Light Spectrum Shamanism™
This integrative spiritual session is rooted in esoteric knowledge and contemplative practices that have long explored the relationship between consciousness, energy medicine, and inner regulation. It is designed to harmonize the mind, body, and inner awareness through a carefully guided synthesis of hypnosis, breathwork, energy medicine, somatic awareness and shamanic journeying. Drawing on both modern understandings of consciousness and ancient inner practices, the session gently supports balance between analytical cognition and intuitive perception, allowing expanded states of awareness in which insight, clarity, and self-regulation may naturally arise.
Shamanic journeying is woven into the experience as a form of energetic soul travel, accessed through rhythm, breath, focused attention, and symbolic imagery. Rather than relying on plant-based medicine, this approach draws from esoteric trance traditions that use sound, visualization, and altered states of consciousness to facilitate a deeply immersive yet grounded journey. The result is an experience that honors shamanic methodology while remaining accessible, intentional, and embodied.
At the philosophical core of this work are principles of self-mastery found within Buddhist and contemplative traditions, echoed across many esoteric systems of inner development, including:
- Mindfulness (Sati): cultivating present-moment awareness of thoughts, sensations, and subtle inner states
- Right Concentration (Samadhi): developing stable, focused attention through breath, trance, and meditative absorption
- Insight and Self-Observation (Vipassana): witnessing mental and emotional patterns without attachment
- Compassion and Non-Harm (Karuna & Ahimsa): fostering kindness, ethical awareness, and inner gentleness
- Inner Discipline and Balance (Middle Way): avoiding extremes while supporting emotional and energetic equilibrium
Within Light Spectrum Shamanism™, these esoteric principles are integrated into a contemporary, non-dogmatic framework that extends beyond any single spiritual tradition. The practice is intentionally inclusive, allowing individuals from diverse cultural, philosophical, or spiritual backgrounds to engage with the work as a method of inner exploration rather than belief-based spirituality.
Offered as a holistic modality for self-discovery and conscious awareness, this approach supports mindfulness, introspection, and energetic balance. When used alongside conventional therapy or counseling, it may serve as a complementary mindfulness practice, enriching broader pathways toward mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
This practice may gently touch upon the following subjects below.
Inner Child Healing
Inner child healing is a contemplative and energetic practice that invites you to reconnect with the earliest layers of your consciousness. The inner child represents the pure, unconditioned self—the part of your being that carries the subtle impressions of early life experiences.
From a developmental perspective, our brains are not fully formed during childhood. This means that early experiences are often processed without the full capacity for logic, reasoning, or perspective. As a result, the mind can form psychological “stories” or energetic patterns that may carry imbalance or tension into later life. These patterns are not “faults,” but echoes of early attempts to make sense of the world with limited understanding.
Through inner child healing, you create a safe, sacred space in which these early experiences can be gently observed, honored, and harmonized. Using practices such as visualization, breathwork, meditation, and mindful attention, you can consciously reconnect with your younger self, offering recognition, compassion, and energetic support. The process allows these early patterns to soften and integrate, creating space for clarity, creativity, and a deeper sense of inner peace.
Shadow Work and Soul Retrieval
Shadow work is a contemplative practice that invites you to consciously explore the hidden or unacknowledged aspects of your consciousness—the parts of yourself that carry unprocessed energy, subtle imbalances, or patterns formed from past experiences. The shadow is not “bad” or “wrong”; it is a natural and necessary aspect of the self, representing energies that have been suppressed, overlooked, or protected for the sake of balance. These patterns can persist as unconscious influences, shaping perceptions, reactions, and emotional responses.
From an energetic perspective, challenging experiences may cause parts of our energy to shift or contract as a protective measure. Shadow work helps you consciously reconnect with these energies, allowing them to reintegrate into your awareness and energetic system known in shamanic traditions as soul retrieval.
In this framework, “healing” is understood as conscious acknowledgment and integration. By embracing the shadow with care and awareness, you create space for clarity, personal power, and inner equilibrium, fostering deeper alignment with your authentic self.
Somatic Deep Emotional Clearing
Deep emotional clearing is a transformative process that supports the release of energetic imbalances, helping you feel more grounded, present, and embodied. By gently working with the body’s natural intelligence, this practice creates space for emotional freedom, allowing old energetic patterns, tensions, or perceived blockages to naturally shift and dissolve.
Through guided imagery, meditation, and breathwork, you enter a deeply relaxed theta state where the body and mind can experience subtle re-balancing and energy healing. Somatic awareness encourages you to sense and honor the messages of your body, recognizing where unresolved emotions may reside and allowing them to move through you safely.
This approach not only facilitates the release of old emotional patterns stuck in your body but also provides practical tools for integrating these insights into daily life, fostering lasting harmony, resilience, and well-being. By reconnecting with your body as a conscious instrument of awareness, somatic healing nurtures both your inner equilibrium and your capacity to fully inhabit the present moment.
Past Life Regression
In past life regression, the soul is understood to carry wisdom, lessons, and energetic imprints from multiple lifetimes. In lifetimes where intense experiences occurred, parts of our energy may temporarily detach as a natural mechanism for the subconscious mind to process these events without becoming overwhelmed. These detached energies can create imprints that manifest as unresolved patterns, unexplained emotional triggers, or subtle tendencies in your present life.
Past life regression offers a safe and guided way to call these soul fragments back, restoring balance, harmony, and integration. By consciously witnessing and retrieving these energies, you create space for healing, energetic realignment, and personal growth. This process can facilitate emotional release, deepen understanding of recurring life patterns, and provide insight into the broader journey of your soul across lifetimes.
This approach emphasizes self-reflection, energetic integration, and conscious awareness, offering a safe, holistic, and non-clinical path for those seeking insight, spiritual growth, and deeper alignment with their authentic self.
How This Practice Supports Mindfulness and Energetic Balance
Light Spectrum Shamanism works with altered states of consciousness to support mental clarity, self-regulation, and mindful presence. Through hypnosis, breathwork, somatic-based awareness, esoteric knowledge and guided inner journeying, participants are invited into relaxed and focused states of consciousnesses that may encourage a sense of calm, internal balance, and greater awareness of inner experiences. Hypnosis is used as a guided attentional practice that gently shifts awareness away from habitual mental tension and toward more coherent states commonly associated with calm focus and receptivity, while acknowledging that human cognition naturally includes both analytical, problem-solving functions and intuitive, imaginal, and sensory modes of awareness.
As daily stress can place disproportionate emphasis on constant mental activity and internal dialogue, hypnosis and shamanic journeying encourage engagement with symbolic imagery, somatic sensation, and intuition, offering an opportunity to experience a more balanced relationship between thinking and feeling. Conscious breathing practices are incorporated as a mindfulness-based approach to support relaxation and present-moment awareness, with slow, rhythmic breathing inviting attention to the body and breath and allowing individuals to notice shifts in physical tension and mental pace, fostering grounding and internal steadiness. Shamanic journeying within this practice uses imagery, esoteric knowledge, energy medicine and focused attention as forms of mindful inner exploration and meaning-making. This work is informed by widely recognized Buddhist principles found across traditions, including mindfulness as present-moment awareness, right concentration as stable and balanced attention, insight through observation of thoughts and sensations without attachment, compassion toward oneself and others, and the Middle Way as an approach that emphasizes balance rather than extremes. These principles are offered as philosophical and contemplative frameworks, and the practice is intended to support self-reflection, personal insight, and connection to inner resources.

What is Light Spectrum Shamanism?
Founded by Kellye Houck, Light Spectrum Shamanism™ is a transformative spiritual practice designed to help individuals access deeper states of consciousness for insight, healing, and personal growth. Drawing on Kellye’s training in diverse spiritual practices, holistic healthcare, and hypnotherapy, as well as her knowledge of Buddhism, esoteric traditions, and Celtic Shamanism, this approach blends ancient wisdom with contemporary techniques to facilitate a profound connection with one’s spirit-self and inner guidance. The practice is intended to explore the unseen aspects of the psyche, uncover hidden truths, and receive guidance on life challenges, fostering empowerment and spiritual evolution.
The journey begins with guided breathwork, meditation, and relaxation techniques that help the client enter a deeply relaxed meditative state known as the theta state. Often experienced between wakefulness and sleep, this state quiets the mind, freeing it from habitual mental chatter while maintaining full awareness. In this heightened state, clients can access the unconscious mind, intuitive insights, and higher consciousness, creating fertile ground for self-discovery, emotional release, and energetic realignment.
Light Spectrum Shamanism™ offers a distinct approach in which the practitioner serves as a facilitator rather than a director. Clients are empowered to explore their inner worlds at their own pace, discovering personal insights and guidance as they navigate their journeys. This method supports the development of self-reliance, inner clarity, and authentic healing.
The practice encompasses a variety of transformative processes:
- Shadow Work: Exploring and integrating unconscious aspects of the self to release long-held energetic imbalances.
- Cord Cutting: Releasing unhealthy energetic attachments to people, places, or experiences.
- Soul Retrieval: Reclaiming lost or fragmented parts of the self, often dispersed due to trauma or emotional challenges.
- Past Life Regression: Uncovering past experiences and patterns that influence present life circumstances.
Journeys may also involve encounters with spirit guides, ancestors, or other supportive spiritual beings, offering wisdom, guidance, and clarity. Through these experiences, clients can release energetic blockages, gain insight into life patterns, and foster emotional and spiritual growth.
The primary goal of Light Spectrum Shamanic Journeying™ is to provide a safe, nurturing, and empowering environment where clients can explore their inner landscapes and experience meaningful transformation. Whether seeking clarity, healing, or spiritual guidance, this practice offers a sacred space for individuals to connect with their authentic self, evolve spiritually, and move forward with greater peace, understanding, and alignment.
