www.createspace/books and amazon books. 2/9/2018, 11:11at 11:11
Shamanism, an ancient
spiritual practice, presents the worldview of Oneness; the interconnection of
the whole, and the Vision and practice that results in initiation and
transformation for humanity and the Earth.
Healing begins within, healing the whole by healing Soul loss, trauma,
and the anxiety caused by living the illusion of today’s worldview. Shaman’s have Vision and can see beyond
ordinary life. Creating Sacred Space,
they guide you on a journey into the Heart; illuminating, the Shadow world you
are living in, resulting in transfiguration and evolution. We are more than
just this physical body, we are spiritual beings having a physical
experience. When we sit still and
meditate, or go on a vision quest, we can slow our thoughts and change the focus
of our consciousness to get back in touch with our true selves. When we place our attention and consciousness
on the heart center then we begin to see with eyes of the Heart. This work is a Message of the Light with the
intention of shining light on the necessity to bring together contemporary and
ancient healing practices at this critical time in Earth’s history; to change
the story from one of imbalance and entropy, to one of healing, transformation,
and evolution.
The Shaman first creates
sacred space where the healing is to take place by cleansing it with smoke from
the herbs, drawing a circle of protection, and calling in the sacred powers of
the four directions, asking for guidance during the healing. This transforms
the space into a circle containing the wholeness of the Universe and all of the
Medicine helpers in the visible and invisible worlds. The Drum, rattle, vision
quest, and medicine song help the Shaman enter spiritual realms and make direct
contact with the powers that will reveal the cure. The Shaman restores balance by listening to
the inner instructions and depends on Vision to see beyond the illness or
imbalance, beyond ordinary reality. Working with the Medicine Wheel and years
of personal spiritual visions builds relationships and communication with
spirit animals, guides, and our inner guide. It is these experiences that form the
inner-connectedness of life from which we draw most of our medicine power. Shamanism is based on experience, a calling
received through vision that requires commitment, willingness to answer the
call, and a passion to help heal suffering humanity. This book is an inspired
work to illuminate the ancient practice of Shamanism to bring clarity and
understanding of the practice and its power to heal in our contemporary world.
