The 7 Keys to Accessing Shamanic Consciousness: 1. Empowerment 2. Divination 3. Psychopomp 4. Weather Working 5. Hunting Magic 6. Shamanic Healing 7. Shamanic States of Consciousness and the Technology of Transcendence Shamans still exist in some form in every culture on the planet, including our own modernized Western world. Engaging with the shamanic tradition is not about cultural appropriation or ripping off the  spirituality of any indigenous peoples. We all come from indigenous ancestors if we go back far enough, and they all had great shamans. Thus, the shamanic path is one of our birthrights and the ancestral precursor of all of our  spiritual and religious traditions . In the Western world, when we hear the word shamanism, many of us think of a costumed tribal person dancing around a fire in the dark, involved in some sort of mysterious ritual, accompanied by drum beats and singing. But inside that costume and ritual there is a woman or a man with a...

Meaning of Shamanic Medicine Wheel

Image
The Medicine Wheel of the Native Americans is symbolic of their spirituality and of the unique, individual ways we go to find our path – a journey of truth, harmony and peace. It is the symbol of the wheel of life, a never ending circle, life without end, forever evolving and bringing new lessons. The Earth walk is built on the understanding that every creature must stand on every spoke of the great wheel of life numerous times to know those truths. and that all directions are to be honoured and respected. Until one has walked in others’ moccasins, or stood on their spokes of the wheel, they will never truly know their hearts. The medicine wheel helps us with our ‘vision’, to see where exactly we are and in which areas we need to develop in order to realise and become our potentials. It shows us that we are ALL connected and shows us the intricacies of the interwoven threads of life and what our part in it all is. It aids us understanding that without our place in the tapestry ...

5 Easy Ways To Connect With Your Spirit Animal

Image
In my experience, there are 3 major universal types of animal messengers we may encounter in our daily lives. These are commonly referred to as  power animals, spirit animals, and shadow animals .  I love to use the following analogy to help people to better understand the roles of animal messengers in our lives. If life is a book; then our  power animal  is the entire volume, the  spirit animal  is a chapter and the  shadow animal  represents the discourse encountered throughout the storyline. When it comes to finding our spirit animals, there are no hard and fast rules as to how many we have and how we obtain them. They are purely an individual exploration and a deeply personal practice. Here are  5 simple ways  you can connect with your current spirit animal. 1.    Set an intention Animal spirits are messengers for the now - they come and go throughout our lives to consciously remind us of what it...

Power Animals - Shamanic Journey : Animal Spirit Guide In the shamanic belief everything is alive and carries with it power and wisdom. Power animals are an essential component of shamanic practice. They are the helping spirit which add to the power of the shaman and are essential for success in any venture undertaken by the shaman.

The Kabbalic Code : The Magic of 137

Image
The Kabbalic Code : The Magic of 137 Not too long ago, I was learning with Kabbalist Rav Berg at his home. We discussed the most important number in all of physics. That number is 137. 137 is the biggest mystery and most important number  in all of science. Without question. 137 refers to electrons and the odds of an electron absorbing a single photon. Or in simple Kabbalah language, it’s about Vessel and Light, or the physical body of man and his ability to ignite the Light from his soul and arouse the Light in the extraordinary  99% reality so that it shines in our plain, ordinary world. Please do not worry if you don’t understand the science and physics associated with the number 137 (also known as the  fine structure constant ). That’s not what is important in this article. And by the way, most physicists don’t understand it either. But they do admit and know that it’s the most important number in the universe.You can  google  it later if ...

The ‘four’ strong signs of a spiritually enlightened being

Author: Udayan Bakshi  Alchemy of Eternity The ‘four’ strong signs of a spiritually enlightened being. Today as if there is a flood, a flood of spiritual Gurus, spiritual coaches, spiritual experts, apart from the ever growing industry of the spiritual Baba(s) & Maa(s). And this is an indication that the society or the masses are desperate in seeking something. Something good of course! The main ingredient of any movement in this universe – whether good or bad, is ‘Faith’. If I have faith in something, what so ever it may be, I will certainly succeed in that endeavor. And that is the only reason, I really appreciate the mushrooming of the spiritual industry – ‘something’ which is doing ‘some’ good to someone. As if the humanity is rising from a deep slumber of restlessness to a wakeful state. This is the first step. The second step is to raise the consciousness to a level, where these ‘mediatory concept’ of Spiritual-Coaches etc are no more needed. A ch...
