Speaking Spirit

Many spiritual systems have the idea that everything is interconnected. The Web of Wyrd, Indra's Net, the tapestry woven by the fates. How does this relate to the concepts of Karma and the butterfly effect?

Shamanic teacher, John Moore, explores how karma works immediately - not just as some storehouse of bad deeds to be weighed at some later time. Our thoughts and actions have a ripple effect (the butterfly effect) along with the web of existence.

In this model, spiritual and physical reality cannot be separated.

In this episode of the podcast, we are talking about shamanic healing for chronic illness. John Moore is a shamanic healer from Maine who has been practicing shamanism for many years, and he has a lot of experience with helping people heal their chronic illnesses. In this episode, John explains how shamans heal, and why shamanic healing can be so beneficial for people with chronic illnesses. He also talks about how to find a good shamanic healer, and what to expect during a shamanic healing session. If you are interested in learning more about shamanic healing, this episode is definitely worth listening to!

Shamanism is a practice that involves using shamanic techniques to enter into an altered state of consciousness in order to interact with the spirit world. Shamans believe that everything in the universe is connected and that illness is caused by a disruption in this connection. In order to heal someone, shamans work to restore balance and harmony within their clients.

Shamanic healing is not a replacement for medical care, medicine, or therapy. Instead, John describes how shamanism works hand in hand with everything else one is doing to improve their health outcomes.

With chronic illness, one really needs to find a shamanic practitioner they trust and who they can work with over time.

What if you could talk to the Animals like Dr. Doolittle?

This episode's guest, Jody Crotty (jodycrotty.com), does just that and teaches us that the animals around us have important messages to share if we just pay attention. Jody is a Certified Soul Level Animal Communicator® who offers intuitive Animal Communication sessions. She works with animals alive and those in spirit.

Jody has just released a Children's book titled Do You Talk with Animals. In his book, animals share heartfelt symbols with a girl, showing her about connecting with her intuition through what she sees, hears, feels, and knows about the world around her. This sweet and heartfelt book about animal communication and intuition will delight children and adults for years to come.

Host, shamanic teacher John Moore, talks to Jody about animal communication and the lessons of interconnectedness that animals have for us.

In this episode, John talks about what is required to master any skill, and what holds most people back from Mastery.

Shamanic teacher and spiritual coach, John Moore, was born with birth defects and doctors told his parents he'd never walk. He was able to overcome his limitations and not only walk but get a black belt in martial arts. In school, testing said he wasn't good at writing, and later went on to be a published author.

John shares practical tips on what it takes to "master" anything important to you. Mastery doesn't necessarily mean being the best in the world at something, but getting to a high level of skill.

It's time to drop your excuses!

It's a new year and many people have resolutions to get healthier. Research shows that most resolutions do not last very long. The reason is that it can be difficult to create new habits.

There are a few things one can do that have proven to help create new habits.

Shamanic teacher and coach, John Moore, uses creating a meditation practice as an example to give real-world strategies for creating new healthy habits.

Spiritual egotism is rampant today with the commercialization of everything. Some self-appointed gatekeepers want to lock people out of their chosen paths to spiritual healing.

As well-intentioned as they may be, their efforts are frequently problematic and not framed by good information.

Shamanic teacher, John Moore offers an alternative way to think about cultural appropriation and a way to approach people who are on a spiritual path. There is a way to include people spiritually, but not exploit or disrespect cultures.

John calls for more connection and less separation. Spiritually we are all the same, and all connected.

Life is hard enough without adding the global pandemic. How do we support each other's spiritual journey with less judgment and less egotism?

If we can predict the future, what does that mean for free will? Is everything that's going to happen to us predetermined already, or can we change our future?

Maine-based shamanic teacher and host, John Moore discuss the topic of divination and how it relates both to manifestation and free will.

Can we predict the future and, if so, why don't psychics always predict the lottery numbers? Can we intervene with our free will to change the probable future?

What about parallel universes and decisions we make?

Shamanic journeys and astral projection are also related to phenomena like lucid dreaming. Shamans are trained to use altered states of consciousness to travel in the astral body for healing and other purposes.

Shamanic teacher, John Moore, first discusses models of humans from physical bodies to the etheric body and astral bodies. There are different models in other forms of esotericism He discusses his early spontaneous out-of-body experiences and learning shamanic journeying.

He compares astral projection to shamanic middle world soul travel. The middle world of shamanism is where most people wind up when they astral project. The astral plane is actually a number of subtle worlds that a shamanic practitioner can access.

In shamanism, a practitioner enters into trance to have an out-of-body experience of the astral realm. Shamans, however, have a great deal of control over the subtle body during a spiritual journey. While there are different forms of soul travel, shamans have been doing what some people call astral travel for thousands of years.

As a spiritual teacher, John recommends at least an intro to shamanism course for those interested iin astral projection. This offers a means of learning safe astral travel, as well as some healing practices.

John welcomes guest Heather Webster of Heather Webster Wellness on the show to talk about connection to self and connection to nature.

Heather Webster is an educator, a health coach, Mindful Outdoor Guide, and a lifelong learner. She supports women to live a fulfilling healthy radiant life that aligns with their purpose. 

Heather uses a holistic journey approach to look at the individual as a whole, so women can find radical self-love, self-confidence, and a stronger connection to their spirit and self, to reach their wildest dreams and find joy in the everyday.

John and Heather discuss the way that many people feel disconnected from themselves, from others, and from nature. They talk about health, the effect of social media, mindfulness, and belief.

How do we begin to feel more connected? What are some of the healing powers of nature? How does intuition and belief relate to manifestation?
