Shamanistic Journey

Shamanism, a way of life in the search for answers, healing and helping others. To me, it's being able to walk in two worlds and working with those from other worlds to help restore balance within and to help others understand. My journeys are done through self hypnosis or meditation without the use of entheogens.

The lessons that have been given me through the ULC Seminary have been rich and rewarding on this path I walk. Until this course, I thought of a Shaman as being only a healer. One who would walk into the next world

to seek and retrieve pieces or would do ceremonies in this world to help others. Some of the lessons provided where like a refresher course, but some went much deeper.

I feel that by taking this course I have been able to grasp an even bigger picture of this world and the other worlds that I see everyday and visit at other times. I have been chosen by the spirit, and while I have been studying on my own for years, I still know that I have a long way to go.

Working with the seven principles of Shamanism was truly a learning experience for me. They seem in fact to be so simple and in reality they are. It goes to show that today's society is caught up in the fast lane and has no time to slow down and feel what is really going on around them. Even myself, forget this from time to time.

When beginning this course I also had no idea that it would really show me that a Shaman is also a religious figure. I mean I knew about the spirituality involved, but I wasn't really aware of the fact that they are considered religious leaders.

I have also found that a lot of the healing techniques are things that I have done for years without ever realizing that they are a part of Shamanism. I have done energy work for years, being a Reiki Master and

learning to deal with the chakras, color therapy, and my favorite, working with crystals. I have also done Qigong, hypnosis, and I work with herbs.

In conclusion I think I feel that this course came to me to teach me to re-focus on life. It has brought about a change and has drawn it all in to me with wide eyed amazement. I know now, more than ever that my

journey down this path will continue.

Live, laugh and love,
