I don’t know

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

Dear ones, at times there are life situations that tax our ability to understand; that go beyond our training and life experience. There are questions that even Google can’t answer.

Having the “correct” answers, knowing the facts and getting it “right” are all rewarded in your human world, also appearing wise and intelligent.

Remember this: not knowing everything is an option. Allowing mystery to exist is an option.  Practice saying “I don’t know.” Nothing bad will happen!

Surrender. Release the situation to all that is, the infinite wisdom of the web of all things, the vast knowledge we all have access to without pushing, striving, or struggling.

The answers you seek will come to you when the time is right, at the intersection of your ceasing to push, openness to receive and your belief that the answers will come.

You will have peace of mind more often when you learn the fine art of surrender, the freedom of saying I don’t know, and releasing your grip on needing to be the one with the answers.

Learn to surrender to the wisdom of all that is, to be humble and trust that you don’t need to know everything!

Stream of life

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / 2 Comments

There is no going back. You have reached this point in your life by allowing the flow of existence to carry you to this time and place; this situation; this very moment.

You know you cannot return to the past, to the smaller self you once were. This is like facing upstream and trying to go against the pull of the current on a flooded river.

You have grown, expanded, and become more than you were. You are larger in spirit, more expanded in heart, wiser. The fears, doubts, and worries of the past are washed away and dissolve like fog before the morning sun.

You are here now, in this body in this place and time with the people who surround you. The stream of life has brought you here.

At any point you may halt your progress, pull out of the stream, get lost in a backwater, beached on a sandbar, foundered on rocks. Will you cling to the shore and stay stuck, or will you allow the current once more to carry you downstream? The choice is yours.

You who wish to progress and move forward won’t be stranded long. You will once again steer for the main channel, the faster moving current of life that takes you effortlessly to your highest good.

Source is your infinite renewable power supply! Align yourself with the flow. Practice allowing yourself to open more and more to the amazing power supply available to all humans.

Do not doubt. Ask for the connection. Practice opening yourself little by little as you attune yourself to the current and higher vibrations you will be capable of holding.

Whatever work you do, whatever your passion, you will find it transformed and enlightened by a close partnership with the source of all creation.

We will weather this storm

My dears, we will all weather this storm.

Send your roots deep into the earth, the loving mother that has always been the solid ground beneath your feet. You will weather this storm with deep roots, a firm and flexible self that will stay strong when the wind rises.

A change in the weather

You will weather this storm by maintaining your alignment with the source of all creation and by doing what you were made for. Under no circumstances hide your gifts, or your light. Bring them forth with clarity, reaching your branches to the life giving light.

Know the power in your belly, your most precious birthright. Let it fuel you to speak clearly what is in your heart. Let it fuel you to act from your wisdom. Let it fuel your creative work.

Have you traded your power for a feeling of security, a paycheck, a relationship? 

Call your power back now! You are needed now more that ever, living at full power, speaking with your full clear voice!

Weather this storm my dears, by expanding into the highest, healthiest, most passionate, focused, clear and magnificent human being it is within your power to become.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

 

Psychic clutter

Clear the  clutter!

Too much “news” and information can clutter your mind and plant fear in your heart, convince you the world is not safe, that you are separate from the web off all things, that ‘they “ are unworthy, and that you are under attack…

Select wisely what you allow into your consciousness. It is a fallacy to think that pumping your brain full of information makes you smarter, safer, more knowledgeable. You must choose your sources wisely, limit your exposure.

Do not invite the screamers, haters and ranters into your head. They sound so confident, so sure, yet that does not make them wise or loving or caring or more intelligent than you are.

You must choose what to believe based on your own experience of the world, your feelings, your own deep knowings. Leave room and space for reality as you feel it and know it. Find your individual voice and speak your truth.

I ask you for the health of our shared planet to clear the psychic clutter and tune in to what really matters. Tune into the deep reservoir within you, the place of true knowing.

Book learning and heart wisdom

/ Shamanic Healing of Ames / Leave a comment

As you have gained in book learning, – “the 3 Rs” science, and technology, you have forgotten and minimized the ancient and powerful wisdom of your heart.

What good is your technical knowledge if you are seething with anger and rage? Who cares if you can recite a speech, a pledge, an epic poem if you have no empathy and compassion for your fellow earth inhabitants? Who cares that you have statistical “proof” that all is well when you feel unhappy, heartsick and physically ill?

Emotional wisdom is far more important to your survival as a species than book learning. Feel the emotion in your body, name it, put your awareness on it. Breathe and feel.

It won’t bite. I might make you feel uncomfortable. Can you live with uncomfortable? Do you want to numb the discomfort? Try to stay with it. If you can’t, find someone who can help you through this.

Be your own best friend! Accept the feelings as they come and go. If you reject an emotion you reject yourself. Love and accept yourselves and allow your feelings to be what they are. Learn from them.

True riches, the infinite fountain of abundance are only to be found by those who look inward with compassion and courage.

It takes your so called guts to live a beautiful life here on this planet where uncertainty reigns, where nothing is guaranteed, where life is exquisitely beautiful, where death is a given.
