Shamanic Extraction 

From a shamanic perspective, no energy is truly bad or negative. However, energies can be misplaced. 

An extraction is "the removal of what does not belong".

Sometimes misplaced energies, also called intrusions, become solidified in our energy body and impact our emotional body, our mental and even physical health.

This energy may be imprints of fear, anger, sadness, grief, negative thoughts, etc. that have penetrated our energy field and crystallised there. 

We may have been carrying this energy around for years, having taken it on at vulnerable times or due to soul loss. 

Other disruptive energies may have been passed down ancestrally or culturally. 

In shamanism we also speak of intrusion through toxic darts or arrows when someone has been targeted with misfortune in the form of a spell or a curse. 

Symptoms of misplaced energies may be recognised as fatigue, loss of self confidence, grief, negativity, anger, depression, anxiety…

In a shamanic extraction, with different techniques an intrusion in the energy body can be located and removed, and blockages can be released. 

After an extraction, the person often immediately feels lighter, released, or deeply relaxed. 

In the period after, the disruptive symptoms can further reduce in intensity or alleviate completely.

This will co-depend on the practice of a good spiritual hygiene, and being mindful of possible entry points for harmful energies.
