The Everyday Shaman

Jeffrey is a formally trained, and certified Usui Reiki Master and Shamanic Practitioner. In addition, he is an ordained, non-denominational minister through the Universal Life Church, has international certifications in Shadow Mastery, Advanced Shadow Mastery, Ancient Egyptian Shamanism, Kabbalah, and Spiritual Counseling.

 

Jeffrey is a published author (The Everyday Shaman) and has a second book in progress detailing many of his shamanic journeys.

​

From age nine,  Jeffrey felt that he was destined to in some way be of help to others, animals, and the planet. It was at that age that his grandmother told him, "Remember who you are." It took many years and life experiences, some traumatic, before he would understand what his this meant.

​

Since that time, Jeffrey's life journey has taken him in many directions. He has worked in white-collar and blue-collar environments and owned his own businesses in his search for purpose. In what he refers to as his 'other life',  Jeffrey worked in positions and careers ranging from cable installer, stockbroker and art director, to national sales manger for international corporations and fine wine sales. Despite the variety of roles he's had, and the knowledge he's gained along the way,  Jeff always heard the beckoning of underlying whispers and that 'knowing' he had as a young child - that he was meant to do something more, and to be of service to others and the planet. 

​

After experiencing an extremely intense traumatic period in his life, Jeffrey was 'nudged' to investigate energy healing, not knowing exactly what to expect. This nudging led to something that resonated within him and became a natural progression to fulfilling his calling, or 'knowing.' After four years of study and practice, he was certified as an Usui Reiki Master. Not long after, he was again 'nudged', this time to shamanism - a move that has profoundly shaped his life as well as the lives of others.

 

Several years later, after surviving a period of intense tribulation, Jeffrey was 'directed' by the Divine to share his story. As a result, he wrote The Everyday Shaman, his personal story of transformation and awareness. A few years later, he was guided to travel the land - with his wife - to be of service by bringing betterment and healing to others and the land wherever that healing was needed. Nearly two years later, after traveling to 24 states, Jeffrey and his wife, Pamela, settled in central Virginia on land once inhabited by the Siouxan Monacans on banks of the historic Rivanna river.

"There is always more to learn, and I strongly believe that there is no one way to bring healing and betterment to others."

- Jeffrey Brunk

​

Despite having faced objections and scorn from other 'spiritual healers', Jeffrey stands firm in the belief that providing healing is not simply an avenue for financial gain. The fees he asks for services are minimal, and will work with anyone who requires assistance, regardless of their financial situation. With that said, it is important that some form of an even exchange of energy between healer and receiver take place. Preventing an energetic imbalance for those receiving assistance goes far in ensuring continued healing and betterment as well as spiritual growth and awareness.

"When we provide help with acceptance and genuine, focused intention, that acceptance will be returned, often when we need it most."

- Jeffrey Brunk
