In this week’s podcast Renee and Sandra talk about how on a spiritual level we can keep doing our work to expand and evolve. But if we are in a state of fear and contracting then we are suppressing all the spiritual energy we learned how to raise and this puts an amazing amount of stress on our bodies and nervous system when we are trying to expand and contract at the same time. Is this something you can relate to in your own life?

Join this powerful show as Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau talk about how we can stand strong and let our energy flow like the wind and the river of life and feel empowered in this time of change as we choose to leave a state of fear and contraction.  Follow Us @theshamanscave

In chaotic and challenging times trust is our most powerful tool and the one we often have the hardest time embracing. When things are not going well we want to blame, we want to withdraw, we feel victim to the forces of life. But this is part of starting any initiation. There needs to be a breakdown of trust and all we can count on as we enter a time of death and rebirth. But once you get further on the journey you remember the innate strength and resilience that has gotten you through all the challenges in your life.

Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman  in this powerful show as they inspire you to dig deep and remember the truth that you are strong and resilient and to trust that your own strength will carry you through such a powerful time of change.

In nature we have trees that who feed so many beings – humans, birds, insects, all that lives on the earth and air. And from a shamanic point of view these trees feel honored when we eat and feel nurtured from their fruits. But of course, then comes a cycle of regeneration of the silent process of going within to regenerate and become nourished again to have the strength to
bloom in the spring and summer.

This the most basic explanation of the cycle of life of the times when we grow horizontally and have the energy to give to others then shift into a time when we need to go within to our inner world to put our roots deep into the earth to draw up nurturance and raise our branches to the sky to draw down regenerative energy from the divine worlds.

Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau as they speak about this important topic and inspire you to look at how to balance your cycles so you are living in a way where you feel fully nurtured before you offer help to others and the planet.

Death is a cycle of nature. We die with every change that happens to us in life. Due to so many illnesses circulating our over populated planet we are seeing death effect us all on a personal level. Loved ones and friends are dying at what feels untimely. No one is completely protected from the effects of toxins and the viruses and bacteria causing so much illness.

Our generation is seeing deaths at a rate that makes us wake up to the preciousness of life and how we need to care for ourselves and our loved ones. Self care is so important right now. And being responsible for taking care of your affairs is so important as we are seeing the devastating impact on loved ones and families who are left with a legal mess. We have so many friends in this position.

Renee and Sandra decided to take on this topic as Sandra is hearing about an alarming number of her students and acquaintances that are being left with closing down a loved ones life and they don’t even know where to start. In the times we are living in we need to learn how to age responsibility by taking care of ourselves and our affairs. Join us in this powerful show!

In a lot of spiritual traditions gossip is a way to make people feel that they are superior to others who have made a misstep or who are not behaving in an ethical manner. It is true it is up to our communities to let people know when there are unethical teachers who are hurting others instead of truly teaching ethically from a place where they have done a lot of personal work to tame and transmute their shadow.

When we can do this we end up creating unity which is so needed today. Division is separating all of us from joining together from a place of power. Join Renee and Sandra as they speak about the importance of lifting people up instead of creating more division in a divisive world. Join us as we celebrate life and unity!

If there is one thing that many people understand all over the world is that we have entered a time of true chaos where we our reality is being shaken up. There are all kind of possible outcomes that can happen and no one is privy with the knowledge to know where the creative forces of the universe are leading us too.

Are you taking on too much by reading about every international chaotic event instead of finding practices that keep you centered and embodied so you can count on your body’s and heart’s wisdom now?

Join Renee and Sandra as they explore the topic of overwhelm and share some of their favorite tools they use in their spiritual practices to stay centered.

In this extremely relevant show to the times we are living in, Renee and Sandra speak about an article in the New York Times where a psychologist talked about letting go of the need to forgive people who abused you but instead have compassion for what made them behave in such a destructive way.
It is an interesting concept to think about today where people try to force forgiveness. Forgiveness can’t be forced as it comes only at the right time when we have come to a new place in our life.
Join Renee and Sandra as they explore the power of compassion in this show filled with a lot of old time wisdom.

Sandra went to see the new Dylan movie which reminded her how tight the community was in the 1960s, and how they stood together during challenging times and did not sit down but connected and demonstrated.

Today it seems like the spiritual community is more disconnected from each other and still have some work to do to transcend the ego and shadow states that want us to divide and use blaming behavior.

Join Sandra and Renee for this important show on the need for the spiritual community to come together and stand together in order to help to make lasting changes for one’s personal life and community.

Sandra started this show by leading an invocation to congratulate Renee on the release of her new book A Pilgrim’s Guide to Walking Wisdom 11:11 Insights.

To write a book is such a creative act that comes from one soul. And Renee brought us a beautiful book with insights and tools to help us walk forward during a time of chaos.

Join Renee and Sandra as they not only talk about Renee’s book but learning about the power of community and walking each other home.

At at time on the planet when looking youthful and finding ways to live longer dominate our news and culture an entire part of our population is not being honored for the life that have led and what they contributed over their lifetime. We tend to compare how we are aging to what we see in the news and to others who we know.

The truth is we all have our natural cycle of life and aging is a part of life as we are Nature and everything in Nature grows old and dies. How do we follow our own internal cycle of aging and find ways to make this time of life meaningful and joyful instead of something to deny?

Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau as they address this powerful topic that so many people are focusing on in their own cycles of life right now.
