The God Shot

In my podcasts, and in person, I often talk about the “God Shot”. We all want them and some of us have them. But what is a God Shot? I think it is when you have a spiritual experience so profound it affects, or can affect, the very underpinnings of our present lives.  God Shots certainly help to catapult us to a deeper and more profound relationship to Spirit, or at least it can.

Some of us have had the luxury to travel for spiritual workshops. Some of us are fortunate enough to have great workshops in the places we live. The workshops, ceremonies, etc. often bring us closer to the divine. The question then is; what do we do after? Integration of our experiences is important, but how do we do that? Another aspect of the God Shot is to work with it. We are invited to be in the presence of the Divine but how do we stay with the Divine? [Read more…]

The Turning of the Wheel

Happy New Year!The Turning of the Wheel

How do you mark the Turning of the Wheel? Is it an occasion for you? Or perhaps you celebrate the Old Ways and November 1 is your New Year. However you mark it, can be as unique as each pair of eyes reading these words.

Some years, I use the Medicine Wheel as a tool for review, tracing and tracking any patterns I can see. Patterns are not always recognizable at first glance, which is why I like to use a visual tool. Some years, I do no review at all. For me it depends, on whether my journey was more personal, or more community orientated.

Last year (2016) I used my Medicine Wheel to trace and track my journey. I had many personal experiences, some of which left me bereaved and bereft, and one, left me for dead. My first journey was to Centre to merge with my Authentic self, once merged I am less likely blind to my own masks and hiding places. After merging, I traveled to the World Tree, walking slowing around the trunk, until I felt pulled to a particular direction. I allow myself to trust my intuition. My second journey was to South, my weary warrior self. [Read more…]

Reiki Shamanism

Shaman's Way Almost 25 years ago, I received my first degree in Usui Reiki. It was, to me, and my friends, absolutely unheard of. To achieve your Master level, the cost was still $10,000. Reiki has certainly come a very long way, inspiring a whole new genre of healers. I know many people, in and out of, my shamanic world, who are practitioners, and some, are also, teachers of Reiki.

My first introduction to Reiki, was just before I was introduced to Shamanism. At the time I experienced Reiki, I knew it was going to be the “second” part of my three pieces I needed to be “who I was meant to be”. If only it had all been that simple… but I am getting ahead of myself. My first experience receiving a Reiki treatment, was not at all a pleasant one. I remember it clearly, I received it on the Friday night of the weekend course. After the treatment, [Read more…]

How to do Shamanic Journeys

Mysterious tunnel to the lightWelcome to your first shamanic journey!

Journey work is one of the most fundamental tools in the shaman’s toolkit. While the method of doing journey work is quite straight forward, it can be, for some, a challenge to do. One of the biggest things I can recommend is practice. If  you are having trouble getting into the journey, practice and it’ll come. And if you slide right in like a fish in water, practice as it’ll only allow you to discover more!

What you will need to get started:

  1. A comfortable place to lay down.
  2. A cover for your eyes.
  3. A time where you will not be disturbed.
  4. A drum beat to journey to (if you don’t have a drummer, download these free drumming tracks).

I would recommend that if you have animals you may want to lock them out of the space where you will practice your journey work. The reason for this is they may disturb you and bring you out of the state. It can be quite disorientating to be quickly pulled out of an altered state. [Read more…]
