you have no time to think, only time to do.
