You Are Not Broken: How the Earth Holds Space for All of You

17 July 2025 by Embracing Shamanism

In a world that often tells us to fix ourselves, to be better, stronger, calmer, it can feel like there is something wrong inside. Maybe you have been told you are too much, or not enough. Maybe you carry grief that no one sees or anger that feels too big to hold. Maybe joy feels fleeting or beauty distant.

What if healing is not about fixing or changing who you are? What if healing is about coming home to yourself as you are? With all your messiness, all your contradictions, all your humanity.

The Earth has a way of holding us like this. Unconditionally. With patience. With acceptance. No matter what storms we carry inside, no matter how broken we feel, the Earth keeps space for the full range of our being.

This is the invitation of shamanic practice. It does not ask us to leave behind our grief, our rage, our beauty or joy. Instead, it teaches us how to bring them all together. How to make room for them to exist without judgment or shame. How to let them speak and move through us with respect and care.

In the shamanic way, every feeling is medicine. Every experience is part of a larger story that connects us to the web of life. When we bring our whole selves into ceremony, into ritual, into healing work, we are welcomed and honoured exactly as we are.

There is no need to hide your shadows or polish your edges. The path is not about becoming perfect. It is about becoming whole.

At Embracing Shamanism, our trainings offer a safe and supportive space to explore this kind of healing. You will learn to listen deeply—to yourself, to the land, to the spirits. You will be invited to engage with your own stories and wounds with kindness and courage.

Healing is not about erasing pain. It is about making space for it to breathe, so that something new can grow.

You are not broken. You are here. Whole and sacred, held by the Earth and all her mysteries.

Come and find your place to rest, to heal, and to belong.
