ABOUT
Janet StraightArrow: Master Shaman, Healer-Teacher, Sage, Yogi,
and Astrologer.
As a Shaman, Janet holds a big energy of love and delight. She is
honored and grateful to support the journeys of each person who
is called to work with her. Six decades of focus and study on
spirituality and healing have led her to experience and explore
traditions and unexpected places worldwide, offering people an
exciting journey.
Janet's lifelong search has been to study and live the wisdom of
the sages. She was born with the gift of discernment and the
knowledge of Ancient Knowledge. Seeing the truth and illusions
of what was happening in the world made it difficult for a child to
understand.
The way people spoke and acted was often not aligned with the
wisdom she understood. She experienced a lot of confusion, yet
innately knew and trusted universal truth, love, responsibility,
common sense, and logic.
In 1967, at the age of fifteen, she was given a dire diagnosis,
without any hope. After recovering from shock, she remembered
the divine truth inspired by Jesus's example and teachings. She
knew we could heal ourselves and decided to learn how to do so,
becoming happy and healthy into old age.
Her life's mission, Be The Medicine, was born. She has been
inspired to develop a universal path to help others become their
own medicine. Now, at the age of seventy-three, Janet has reached
the first stage of her goal. The next phase of the journey may be
the best, as she brings the journey's fullness into the world.
Janet's life has been a progressive journey of study, practice, and
living through each stage; new questions have always led to
answers. There was always another book, teacher, master, or
practice to glean more clarity and wisdom. Janet relates to the
spiritual healing and becoming journey as an adventure. Each
step opened more truth and light to embrace. Her entire life has
been extremely challenging, marked by resilience and
accompanied by enormous gifts.
Janet's focus has always been Universal; many paths became one
as she honored and integrated all the foundational wisdoms of
many traditions. Her studies with 150 teachers worldwide and
her reading of thousands of books gave her information, tools,
and many perspectives to learn from.
In 1981, Janet opened her first healing business, The Whole Foods
Cooking School. She taught women how to heal and nourish their
families with whole foods nutrition. She also taught tasty ways to
prepare healthy meals with pure ingredients.
That same year, Janet began her yoga and meditation studies with
the Himalayan Institute. She has always honored this lineage and
is happy to bring her work to the Institute.
SHAMANIC CALLING
In 1992, Janet StraightArrow found her Shamanic calling after
twenty-five years seeking complete healing of body, mind, and
spirit. No one was more surprised than herself, a white woman
from New Jersey, to accept and understand her true Self as a
Shaman.
Her gifts and past-life memories have been continuously
awakened since that moment of discovery. Janet experienced
many spiritual initiations and energy risings as she continued her
deep work with Shamans, Masters, Gurus, and Renowned
Teachers.
In 1995, Janet began practicing healing and teaching Shamanism,
Reiki, and other spiritual healing modalities, and has offered
continuous individual and group healing, coaching, and teaching
in seven states, NYC, and on Zoom. Teaching has been a huge
learning experience, too. She has mentored ongoing groups of
students since 1999.
Soul Shamanism was born in 2003, when she was introduced to a
Siberian Shamanic lineage. She was guided to grow this path into
its wholeness, bridging refined levels of universal wisdom and
healing mastery, along with embodied teachings and accelerated
practices.
Teaching Soul Shamanism for 23 years has allowed the fullness,
ongoing potential, and profound results to manifest into
grounded spiritual experiences in how to live our innate power
and truth. Continuous journeys into higher dimensions of healing
and wisdom, from the sixth to the thirteenth, have been
extraordinary.
Janet has several books in progress, and more workshops,
training sessions, and online offerings are being scheduled.
Yearly Vision Quest Ceremonies and other unique,
transformative ceremonies and retreats help people deepen their
personal journey and live their true selves.
