Telecall Journey Circle

Comments Off

Wouldn’t it be great to have a circle over the phone where we simply get together to journey and support each other on the path of shamanic learning? Let’s do it! Please join us on the second Monday of each month for an 1 to 1.5 hour call were we will commune with friends, journey to the spirits, and celebrate our connection. The call will meet at 6:30 Mountain time. The format will be:

  • Open circle by calling in the spirits
  • Do a quick introduction and check in around the circle
  • Journey on a topic as a group (or if an individual person prefers he/she may use the time for a personal journey)
  • Share the journeys we did (for those who choose to share). We may break into smaller groups to do this if the circle is large.
  • Close circle

This is a chance to journey in a powerful, supportive circle. The circle of spirits helps keep us focused and gives juice to the experience. Please joins us, and please tell your friends about it!

The calls are on the SECOND MONDAY of each month. We are asking a $5.00 fee per call, however, if that is out of your budget you may join the call for free. (I realize that in hard times some of us are having a trouble scraping together even that little bit of cash!) You will have to pay for the call to the bridge line. To join the next call, click the link below to Pay Pal. After you pay you will be given an auto responder email with phone numbers and logistic for the next call. If you want to join and can’t pay, email [email protected] and we will send you the logistics letter.

End of life perspective

Comments Off

11/01/2009

I just talked with a cat who died last week. This cat said that the body is amazingly tenacious. She was commenting on the pain and suffering that we so often have to go through at the end. She said, “Well what do you expect? To have a body that will stay strong through all of the attacks and tempests life brings means that it will be strong in trying to stay alive at the end. It is the price we pay. Fortunately after you finally die it is easy to forget the pain and just relax again. EVERYONE has to go through it. It is part of the deal of being born. Oh well!”

She never expected euthanasia and couldn’t imagine blaming her person for not having a Doc at hand at 3:00 AM.

She was pretty philosophical. Her last hours were rough, according to her person. It was an interesting lesson!

Overcoming the I Cant’s when you are learning to journey

Comments Off

11/01/2009

If you are having trouble getting started in your shamanic journey work because your mind wanders, or you have thoughts that you can’t do the work – here is something to try:

Set up a basket, jar or container in your room, and you put all your reservations and disbelief into it before you begin journeying. You can get it back later when you are done, or you can ask the spirits to transfigure them. Sometimes our I can’ts come from a belief system that is in conflict with the work. The person might need to think it all through and find a common ground, but the belief system is really so subliminal that it is hard to put a finger on it. So this basket method can help, because you may really WANT to take the things back and work with them later. I have met many beginning students who feel that their catholic upbringing sets them at odds with shamanic practice, and they struggle to get started because of these inner conflicts. But there is a Sister in Flagstaff who teaches shamanism from a catholic perspective, and it is fabulous work. So maybe we just need to set aside our I can’ts and belief systems, and just concentrate on phenomena, and let the thinking part come later.
