Shamanic Journeying Lessons 101
Last night, I hosted an informal gathering to talk to those interested in learning about shamanism. As I watched and heard their questions, I thought back to when I was at my first shamanic workshop. Back then, shamanism seemed so out of reach – a sacred and ancient knowledge that only those who lived in an indigenous tribe were privilege to. But those who have this knowledge have begun to share it with those outside the tribe. The need for spiritual growth now outweighs the need for cultural privacy.
What amazed me at my first shamanic workshop was that everyone learned how to shamanic journey. Granted some better than others, but everyone did very well. It made me realize that connecting to the spirit realm is a natural gift – no one is special because they practice shamanism. However, some people are definitely called to shamanism with an intensity that they don’t even understand – at least at first.
So, I hope that some of them will participate in workshops or classes to learn to shamanic journey. And that a few will even practice it for a lifetime. Once they experience the connection to nature, spirits and the divine, and especially when they start to heal, they will believe in miracles. And we are all entitled to miracles.
Blessed journeys!
