Practical Shamanism

One of the best uses of our psychic abilities isn't so much about seeing the world around us, but navigating the world within. We can use our gifts to track what's going on with ourselves on the subtle levels. I often find for myself and my clients that unfavorable results are the result of an adversarial relationship between different parts of the self. We can learn to be a wise mediator such that we come into a collaboration between our various aspects. In the modern era, we need all of our chakras at full functionality and playing for the same team.

I've long applied this work to keeping my fight or flight system baseline in a calm place. More recently, I've started using this approach to have a talk with my brain about re-wiring chronic pain circuits that are related to a long-ago injury from which the tissue damage has healed.

Having our lives bring experiences of pleasure and delight is utterly necessary to feeling like life is a gift instead of something heavy to be gotten through. Yet, often we are distracted and derailed from things that would bring authentic pleasure at a human level, to our unique soul, or to both. I talk vulnerably about ways I activate biological pleasure with thinking and with the things I consume and my journey to wrangle that gently into more moderation to free up space for the kinds of pleasure that leave me fulfilled. Whether this is a new concept or something you're ready to dive deeper into, I hope there's something meaningful here for you.

I'd like to make a case for optimism and hope about the future of humanity and the planet, even amid the loud, complicated times we're living in. I'm not attempting to erase or disregard the gulf between a needs met, balanced, and sustainable world and where we are today. But I am heartened when I look at the speed at which certain important things are changing for the better.

Take apart times can be complex and that's certainly what we're living in now. Yet, there are also so many old souls who incarnated with a desire to get in the game of moving the world through its growing pains to a more elegant place. You may or may not agree, but I'd invite you not to absorb your worldview by osmosis because our brains are good at working with dramatic stories and not so much with statistics.

Some of our best mindfulness teachers live mindfulness throughout their waking hours. It gives them a massive level of mastery and much wisdom to share. However, I found that when I studied what they offered, my head got loud about how I wasn't being mindful enough of the day. In this podcast, I explore the possibility that you could find a level that was enough mindfulness if you have a fundamental level of emotional and mental health combined with a system for getting present with yourself at regular intervals. I also talk about some of the warning signs that we have dipped below the level of "enough" mindfulness when our minds go down pathways that become problematic and create a stress feedback loop.

In this podcast I share some of the stories about women I've witnessed and supported in calling in their baby in a way that aligns for them, both on a human level as well as a soul level. I also talk about working on the soul level with women who've chosen not to have a baby at a given moment. Spoiler: free choice is sacred and choosing not to complete a pregnancy doesn't cause harm to the soul that was considering coming in. And, for those who want to have babies, I share how shamanic work can help. Clearing past life trauma proactively will make for an easier pregnancy, for example.

Initiation of connection is something that is both a tendency and a skill. Sadly, people sometimes keep score of initiation directed towards them. They make the receiving of phone calls, text messages, or invitations mean something about whether they are loved, valued, and respected. I would offer that it's useful to recognize whether you are someone who is more likely to initiate or respond to someone else's invitation to engage. Furthermore, once you see where you stand, it can be valuable to override your default to create a wider range of experiences. If you initiate and plan a lot, it could be fun to see what it's like to just enjoy someone else's vision. Or, if you don't initiate, you might find doing so allows you to enjoy relating with someone who is also not apt to invite but who responds happily when invited. Likewise, when it comes to getting messages from spirit, when you initiate by engaging, the richness of what you receive increases exponentially.

I share a shamanic framework from my guides for restoring personal power and reconnecting it to your voice. We look at learned helplessness, how it forms, and why it can make the open door feel closed. From there, I walk through power retrieval to call back the parts of you that stepped aside to keep the peace, and how to end the "chakra argument" that leaks energy.

I also show how to reconnect power to voice so your words land cleanly, including how to notice when someone is receptive vs. unavailable. You'll hear practical context from my chakra work, simple ways to begin on your own, and options to go deeper with my help.

Despite many traditional cultures not having the concept of past lives, modern people interested in soul healing have found this to be a potent sort of work for health and freedom. In this podcast, I share an overview of how past lives impact us and some tips for working with them on their own.

I also explore this concept in my book, "Practical Shamanism: A Guide for Walking in Both Worlds". https://handsoverheart.com/store/books/
