Shift your energy, shift your world! ™
We are, individually and collectively, on an eternal journey towards whole-ness. The so-called "New Age" phenomenon is exploding in popularity for the very fact that it addresses what we have always known: we are much more than our physical selves.
Mystic Healer Kaaren Smoot guides people through interactive processes to re-claim their lives. Clients report results ranging from feeling more confident to better relationships to release of physical pain (after attending his first Butterfly Experience, one man reported that he no longer needed the 4-8 pain pills per day he had long relied on, as well as "feeling happy") & long-held emotional trauma to sleeping better, and the list goes on...

What is Vibrational Medicine?
(aka "Quantum physics in a nutshell" or "Why it works")
"Vibrational Medicine... is based upon the understanding that the molecular arrangement of the physical body is actually a complex network of interwoven energy fields. The energetic network, which represents the physical/cellular framework, is organized and nourished by "subtle" energetic systems which coordinate the life-force with the body. There is a hierarchy of subtle energetic systems that coordinate electrophysiologic and hormonal function as well as cellular structure within the physical body. It is primarily from these subtle levels that health and illness originate. These unique energy systems are powerfully affected by our emotions and level of spiritual balance as well as by nutritional and environmental factors. These subtle energies influence cellular patterns of growth in both positive and negative directions."
~Richard Gerber, M.D., Vibrational Medicine
A healing philosophy that views the patient as a whole person – body, mind, and spirit – not just a disease or a collection of symptoms. Practitioners may address a client’s emotional and spiritual dimensions as well as the hereditary, nutritional, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can contribute to an illness. Note: in my opinion, "vibrational medicine" and "holistic medicine" are the same; the difference is simply linguistics - those using the term "vibrational medicine" are likely more versed in the scientific basis of this modality, whereas a native healer in some remote area, while utilizing the reality of the science, may not be cognizant of the terminology or the research.
Yes, it does work for everyone - we are all created with an energetic field. Whether or not one chooses to allow it to
flow into one’s daily life, however, is up to each individual. Free will, remember?
Yes, you can.
In Metamorphosis, which is group work, on occasion an issue shows up
- unbidden - that is for the loved one of a participant, and which we are more than happy to
do. In private work, we can do the work
on someone else, as well. In all the
years I have done the work, having asked permission from the individual’s higher self
to do the work, only once have I gotten a “no”, which, of course, was honored.
What types of issues can be worked on?
Any and all. Well, if you have a broken leg, you better head to the ER. :) Seriously, spiritual, emotional, physical,
mental – they all are connected, and all can be addressed via energy work,
which, after all, is the greater part of everything in the Universe.
That’s a good question. Generally, clients book an hour or so for a private session, and we can cover anywhere from one to several issues in that time. There have been situations, especially in Metamorphosis, where one issue took a few hours. While that seems like a long time, considering how much time it would take to get to the same place (if you even could) with conventional approaches, it is miniscule.
How many sessions should I expect to do?
That is entirely up to you. Each session is stand-alone, in that the addressed issue is resolved. As we all have many issues, of varying degrees, the process of healing is an on-going one, and so, you get to choose how far you want to go and how many sessions you want to do. People are usually so thrilled at the changes in their lives that they are excited to apply the work to other areas.
Your physical body is “home base”. Everything related to your other aspects ties in there, so any improvement in those areas will bring improvement to your physical self. Whether it is a trumpet blast or a butterfly wing touch in terms of how you “notice” it varies.
Does the work I’m doing affect anyone else but me?
By bringing your vibration up, you can’t help but positively affect those around you.
Why do we need help with healing?
While whether or not you are moving toward healing is entirely up to you, once we make the decision to turn things around, we often don’t know where to turn, or how to get the ball rolling. Most of us are not consciously “tapped in” and “see” things based on physical realities, rather than energetic ones. As we are more energy than matter, this approach naturally doesn’t address all aspects. By finding an energy worker we trust that not only assists us in our healing, but guides us in our expansion of our own “tapping in”, we make the most progress. There are people – rare and wonderful – that no longer require any human help, but for the rest of us, it is a communal effort, shared with those we choose, and what can be more wondrous than that?
The loaded question! Generally, an unprocessed experience from the past, either yours or an ancestor’s. Most of us do not have the tools to properly deal with “negative” events. We have been given tools on schoolwork, housecare, driving, etc., but really don’t know what to do for an experience that deeply affects us. There are more and more books, modalities, therapies, etc. out there these days, but this is a relatively new development. Say, for example, that you are 4 years old. The dog barks, startling you while you are standing at the top of the stairs. You then fall down the stairs, land, crying and hurt. Your mother comforts you the best she knows, saying, “You’re ok.” Skip forward to adulthood. You have a fear of dogs, especially barking ones, you avoid stairs, you are in complete disconnect with your own feelings, and ambivalent toward your mother. All because of an event that wasn’t handled properly – through no fault of your own (you were 4, remember?), and no fault of your mother’s either, as she didn’t know any better. Skip forward a generation or two. Your child or grandchild has debilitating fears, and no idea where they came from – well, they inherited them from you! This is obviously a very simple example, but I hope you understand the concept. Another reason is there may be an entity, Being, spirit (choose your term) that has attached to you. I will delve into that in more depth elsewhere.
Guides, Angels, Spirits, we Earthlings have many titles we call them by; in essence they are Beings that either are no longer physical or never have been, who interact with us on a daily, and sometimes constant, basis, whether we are aware of them or not. Their mission – or at least that of most of the ones we encounter – is to assist us in our growth & healing. As they are at a much higher vibration than we are, their capacity to benefit us is extraordinary. Not only that, their connection to Source is much more direct than ours, so it’s generally a good idea to heed their advice.
Short answer: A shaman is someone who is able to work with the metaphysical world (in my case, via the assistance of some amazing Guides) to find and shift issues – current, past, present, ancestral – that are affecting us in this realm. Remember, although we have many aspects to ourselves, they all call your body “home”, so when one is out of balance, everything else is also out of balance.
Long answer:
The Ten Attributes of Shamanism per Joan Forest
Mage
- Works with spirit realm and spirit guides – Shamanism deals with going into altered states of consciousness to find healing and wisdom. In this altered state, we perceive all existence as being a big energetic field. The world is filled with spiritual beings and energies: angels, ancestors, totem, animals, gods, goddesses, nature spirits. These helpful spirits guide us to healing and wisdom.
- Heals through shifting energy – As contemporary shaman Bradford Keeney says, “Shamanism has nothing to do with how many beads someone has on a costume. The goal of the shamanic practitioner is to shift energy.” Healing is accomplished through returning energy that has been lost or unblocking the flow of energy, which may happen through direct energetic healing or through gaining information.
- Solves problems in daily life - shamanic work is not about simply having visions of the spirit realm, but to help self and others gain healing and wisdom in our daily lives. We work in concert with the spirits to improve the whole Web of Life.
- Travel out of body to the 3 Worlds– shamanic work involves “journeying” out of body into the spirit realm to work with the spirit guides for healing and guidance. Journeying is done to three different Worlds or planes of existence: the Upperworld, Middleworld and Lowerworld. The typical vision is to go through a tunnel, come into a place of nature (Journey Center) where you meet your team of spirit guides to ask for healing or information.
- Empowers the soul – shamanism heals and empowers the soul, which is the vital essence or unique individual Self. Through healing and restoring this spiritual power, many physical, mental and emotional issues are resolved. Soul is in between ego and spirit. Ego is the surface and limited sense of self, while spirit is the Great Cosmic “Soup” of all energy that encompasses all that is. Soul is what you came to this lifetime to accomplish: all the talents and the mission you were born with to contribute to the world.
- Heals the Web of Life – shamanic healing is not only about healing the individual, but equally includes healing human society, the spirit realm and nature: the whole Cosmic Web of Life. Some shamans work almost exclusively healing nature, or with the spirit realm.
- Grounded in nature – the shamanic practitioner gratefully utilizes the powers of nature for healing, transformation and restoration of energy and to stay grounded in the physical plane.
- Grounded in the body– shamanic work is not just about having mental visions nor does it try to transcend the body. It addresses feelings and intuitions from within the body and heals what psychologists would call psychosomatic issues.
- Grounded in expressive arts – shamans throughout the ages have used singing, dancing, drumming, storytelling and visual art as ways of shifting energy, expressing their visions and creating healing. The healing that shamans perform encompasses the work done in such modern healing modalities as movement therapy, sound healing, psychodrama and color therapy.
- Face shadow side – shamanic healing often confronts the “shadow side”, drawing out the full range of energies and emotions including anger, sadness and fear to create cathartic healing.
Will this work replace conventional medicine or should I continue to see my doctor?
"Yes and No" and "Yes". As our understanding of quantum physics and our true selves evolves we will need to rely less and less on “conventional” medicine which can be invasive, though there is no alternative when it comes to repairing broken bones, emergency surgeries, etc. Yes, you should continue to see your doctor. An energy worker does not and cannot replace the care and advice you receive from your current medical team.
