“TROID NÓ TEITH“: AN IRISH HEALING PATHWAY INTO THE “FIGHT/FLIGHT” RESPONSE AS A MIND, BODY, SPIRIT PHENOMENON

by Jan 19, 2023

In almost 50 years of combined healing and curative practice, Dr Karen Ward and John Cantwell of Ireland have been sought with increasing frequency to treat the ever-growing symptoms that originate from severe or serial activation of the Fight-Flight response in human beings.

As a short term auto-response for survival and resilience it is the “go to” strength, however when Fight-Flight remains highly activated following initial triggering or if it continues as a “go to” strength to get through life on a regular, even daily basis, there are problematic consequences. We see these consequences in PTSD, chronic anxiety, auto-immune illnesses, predatory or overly competitive behaviours, chronic fatigue, nervous disorders, numbness and more.

As a contribution to a person’s healing and healthy building of sustainable energies of resilience, Karen and John bring a shamanic perception with healing tools to unwind, calm and reset Troid Nó Teith in the human being, addressing it as a healing faculty of the Soul, hand in hand with traditional Energy Medicine. This practical live presentation will be interactive and experiential, where the learning is carried by you participating and receiving. While our perceptions of the world can sometimes see uncertainty, chaos, combat and threat, Troid Nó Teith ensures these energies are not stored within and contributes to the ongoing blessing of gracefully held resilience as an inside job. Our Ancestors of our lineage saw living fully and freely in this world was only possible by doing same in the Otherworld. Troid Nó Teith is a dedication and invitation from both worlds, for your full and free life.

    Powerful healing from a beautiful tradition! Thank you and may it keep you ever blessed. I needed these very teachings and this journey at this time and I am changed. It felt like coming home, embraced by the land of my ancestors. I’ve just inherited from my Irish mother’s passing enough funds to finally make a trip to Ireland. You’ve brought it so beautifully right here into my home! I can’t thank you enough. I will be here for your cycles of ceremony all year long. Thank you, Society for Shamanic Practice.
