This book grew out of the ¬first seven years of August Lageman’s practice as a shaman. The book shows how the teachings of the Four Winds Society actually work with clients. In addition, August kept an open mind and integrated tools and insights from other forms of healing such as reiki and Holographic Healing. This book demonstrates how a person with a rocky childhood can heal from early wounds with the help of skilled shamans. August writes from his heart. You will learn how a shaman needs to be ready for the unexpected.

Shamanism in the 21st Century is as useful as it is interesting. If you’ve always been curious about alternative healing modalities or want to deepen your own spiritual connection, this book is a good place to start.” — Willie E. Dalton, Author

n the Four Winds tradition (Inca), the second direction is that of the west.
The power animal is the jaguar. In my first five years of full-time practice,
I have done 2,025 illuminations. I have done 775 extractions, so 60 percent
of the people I’ve worked on just needed an illumination. The remaining 40
percent needed something extracted (removed) from their energy fields.
When I work with a new client, I am always prepared to do both an illumination and an extraction. I will discuss removing entities and demons in a
later chapter. I find heavy energy and extract it into a crystal. I do not label or
diagnose what the heavy energy could be; I remove it.
Bob was a retired CPA in one of my older adult classes. I had cleared him
several times. He called and wanted to see me as soon as possible. When Bob
came to see me, he was guarding the right side of his stomach, and he asked
me not to touch it.
I did an illumination and then an extraction. I removed the heavy energy
into an awaiting crystal. When Bob got up from the table, he smiled and said
that the pain was gone. The pain was where his appendix was located. I referred
him to an herbalist to have a thorough stomach cleanse done. I then told Bob
that if he had a sharp pain in the night not to call me, but to go to the hospital
emergency room and have laparoscopic surgery done to remove the appendix. That did not occur. This happened five years ago, and the pain has never
returned. I have concluded from this and many other clients that I do my best

work in the early, preventative stages of an illness.
Janice came to my older adult class with the man for whom she was caring,
age eighty-four. Her client had frontal lobe dementia. Janice had no idea of what
energy healing was about. I sensed in her a level-four entity, which was going to
disrupt the class. I approached her, smiled, and told her that what I was going to
do would not hurt. I removed the entity, and Janice felt immediate relief.
I got to know Janice, who was a recovering drug addict. Janice asked me if
I could clear her liver. I told her that I never know anything in advance, but I
would do my best (with my awesome healing team). Janice’s MD was planning
to do a liver transplant. Her white blood cell count was at a critical level. I performed two illuminations and extractions, two weeks apart. Janice then went to
her surgeon, who found the liver completely healed and clear. The surgeon was
amazed. Her friends at her church advised her not to come to me, because they
thought I worked for the devil. The two sessions cost $50 each, a total of $100,
versus $100,000 for a liver transplant. I think I know why shamans are viewed as
a threat by the medical industry.
Some clients require repeated extractions, which gives rise to the question
of what in their diet and lifestyle is behind the issue. I was taught at shaman
school not to give a medical label to the heavy energy. This would start a negative
thought process.
Two years ago, I was teaching a non-credit adult course, which met one afternoon a week for six weeks. Adults would describe their ailments to me, about
which I would rather not know. At the last class, I asked if they would like more
discussion or free treatments. Everyone wanted free treatments.
Kay was a retired operating room nurse with an extensive medical background. Kay had not told me about any ailments. She winked at me and said, “I
do not think you can handle what I have.” After an illumination, I scanned her
body. My hand locked up over her chest. I thought, but did not say, there was
enough energy in there for three coal miners. Inside her chest, I sensed a mucous
plug. I asked one of my angels (more about them later) if I could pull the plug.
The angel replied and told me I could, and that she could then breathe. When
Kay got up off the table, she took her first full breath in years.
One month after the class, Kay was visiting her MD, a pulmonologist. He
took an X-ray of her lung and announced that his X-ray machine was broken,
because the lung was clear. I asked Kay if she told her MD about me, and she
said no and that she did not want a psychiatric evaluation. Another month and
Kay had another clear X-ray. On her third visit and final visit, Kay brought her

courage and my card with her. When Kay gave her doctor my card, he asked, “Is
he a real person?” Actually, I am a leprechaun living and working as a shaman
in Abingdon, Virginia.
Not all extractions are dramatic and life changing, but I remove from the
person what is standing in the way of his or her body healing itself. Almost
everyone arrives on my healing table skeptical. This is fine because I am used to
it. All I need is some openness and cooperation to release what is stuck in his
or her energy body.
One of these cases described under testimonials is that of a graduate student, Corey Pearson. Corey is heavily muscled with a scar from his deltoid to
his elbow from an injury and surgery that ended his career as a baseball player
for the Texas Rangers. Graduate students, including Corey, stayed after my
psychology class to see if I could heal them. I did not have to hunt for Corey’s
heavy energy. With my hands four inches above his body, I pulled; nothing happened. He was part of a group of five students. I told them not to be alarmed,
as I went into a trance and then tried again, this time with an archangel. Out
the heavy energy popped. Corey stood and rotated his shoulder three hundred
and sixty degrees, smiled, and thanked me and my angels. It is great to be part
of a healing team (all of whom will be described later).
During my first year, I had a very unusual case. Dorothy could see the energy
field around any person. Dorothy liked my energy field. Dorothy had lost the
ability to see energy in the right eye. I did an illumination first, and then an
extraction. I had healed the right eye. Four hours later, Dorothy called and told
me that many entities had come from behind that eye. I removed the entities.
This process went on three or four times a day. I lost track of the number of
entities after 20,000. I soon realized that I was dealing with a human portal.
Fortunately, at this point, I had begun to work with angels. I got an angel to sit
on the portal 24/7, until the shift or later. This stopped the flow of entities.
I had not heard from Dorothy for several months, and then learned that she
had been hospitalized in a psychiatric facility. Six months later, I got a call from
Dorothy telling me that she was out of the hospital and back home. Dorothy
thanked me for my help and patience with her.
As I graduated from the Four Winds School, I was looking forward to a
full-time practice of healing. However, economically I was not ready. I was to do
three more years of college teaching on a part-time basis. I wanted to work with
another healer. I actually prefer to work with another healer but recognize this is
not always possible.

Cords
“If you can be made to believe in absurdities,
you can be made to commit atrocities.”
—Voltaire
There are two types of cords. The first type are attachments from people
on this earth. Family, friends, and co-workers are frequently found here.
These cords are the anxious/dependent aspects of the relationships. Most of
these, but not always, are attached to the heart wall. I break them out of the
person’s energy field and simply return them to sender. Cords are also attached
to a person’s feet. This indicates a difficulty moving forward after the relationships have ended. I have learned to ask the question: Does this client have
these worldly cords. How many are there, and where are they located in the
body? These cords can reattach, but usually they will do so only if the person
has invited them back.
An example is a friend and colleague of mine, Ann, who is a Four Winds
graduate and lives in Hamburg, Germany. Ann has two adult daughters who
live in Berlin. Ann reported to me that she was unable to have any civil conversations with either daughter. I removed cords remotely. Two days later,
Ann called and reported that she was having pleasant conversations with both
daughters.
These types of cords are not limited to personal and family relationships.
An MD had twenty-seven cords connecting to his patients. A psychologist had
nineteen cords. I recently had a phone call from a woman who was not ready
to do shamanistic healing. After the phone conversation, I asked my healing
team what was blocking her from coming for healing. The answer was 87

cords connected to people. This person was living in the midst of a large tribe.
The next type of cords involves those from deceased relatives. These are
stronger, and they produce more of an energy drain on the person. Ninety
percent of the time, they are attached to the heart wall; but, as I recently discovered, they can be attached to a gall bladder or any other organ or part of the
body. Once they are removed, and I have them between my hands, I perform
a healing and forgiveness ritual and release them of trapped emotions. I then
bless the people and send them to the heavenly realm. The person feels light
and the relatives are now in heaven—a win-win situation.
One of my hopes is that a cardiologist (with an open heart) will read this
chapter and enter into a partnership with me.
Some Examples of Cord Removals
The first step is to remove them from the person’s energy field. Then with
their energy in between my hands, which are about ten inches apart, I perform
a healing ritual focused on forgiveness and release of trapped emotions. Then
each person gets an angel who escorts him or her to the heavenly realm.
People often have four or more deceased cords. Once removed, they feel
much lighter. Some of my clients have heart issues. Usually after cord removal,
their cardiologists are pleased but amazed by their physical improvement.
For instance, a phone repairman arrived to tell me of the successful repair
of my phone line. He did not look well, and he asked about my healing table. I
briefly explained what I did. The man told me he had three stents in his heart
and that they had hurt since right after breakfast. I asked if he had any other
calls, and he said no. I invited him in and did an illumination and extraction.
I extracted and crossed over six deceased relatives. He got up off my table and
was amazed at how much better his chest felt. He asked, “How do I explain this
to my cardiologist?” I replied that I did not know how to advise him on that issue. I explained that his heart had been carrying a heavy load (that of six other
hearts), and told him that he was now free.
I have also learned at school to do a decoupling process. With my hands
under the fourth and second chakras, I feel the person’s vibrations. I then use
my own vibrating energy and synchronize their second and fourth chakras. I
did this with a retired Air Force General, and his cardiologist was amazed.
I have also learned in my practice to ask if the person has had this health
issue in previous lives. When the answer is yes, I get the number and then bring
“Everything that we see is a shadow cast
by that which we do not see.”
—Martin Luther King, Jr.

them forward over the person’s body. Next I break the karmic bonds. This
clears the person and gives them a much better chance to successfully deal with
the heart issue in this life. I do this with any type of illness. In the past five years
of practice, I have worked with seventy-six people who have had four or more
relatives attached to their hearts.
Veterans frequently have cords. I have found that these cords generally
come from killing children. Adults killing adults happens in every war. Beginning with Vietnam, children became involved. One gunship pilot I worked on,
who had served four tours, had 2,411 black dots in his energy field. One of
the first Iraqi veterans I worked on had a ten-year-old boy attached to his heart
wall. This occurred in house to house combat. The Marine shot and killed the
adult man. As the man died, he handed the AK-47 to his son. The Marine shot
and killed the ten-year-old child. The PTSD came from violating his own moral
code and killing the child.
I have crossed over many “bad” people. The question is: who defines what
is bad? We began with individuals, such as Pakistani devil women, those in the
KGB, and unrepentant Nazis. It is not because we have a special love for these
people, but because part of our mission is to heal and clear the earth. Otherwise, these people roam the earth looking for new people to host them. Just as
our bodies have energy fields, so does the earth—and it badly needs cleaning up.
There is an enormous amount of cleanup work to be done in the “in between”
world. The energy surrounding the earth affects it very much.
Working with cords and crossing people over can sometimes produce some
weird occurrences. About four years ago, I was watching cable TV. (I no longer have cable TV, or any TV.) I was watching the History Channel, and they
announced a two-hour program on “Camp Richard,” an underground tank
factory the Nazis built inside a mine under a Czech mountain. An American
filmmaker from nearby Prague had asked guides to take him through the ruins.
I watched the entire disturbing documentary. The Nazis used concentration
camp labor. The camp was deteriorating after all these years.
In the middle of the night, at about three a.m., I was awakened by 65 laborers wanting to be crossed over; then another group, this one of seventy. I asked
if there were more; there weren’t. I opened sacred space and gathered my healing team, then proceeded to cross them over. The only connection I had with
them was that I had watched the documentary film.
