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 94 How to Make a Difference

The best way to make a difference in this world is to work on perfecting yourself. If you can create a strong beautiful relationship with Creator within yourself, that relationship will glow within you and will inspire others to seek their own connection to Creator without you having to say anything at all. Words are cheap. I see you trying to make a difference in this world for others but the real work is right there inside yourself. It’s not about leading other people with words or telling other people what they should do. Its right inside your own heart, your own life, your own example. The fourth truth of shamanism says It is what you do that defines you. Its not being a leader for others. It being the leader for your own life. It’s your example as someone who has done the work to perfect her own spiritual body that inspires others to see that they too can have this in their own lives. Then when they see its possible by your simple example, living and working among them, doing some ordinary job where people can be around you and see you like a clerk in a store or a customer service rep,  that they can allow themselves to accept this and they will receive it directly from Creator instantly. Creator doesn’t need you to lead people. Creator needs you to do the work to heal your own self and by doing that you become an example in this world for those who do not believe that they can be healed.

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 92 Where Are You?

Do you have a memory of a better place or time? Do you really think there was a better time than this time or a better place than this place?

No time is better than now. No place is better than here. You can dream of times and places from long ago and imagine that they're better. They're only better in your imagination. You forget what you want to forget and remember what you want to remember. It was never that good. It was never that bad. It was like now, good and bad, depending on how you want to imagine it.

This time and place has infinite depth, because your imagination has infinite depth. What exists is like raw material for your imagination. You fill in the blanks. You paint the picture of your experience whatever colors you like. You choose good or bad according to your needs. Sometimes you need a bad experience to make you feel good. Sometimes you need emptiness to have something to fill. You may need dreams to entertain yourself. You may need pathos to liberate your dreams.

What does it matter in a dream? Good or bad, the dream ends. When the dream ends you are liberated from it. The good or bad judgments end. Nothing will come from it. Nothing will remain. It disappears forever because it never existed. It leaves no reverberations.

Morning comes and a new day begins, again and again. You'll wake up when you want to wake up. You'll never fall asleep again, if that's what you want. You're free to awaken or sleep as you like.

When you dream, you're still real. You continue. Life continues. God continues. The world turns, regardless of your attention. The collective dream continues. You can join it or leave it, as you like.

It takes courage to wake up while others sleep. To be the only one awake can feel like a terrible responsibility. It's not. The dreamer is cared for, always. You don't have to do anything. Everyone is safe.

You don't need to tiptoe through the dreams of others. They'll fit you into their dream stories as they like. You're not responsible for their choices. You can be a hero and a villain at the same time. You can be a star, or you can slip by unnoticed.

You're not alone. You're surrounded by dreams and dreamers. The dreams interweave. The dreamers dance. The dream will end when it ends. Then you'll see it for what it is, nothing at all.

Listen and Be Healed!

I know that Creator does not intend for us to be without healing. For every disease known in this world, the very agents to heal it are also here among us. And it is the joy and honor of the traditional shaman to be able to find these healing agents and bring them across the bridge to this world and its people

I was looking for those healing agents that I could give to the world that would make a real difference and bring healing, wholeness, health, abundance to anyone who wanted such things. So I prayed about it and I was given the go ahead to offer specific healing chants on audio Cds to the world. I ask the client to pay for the cost to create the audio Cd and mail it to them, which is $29.95 and then I ask the client what they are willing to receive a healing from.

 Late at night when I am full of prayer and balanced and happy I sit down in the recording studio and begin to relate the story of that dis-ease in the client’s life. The guides provide me with certain insights as to the cause of the clients dis-ease and I present those in a teaching to show the client why they have this struggle and how to remove it through a simple practice. Then I offer a chant that will clear out any discordance in the client’s mind and open up the crown chakra and the third eye chakra to allow healing to enter into the consciousness of the client. This chant that I do with the client together not only removes the dis-ease but opens up all the channels within the physical and etheric bodies of the client and actual physical healing can be literally felt moving and adjusting and re-aligning even the cells and bones and organs and muscles of the physical body. Clarity and serenity and even laughter and joy are the results of the meditation I offer on this audio Cd and when the Cd is over in one half hour, that client has been completely renewed in body mind and spirit.  The continued use of this audio Cd only leads to even more abundance, health, joy and ease.

Yes it is truly a miracle! And it is an honor for me to be able to offer this gift to the world. Its value is enormous. Many, many surgeries, hospitalizations, suicides, conflicts have all been averted because of clients just simply taking a half hour to listen to their own customized Cd in just the one month I have been offering this gift. I feel so humbled to be part of the great healing agenda that Creator intends upon us right now in these latter times.

I know that Creator does not intend for us to be without healing. For every disease known in this world, the very agents to heal it are also here among us. And it is the joy and honor of the traditional shaman to be able to find these healing agents and bring them across the bridge to this world and its people. These audio recordings done in my own voice are just such a healing agent. I am honored to bring them to you.

Day 90 A Message to All My Students

Becoming a Shaman in any lifetime is a pact, a promise, a contract that exists beyond time and space. Once a Shaman, Always a Shaman. You do not need an initiation because you probably already had an initiation, maybe thousands of years ago. Some of my students get to the end of the course thinking I will do some kind of initiation for them and give them some Indian name or something. No. Those of you who are taking this course because you felt a calling to it, an affinity for this path, an attraction to study Traditional Shamanism have probably been Shamans in a past life already.

You will have to practice and learn the skills and do the exercises a million times until Spirit feels that you are ready and you will have an initiation by Spirit, not by me. I am here to hold a torch for you to walk your path. I will remind you of the old ways and everything will seem strangely familiar. Your spirit guides and totems and helpers will come to you now and teach you what you have forgotten. They have prepared this course for you and asked me to walk with you and hold the torch. They will teach you and have told me what to write.

I will also tell you that you must practice, practice, practice. You are very rusty with your skills. The exercises in this course are for practice, not just one or twice but continually until you get all the meaning and all the experience that lies underneath their surface. As you do them over and over you will find other things hidden inside them that I did not talk about. Like a hunter, you must get so good with the bow and arrow, until you are the best hunter in the forest. How can you feed the village if you are not the best? This is where most of my students fall apart. They do not want to do the work.

 

I value you so much that I use my own life force energy, my own chi that keeps me alive, to build a net beneath you and to protect you until you get strong enough to protect yourselves. I give up my own life because I want so much to see you fulfill your life's purpose and I know that this course gives you the tools and skills to do just that! Even if you don’t remember being a Shaman in a time long ago, it’s OK! Just work with these lessons and gain these abilities to heal yourself and others in the old traditional ways. It’s a win-win situation for you and I want you to win!

Aho ( I speak my truth)

Day 89 Why Study Shamanism?

This is probably the most common question asked today. And you know why so many people ask it? Because we are brought up in a society that does not have Shamanism. Worse than that, we are brought up without community. In the old days we were raised with a strong community around us. We lived together, played together, grew up together and sometimes even died together. We had elders and doctors and teachers and medical advisors right within this strong close knit community.

Part of the work for Shaman elders would be to watch the children and find what each child was strong in. Then that gift or gifts were encouraged and the child grew into whatever came naturally to him or her. It was the community, the elders, the teachers, and the parents who realized the blessings and were happy to help the child be what he or she was meant to be in life.

Today we have no such possibility for ourselves or for our children. For the most part, we are raised to fit into a box; to learn what everyone else learns and to ignore or abandon anything that does not fit into society’s box. It doesn’t have to be this way. We have a choice. It is not too late to look inside and find those special gifts we were born with by studying Traditional Shamanism.

Each of us has one or more gifts buried somewhere inside our spirits. Can you imagine how beautiful this world would be if each of us studied and mastered the gifts we were given? Who would be left sick? Or poor?
