9. Connect directly with Spirit

Your soul is in charge of your life! Your spirit has been running show from behind stage curtain since beginning of time.

The primary joy and purpose of our spirit friends--the Ascended Masters, guardian angels, spirit guides, nature devas, spirit animals-is to assist us to reach our life goals. Do you regularly ask for assistance, and let in love and energy from your other dimensional allies?

12. Embrace your Shadow

What you choose not to see, you can't change. What weaknesses, faults, fears and shortcomings do you feel you have-socially, physically, spiritually, romantically, financially, sexually? Are you willing to open up to your soul's point of view on your so-called "dark side"?

13. Hang with people who nurture you

By your own pre-arranged conscious design, old soulmates deliver messages to you that trigger timely awareness, alchemy and awakening.

Where could you be less reckless with another's heart? Where could you celebrate success of others?

Our soul is always (all ways) trying to steer us toward our goals. We live in an interactive, responsive universe that is designed to fulfill our deepest dreams-if we would only play along!

Open door to more magic, meaning and money in your world by learning to suspend skepticism and conditioned responses. Learn to surf through surprises of life, instead of being swept away by them.

17. Feng-shui your life: Give yourself a "spaceshift"

Feng-shui is ancient art of consciously managing matter and energy within space. By intuitively re-arranging elements of your daily life, you create space to nurture freedom, opportunities and effectiveness you desire. By clearing out old, dead elements of your life, you create a natural vacuum and an unblocked channel for fresh, new energy and ideas to come into your private and professional life. How could you unblock your energy now? Where can you re-arrange ways you live your everyday life in a fresh, new, intuitive way?

18. Live your life as an experiment

Consider your life as latest-and greatest-experiment by human consciousness to express Heaven on Earth-or just to have fun playing in 3rd dimension. Where could you lighten up, celebrate and have more humor in your approach to living?

Seeing

When shaman use their ability to "see" underlying energy dynamics of situations and relationships, they are able to "see" cause and effect connections and forces that are not visible when viewing circumstances superficially, i.e., looking only at outer form. Perceiving energy dynamics of life events reveals new alternatives and possibilities not previously apparent.

"The art of (shaman) is to be able to guide, to be able to illuminate path in such a way that person hooks on to a greater experience-that of freedom..." Eagle Feather shares. This allows people freedom to move beyond limits of past perceptions into realm of options, fresh creativity and natural magic.

A shaman would "see," for example, that anger of a supermarket clerk resulted from clerk's inability to express their feelings. The shaman could "see" how these emotions were adversely affecting not only clerk, but people in line. Consequently, a shaman may choose to engage angry clerk in a friendly, relaxing conversation in order to shift situation into flow and harmony.

Power

We have many powers within us that we can learn to use for our own benefit and for benefit of others. From shamanistic point of view, all power comes from within. Power comes from authorship (authority). Shamans become authors of creations in their world by freeing themselves of programmed and conditioned perceptions. In moving beyond customs, manners, rules and techniques, shaman embraces practicality of " What works, works." The shaman has little concern for how something works, only that it produces results that one intends. Shamans are most flexible, utilitarian and efficient authors of their world. They take shortest, quickest route to their goals, even if path tramples on their own concepts or beliefs.

One way people can experience this power is to look for proof in their own lives. Take love, for example. One way to increase presence and power of love in a person's life is to decrease presence and power of judgment. Shamans notice that their attention cannot be in both places at same time, and, therefore choose where they want to spend their energy. To spend energy judging that they harmed someone or that another person caused them harm, would be a misdirection and waste of energy for a shaman.

Eagle Feather explains more about true nature of power, " Anyone looking for power over others or control over material processes is probably going to be disappointed by teaching, which essentially define power as ability to free oneself from one's own perceptions and habitual patterns. The message seems to be that once you align with energy, you're no longer master. Spirit is."

Healing

A shaman is a bridge between this world and invisible world of spirit. A shaman is very anchored, very present in this world. Being so centered and grounded, a shaman can assist a person to travel into dimensions and see things from a much bigger perspective. Then people can heal because there is more room for them to expand and open to fresh new realities. This expanded awareness from shaman creates a strong foundation for people to awaken to their own healing power within. The goal of shaman is always to support awakening of soul. The shaman acts as an anchor so person can reach their own depth and move through their own cellular transformation.

Shaman Frederick Wolf concurs. "People really know how to heal themselves. It's an illusion to think that someone is going to come and heal them. But what will happen is, when they feel support and safety that shaman can hold for them, they will have faith enough to go into that place inside of them that knows how to heal. It's not some magical thing that happens. It' s very natural."

Way of Living

Shamanism is a way of living on altar of Mother Earth. It's a way to live in balance on earth, a way of finding not only peace with yourself personally, but peace with nature and your environment. Shamanism is bringing two worlds together: your inner world-"your heart"-with your outer world. It's important to be balanced, to be grounded in both worlds. We should be able to go anywhere and be at home, whether it's in a cave or a big city.

Shamanism is a pathway that can help us to realize sacredness and magic within and all around us. Birds that soar into heavens, trees whose roots reach deep into earth, everything in nature reflects an aspect of our souls. As poet Rumi said, "You will see stars and moons mirrored in your being." Shamanism is letting go of our limited ideas and concepts of who we are. As we abandon our illusions of separateness, we open to beauty and simplicity of our true nature-our connectedness with all of life.
