Day 103 Who Is Shaman Maggie?

Her life is the very course of nature: her death, the transformation of things. In quietude she coils up with the yin, in movement, she opens up with the yang. Her vital spirits are imbued with an endless peace, she does not lose herself in things and yet the world spontaneously submits to her. By non being this sage responds to things and necessarily penetrates into the laws of existence, by her emptiness she receives the plenitude and necessarily fathoms its rules. Nothing is distant from her, nothing is close to her.

She is close to Tao and touches Te, she is not enticed by good fortune, nor does she hasten into misfortune, her hun and p’o remain  in their dwelling places and her vital spirits hold on to the root. Life and death make no difference to her, that is why she is called supremely spiritual ( shen).

She is full as if empty. She knows Grand simplicity and without ado returns to the potential not yet manifested. She incorporates the Root, Embraces the divine and frolics between heaven and earth as a child. Radiant she roams beyond the dust and impurities, and goes higher and yon in aimless wandering. Immense and vast. Clever deceits do not dwell in her heart. Also, life and death are of equal greatness and so she does not distinguish between them. Although Heaven and Earth protect and nourish her, she is not held in the embrace. She experiences Non-failure and does not get mixed up with things. She perceives the disorder of things, but remains steadfast in her Origin.

Her heart and will are concentrated within, penetrating and universal, she is paired with the One. Without learning, she knows. Without looking, she sees, without acting, she achieves, without any effort she discerns. She responds impulsively, she moves when solicited, without willing, she goes as a light shines or like a lightning flash.

Life and death are for her all a part of the same transformation, the ten thousand things are only a single entity. Her essence united with the Root of Great Purity, she takes her pleasure within the confines of the obscure Empire. She does not rush her spirit.. She reverses the end and the beginning and ignores her limitations.

 She rests in a place without corners or bends, she wanders and takes pleasure in a land without trace or form. She is there, but without appearance. She dwells, but in no places, moving she has no form, motionless she has no body.

Beginning and end form a circle and no one can know its ruling principle. That is why the her vital spirits are able to rise up to the Tao -  the place where she takes her leisure.

This is Shaman Maggie.

Day 85 After Death, What Then?

In the end, and I know this from experience, you will judge yourself. You will judge whether your belief system was right or wrong. God does not judge. And in some ways that is even more scary than thinking God will judge you. You will judge yourself! At the moment of death we read from others that your life will flash in front of you. I know that it is slightly more than this. I died and left my body and went into the light and I saw my life from another state, from my  buddhic body and I saw everything I had done and everyone whom I had influenced and all the conversations both good and bad and all the experiences and how they influenced me and how I influenced others. I saw what my beliefs did to myself and to others. I instantly knew what beliefs were right and which were wrong and where I got them and who I affected with them.  I saw the reason why things happened as they did from a different perspective. I could see how my words affected the person I spoke to and what actions they took as a result of my words. For example, if you told someone they were good for nothing, you might see the outcome of that person not being able to hold down a job for the rest of their lives.

Another example is when my mother thought she needed to take my child away because I was going to Colorado for a three week vacation and she found that very irresponsible of me. When she died she saw that I truly was going on vacation and that it was good for me and my child to take that vacation and a lot of great bonding happened during that time. So she saw at the moment of her death that she had made a mistake in her actions there because of her belief system. Luckily it had no deleterious effect on anyone except for hurt feelings all around. And I had already forgiven her for that anyway.

So you see everyone you affected for good and bad. And the feeling is immediately one of asking for forgiveness from those you have harmed. We have all harmed other people in our lives. And in that single flash of an eye you may see that those people have indeed forgiven you for harming them already.

And some may have not.

( it is vitally important for us before we leave this planet to forgive everyone who may have harmed us in any manner, for their sakes, not ours. We may leave at any moment so do your forgiving now.)

I was fortunate in that all those I had harmed had already forgiven me and I was free to go on into the Unity with God. We cannot unite with God unless we have this forgiveness. It is the thing which separates us from God. God does not hold us separate. He does not judge us or cause any separation. We do. We judge ourselves and we cause our own separation from full unity in Him.

I also should tell the other side of the coin here. In this same instant you are given the opportunity to see why people did things to you that were harmful or unjust. You finally see the why in someone's actions. You can see the reality they were coming from, their own belief system. My mother was really trying to protect my daughter. In her heart she did what she thought was right and good. And how could I not forgive her instantly knowing why she did what she did. Of course! There was nothing to forgive! She was loving me and my child! I bless her for her love even if it was displayed in a less than perfect way! WE are humans!

So you see all the reasons why things happened to you. Why your Mother didn't love you enough, why you didn't get that job you wanted so much, everything. And in this instant you see and finally understand and forgive those that have hurt you in any way. "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." You suddenly know what you have done and why others did what they did.

It was a life changing experience for  me. No doubt. But it taught me that I will be the judge of myself. It is in this review of your life, what you have done and what others have done to you that you either give forgiveness and receive forgiveness from and to everyone and everything in your life or you refuse to take and give forgiveness. If you refuse to take or give forgiveness, that is your choice and if you refuse to forgive, you can hang around the Lower Worlds until you change your mind. Some souls hang around until the one they can't forgive also passes on and has this experience, sees what really occured at that time. Then and only then when the first soul is sure that the one he can't forgive sees what really happened, that he can finally forgive and they both go into unity. And if you refuse to take forgiveness you can hang around the lower worlds until you change your mind. It is not God who decides. It is your free will choice. God wants unity. God has always offered you complete Union in Him and with Him and through Him and for this I get on my knees and give thanks!

I chose to come back to this world and complete a life here. It was my choice to come back or not. I came back because my little girl was only 3 years old and I was a single Mom and as much as I wanted to go to that union in a total way I also knew that God had given me a gift here and a responsibility to this little girl who I loved so dearly and so I came back.

It is not God who will forgive you for what you believe. God is beyond forgiveness as He can see exactly why you believe what you believe and exactly why you have acted and thought and spoken as you have. He is not into judgment. He is a God of love. It is you who will judge you. It is you who will see that because of a wrong belief you forced your employees to wear red ties. It will be up to you to forgive yourself for that and to ask their forgiveness for making them do that.

In the end what I have learned most is to not judge others. When I looked on my life I saw that the most grievous errors I had made was in judging others. As I judged them, so I was judged by them. These were the hardest things to obtain forgiveness for. I created wrong beliefs for them and now they have lived with wrong beliefs because of me. The worst feeling.

So I do not judge, My God help me not to judge, because I don't want to make that most grievous error.

  If I do not judge others I also don't need to judge myself.

 Sure, I can see my errors and correct them but that is not judgment,  that is being human and taking responsibility for my life.

But if I judge, I am judged and that is the worst. So it is up to me to examine my beliefs and try to maintain good and true beliefs. This is what buddhism is all about. This is the purpose of recapitulation. We have many tools available to us to help us with our beliefs. And basically if you do no harm to yourself or others, if you are living a life free of judgment with a decent belief system that you monitor, and you are impeccable in your thoughts, words and actions, you are preparing yourself for complete union in God and you will find that union right within this living life now and here.

You do not wait till you die to achieve unity with God. It is here and now. Jesus showed us that it is possible for a human being to be in complete unity with God on this planet now. Reach out for it as it is here available to you right now. We are all human! God knows that! He isn't waiting for you to become something else! He isn't waiting. You are waiting. For what?

God is love and there is no judgment in God. There need be no judgment in you. I share this most important thing I have ever learned with you now. It may not make sense to you and I don't expect it  will but I share it with you because it is so important and I think you might begin to see what I am saying. I wish I could share this piece of pure wisdom with everyone but very few can really understand what I am saying. It seems to be something you need to experience for yourself. But by then it is over and you can't come back and try to do better. You now have a piece of my soul knowledge.

And finally, in my teaching, take what works for you and throw the rest away.

Aho!

Day 81 My 55th Year Practicing Traditional Shamanism

In the day to day existence we struggle through, sometimes it feels as if we get no where. We try so hard just to stay afloat in this sea of hunger, panic, need and competition. It is an amazingly hard thing to keep one’s sanity and some sense of calm and peace when we are swirling around in other people’s demands and expectations.

As I celebrate my 55^th year as a Traditional Shaman, I have surely seen much and experienced for myself this sense of trying to have a life that seemed to never be allowed in peace. I have worked with all kinds of people and have brought what help I could to each and every person who asked for healing. I have taught people the ways of healing in many forms, the way each person could most resonate to their own gifts for healing others. But I tell you, I have the feeling that I am trying to do heart surgery on a kitchen table.

Sometimes we throw our hands up and say, “I just can’t do it anymore!”, but no one hears us, the wind does not die down, we continue being buffeted, pushed this way and that. No matter how we try, how we manipulate, direct, avoid, manhandle, negotiate, cry, scream, or medicate, it does not stop. Is this all that life is?

Now is the time to step right into the middle of this hurricane. Get out of the howling wind and walk into the eye. Stop trying to do surgery on the kitchen table. Stop struggling to do the impossible. Walk into the most fearsome place of the hurricane, right into the eye and stand still there for a minute. The wind has stopped. There is no noise, no person, no conflict, no positive, no negative, no goals, no rewards, no expectations. Stand there for a minute. This place is even more scary than your overwhelming life. You can feel the fear in your chest here, you can feel it in your head and spine, you can feel fear physically here and can hardly bear to be here for one second. The quiet is deafening. The lack of movement is unbearable. But stay here as long as you can. Stay here for a few more moments. Listen.

Try to hear the ocean waves as they reach the shore. Are they crashing in or gently lapping the beach? Can you hear seagulls calling from the sky? Is it day or night? Become aware of what is here in this quiet place. You have come full circle back to nature. Nature who bore you in the beginning, who carries you through life although you are barely aware of her and nature who takes you back when your overwhelming life is through. Is it any wonder that all the mystical, magical practices of healers and Shamans throughout history are connected to nature. Be with the seashore and seagulls for a moment. They demand nothing of you. They are you.

Who are you here? Do you feel little and insignificant?  You cannot do heart surgery with a butter knife. You feel you cannot do anything. You are so helpless really. And all that you do is just a terrible effort with so little benefit. You are tired. You want to let go. And in this place, the center of the eye of your life, right here, right now, in this most scary place, let go. Just be here. Watch the winds howling around you. Flying people and chairs and buildings and expectations and responsibilities can be seen whirling around you. But you stand in the eye where the wind is still and you are untouched by those things for just a moment.  Let the fear subside. You are still.This is the place where healing begins. This is the place I teach about. It is different for each one of us but we all have this place. As we get over being scared of it, of being in the eye of the storm we can find our true self here. But most people are too scared to stand here for any length of time at all.  For most, it is easier to be swallowed up in the storm than it is to step out of the storm and see your own smallness, your own insignificance. But in this very place, this insignificance, lies your peace and your ability to heal.

Some people call this place, this eye of the storm where you are small and little, God, Allah, Spirit, At-One-Ment. And because they believe it is the place of God they find the courage to stand here and not be too, too scared. And if we stand here long enough to get comfortable with this trueness of ourselves we can find the peace and love that is here, has always been here waiting to love us and heal us and give us peace. In fact, if we can spend more of each minute in this place, more of each hour, more of each day, we find that we too can find a way to heal ourselves and to heal others. We find the power of the Spirit is here, in this hurricane’s eye and this power has always been here with us; the power to heal, to love, to be happy, to be at peace. It is not of this earthly world. It is inside the center of each of us.

This is what I teach. Each of us is unique and each person that I teach to heal learns in a unique way. But I am here to help you draw back the curtain and expose the truth about your own self. You are powerful. You are the most powerful person on earth. You have the power to be happy, to let go, to be at peace right now within you. And you have the power to heal.

Fifty five years of my life have been dedicated to Traditional Shamanism and teaching healing. I have studied all over the world with teachers and healers from so many walks of life. And every one of those wise masters will tell you about the place in the center of the storm we must learn to find and stand in to realize those most precious gifts we are all given.  It is from this place that much more than heart surgery can be done on much less than a kitchen table. If you are ready to find your gifts and share with them with those you love, those you care about, those who need you, I am honored to show you how.

For 55 years of service to you my brothers and sisters I am truly grateful! I honor you for showing me the way.

Day 73 Why Do I Charge for Teaching

I wish I had some other income so I could just teach without charging, I truly do! I wish I was independently wealthy or was supported by a husband or trust fund, but I am not. That is not how it is supposed to be, anyway.  

I never charge for healing, but think about it; if I put myself in a position where I cannot afford a loaf of bread, then I won't be able to teach, right? So in order to study with a teacher, you have to support that teacher so he or she can teach, right? Have you ever had a teacher in school who didn’t earn her living through your financial support?

As I told you, I have no other source of income. My students support me completely and actually that is the true Traditional way of Shamanism, to be supported completely according to the Shaman's own effectiveness as a Shaman. I obviously have very strong and true teachings if I can be supported solely by students. I obviously am an effective healer if I can be supported by the free will donations I receive from those who are healed. If I was not supported by my students and donations and I had to make a living working at Wendy’s, I would not be here to help so many people gain their healing or grow spiritually.

So by asking me to teach you for free, you are asking me to not have any bread, to not have a place where I can have a computer, to not afford internet, to not be able to teach and yet to not charge for teaching. Do you see how impossible it is?

There is a basic truth known to all Shamans and it says that effectiveness is the yardstick of ability. What that means is you can tell a good baker by his baked goods. You can tell a good gardener by the flowers he grows. You can tell a good Shaman by the healings and teachings she produces.

No matter who you study with, make sure that you can see the effectiveness of that person's ability. My effectiveness can be seen in the fact that my students support me because they are getting something of such value that they choose to support me. I would hope that what you would learn from me would be of such value to you that you would also choose to support me. You pay that carpenter for building your house. You pay that tutor who helps your children. You should see the value in supporting this teacher, too.

 In my case, your donations and course fees make it possible for thousands of other people to find me and receive help because you make it possible for me to be here for them.  These people are at the end of their ropes. They have exhausted all other sources and have no more money to afford any more professionals and they write to me as their last hope.  And indeed, they DO receive their answers and their healing and their lives turn around and they are blessed simply through their contact with my guides and elders and ancestors who are with me here and miracles happen in their lives. Knowing that your donation makes this possible for thousands of people every year, doesn’t it make your heart feel good to know that you are part of their healing? Isn’t this a good cause to donate to? I cannot do this work without your donations and course fees. Sure, I can go work at Wendy’s but think of all the people who would no longer be able to reach me and work with me then.  I think it is right and fitting that I cannot do my work as a Traditional Shaman without your help and financial support! It takes a village to raise a child. This is one way you can help thousands of people and also help yourself.

Day 70 More About the Course I Offer

You know, when I was called to teach Traditional Shamanism I I was not in a place where I could invite a student to come and live with me for 6 months or a year as I had done with the Shamans of the Yaquis or the healers of southern Russia. Not many students have the time or money to travel the world as I did studying first hand from the True Indigenous Shamans.

So how could I make the teachings available to the most people for the least money? People don't have time for anything today, much less time to practice and study Traditional Shamanism. Yet that is truly what it takes. I was "given" 18 lessons with experiences and exercises that I could offer online. If the student does the work throughout the week and keeps a journal daily, remarkable things begin to happen. The first thing everyone finds is that their own guide or elder will appear and be available for teaching. Actually by making the choice to take this course, you are giving permission to your guides and elders to come to you.

As you study the course, the first thing you learn is balancing your bodies. By balancing your physical, mental and emotional body you create a harmony where you can hear your guides more clearly, where you can get assistance and operate from that assistance. You will have dreams that may have meanings to write in your journal. Experiences will start to be seen from a new perspective. As you study medicine wheels and begin using them to send up your prayers and intentions they will have a new feel to them and with the right intention which we discuss in length you will be manifesting your intentions more quickly.

Then we study the aspects of soul retrieval, soul extraction and healing all the while working on ourselves and reaching that place where we are ready to do the work. Intention and emotion are fully explored and their interrelatedness. In the last three lessons we use visualization to show you a place that you have already created for yourself which contains tools you have gathered through many lifetimes;  Akashic records are there, tomes and staffs and power symbols and more are there for you to re-member and to use again freely. And we prepare you to journey from this place into the Inner Worlds. You can start this correspondence course today at www.shamanelder.com

But I teach you individually because everyone is unique. We develop a working relationship through countless emails together and I walk with you down your own path and I stand with you in your own reality because it is the only way to really learn these ancient practices.  I hold a net of safety for you until you get strong enough to hold that net yourself. And you will progress at your own pace and that is why it is called an apprenticeship.  I welcome you to email me at shaman@shamanelder.com with any questions or to begin the course today by clicking on the PayPal button at www.shamanelder.com

Please visit my site at www.shamanelder.com and enjoy the myriad of teachings and blessings you will find there.

Aho ( A Yaqui word meaning “ I speak my truth”)
