Archetypal energies are at the core of the Shamans world. Deeply intertwined with the collective, the archetypes bridge the gap between that which can be spoken of with ease and the world that is beyond words. In this episode I offer a simple story from my own experience involving manifestation and briefly touching on a shamanic method of shifting awareness. This illustrates the perceptual states of the shaman in an introductory way.
We will also visit the lagoon of the Jaguar to discover what is up for you. Once we understand what is up, you will have an accessible method to shift this energy. This energy can hide from you in day to day life, many people are unaware of the ways in which these energies manifest in their lives. Most go throughout life without any idea of how these energies affect them, but once their lessons are learned, life must manifest in a new way. First, you must have the courage to face these energies. To look beyond the surface and stare yourself squarely in the eye with the utmost level of honesty. When I invoke the winds of the West a portion of my prayer asks, “Jaguar, show me your way of peace, your way of impeccability, teach me to walk fearlessly between the visible and invisible worlds.” When you have the courage needed to do this exercise with integrity, may Jaguar be with you to guide you through the parts of yourself that your human eyes cannot see.
