Family Constellations are a newly popular therapeutic healing technique that began as a Shamanic Healing tool. This profoundly powerful practice was originally used in tribal communities to help a troubled tribal member feel the deepest roots of an issue causing harm, often ancestral in nature.

This practice was discovered, then adapted in the last century to appeal to the modern mind. This opened doors of interest to other realms of shamanism and its practices… but only to those who knew the original source of the practice (Shamanism).

Energy Healing transmission is a common tool applied through most, if not all indigenous systems. Sometimes remotely by pure thought attention with intention. Otherwise, through direct touch and intended attention.
