Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.

Warren Buffett

In our modern world, much of the efforts to renew the self are focused on "fixing" problems and piecemeal attempts to couple together a few positive elements to give the appearance of a new identity. Inevitably, we must confront the negative conditions of our current reality and endeavor to overcome these barriers to a better life, but often our solutions involve evading the negative energy rather than abolishing it. The shamanic principle of extraction is focused on identifying, removing, and eliminating misplaced energy. Each of us is an energy system — holistic and fully integrated.

Our energetic systems were designed by the cosmos to operate perfectly and to be capable of constant regeneration, but in the context of our current reality, we often suffer from the misplacement or distortion of our energy fields in ways that cause us to suffer illness, depression, pain, and a host of other maladies that require significant attention if we are to achieve a restoration of our perfect selves.
