Description
 Ursula Karen is a shamanic healer and energy healer with a practice in North London. She promotes self-liberation from any family, ancestral or karmic ties. The main goal is self-mastery or the ability to express yourself and your purpose in life fully. The main focus of this shamanic healing system is to free yourself from any binding ties, all those energetic entanglements that prevent full self-expression.
In a Shamanic Healing session you can: 
Our personal story is written in our luminous body. The luminous body is a field of energy surrounding each one of us and containing chakras and meridians (rivers of light). Encoded there we find memories and emotions imprinted as energetic patterns that we painfully repeat in different areas of our life. These patterns affect the way the world is organised around us, acting as software in a computer they run our life: programmes of abandonment, self-punishment, fear, pleasing, control, and so on. These emotional traumas, core beliefs and learnt behaviours in fact predispose us to certain illnesses or keep us tied up in unfulfilling jobs and relationships.
In a session, you will identify and clear the original wounding pattern, which is the anchor point for the experience that causes it to be repeated continuously in your life.
In our energy body are imprinted ancestral memories, family wounds and unresolved issues. These can include destructive behaviours, limiting beliefs, and sometimes real curses, which are passed down through generations.
At the same time in our psyche live out traumatic karmic stories from other lifetimes that affect how well we live, love, age and die. You do not have to believe in past lives to be affected by karmic stories. These stories live in the collective unconscious and inside us as tangible forces that drive us through life in anger, fear, low self-esteem and so on.
From a shamanic point of view both ancestral and karmic stories keep us tied and drain our energy. In a session you will locate these patterns in the luminous energy body and clear them at the source, by using a combination of shamanic techniques.
To reclaim our full energetic potential it is important to embrace and accept ourselves as a whole. Because of external conditioning we often disown certain aspects of our personality that we judge as not appropriate, convenient or lovable, casting them away in our unconscious or, as in Jungian terminology, in the shadow. It is common to disown our vulnerability, our selfishness, our playfulness or our will. This is a loss of our vital energy and we lose touch with the full range of our untapped potential.
Another situation in which we lose energetic potential is in case of soul loss. Soul loss happens through emotional or physical traumas, when a situation was so overwhelming that the only response was to disassociate from the body. These split-off parts of soul essence are lost in the unconscious and leave a painful sense of incompleteness, of undefined longing or even numbness.
In a session you will learn to recover and own all of the qualities of your soul and to integrate their gifts in your everyday life.
Ultimately the purpose of freedom is self-expression. Each of us has unique talents and gifts which need to be shared with the world to become visible. It is the hero that at the end of her journey comes back to be of service. It is the divine inside of us that seeks to be manifested.
It is the shaman evolving into her highest becoming and ultimately dreaming the entire universe into being.
In a session you will learn to connect to your purpose in life and journey to the highest dimensions of your being to manifest reality at will.
This shamanic energy healing system works on the luminous body, a field of energy surrounding us as a cocoon of light containing our chakras and meridians (rivers of light). It also contains the energy imprints of all our experiences.
By working with the luminous body we step into a magical quantum space, where the patterns that cause diseases can be healed before they happen in the body and traumas of the past can be instantly transformed. In our luminous body we weave our dreams and manifest our reality.
In a shamanic healing session specific techniques are used, such as:
In shamanism healing happens in sacred space, a safe energy container created by the shaman, alone or in cooperation with the client. This is a space away from the affairs of the ordinary world, in which we can access the depths of our inner world and allow healing to happen by connecting to source, the creative, blissful life force of the universe.
The Illumination process aims at clearing negative energy imprints in the luminous body. Imprints are all those patterns of our personal, karmic and ancestral history, which we continuously repeat in our life. When an imprint is activated, for example of fear, we are compelled to behave in a certain way by energetically creating a vibration of fear.
The illumination technique works on the chakra system. During the healing the toxic energies of the imprint are drained from the chakra involved, by breathing and by reconnecting to memories and feelings of the wounding pattern. Balance is restored afterwards with a transmission of light energy which allows a deep state of relaxation. By increasing the vibration of the chakra you will experience more vitality, freedom and joy in your life.
Extraction is a technique used to clear energy patterns that have lodged deeply in our body and that are connected to family or karmic history.
Solid extraction is required when an energy pattern is crystallised in the body. Deep buried grief, as heartbreak for example, can become like a metal band locking the heart. Similarly negative thought forms continuously directed at us can penetrate our bodies like daggers.
Fluid energies are alive energies that lodge in our system and that feed on our energy. These will influence our emotions and thoughts. Fluid energies can originate from a former life time or they can be disincarnate earthbound beings. They can also be connected to intimate relationships, when we take in feelings that belong to others.
Extracting these intrusive energies will free you from inexplicable painful emotions or physical symptoms. In a healing session you will also work on clearing the psychological affinities that made you available to these intrusions.
Journeying is the experience of going within to access wisdom, healing and inner power. The gateway is our imagination and the experience, felt both emotionally and physically, is always transformational.
Through journeying you can heal those painful stories that live in your psyche and remap your mythical inner world at will. When you journey you connect with many archetypal energy-forms, such as guides, ancestors, angels, power animals that will help and assist you. Benefits of journeying are:
* Healing unhelpful energy patterns of your physical, emotional and mental body * Opening to self-love * Accessing your inner power * Discovering your unique gifts and life purpose
Soul and destiny retrieval journeys are very ancient shamanic techniques that will restore your wholeness and untapped potential.
Soul retrieval is used when part of our vital essence leaves our body at times of physical or emotional trauma. The loss of life-energy is not the only consequence: often very limiting soul contracts are set in place. In a soul retrieval session you will reconnect with the soul essence and its gifts and change those agreements that no longer serve you.
Destiny retrieval is a journey to discover who we are becoming so that our luminous energy field can be informed by a blueprint that lies in our future.
In a session you will learn to track along luminous time lines that stretch from the past into the future, free yourself from the grip of fate and connect to your highest original destiny.
Dreaming your life into being means consciously choosing your destiny so that you can fulfil your higher purpose.
The identification with external patterns inherited from family, society and our karmic history, limits the ability to dream our life into being.
Shamanic healing is about transformation and this means liberation of energy to pursue the expression of our true Self.
In a shamanic healing session you will:
All of the events of our history, in every area of our life such as love, work, health and power are recorded in the luminous body. These run from the past to the future on cords of light, called time-lines. On these time-lines the events of the past determine the future, unless we learn to disengage from them and choose a different trajectory.
Subconscious patterns are cleared by working primarily in the lower world. Through ancestral work, changing the agreements made in past lives, and healing present life wounds you can liberate yourself from the forces that propel you involuntarily towards a future you have not chosen.
In the upper world lies the blueprint of our original self, that self that is not touched by our experiences on earth. Psychologically it is referred to as our surperconscious, that part of ourselves which is greater than the limited ego.
When you access your original blueprint you are able to connect to your unique talents and gifts and to the soul contract you have agreed to before being born. The soul contract includes what you have come here to learn experience and grow towards.
Embracing the call of our Soul is an epic journey, a hero journey. It requires facing many challenges and taking leaps of faith. Once we break free from the forces of karma we will be able to start envisioning new destinies for both ourselves and for our world.
In the universal field of infinite possibilities you can journey to discover who you are becoming. You can track your destiny from the future and download it into your luminous body. This means that you will be increasingly informed from your future.
By connecting with archetypal energies and working with different techniques for manifesting, you can learn how to bring a new vision of yourself into the present and then start becoming it. As the old sages say you can dream the world into being.
Getting to know Ursula
Hear an interview with Ursula (mp3 file, 17mins 40secs)
As I am writing about my story I am sitting in a café. It is a sunny day, and jazz music is playing in the background. My heart feels open and soft and I am enjoying all the bright colours around me, the sound of laughter, and the beauty in every face. As I sit here I realise that it is exactly for this peaceful feeling of being in the moment that I started my soul journey of healing in the first place.
My very first experience of transformation had been a jump in the fire. Some years ago in a meditation I sent my luminous body into the earth, down to its core, and dived in the sea of fire. When I came back I was transformed forever. It was Sunday and on the following Monday I resigned from a well paid successful job in publishing. In an instant I knew I had to do something different.
Since that moment I have been on a journey of self-healing, clearing all the toxic energy entanglements, all the social conditioning, which prevented my true self-expression. I cleared and rested until the true face of my divine self started smiling at me. She began to shine her crystal clear essence into the world.
And the journey goes on, every time touching new levels of bliss and consciousness, and I am continually moved by the experience of life, in its wonder, simplicity and excitement.
"Ever since I started taking shamanic journeys under Ursula's guidance my life has taken on new dimensions. A sense of deep healing has permeated my daily existence and there's the buzz of spiritual adventure in the air. The work is based on such strong foundations of ritual and careful understanding of the nature of energy that I feel safe enough to explore further and further. Every session is a new experience and I love the way that we find together different approaches depending on where I am that day. I continue to discover, to my huge benefit, how to live the Medicine Way." Diane, London (Writer)
"Ursula is a love Goddess and angel of light who has facilitated great healings in me. I am so much more complete having seen her and I know my future is bright." Cate, London (Artist)
"I came to see Ursula as a hopeful yet fragile woman. I had no real sense of self and very unhealthy boundaries. I felt that all the things I was feeling would take control of me and life was a struggle. Through Chakra clearing, working with my sacred space and journeying, I am learning how to manage my own healing. Ursula has guided and helped me to clear and heal heavy and painful energies, as well as draining connections so that I may have healthier relationships with others and myself. I am learning to become a more self empowered and free person. Wonderfully, Ursula managed to do this in a nourishing and supportive way so I have never felt manipulated or controlled by her or the techniques passed on." Isabelle, London, (Poet & Writer)
