Shamanic Ceremony, the Toroidal Field, and the Hollow Bone: The Sacred Science of Healing
The Sacred Role of Ceremony
Many people ask me: What is ceremony? Why does it matter in healing work, especially with plant medicine and entheogens? Ceremony is not simply a ritual—it is a living, breathing container where intention, spirit, and energy converge. For thousands of years, medicine plants and sacred psychedelics have been used successfully to bring healing, awakening, and alignment with Spirit. These tools were never meant for casual or recreational use. They are portals of transformation, most powerful when entered with reverence, guidance, and a sacred structure.
A true ceremony is a container where healing energy is amplified, directed, and held with precision. When we open ourselves within that container, we create the possibility for deep transformation, soul retrieval, and authentic wholeness.
The Toroidal Field: The Energy of Ceremony
At the heart of every ceremony lies a profound energetic principle: the toroidal field. This is the natural electromagnetic energy field that flows through and around every living being. Imagine energy flowing up through the spine, out through the crown, circling around the body, and returning again through the base—an infinite loop of life-force energy. This is the same energy field that surrounds Earth and even the stars.
Shamans are trained to ground themselves into this toroidal field. By aligning with it, they stabilize and harmonize their own energy, creating coherence in the ceremonial space. The shaman becomes a bridge between worlds, a channel for Spirit. They enter what is known as the state of the hollow bone.
The Hollow Bone: Becoming the Vessel
To be a hollow bone means to empty oneself of ego, agenda, and personal interference, allowing only the voice of Spirit to move through. In this state, the shaman becomes pure conduit—neither adding nor taking away—simply holding space for what is meant to arise.
This principle of the hollow bone is central to all shamanic healing. The shaman does not "do" the healing; Spirit does. The shaman simply holds the toroidal field steady, calls in benevolent forces, and allows the Divine to move as it wills. True ceremony cannot happen without this surrender.
The Architecture of Ceremony
True ceremony does not happen by accident.
Sacred space is created. The directions are called, inviting the Spirits of air, fire, water, earth, and ether to witness and protect.
Grounding into the toroidal field. The shaman anchors into the energetic current of the Universe, a living flow that moves like a spiral through all creation.
Holding the container. Negative energies are transmuted and discharged. For some, this might look like "extraction work"; for others, it is silent and unseen. But the work is done.
Becoming hollow bone. The shaman empties themselves of ego and will, becoming a channel. Spirit moves through them—not for their glory, but for your healing.
Creating the Container of Healing
Ceremony begins with creating sacred space. The shaman calls the directions, invoking the spirits of air, fire, water, earth, and Spirit itself. Ancestors, guides, and compassionate spirits are invited in. These allies have waited lifetimes to be of service to us, and when we call, they respond.
Once the container is set, the participants' intentions rise like smoke from the fire. Desire for healing, freedom, or connection becomes a magnet that draws divine support. In ceremony, this longing creates a vacuum in the universe, pulling in the energy that restores, mends, and illuminates.
Through music, song, drum, and medicine, the participants are guided into altered states of consciousness where the veils thin, and the spirit world becomes accessible. Here, the deepest healing occurs—not just of the body, but of the soul.
How Healing Happens in Ceremony
Shamanic healing is not a linear process. It unfolds like a spiral, peeling away layers of wounding and illusion. Each ceremony may reveal another layer—grief, anger, fear, or loss—that is ready to be witnessed, released, and transmuted.
The shaman's role is to listen deeply, to the body, to Spirit, and to the subtle energies of the participants. When the toroidal field opens, energy begins to circulate. Participants may weep, laugh, tremble, or sigh as the energy releases. What matters is not the form of expression but the authenticity of it.
When the shaman steps into the hollow bone, they become the steady presence that holds the current. This allows participants to surrender fully to their healing without fear. What arises comes directly from Spirit, and the response—whether small or profound—always comes from the deepest soul level.
Recognizing a True Ceremony
In today's world, many people call themselves shamans or facilitators. But not all who hold space truly understand the depth of this work. A few guiding questions to discern:
- Does the facilitator create a sacred container, calling in directions and compassionate spirits?
- Can they speak clearly about the spirits and allies they work with?
- Do they know how to safely clear negative energies and attachments?
- Do they embody humility, serving as a hollow bone rather than seeking personal recognition?
A true shaman is not defined by where they trained, but by their direct relationship with Spirit and their ability to serve as a channel of love, compassion, and power.

Ceremony as the Path to Wholeness
At its core, ceremony restores us to our original wholeness. Through sacred ritual, plant medicine, song, and prayer, we are reminded of who we truly are: luminous beings connected to all of creation. Each layer of healing moves us closer to sovereignty—not the ego's sovereignty, but the deep knowing that we are one with Spirit.
When we heal at the soul level, we no longer seek something outside to complete us. We remember our authenticity. We feel whole. And from that place, we are able to stand in the gap for others, becoming ourselves the hollow bone, channeling Divine light for those still in need of healing.
