Everything is Energy
The Power of Shamanism and Energy Medicine is a heartfelt exploration of healing and connection through shamanic practice, told through personal stories that honor both the mystery and humanity of spiritual work. Why was this an important book for you to write?
Having worked with shamanic healing and energy medicine for 15 years and seeing the benefits to my clients, I wanted to make shamanic healing practices and the benefits of energy medicine available to a larger audience, to let people know what is possible.
How do you see energy medicine integrating with mainstream clinical mental health practices?
With the increasing evidence emerging from the study of quantum physics that everything is energy, including both the physical plane of matter and the more abstract plane of the mind, vibrating with information that we can engage and interact with, Shamanic healing and energy medicine is a natural evolution and addition to traditional mental health practices as it allows us to access and work with the energetic aspects of our mental health symptoms. I have had medical doctors and nurses in my classes and as clients who have made use of shamanic healing and energy medicine in their personal lives.
What practices or experiences in your own journey have most surprised you or challenged your beliefs?
I have had the spirits of deceased persons show up while working with a client who had information for them regarding their healing. For example, while working with a person who had received a complete lung transplant who was having difficulty with new feelings and changes in preferences, saying the hadn’t felt like herself since the transplant and feeling somewhat guilty that she was able to live when someone else had to die, the person whose lungs she had received appeared in the office. I was able to facilitate a conversation between them that helped her let go of the guilt and understand the changes she was experiencing, setting her free to embrace her new life. I’ve also had parts of a person’s soul show up once we did healing work around a trauma that made space for that particular part of the soul to return.
If someone is feeling spiritually disconnected but skeptical of shamanism, what would you say to help them approach the work with openness?
I teach them that everything is energy and that we are connected to everything. I then introduce them to heart-focused breathing that connects them to their heart and to the quantum field. I then guide them to connect with experiences that give them direct experiences with energy fields that contain the information both from the past and from the future.

The Power of Shamanism and Energy Medicine: Personal Stories of Healing and Transformation
The Power of Shamanism and Energy Medicine is part memoir, part spiritual guide, and a collection of deeply personal stories told by those who have sought healing through shamanic practices. Sheldon Shalley draws from his own life, his training under the Four Winds Society, and countless healing sessions with clients to show how shamanic journeying, soul retrievals, energy extractions, and connecting with nature can unlock healing and transformation. Each chapter introduces a new aspect of shamanism through lived experience, both his own and his clients’, and paints a vivid picture of spiritual work grounded in nature, intuition, and unseen forces.
The writing is honest and unpretentious. I appreciated that he didn’t try to prove or preach. He simply tells stories and lets them speak for themselves. I found myself slowing down, rereading sections, not because the language was complicated, but because it made me feel something. The way he honors his clients’ voices is tender and respectful, and you can feel his reverence for the spiritual world in every word. It’s not flashy writing. It’s quiet and steady, which felt more powerful than most self-help books I’ve read.
Shalley is clearly thoughtful, and his commitment to integrity is clear, but some parts felt like they walked a careful line. The stories are rich, but I craved more critical reflection or discussion on how these practices fit, or don’t, with modern clinical approaches or the potential tension between Indigenous roots and Western adaptations. Still, I admired his transparency and the humble way he invites readers into a very personal process without claiming to have all the answers.
I’d recommend this book to anyone feeling spiritually stuck or hungry for a sense of deeper connection. It’s perfect for people curious about energy medicine, sensitive to nature, or interested in alternative healing without the fluff. Just come with an open mind. This isn’t a how-to manual, it’s more like a soft nudge back to yourself. I came away feeling grounded, moved, and surprisingly hopeful.
