Energy Mastery: Joseph Callender blends Taoist Principles with Shamanism for Vitality, Stability, and Emotional Wellness

Joseph Callender’s Ascension Shamanism combines Taoist philosophy with Shamanic wisdom for vitality, stability, and emotional wellness.

Energy is the secret sauce for healing. This philosophy is emphasized by Joseph Callender, Founder of Ascension Shamanism, a Melbourne-based shaman, who has built a practice around Taoist Energy and Shamanic Ritual techniques, creating a pathway for physical vitality and emotional balance. 

Joseph has a grounded, practical background, having been immersed in corporate sales and consultancy for 25 years, negotiating multimillion-dollar deals while traveling the globe. Yet even in high-pressure boardrooms, his spiritual practices balanced his corporate life. “The more spiritual practice I did, the more successful I became,” he shares. 

This is the realization that set him on a path that would later become Ascension Shamanism.

Joseph Callender: A Life Shaped by Spirit and Service

Joseph was born in Great Britain with Caribbean and French-Native American Lineage. He spent decades studying shamanism, energy practices, and psychotherapy. His training includes:

• 20 plus years in philosophy and Taoist studies.
• Advanced certifications in energy healing, hypnotherapy, and family constellation therapy.
• Shamanism Mentorship with the High Chief of the White Serpent Lineage.
• Work with plant medicines and indigenous ceremonies.

His diverse background contains both ancient wisdom and modern therapeutic practices. In 2013, he co-created Shamanic Energy Training™, training hundreds in shamanism and energy disciplines. By 2022, he launched Ascension Shamanism, a platform designed to help spiritual entrepreneurs, healers, and leaders rise above burnout and rediscover their energy.

Ascension Shamanism: A Path of Power

Joseph’s offerings are wide-reaching but have one goal: transformation. His programs guide students and clients to clear emotional blocks, build spiritual resilience, and create stronger connections to their intuition.

• Spirit Weaver Program: A dive into energy mastery and spiritual leadership.
• Qigong Classes: Powerful practices that energize, ground and center.
• Soul Cleanse Sessions: Shamanic Clearing for emotional and spiritual renewal.
• Constellation Work: Trauma-informed methods for family and ancestral healing.

His services are available globally, with workshops, self-paced courses on Power TV, and private mentoring. Joseph believes mentorship is key: “Training with an experienced and competent mentor, even if only for the basics, will set you up for safe practice.”

The Role of Qigong in Healing

Qigong, one of Joseph’s principal offerings, is an ancient Chinese discipline that replenishes the body’s energy reserves. He describes Qi as “the pulsation of the universe itself,” emphasizing that sufficient energy accumulation bolsters our health and vitality.

Benefits include:

• Increased vitality and mental clarity.
• Better stress management and emotional balance.
• A stronger immune system and faster recovery from fatigue.
• A grounded connection for spiritual work.

“Qigong helps to ‘fuel’ you with vitality, energy and power. The fuel you acquire helps you process and heal from trauma. It supports your spirit work, replenishing the energy that intense spirit work consumes,” Joseph shares. “Increased Qi energy helps you to stay grounded, enabling you to think more clearly and boosting your access to your own creativity. It speeds up sports recovery and helps overcome fatigue. Regular practice also maintains a high frequency and energy potential and will keep you in an abundant frequency band.”

Joseph integrates Qigong into his shamanic approach, using movement, accumulation practices, and meditation to release emotional tension and support healing.

Why Ascension Shamanism Is Highly Relevant

The modern world is fast-paced, leaving many feeling spiritually disconnected. It is, in all honesty, a rat race. Joseph’s work offers an antidote. Progress is, a lot of times, held back by psychological blockages. He helps clients move past generational trauma, psychic disturbances and burnout, showing them that transformation does not require escape. Instead, it’s about building resilience and connection, qualities that assist your energy system to power through, and help overcome energy and emotional burdens. 

His teachings have a ripple effect. By training leaders and healers, Joseph is creating a network of practitioners who carry these methods into their communities. This focus on empowerment is what makes Ascension Shamanism one of the best healing practices.
