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 102 - From a Student of Shaman Elder Maggie to you

i have been a student of shaman elder maggie's now for over 2 years.  i would say that what i've learned is that however my practice is going, as long as i'm doing my best and emailing shaman maggie the answers to her questions and everything i'm going through, plus practicing the lessons throughout my day, i have been in the right place at the right time.  i have thought i was 'falling behind' or 'not getting it' in the past and i still do that sometimes still to this day, but i remember again and again that she has told me that this is not a school course where you will 'get it' and 'get the grade' and i remember that when i feel i am doing the same thing again and again, sometimes without what i think is 'success', but guess what? i find out later that it was teaching me a lesson that i wanted to learn that will help me walk this path. 
just the other day, shaman elder maggie told me to review lesson 1 of the 101 course again! lol... why?  because i asked a silly question that i should certainly by now have known the answer to.. you know what i did? i joyfully read the lesson again and laughed at myself and found joy in reading it again with new eyes!  i've learned to surrender and trust in her guidance and the teachings and release control about how i think it 'should go' or what 'moving forward is' vs. 'moving backward'... if i think about my practice walking this path with shaman maggie and how i've felt most of the time... i would say i've mostly felt like i'm moving backwards and that's how i've learned so much about myself and healed myself and supported others too... by going backwards ALOT!  i don't know if this helps reassure you at all, but it will at least let you know  you are not alone. 
one more thing, the way i explain my practice walking this path with shaman elder maggie is like the karate kid in the movie where he wants to learn karate so mr.miyagi tells him to wax the car, then he waxes the car and thinks he'll get to learn karate next, but then mr.miyagi says sand the floor, and he sands the floor and can't wait until he's done so he can learn karate, then mr.miyagi says paint the fence, and he's a little frustrated and mad at first because he doesn't want to wax cars, or sand the floor or paint the fence, he wants to learn karate already!!... but what happens?  in the end, he realized he was learning karate all along... this is my experience of walking the path of shamanism learning how to practice in the way that shaman elder maggie's grandmother taught her... sometimes it feels like you 'just want to get on to the next lesson and learn shamanism'... but when you look back on everything you've done, practiced, learned, tried, and failed, you have a shamanic experience that you can bring into your life... and that is the best I can say to myself, you and others walking this path... and that's also how i share with people i my life who don't understand what i'm doing and why I email and talk about shaman elder maggie so much... i share with them the story about the karate kid and i say... i am the karate kid and shaman elder maggie is like mr.miyagi and they usually get it and i do too... at least for a moment. - Kristine Castro

Day 101 From a Student

A Student Writes: "I am so honored beyond belief as to who you are for me, my family and everything and I am clear that I cannot even imagine all the miracles you are causing.  I see them every day.  My husband is so thankful for you in our life too.  He had a great conversation with his younger son yesterday and were clear it was you who helped with that.  Thank YOU.  Things are getting better all around, both of them seem happy and healthy and taking care of themselves and responsible and they both seem clear.  Thank YOU.  Again, youre making me cry.  My only issue today was that I noticed my brain trying to figure out how to repay you my husband says not to do that and just receive.  He is very wise. its receiving of your love and Creators love for me that makes me cry tears of gratitude, freedom and joy". - Kristine Castro

Day 100 Learning

"It does not matter if you have not yet started to learn something. When you have started, however, you must not stop until you really know it. It does not matter if you have not yet asked questions, but when you begin, you must not stop until the questions have been answered. It does not matter if you have not yet started to think carefully, but when you do, stop only when you have reached a conclusion. It does not matter if you have not yet started to discern something, but when you have, you must not stop until you are clear. It does not matter if you have not yet started to practice something, but when you do, you must diligently put it into practice."

This is my last day of my commitment to post a teaching each day for 100 days. If I can keep this commitment I can keep any commitment. I have proven my trustworthiness and my abilities to you. Now you can learn the 20 tools and skills that I can and will teach you in my course at www.shamanelder.com to make your life all that it CAN BE! Nothing is stopping you but your own fear of change. But without change how can things get even better?

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.
Aho
