RHINEBECK, NY, April 02, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Streaming live on the Voice America Network on Wednesday, April 7, at 2 p.m. Pacific time/5 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 says that the elements—earth, air, fire and water—are true nourishment for our spirit. According to Pratt, this is equally true for three-element and five-element systems also found in shamanic cultures around the globe. When we open up to relationship with the elements that nourishes spirit, spirit grows strong within us. The "voice" of a strong spirit can actually be heard over all of the noise in the cacophonous conversation of life.

In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Why We Work with the Elements", Pratt explores the value of working with the elements in our daily lives and creative ways to do that effectively. Right relationship with the elements allows their energy to flow into our lives, creating balance by smoothing out our own excesses and scarcities. As essence energies, the elements offer gifts we can access through relationship with them. Pratt tells listeners that we gain courage and flow, the ability to change as needed without losing our true selves, presence and breath, and the reminder that it is always possible to release and begin anew.
