More about anger

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

Do you feel an anger welling within you sometimes, a red energy in thought and heart and belly; a tightening of the jaw as you try to stuff it? This is precious fuel.

Have you witnessed injustice, been hurt by others, betrayed, let down? Use this fuel to make your life better, to take action that heals the rift, creates a better world.

Lashing out and hurting other just spreads the anger like a contagious disease until you feel separate and wounded and still angry! Fuel your creative work, fuel your physical activity and get your body fit. Fuel your actions with your passion to reweave the web of life and make things better for yourself and all others.

Do not use your anger to hurt, to belittle, to create chaos. Your actions, words and the energy you radiate into the world have consequences, so choose wisely.

Learn to manage the powerful energy of anger, to channel it to fuel a better world, a better life, a just and safe and healthy planet for all beings!

Healing fear

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

We (nature and tree spirits) are the observers. We observe by sensing your energy without judgment. We feel when you are anxious, when you are sad or grieving. We feel your joy, your buoyancy, and delight. We also feel your fear.

When many of you feel and tap into a widespread fear vibration, it chokes off your connection to the earth energy and heavenly light energy that sustains life. It affects all living things around you; it hurts you.

Collective fear damages the web of all things. It creates an ugly rift in the beautiful patterns that are meant to be. It can hollow you out.

Get to know your personal fear. Does it come from outside or inside of you? Where do you feel it in your body? What sensations are created in your body?

Have others planted this fear in you for their own agenda? Does it resonate with your existing worries and those of your family?  Do your thoughts and beliefs support this fear? Are they true?  Examine them!

Slowly begin to shift to more loving peaceful thoughts and beliefs, more supportive of the harmonious life you wish to live.  Find the tiniest threads each day of gratitude, of satisfaction, of  contentment and follow them back to the calm at your center.

As you shift from fear to peace you reweave the web of all things. Those around you will feel the shift to a more peaceful vibration as well.

The great release

Once again we come to the time of letting go, the great release as the leaves we’ve held onto for so long this year are finally relieved of duty. For a brief time they blaze with breathtaking color. Let your eyes take in and enjoy our gorgeous color! Soon enough they become the soil at our feet they as they wither and brown and decay. Next year’s plant food.

Now through the bare bones of our winter branches we have a chance to see feel and know the underlying structure beneath the summer show. We see what is rooted, what endures from year to year, through the cold months as well as the warm, not just the shimmering temporary summer show.

You too have an underlying structure. You are a web of invisible energy, permeating the physical body. This is the structure on which your life and body are built. Your energy endures from lifetime to lifetime without end.

When you keep your subtle energy flowing, healthy, and vibrant your life pulses with health and glows with vitality.

Dissolve into all that is

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

It is peak high summer. Everything is alive and growing! Take time to allow yourself to be one with the sky – the blue dome, the trees, the grasses, the solid earth.

Summer sky

Even for a few minutes, know and feel yourself as energy, as a shifting almost fluid being. Allow the awareness of yourself to dissolve into all that is. In this way you will feel one and become one with the entire universe.

Your ego won’t like this much! Give it a little treat and send it to rest somewhere close by under a shady tree.

When you learn to dissolve and re-form, you learn that you are in everything and everything is in you.  And by everything, I mean All That Is.

When you know this in every cell of your body – every particle of energy that makes you up – you will never feel separate again.

What is real?

Stop awhile under my cool umbrella of shimmering leaves. Let the buzzing cicada lull you to rest. Feel my strong loving energy envelop you with welcome. To feel this you must release your grip on the shiny thing in your hand. The thing you hunch over and stare at hour after hour.

Walnut tree bark and leaves

What is real? The world contained in your mesmerizing little object, or the root and bark, leaf soil and seeds that make up my existence? Is it the shade shifting on the summer grass?

What is real?  Is it the breeze puffing its cooling breath across your body, the solid earth beneath your feel, supporting you and all you’ve done since before your birth; the moon and stars in the night sky? Is it the breath that rises and falls through your body like waves at the seashore?

What is real? The world inside your head or the world of your senses? What is real? The feelings and emotions that roll through you or the stuff of your imagination?

My dear ones, release your hold on the glowing screen from time to time and tune your senses to other frequencies of what you call reality. They will strike a deep chord within you, for you will remember once again the wonder of being a child. You will feel real again!

Communications network

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

There is an energetic network connecting all cottonwoods on this continent. Yes, we communicate in our way. News travels fast. Our news traveling through energetic vibrations.

When lightning strikes, when weather conditions shift, when seasons change, when the vibrations and frequencies of human activity and emotion affect our physical tree selves, all in our network know it and feel it.

Community of Cottonwoods

You may remark at the similarity between our ancient network and your invisible web, the internet.

What you call internet is a reflection of the invisible network of bonds that have existed between all members of a species, all humans, all cottonwoods, and if you tune in closely enough, all living creatures since before recorded time.

Everything connects to everything else.

These energetic bonds or cords enable psychic phenomena – A mother knowing when her child is in difficulty even though miles separate them; a sensitive person knowing and feeling the emotions of others; somehow being at the right place at the right time when you are needed.

Imagine in your mind’s eye, each person in your family, neighborhood, town, and state. Visualize them connected with golden threads to every other person. Imagine this for every plant, every tuft of grass, connected to all other living things with threads of energy and communication.

Those among you sensitive enough will know and feel the truth of this.

Try an experiment. Tune into one you’ve had problems with and send peaceful thoughts and friendly thoughts if you can. (Just like sending “web mail”) See if the feeling between you is different next time you meet. In a sense, nothing is secret because of your connecting cords

Remember, since all creatures are interconnected, your feeling and thoughts affect all others if they know it or not. Choose to feel the best you can. If you feel poorly, ask for help in clearing that so you can feel better, even a little bit. Each act of healing no matter how tiny how seemingly insignificant creates a more peaceful world.

You are a hub in a magnificent network! You matter! Your feeling and thoughts have incredible power!

What do you choose to radiate to your network?

To be alive!

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

To be alive! My sweet tiny spring leaves unrolling to the soft sunlight. I feel as you must when you dance with joy! To bury your nose in the blossoms of apple, honey suckle and tulip. The energy of life rises gloriously within me and all living things, enthralling us all with the energy of procreation and life on this earth!

Bleeding heart blossoms

You humans can dance. Whey do you insist on sitting still? You can sing gloriously. Why do you sit mute in front of glowing blue screens? You can love with your entire hearts . Why give only half? Why turn away and close off your glorious loving energy that is like a light house beacon that can fill the universe if given the chance?

You can create such magnificent art and music and design, and plans. Why suppress your creative power, and settle for less than your full potential?

Your power does not lie in controlling others or fame and fortune. It does not lie in a tough demeanor. It lies at the very heart of you.  Which do you choose -the heart that lives a half life, closed off from hurt and feeling, or the heart that chooses to face fears and step into the unknown and live fully and deeply, true to the person you came here to be?

Spirit helpers

Grandmother Cottonwood, evening sunlight

You, sweet ones, are surrounded , guided and supported by the web of all that is. Every point is connected to every other point. In this way the fabric of life is woven. I must reveal that this fabric of interconnected energy extends beyond what you can sense with your body into a realm beyond matter, beyond what you call life.

Everything is first spirit, non-material. Don’t bother to conduct experiments. You will not find this energy fabric with your senses, only with your heart.  You must experience it there to know it.

All that is encompasses the beings of light and energy you call spirit. (There is so much more to existence than you are taught in school. You are now attending GCW university where the secrets they withheld from you in school are now revealed.)

The advice, guidance, and help of a non sentient being, or spirit helper, whatever form your mind invents for them, (ancestor, animal, angel…) is freely offered. They are the intermediaries for the wisdom of all that is to be transmitted to you and through you for the highest good. Only for good.

Contact your helpers by sincerely asking to communicate, dropping your ego and skepticism, expecting answers, and following the guidance you receive. It may be slight at first, as you fine tune your connection and your listening skills. Stay with it.  Your life will blossom as the spring flowers blossom after a rain shower.

Open your heart and mind to the richness and love and compassion that lies beyond physical form.

Curses

GCW speaks of curses

2015-10-22 09.41.02

What is a curse, but a blanket of energy that holds you down, originated by angry ugly feelings that become words, and kept alive through belief and repetition.

Know this: Your words have power. The power to harm, the power to heal. You have more power in this world than you can ever imagine!

Do you choose to harm others or heal? If you choose to harm, I ask you before you set anything in motion, to look in the mirror. Look at yourself in the eye and for once, be truthful with yourself. The ugly words that flow from your lips harm you first and most. For you are an integral element of the web in which all things are one.

Cursing others is cursing yourself. Polluting the land is polluting your personal environment. Hurting others physically ends up hurting you. There is no escape from this immutable truth. If you wish to hurt, it is a cry for your own healing, for wholeness, for clearing of your own clouds.

The spark of divine light is within you, only obscured temporarily by clouds, like stormy weather obscures the blue sky. You are not your angry words, you are divine light.

Make this your daily practice: Allow yourself to become the light that you are, and allow your light to illuminate our world.

Drop everything

Early spring Robin

At times it is right to let go, to release your hold, just as trees in autumn drop leaves to prepare for winter. You may simply need to release your grip on all the details of your life for a time- All the worries, fears, all the tickly and prickly little things that make your brain race in circles with no finish line in sight.

Let your brain rest. Be content. Allow yourself to be empty.

Change gear, unplug from the shiny blinking objects that demand so much of you, that suck the joy and life from you. Lay on the sweet cool earth, nestle your body against the trunk of a sturdy tree, put your ear to the soil, hear the rhythm and heart beat of the earth. Know that you are meant to be here, are beloved. You don’t need to prove yourself by constant action that frazzles your nerves and wipes you out.

Burn your epic to-do-list and rest!
