Shaman's Time
When I was first learning the practices of the Q’ero shaman of Peru, I had no idea I was also experiencing a gateway to stepping outside of time. Shamans see the world as alive … that everything is vibrating with life. But vibration (or movement) is just part of the equation. Frequency (the speed at which these vibrations occur) is also where the shaman works, changing or altering the energy of these vibrational patterns. The linear view of time holds that past trauma causes

Are you just wired that way?
One of my kids called me a couple of weeks ago and asked, “Mom, how do I stop my negative thoughts?" And, “Mom, it seems like when I think them, they start to happen. Is that true?” What amazing questions. Maybe you’ve had that same feeling…like you just can’t shake negative thoughts, worry, anxiety or even despair about the future. I started my journey years ago studying Silva Mind Systems and later Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP). Both of these modalities are about unders

Source, syntropy and the power of time
In an earlier post, I explored how differently ancient cultures viewed time – not only as a “god”… but the key supreme deity. Only in modern western physics has time become part of a mathematical framework. To understand how time became a mathematical equation we actually have to take a step back to when God separated the waters above and the firmament from the waters below, and created the sun and moon, day and night…. And time began. We have to go to the book of Genesis in

The energy of plants
Did you know that if you have a deep soul connection with one plant, you have access to all plants? This is important for the shaman because through your “gate keeper” plant, you have access to the healing energy of the whole plant kingdom. Say, for example, you have an affinity for sage. You love it, you use it all the time for cleansing, maybe you even grow it, or create art with it like a good friend of mine does. Because of that connection, sage is your plant ally and can

The Mystery of Time
I remember distinctly the moment I first fell in love with the mystery of time. My heart was pounding at the end of the classic H.G. Wells film The Time Machine. The inventor had just pulled the machine from his workshop into the garden, so that as he hurtled into the future, he would be in the perfect place to be able to create a new destiny for humans. I was hooked into the mystery and wonder of time. And time travel fascinates not just me…the idea has captured the imaginat

Amazing remembering…. and joyful forgetting
The shamanic path is a path of remembering. I’m sure you have had one of those “remembering” moments. A visceral full body Aha, YES! Mine happened last week in the most unexpected way. I’ve been participating in a series of amazing online blessing ceremonies that take place about once a week or so. On this particular day, I was traveling, and when it was time for the blessing, I pulled off the road and stopped at a local park. I’d just driven through the mountains with lots
