Wisdom teachings from Earth Spirit Dreaming: Shamanic Ecotherapy Practices:

 

Hola Relatives. Here are some wisdom teachings from Earth Spirit Dreaming: Shamanic Ecotherapy Practices by Elizabeth E. Meacham that offer support to making the Season of Winter Holy Days meaningful and light-filled. “Know that we are nodes on a vast web; we are distinct yet fully merged with miraculous interwoven rivers of vibrations. Realize that while we cannot understand why or how vibrational reality exists, we can foster relationships within vibrational reality. While the limits of our human minds cannot conceive this vast matrix of light, our hearts can access and interact with vibrational reality through love. We live in interesting times. Our foremost scientists, to whom we have given the task of explaining the material nature of our universe, are now describing a universe that the shamans have been describing for thousands of years. The scientists have arrived there through fact and experimentation and the shamans through their experiences in altered states of consciousness. We are coming full circle. It is as if the shamans have stood still and the developed world has gone around the circle the long way, through rigorous scientific exploration, and arrive where humanity started, in the shaman’s universe.  We are all equipped with the tools needed to foster shamanic experience. The most basic things that any child likes to do are the means. Joy, play, dance, song, wonder, full feeling, complete presence, and our sensitivity and inherent connection with nature: these are the ways to open the gates, and they are readily available to all of us. Music, art and dance are natural creative resources to express feelings and connection with magic and mystery. These basic human functions are a daily need, and a wellspring of relationship with each other and the cosmos in all her expressions. Through visualization and imagination, expressed as ritual and ceremony co-created with Earth and Spirit, we can open to life- changing experiences of oneness. As the orientation of Western culture is grounded in disconnection, a renewed connection with the Earth and ‘all our relations’ gives us new information to reach beyond the limits of our current abilities to understand or believe. Moving into contact with elemental nature energies, seeking engagement with spirit helpers, and speaking and listening to the Earth, we can see new possibilities and begin to dream new dreams in alignment with the Earth and Spirit beings that exist among and around us. By re-learning to be and know from a place of integration with the vibrational matrix of reality, and ancient wisdom and beings, we find all that we need to return to the stories and memories of the Earth, our spirit helpers, our ancestors, and the true magic of being human on this wondrous planet."
