It is Time!

You who are alive at this moment in time, those who are called to live here upon this Earth – You are needed now more than ever to be at the top of your game, to keep yourself clear of emotional clutter and baggage, to be clear and open channels for spirit for the specific gifts and talents you bring to this place and time, the home your spirit has chosen for you.

All who can, this is the time to stand tall in the light of the divine. This is the time to root deeply to our home, the Earth.

Grandmother Cottonwood

This is the time to hold your ground, maintain your light, keep yourselves attuned to the frequencies of life. This is the time to know your truth and live by it.

This is the time to love and cherish every breath, every beat of your heart. This is the time to access the power deep within yourself. This is the time to open to those beloved people in your life and love them with your whole heart, leaving judgment behind.

This life of the spirit is a mystery. There is no beginning, no end. While your spirit inhabits your body, there is only the river of now in which you have the power to act.

Grandmother Cottonwood

It is time to surrender to spirit’s plan for you, to cease any dithering and get to work!

It is time to dedicate yourself to the flow of inspiration and energy that is drawn through your being and create our world anew.

Trust in your spirit

Your spirit is connected to all that is even if you don’t remember this. You knew this as an infant, as a child and you can know this again.

Your spirit is the great receiver of inspiration, the great channeler of divine energies. What you see smell touch taste, hear is information needed to live successfully in your body on your chosen planet.

Your body is the how of survival on Earth. Your spirit is the why of your life, gives your life meaning.

Balance between your body and spirit ensures that you live a full life, receiving divine inspiration and guidance through the spirit, living fully in the body, grounded and anchored energetically to the earth, keeping your body healthy and vibrant.

You are a being with access to your full power when you live in harmony with all of life.

You receive inspiration and guidance through the spirit. You use these inspirations as fuel to create and act and build your life through the vehicle of your body.

What does your spirit want?

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

Does the energy of your mind and body always agree with that of your heart and spirit?

When you have planned and made your to-do list with your logical mind, fit all your tasks into the appropriate time slots on your calendar do you find yourself ignoring procrastinating, fuzzy headed, trying to distract yourself with the phone, the computer, food?

Do you avoid your carefully listed jobs? Then do you try to push through the resistance to get them done with no joy or sense of fun?

Ask yourself instead, “What does my spirit want? What do my spirit and heart ask of me today?”

Your list of spirit inspired things to do may look a lot different than the logical brain list. When your actions are tied to the needs of your spirit, you will feel energized and inspired instead of tired, deadened, dull and grudging.

When you listen to your spirit and do those spirit and heart guided activities first, the other less inspiring but necessary tasks of daily living will fall more easily into place.

Feed and nurture your spirit. Listen to its wisdom, its plan for your life. Do the big things that your heart longs to accomplish first.

Give yourself this precious gift, the gift of time and attention and focus on the reasons you came to this Earth in a body!

Partnership with Source

What are you waiting for? When inspiration flows to you and through you, it is your life and Source calling you to action!

Get your body, mind and spirit moving on your soul satisfying inspired projects and ideas. Take and make the time to sustain your focus! If you have to wait, capture the flow with a note, a drawing, a reminder of the idea, then come back when you have uninterrupted quality time for yourself.

Being and Doing

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

Dear ones, do you find a balance in life between being and doing? Too much of one, not enough of the other and you are out of balance, off kilter, not as effective as you might be.

To be is to sit quietly, to allow life to flow through you without resistance, to attract through your energy field, to set intentions- the internal agenda, to align with source, to be mindful of your body, to draw that which you desire to your precious self.

To do is to take physical action, to reach out into the world with confidence, to make your inspirations manifest in the world, to breath life into your ideas, using the tools and techniques and materials that best suit you.

Are you full of inspiration and creative ideas, yet unable to follow through and carry them out? Or, do you exert yourself and labor all day long without any knowledge of what is happening inside you? Are you out in the world putting plans into action, yet not knowing how to sit still at times and enjoy the beauty within and around you?

Are you mostly a be-er or a doer? Notice your inclinations and try to create a balance between action and introspection, between the outer world of activity and achievement, and your inner landscape of inspiration, allowing, and creative visions.

What are you waiting for?

I, rooted to the earth, I who stand patiently in my chosen place for my hundred or more years ask you –

What are you waiting for?

It is time to get off the mark, out of your seat, and let the inspiration that fills your being move you to act! When you are inspired and connected to source, the acts you are moved to will ring true, fall into place with ease, be in your highest good and the highest good of the planet.

When you are in accord with your heart and allow the fearful ego voice to fade into the background, your actions will bless this earth and all living creatures.

So, what are you waiting for?

If fear and loathing keep you frozen and motionless, do what you can to soothe your fears and calm your anxiety. Do not allow your life to pass you by because of fear!

Your true power comes through when your will and divine will line up. Then you feel the energy and inspiration fill your body. Then you can tap into the great power at your center, the divine purpose you have come to express.

Let your light shine brightly!

Choose one idea

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

Are you filled with inspiration and ideas – bursting at the seams with fervor to create and bring your ideas from the energy of thought to physical reality?

When you find that ideas are flowing like the ocean tide and the spring thaw, you must choose and decide. You must narrow your focus to one or two ideas at a time. Otherwise you will make yourself crazy and accomplish exactly zero!

When your attention is scattered in all directions you cannot bring your ideas forth with any coherence.

When your attention is focused like a laser beam on one thing at a time; the one thing that rocks your world, satisfies your soul, floats your boat, makes your heart sing, you harness the creative power of the universe in one clear coherent signal. All the guidance you need is provided.

Dear idea person, Keep a list and file of all your amazing inspirations. When you are ready for a new adventure, when you’ve brought your current idea to fruition with focus, discipline and perseverance, you many choose again from your file and begin the process again.

Choose the idea that lifts you up, excites and satisfies you. Choose the idea that has been in your mind and heart for many years, the perennial favorite.

After choosing your amazing idea, give it your full attention. Let your creativity flow! Do what it takes and bless this earth with your passion, purpose and focus.

Fear of moving forward

GCW speaks of moving past your fears:

Winter sunshine and shadow

Do you feel stuck in the mud, glued to the spot, relegated to the shadows? Is taking action painful? Do you allow yourself to be distracted by shiny blinking things, physical pain, TV sitcoms, murder mysteries? Do you worry about things that will never come to pass in this world or the next?

If you look in the mirror and see a body and a familiar face looking back at you; if you reach out and touch yourself and feel warm skin and a pulse; if you take sweet air into your lungs and breathe; if you exist in this place and time in a human body, you are meant to take action when inspired. You are meant to move forward into the unknown when called, and fearlessly reinvent yourself in each moment.

You are meant to dissolve the invisible barriers that keep you small. You dissolve unfounded fears by shining a light on them, loving them and moving forward past the doubt, the heaviness in your chest, into what you know in your gut is right for you.

You do this in response to your heart’s desires, the driving force behind all existence. You are spirit and body, and the heart is your navigator. You must get out of your chair, out of your head, and into the place where magic meets the material world. Surrender to your heart. You know it is where your true wisdom lies.

Tap in to the powerful energy of your heart. Listen for guidance. Act!
