Some Tools for Shamanic Practices

SOME TOOLS FOR SHAMANIC TECHNIQUES

Perhaps the most important tool is to slow down. For a shamanic journey you need to know exactly what you want to achieve, and to have a sharp focus, or there will be misalignment with your higher consciousness.

A wild animal is completely aligned with it’s needs, through instinct and the solar plexus chakra. People confuse what they want, with what they need. Asking for what you want out of alignment with what you need will fail. It is easy to (want to) eat more than you need at a buffet or restaurant. The want and need are misaligned.

Then there are those who know what they need but will do the opposite through lack of will power. For a shamanic journey we need to put the desire to achieve what we need.

Think of a SEED. It has the potential to grow. All the needs of the seed are in the shell. From the moment of conception of the seed it has what it needs. Reconnect with the seed of who you are.

You need to want / desire it.
Practice Meditation
Take Shamanic journeys (with music, drumming, rattles, dance etc.)
Use Reflected experience

For example eating: the body needs food but each body can accept or reject certain foods and quantities, like nuts, sesame, shellfish etc. We learn what our own body needs from “reflected experience”. If something makes you ill or sick, reflect on it, and avoid it in future. No “ diet expect” knows your body like you do.

Relationships too are trial and error, and they change continuously, reflecting experience and growth, or lack of it. The needs of each individual change. Each connection with energies from “outside” the relationship brings a new fusion of energies, some powerful enough to blow a relationship apart. Unchanging energies are stagnation. Changing energies are growth.
