Portland, OR, January 21, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, January 22, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show “Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt tells listeners that if the New World is to be different than the one before, then we must learn to ally our minds with paradox. We must see the deeper truth that the nature of our world—and our selves included—is the living expression of complementary dualism in which two opposites co-exist in harmonic wholeness. And as they transmute each other, we experience true renewal or passionate expression.

In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “Shamanic Art of Reciprocal Exchange,” Pratt explores the essence energies we must ally with on our journey to change our thinking and behavior and align with the necessary Dreaming of the New World. One of the many great gifts of a regular shamanic journeying practice is that the journeyer is immersed in the logic of the Tao. In our journeys and our interactions with helping spirits we are constantly asked to see—or tricked into seeing—the reciprocal exchange of energies that is the heart of complementary dualism. According to Pratt, when we finally understand that all energies within our selves are opposites of another energy -- also present though often denied within our selves -- we will begin to be able to show up as co-creators of the New Story the Earth is singing.
