Workshop Description

Benjamin in shaman's robesBenjamin Bernstein, a shamanic healer and astrologer based in Asheville, NC, is now offering his "Heal and Awaken" ceremonial workshops to venues worldwide.

The workshop focuses on simple, potent techniques for self-healing, spiritual awakening and assisting others. Large- and small-group processes are typically included. Individual work between Benjamin and selected volunteers is energetically supported by the group.

Group processes will include expanded light body awareness, conscious merging with the Higher Self, and the integration of the light body and physical body. This process typically results in primary consciousness transferring to the light body, which then operates as a spiritual being choosing to have a human experience. Consciousness is then free to enter and leave the physical body at will, much as we get in and out of our cars.

This shift also commonly results in a powerful enhancement of intuitive guidance, which Benjamin calls "Divine GPS." As a person surrenders into this ever-present wisdom, rational decision-making can be increasingly replaced by Spirit's turn-by-turn directions.

Despite these rampant automotive metaphors, Benjamin has no special interest in cars.

The guiding principle behind the "Heal and Awaken" work is that a person needs no skills or special training to act as a conduit for divine healing and awakening. The only requirement is the ability to create a clear, simple invocation. The more the invoker gets out of the way and allows Divine Intelligence to carry out the work on its own, the more effective it becomes.

Benjamin has used this "Heal and Awaken" process in numerous one-on-one and group settings, with consistent effectiveness. He has also received numerous unsolicited testimonials from people who have received profound benefits after trying out the process on their own.

Shamanic Bio

Benjamin is extremely grateful to his shamanic teacher, maestro curandero Don Diego. His extraordinary ayahuasca ceremonies in the Peruvian jungle have been the primary catalyst for the development of Benjamin's healing abilities. Benjamin also thanks Don William, whose life-transforming San Pedro ceremonies first cracked open his egoic shell, and were invaluable to his early development as a healer.

In Asheville, Benjamin's consistent participation in Pachakuti Mesa ceremonies, and his involvement as a certified Blessing Giver in Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) ceremonies, have been tremendously helpful in the continuing development of his healing abilities.

For private and group shamanic healing sessions, ceremonies and workshops, Benjamin can be reached at info@HealAndAwaken.com or 828-338-9852.

 
Testimonials
Note: Some of these testimonials refer to the "Heal and Awaken" technique by its prior name, "Ask and Receive."

"I found the healings you taught me very helpful. I have been using the methods we did and have been generally feeling an overall sense of peace and relief (from constant worry). Thank you again. I have recommended you friends and will continue to do so."
     Tonya

"I have always paid top dollar for spiritual work that was useless for the most part -- none of which could hold a candle to your level. Your work has renewed my faith in spiritual workers, and is, indeed, transformational!
     The time, effort, and sincerity you put into your healing was absolutely fantastic and expertly executed. I cannot tell you enough how appreciative I am.
     Your "Ask and Receive" technique is truly wonderful; it is the only technique that I have used that I actually feel something. It is  extraordinarily powerful, and I use it many times a day.
     With deep gratitude, Love, and Blessing!
     Anna Marie"

"Oh, my arms feel all tingly, and I know that it's God!"
     Jackson R., 6 years old, while listening to Benjamin's "Ask and Receive" MP3

"Hi, Benjamin. I wanted to add my name to what I'm sure is a ginormous roster of glowing testimonials to your amazing shamanic abilities.
     At a Christmas party [in 2010], you drifted into our small circle and added your punny wit to our lively conversation. And then, suddenly, you grew still and asked your permission to give me a healing, as you were being directed to do. After my consent, you placed your hand on my back for a minute or two and I felt an energy there. I was the only one at the party you did this for, and I was most grateful.
     What you didn't know at the time was that I had been suffering from a nagging bladder infection and was about to seek medical attention for it, as it was not going away. Right after you worked your healing magic, just like that the irritation disappeared, and the infection has not returned since.
     Thank you!!! These sorts of infections are most unpleasant and you improved the quality of my existence immeasurably, while also saving me a doctor's fee!
     Best regards,
     Tracey L Pacelli"

 "Thank you so much for your shamanic healing session, Benjamin! I have a thousand-fold increase in energy today. I have been getting all sorts of things done that I usually find difficult physically, and also just seem to be "flowing" through many things in life!! I am so happy to be engaging with you to awaken more and more. The other thing I wanted to tell you was that I had lots of visions of seeds blissfully bursting into light/life while we were asking for divine energy to show itself to me.
     I will practice what you helped me start for a few months and let you know all the new things that emerge. I simply cannot express in words or thoughts how grateful I feel to be experiencing this energy. What a tremendous blessing your life is to me!
     I know you hardly know me, but I get to feel all this anyway!  Isn't it awesome?"
     D.
"Thank you for your 'Heal and Awaken' mini-workshop at the LEAF Festival. Four of us from our camping circle/LEAF family attended. We all had a great experience.
     By nature, meditation and the practice of sitting still is difficult for me. I wanted to let you know that your guided meditation is the best that I have sat in on. Thank you, and keep up the good work.
     Best regards,
     Tracie"

 "Your 'Ask and Receive' method has really crystallized some great healing strengths within me. You've been a wonderful mentor. Thank you for your compassion, guidance and wisdom!
     With Love,
     Jim"

"Thank you so much for the healing last night. I feel soooooo much more relaxed. The struggle energy is gone. Today I feel 'normal', healthy and strong. WOW. This is fantastic!"

     Susan Warren, Asheville, NC

 "Thank you for your astroshamanic session. The shift I am experiencing is exquisite.
     Since working with you, my meditations with the Divine Mother are taking on a beauty that I could have never have dreamt of, and are bringing me into a much higher vibration.
     I don't feel so stuck in my physical body. I have fluidity and freedom. Before our session it was a lot of work just to breathe; now it feels good to take a deep breath. And, since your planetary invocation, I have absolutely fallen in love with Pluto.
     Thank you for being you, Benjamin!"
     Tammy, Concord, NH"

"I attended your 'Heal and Awaken' mini-workshop, and my allergies went away completely by the next day. It was powerful and I released a lot of stuck emotions afterward."
     Beth Huntzinger, Asheville, NC

"Thank you so much for leading and beautifully holding the space for the amazing shamanic healing circle we all created on the conference call tonight. What a wonderfully energizing, comforting, and expansive evening!
     I'm the Joseph that asked for clarity for my life purpose during the session, and, as I'm writing this immediately after, I'm experiencing a greater sense of well-being and compassion for myself. I feel lighter, more 'streamlined' and am aware of a feeling of great capacity, increased sensitivity and expanded bandwidth for this kind of work.  I feel a greater integration of Spirit, and am more relaxed and receptive to intuition. I feel infused with a different quality of life.
     Thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to this very important work, for sharing your talents, abilities and time with everyone so generously, and for your constant encouragement to call upon our Higher Selves to serve the Highest Good. Thank you for being!
     With love and light,
     Joseph"

"Thank you from our hearts for how your shamanic healing session aided my and John's recovery yesterday. 
     When I was on the table I actually had nary a thought. It was an amazing sensation. I truly could not feel where my light body ended. It was hard for me to talk even after we were done, so I wanted to say today how much it meant to both of us.
     I am practicing the invoking you taught us today. I can see that I may be busy with that for a time, until my personality really lets go. Of course the ego thinks that this is too easy, but I am not listening. <g> I can feel my light body still. Great thing, that. What a gift and a blessing.
     In Beauty,
     Charlene, Black Mountain, NC
