Faith is a centered act of the total
personality, of being grasped by the power of ultimate concern with ultimate reality.

The Current you Are Not Using

There is a current in this river of life, placed there by Creator and if we allow ourselves to find that flow and go with that flow all good things can be ours.

It is you and your thoughts who deny that current and try to fight with that current and that causes you pain and trouble. 

Your  thought, your ignorant blind belief, that Creator would not care for you enough to put that current into your life,

that is the thought that is causing you harm.

And the opposite of that is the thirst,

the striving,

the desire 

to get yourself into that current.

I know you have felt this current of Creator’s  at times in your life.

 It is there and you know it. 

So why don’t you pursue it?

You know what it feels like when you are in it.

Get to that place again and let that current carry you along into the future.

But you will not be able to observe it at all 

if you are obsessively caught in

the web of your thoughts.

Day 99: Your Healing

You have no idea of the healing that is being conducted through me by God to you and your family. You have no full concept that I have come to this world to this lifetime to bring miracles into the world for you and your family right now as I was trained all my life to do. You have no concept that I deliberately intended to bring God’s miracles to you at this time in the universe of all the eons of time that I could choose to be here. I will continue to do so. For you – because I love you. Just ask me.

Day 97 An Exercise for You to Try

How are you doing today? Ready for a shamanic visualization exercise?

Try this little exercise
 and then write your answers to the questions in your email reply to shaman@shamanelder.com

 Diagnosis One. Above and Below

 First: Sit down. Find room enough to draw a circle around yourself out
 the length of your arms. So you are probably sitting on the ground.

2. Take a deep breath. Take several. Calm yourself and balance yourself.

 3. Think of one color. Quick! Put that color inside your circle. What
 color is it?

4. Think of one bird that most represents you. The bird you most like or
 identify with. Imagine that bird flying around your head in this circle.
 What bird is it?

 5. Imagine one animal you have always identified with. Imagine him
 standing beside you. What animal is it?

 6. Imagine one plant that you have always liked. See a whole field of
 this plant growing all around you. You are sitting in a field of your
 favorite flowers. What flowers are these?

 How do you feel right now? Breathe. Just take this in and breathe.
 Center yourself.

 OK now look again at the bird flying around over your head. Invite this bird into your heart. Does it come in easily or does it hesitate? Is it happy
 or sad? What emotion does the bird have?

 Now look at the animal standing beside you. Invite this animal into your heart. Does it come in with joy, anger, does it hesitate, does it refuse?What emotion does it have?
 Is it happy or sad or angry? Does it say anything to you?

 Now look at the field of flowers. Are they well and growing great? Just
 budding? Withering? How do they feel emotionally?  Look at their roots?
 Are they long and strong or weak?

Now lie back in the field of flowers. Actually lie down for this moment
 on  the place you have been sitting. Just stretch out for a moment and
 visualize that field of flowers all around you. No matter whether they
 look good or bad, thriving or wilting. Just be with them for a minute.
 How do they make you feel?

Day 95 The Eyes Have It

In my native tradition there are varying levels of skills or abilities for each Shaman. But every shaman has tarni which are like mantras or special words  or chants that contain healing power or are words which call in the power of helper spirits. A helper spirit may be a tree or a stone or a bird or something that is not manifested physically here but is in allegiance already with that Shaman from a long ongoing relationship. A Shaman apprentice is often given a special stick or staff to carry early in his or her education and it becomes the Shaman's horse or reindeer in the non manifested reality. It is taken care of and a special relationship is formed with that staff. The staff can then help the Shaman in healing work in later years. The Shaman has just one staff all her life and is usually buried with this staff. To gain possession of a dead Shaman's staff is believed to cause the death of the possessor.

Ab is the word used to explain the power of the Shaman as a healer.

Huch refers to the Shaman's spiritual strength.

Tsog describes the shaman's psychic abiltiies or chi force.

Because the Shaman's tsog is sometimes seen as fire or lightning or sparks from that Shaman's eyes, it is considered disrespectful and even dangerous to look a Shaman in the eyes, directly. The eyes are considered a window to ones soul. The Shaman can often diagnose soul loss by looking into a person's eyes. And evil can be seen there and attach itself to someone from there, too. It is believed by my people, possible for an evil person to take your soul from you by looking into your eyes. Some people steal the energy of other people by looking into their eyes. So I was taught to be very careful about whose eyes I made contact with, to be sure it was someone good and trustworthy. We also see this same belief in Native American traditions. You might want to be careful about who you make eye contact with for these very good reasons.  You just learned why people bow their heads when in the presence of power!

Day 93 Get Out of Your Way

To get your life, give your life away. Give it to the higher intelligence, the greater mind, the larger you. Stand out of your own way. Open to intelligence that's beyond your comprehension.

As a leaf grows its complex form without consciousness, you grow and prosper in your season. You don't need to make yourself grow. You don't need to control your life.

Have faith in a greater power. Look at nature. The intelligence of creation is far beyond the comprehension of any of its beings. There's no need for beings to be aware of their own creation.

Your conscious mind is meant for something else. The ego isn't evil. It's just misdirected. Stand out of your own way. Watch and learn. Be prepared to be amazed.

Day 88 The Charismatic Power of The Way

When you begin to understand that everything here is the Essence of Creator and that you too are the Essence of Creator you will begin to experience a unity with all of creation both manifest and non- manifest. And in this unity that you can grow to experience, you will find you are freed from labeling, greedy passions, and “shoulds”. This opens the Way. Things begin to happen to you. You do not will them to happen, you allow the Essence of Creator to affect you and of course it will affect you in positive ways. You can become empty of ego and align in the Oneness of Creator.
When you are empty of ego you can then wander freely, with the coming and going, become fluid, become your spiritual self. You will then attain Te which is power and virtue.
Make a place inside yourself for your spirit to reside, to live, and it will come of its own will and take up residence within you.
Cease acting through the ego and begin to act through the Spirit. Let Creator instruct your every action.
Force brings the opposite of what you intend. Just allow, accept and receive.
Throw away good and evil, judgment, and stop thinking so much! Follow no path and you will attain the perfect path of Creator.
The Shaman has an internal quality called nei shang that moves her in and out of the world of time and space. She embraces the WAY, a fertile chase full of the Original Energy, the Esssence of Creator called yuan chi. She has a powerful beneficial influence on her surrounding, the charismatic power of the Way, The Path of Creator.
I have much more that I so very much want to teach you but I can only teach you what you can understand today.

Day 87 Package Bombs

So many times we make a choice based on nothing at all. We assume something or we take a chance or we talk ourselves into something or we believe what someone else says. All too often that choice is not a good choice. We choose to believe something with no basis in fact at all, with no foundation, with no real information at all. We let that thing become our reality by choosing to believe in it. It is amazing how sloppily we choose our beliefs and let those beliefs create our reality. A simple distaste for something, a quick decision about how we feel about something, an experience that we didn’t enjoy one time, basically a shot in the dark creates our reality and forms our experiences. How can we be so cavalier with our lives? Is it any wonder that people have dis- ease?

Wouldn’t it be better to not choose anything at all rather than to choose something you know nothing about? Why do we always pick up those mystery packages along our paths? Are we so dissatisfied with what we already have? Yes we are! For most of us, any other package seems more appealing then not having a package at all. We want things. We want diversions and toys and mystery trains and surprises. And what causes this? Desire, dissatisfaction with what we have. After all, what we have now is most likely the result of making choices based on nothing as well. So we go from bad choice to bad choice all our lives. No wonder we have dis-ease.

So how can we end this dis-ease and have a life that does benefit us? By choosing what we believe very carefully. We need to investigate things more thoroughly. We need to consider all choices and their ramifications before we make a choice. We need to be more conscious of what we are doing.  If we have to take days or weeks to understand a situation in order to make a good choice, then take that time because that choice is going to create your reality, maybe even for a long time to come. That package may be a bomb. How are you going to know? By perceiving it. By using your outer and inner senses to perceive that package until you do know what it is. And if you cannot figure out what it is then I suggest you don’t pick it up. Better to walk past fifty pretty packages and not take any of them rather than to pick up one bomb.

Day 78 The Meaning of Aloha

The Meaning of ALOHA

A = AO
L = LOKAHI
O = OIAIO
H = HA'A HA'A
A = ALOHA
 As a way of living in harmony with yourself and the whole world. Grab your surfboard and take a ride now.
A = AO Light - i, the light of the sun shining down on the islands and on you. In ancient terms the A in Aloha are about awareness: awareness of our place in nature, our loving relationships with our fellow brothers and sisters, our interconnectedness in this web of life. When you have the spirit of Aloha you are like a child in the playgound of love, fully in the moment, fully present to all the goodness and blessings, beauty and joy around you. Paddle out in the beautiful sunlight and get ready for a great wave to come up behind you. Be watching for it as you get a tan with your fellow surfers. You have to be aware!
 
L = LOKAHI  Oneness. Being in the wave, riding it along with everything else in the wave. The unity of everything and your part in this unity. You can feel this unity on the islands so very strongly. It requires and openess and honesty that children are so famous for. Speaking your truth and respecting the truth of all brings this unity to the forefront. You are moving in this wave and letting it propel you towards the shore lined with palm trees. You can ride freely when you are one with this wave.
O = OIAIO I'O = Truth. Feeling the energy of the wave as strong and true. Recognizing this energy of nature's truth we can learn from it and how to use it in our own lives. There is an honesty that pervades the islands. You can't live there long without facing your own deceptions and dealing with them. This is the spirit of aloha, being truthful with yourself. Do you think you have no power? Do you believe that you can't change your life for the better? Come into this wave of nature, into the territory of Madame Pele and feel truth all around you. It is bound to show you what you can really do if you choose. You ride in your truth and you are better at it than you thought!
H = HA'A HA'A = Humility. And as we ride this great Hawaiian wave of power how can we not feel humble in the immense force pushing our sufrboards towards the shore! We are just little things in this incredible wave of life, love and abundance! 

A = ALOHA Absolute, true love. That beautiful touch of Divine essence permanently installed in each one us.

Day 69 Why Do I Teach Traditional Shamanism

You are being offered this course to learn Traditional Shamanism. And why was this course given to me to offer to those who seek it? Because, for every dis-ease on this planet there is also a cure. The yin and the yang, the balance in all things is a universal law. And some of the cures are contained only in traditional shamanic healing methods. But Traditional Shamanism is being wiped out by overpopulation, by commerce encroaching on indigenous tribes and the cancerous deterioration of Traditional Shamanism in the name of Christianity over the last 600 years. Traditional Shamanism is dying. Yes, there are many people on this planet today who have been Shamans in previous lifetimes or have some heritage or lineage to it today.

I believe that once a Shaman, always a Shaman. When, in any lifetime, we make the commitment to walk the path of the Shaman,  that commitment comes with us from lifetime to life time. And I know this is true because there are many people out here today who are suffering from physical, mental and emotional pains because they are not following their path as Traditional Shamans. They find me. There is no one else to find out here who is sincere and actually trying to help them re-member their individual tools and skills and abilities that are buried right within their own hearts. They only need someone to shine a light for them.

In the old days we would be reborn into a shamanic society. The shaman there would quickly recognize our shamanic talents and would raise us up to be the Shamans we were meant to be. Bu today we are born into societies that shun shamanism, that tell us to throw away any thought of being a Shaman, that having gifts and skills and tools of a Shaman is sick and disgusting and insane. Who is here to help these people? You cannot just throw away your commitment! Yet you cannot find anyone to help you! And until you do start walking your path, it hurts. You know this is true.

Is it any wonder why Creator called for this course to be created? And yes, every single person who comes to this course receives a life changing gift. If they were not meant to be Shamans they at least see that they are meant to be healers and they have learned some wonderful tools to be healers with. A totem, a medicine wheel , finding one's guides and teachers puts any healer on a wonderful path for growth and fulfillment and joy and healing. And if the student is meant to be a Traditional Shaman, has been a Shaman in a past life or has a lineage to it today, then the gifts they get from this course are astounding! Their whole life takes a direct turn towards their mission in life. The sails billow with a fresh wind and the rudder points true and it is a joy for me to watch them sailing proudly out into the world feeling capable and sure of who they are and ready to bring Traditional Shamanic healing into the world. And this happens for every single student without exception.

Day 54 Dealing with Beliefs Given to us in Fear

When I was in first grade my first experience in school, We didn’t even have to go to any kindergarten or preschool then, my teacher was a nun dressed in black and white  habit who stood 6 foot 11 and wore size 16 men’s basketball sneakers, the only shoes that would fit her. Imagine this teeny little 6 year old girl sitting in an oversized desk looking at those gigantic shoes that could just stomp her out. I would look up to the top of the world and see that mean face wrapped in that nun outfit glaring down at me. I would feel the sting of her ruler on my back if I didn’t’ sit up straight enough. Yes I was definitely afraid of her.

When children are afraid of the parental authority like I was of this nun, and she tells me that girls are dumber than boys, I don’t need any facts or logic to believe what she is telling me. I believe simply because she said so! And I will believe it with all my heart and soul rather than have her come down on me and hit me or stomp on me. Anything she told me- I took for the whole truth.

As we grow up, even though that adult is no longer present in our lives. The feelings of fear that pushed non benefitting beliefs into our minds and souls is still there. Those beliefs are held in our psyche by a lock of fear. We still subconsciously fear the authority that taught us that belief. So even into my adulthood I still believed that men were smarter than women. There is certainly no data to back that up. No proof of that, in fact just about everybody would tell you it is not true, but because that belief was given to me as a result of a fear based authority figure telling me what to believe, I am going to believe that belief and not be able to change that belief. I will even make up my own reasons why that belief is true and I might even refuse to hear any one try to tell me it is not true. I clutch that belief because I am afraid to let go of it because I still have a child’s fear of that nun inside me, what might happen if I let go of her belief, how will I be punished, what terrible thing will happen to me if I doubt that belief. I subconsciously feel safe by continuing to believe this non benefitting belief. To change it would make me feel unsafe as though I was violating something and would get hurt. It is this feeling of safety I get from believing this belief that makes me keep it no matter how disabling it might be to me.

So with beliefs like these we have to see WHO taught us these non benefitting beliefs and are we still afraid of those authority figures? Do they still hold power over us? Until we can face the authority who taught us these non benefitting belief, face to face, adult to adult, until we can remove the fear that they had over us consciously, we cannot remove these beliefs.  We must realize that it is no longer dangerous to disagree with that authority figure who told us to believe in these beliefs and we can now update our beliefs based on the current reality of things in our lives today. I think we all have been given beliefs like these. I think it is worth it to find them and deal with them. What do you think?

Email me at shaman@shamanelder.com and we can work through such a  non-benefitting beliefs of yours for free! Or visit http://www.shamanelder.com/

Day 53 Create your own Reality

Aho! I am using an analogy this morning to explain this teaching to you. We are walking through a forest. We created this forest with our beliefs. It is unique to us and not like anyone else's forest. No one else can walk in our own forest, only us.  Everything that is beautiful here we created with our beliefs and perceptions and past experiences. And everything dark and scary here we also created with our beliefs, perceptions and traumas and experiences.

With each step we take we can perceive something new. We can become the observer and see the glistening of the leaf or hear the whippoorwill if we can just observe. WE can see things that we could not see yesterday because we are doing the work to open our selves up to perceiving new things, the point of lesson one. There are said to be 1.5 billion possible perceptions in a life time and the normal human perceives only 1,500 ways. So awareness and letting things show YOU what they are, learning to use your inner senses so that you can perceive more, is all part of sensing this forest and knowing where it is you are walking!

Up ahead off in the distance is a meadow, also of your own creation. You know you want to get to that meadow. You know it exists but you have not been there yet. This path will lead you there. You cannot just teleport yourself there, you cannot wait sitting down on your path for some eagle to pick you up and fly you there. You have to walk step by step along your path.

If you just sit down there, you will get no where and will be stuck in the same place looking at the same old things forever. No changes, just the same old problems and circumstances. But if you walk you take a journey and see new things and have new experiences and create new things with each thought. If you run into a tree you can step back, rub your booboo and see the Light coming from the meadow off in the distance. Let that Light remind you  what your goal is and dust yourself off and keep walking. You created this forest and you can make it even more beautiful by thinking positive thoughts and feeling gratitude and loving all the things in the forest you created. You can choose more benefiting beliefs and walk with those to create even more beautiful trees and let your life experience be more full and beautiful as you walk by choosing these new beliefs. You can eliminate the dark shadows by letting go of old memories you no longer need, old worries, old non benefiting beliefs. Trimming the trees as you go to let more sunshine in!

This is a path and the only way to walk it is to experience it. It is not a mental game. It is a 4 body experience. I want to help you walk your forest in joy and peace and light and to really have this full experience because we only get to walk through this forest one time. I want to help you find your way to the meadow beyond.

Day 45 The Suffering of Not Spiritually Growing

There is a tempting force, a negative force in life that opposes Spirit. It is the force of non growth, standing still, immobility. Whatever ceases to change and transform itself decays and perishes. It is a Law of the Universe. This death in Life for human beings can be translated as spiritual sterility. A person who has let the roots of Life, in the deepest part of himself, perish, fall into the power of negating force. This crime against life, Goethe says, is a crime against salvation, your salvation.

This course is like a river. I give you an inner tube and you climb in and begin going down this new river and you see things on the shore that look like you and your life, and you see other people waving at you, they are your guides and teachers and they are glad to see you here! And you find fruit hanging off branches over your head as you glide by and eat plums and peaches on your ride, savor them. You are riding your own river and at the end in lesson 10 11 and 12 the river opens out on to a beautiful lake that you will call home. Now if you choose to, you can grab a branch and stop the ride or grab a rock and hang on or get out of the inner tube and stand on the bank. These are all your choices. But there is no need to. You are safe and you are seeing you and coming into your own power, the power of the river.

 I see you standing on the bank watching things floating by in your river, and saying yes, that is mine, and that is mine and that is mine, yep they are right there. But you are not in the river! Your life is going by while you stand on the river bank watching it go! This course invites you get in the river within the safety of your inner tube and actually be in the river, flowing along, observing you and learning your power and your skills and your abilities that are right in the inner tube right in your mind and heart now, and you might discover that some of the things that you saw in your river while standing on the river banks are just reflections of things that are on the riverbank.  Think about it. Things and experiences and people that you see as you pass along floating in the river of you!

Let yourself flow in the river created by this course. let yourself take what resonates, try the exercises, don't sweat anything, be still and calm and relax.

You have an inner tube you are floating on in the river. You are completely protected! From what? Protected from losing yourself in the hubbub of life, from not being yourself, from not being loved, from not getting where you are meant to go. Is that enough protection for you?
