A Note on New Descriptive Language and Framing​

Over time, the language used to describe my work must evolve along with the work itself. As my practice has matured, it has become clear that some of the inherited spiritual language I once relied on no longer reflects the precision, scope, or intent of what I actually do.

 

You may notice changes in how my work is described across this site and in my public writing. Terms that once served as useful shorthand are being refined, clarified, or set aside altogether. This is not a shift away from the work, but a move toward greater accuracy and transparency.

 

What has not changed is the work itself. The core treatment, the protocol, and the outcomes remain intact. What is changing is the frame around it. I am no longer presenting my work through language shaped by the New Age marketplace or by spiritual narratives that prioritize performance, symbolism, or comfort over function and truth.

 

This evolution reflects a commitment to clarity. It is an effort to describe the work as it actually operates, without relying on obsolete metaphors or spiritual gloss that can obscure more than they reveal. The goal is not to make the work more abstract, but more grounded and precise.

 

If you have worked with me before, nothing essential is being removed. If you are new here, this shift is simply an orientation point. The language may feel different, but the work remains focused on integrity, depth, and real‑world impact. It is still rooted in traditional shamanic practice, while expanded into a clearer understanding of the protocol and the energetic architecture involved, without reliance on fallacious spiritual scaffolding, archaic archetypes, or ancient metaphors that no longer serve the work.

​

Thank you for taking the time to read this. The pages that follow reflect this ongoing refinement.

 

 

 

Welcome to Integrated Shaman

 

​

Integrated Shaman is the practice of Steve J. Wagner. Steve occupies the rare space where clinical trauma work meets advanced metaphysical architecture. While his early work established him as a shamanic authority, his recent deconstruction series moves beyond the standard tropes into a relentless analysis of how reality is experienced through the human architecture. As a shaman, ordained minister, certified energy medicine practitioner, Reiki Master, paranormal investigator, and author, he brings over two decades of experience in spiritual healing and consciousness work to a recent focus on metaphysical deconstruction and critical analysis of inherited spiritual frameworks. He provides a structural map for those who have outgrown standard spiritualism but still require deep energetic recalibration.

 

 

Rooted in ancient shamanic traditions and expanded through contemporary understanding of the biofield and nervous system, Integrated Shaman offers Structural Consciousness Integration or SCI. This refined, trauma informed energy treatment developed from earlier shamanic Soul Retrieval and energy healing practices, including the protocol previously known as Shamanic Consciousness Integration. This work incorporates chakra and biofield healing, vibrational restoration, and Soul Retrieval practices to support the reintegration of fragmented consciousness and forward movement after life altering experiences.

 

 

While the language has been refined, the core work remains focused on restoring displaced aspects of consciousness, resolving trauma and long term spiritual and emotional erosion of self, and supporting individuals as they move through major life thresholds with greater clarity and steadiness. Integrated Shaman is more than a healing practice. It is a threshold space where ancient wisdom meets modern energy medicine, supporting individuals as they release outdated patterns, reclaim lost internal resources, and step into new phases of life.

 

 

In addition to SCI, here you will find:

 

 

Steve’s Published Works: Spiritual nonfiction and metaphysical explorations that dismantle modern spiritual fallacies, examine flawed energetic architectures, and challenge inherited narratives about consciousness, initiation, and creation. In Simpatico, Steve Wagner explores the fusion of ancient spiritual teachings and contemporary scientific understanding. The Major Arcana is a deep exploration of archetypal resonance, offering insights into spiritual growth and the symbolic language of tarot, but not how you might expect. Celestial Currents: The Unscripted Soul is a visionary work that bridges the personal and the cosmic. This spiritual fiction redefines reincarnation not as a rigid contract, but a curriculum of contingencies. His popular article Practical Ways To Be More Spiritual offers accessible insights to make daily activities profound spiritual events.

 

 

His most recent writings represent a pivot into critical examination and metaphysical-spiritual deconstruction. Essays, articles, and blog posts, including The Dark Side of Ascension: Not Rapture, But Rupture, The Illusion of Linear Time: The Root of Modern Spiritual Fallacies, and The Botched “Divine” Experiment: Bungle in the Jungle, reflect a deepening inquiry into the flawed energetic architectures and myths underlying modern spirituality. His LinkedIn article Modern Spirituality Will Never Bring Awakening or Ascension: A Post-Collapse Analysis of Spiritual Fallacies and Deconstruction speaks to how the spiritual industry is failing us, in purpose, in concept, and in structure.
