Learning Shamanism

 Hello fellow humans. It has been nearly a year since I last opened up my laptop to write something in this little blog. And what a year! In January 2020 the biggest and most heinous scam ever perpetrated on humanity began in China and quickly enveloped the entire globe. Now at the end of June 2021 all the world's politicians are still holding their citizens prisoner with a blatant psy ops campaign designed to scare people into accepting (with great relish) a particularly nasty experimental gene "therapy" that is the beginning of Trans-humanism and The Great Reset. So, in just 18 months, the Tech and Pharma cartel that control all the world's politicians have created a totalitarian dystopia - where proclaiming to be a "natural" human with a healthy immune system is frowned upon and actively discouraged by all mainstream media outlets and the big tech social media platforms - especially Facebook and You Tube. Animism and the Shamanic view of reality is totall...

Recapitulation is something I learned from Rhonda McCrimmon at the Centre For Shamanism. It is a way of forgiving yourself for things that you may regret or make you feel guilty - a way to let go of the past and move on with your life. As don Juan would say "You have to erase your personal history to become a warrior". A warrior must be totally aware and we can only be totally aware when we live completely in the present moment. A shaman is a spiritual warrior - he is not "fighting" with anybody or anything, he is in a battle with ignorance and indulgence and habits. The warrior seeks only Truth. I will let Rhonda tell you about Recapitulation in her own words - you can download a pdf from the Resources section of her website. www.centreforshamanism.com   "One of the things I recommend for my clients and one of my own weekly practises is Recapitulation.  The purpose of recapitulation is to take back your personal power that was lost during unpleasant or traumat...

I haven't been posting much lately because I have been learning a new (to me) form of meditation. It is called The Warriors Meditation which is part of a spiritual system developed by Martial Arts expert and healer Richard L Haight and known as Total Embodiment Meditation. This is a way of developing the Total Awareness of an ancient warrior or hunter gatherer and it is pretty amazing. I have also just finished reading a very interesting book called "The Shaman Within" - A Physicist's Guide to the Deeper Dimensions of Your Life, the Universe, and Everything by Claude Poncelet, PhD who is a Belgian physicist living and working in the USA. He is also a shamanic practitioner and teacher who appears to have an amazing talent for "shape shifting". I would say that this is not a book for the absolute novice. It is based around Core Shamanism and he does quote a few famous teachers of Core Shamanism but he has also done some ground work with indigenous peoples. Th...

The Medicine Bag is a small bag that a Shaman would traditionally wear around his or her neck. It is traditionally made from deer skin (though nowadays people use cotton or felt instead if they have strong views about using animal skin). The Shaman keeps small "sacred" objects in the Medicine Bag for many different reasons - ritual, ceremony and omen walking to name a few. The Medicine Bag is also a new book by don Jose Ruiz. Don Jose is the second son of don Miguel Ruiz' (The Four Agreements) three sons, he was raised to be a Shaman in the Toltec tradition and has remarkable wisdom for such a young man. Don Jose is a very flamboyant character (you can find him talking on YouTube) with his long hair and his love of art and music. I feel that he is a very loving person and he has a kind of feline femininity about him. The book is an easy read and a veritable treasure trove of information for the novice shamanic person or the more experienced practitioner who wants to learn...

As I have said before - shamanism is not just about taking journeys into non ordinary reality. We humans have to live in the material world that we are born into and for most of us in the "Western" world that is not a particularly painful experience. Although we, as a society, have distanced and alienated ourselves from the Natural World and have become reliant on technology - we can still live comfortable lives for the most part. Yes, we do have stress and there are huge issues around pollution, consumerism and human over population. And we have recently been subjected to "the politics of fear" fuelled by media hype and governmental dishonesty concerning the so called Covid-19 "pandemic". As you may have gathered already - I am a total sceptic when it comes to all this corona virus nonsense. The common cold is quite often caused by a "corona virus", which is why the government testing kits are useless - they show everybody who has had a cold in ...
