    Importance of Rhythm in Healing

    Play Episode Listen Later May 14, 2022 32:20


    In a place of marker points, of form and structure, of shapes and straight lines... there is another rhythm, a pulse, a breath, a flow and a dance.I welcome you to approach healing work through this rhythm.Many times in healing we are inviting a whole other perspective to the binding constructs.  While an illness or challenge carries bindings, walls and barriers... we can introduce a breath that exists both within those constructs and also beyond the barriers.This rhythm of life, of nature, of breath, and of ocean opens up realms of existence and expands the consciousness.When we observe healing through the lens of natural rhythms, we can see where, when and how to assist in the transformation processes.  Shamanic healing is ultimately an act of universal compassion through the channels of the hollow bone with the guidance of the helping spirits connecting us to the Wholeness itself.https://www.shamancollege.com/blog/importance-of-rhythm-in-healing

    Divination for Living Embodiment

    Play Episode Listen Later May 14, 2022 22:37


    Hello Dear Shaman College Community,We have a unique relationship with divination within shamanism.  The tools and abilities we have honed allow us to both receive information through the cognitive channels and to get 'hands-on' guidance on how to embody and breathe this information into our day to day lives.Shamanism is a bridge, not just for messages and information but also for change, metamorphosis, growth, and healing.Some people can get into a pattern of divining and divining - always getting more information and filling up the mental realm with thoughts.  And yet for many people, this practice doesn't necessarily result in embodied shifts.In our courses, we push you to explore the ordinary reality shifts that are available to you through these non-ordinary communications.  Remember, shamanism helps you receive information AND it allows to dive into the transformations.One suggestion you can begin with right away, is to work as much as you can with your other senses during your journey work.  Instead of relying solely on verbal teachings from your guides, ask them to show you how, ask them to help you feel, sense and even move with this energetic shift.  And then, to honour them best... give it a go in this ordinary realm.  Walk the shifts, speak the shifts, dance them, invite them in, dream them, and give them life here.Please join me in this video with some more tips and discussion around this topic.Please reach out at any point to us,we are here to assist you!with blessings,Kimba and the Shaman College Team https://www.shamancollege.com/blog/divination-embodiment

    Equinox Meditation - Seeing from the Heart

    Play Episode Listen Later May 14, 2022 32:28


    Equinox is a time of half-half... a perfect balance. In a perfect balance, there is a pause where no movement happens.  It is fleeting, at yet the energetics are important... it is an entry point, a portal of sorts.Pauses are needed in healing.  They are the moments of non-doing.  You could even say that they are moments of "non-healing".  Of pure acceptance for what is in that moment.There is an alchemical fire that exists in the moment of pure seeing, of simply and fully honouring what is here in this balance without asking for anything to change.Of course change happens, movement happens... energy shifts and healing happens in its many ways.  From that pause, next steps are taken.  We add pieces and we take them away.  This change is also in the flow of existence.On this Equinox, may we remember and be blessed by the pure seeing from the heart.  The pause of balance and the love that is here when we rest for a moment in the presence of being, no matter what is 'happening'.With love and gratitude to all,Kimba and the Shaman College Teamhttps://www.shamancollege.com/blog/equinox-meditation-seeing-from-the-heart

    Hello dear Shaman College Community,I hope you enjoy this video sharing.  And just maybe it can assist you through the holiday season and beyond?Each one carries 'medicine' for this world. It is an energetic imprint, it is a spiritual light, and a presence that only you transmit.Unlike the 'baggage' that gets carried as weighted challenges or traumatic scars... this medicine that you carry actually un-weights you.  It lifts you and it lightens the load on the wholeness of existence.These energetic imprints and vibrations come through ancestral channels, physical places, your DNA, spiritual guides, plants, animals and more.I ask you to sense-in and consider what many gifts you carry. I ask you to look at yourself through this lens that 'feels' the presence of these gifts.  You are the living, moving representation of these gifts. It is through you, that we get to meet this.Enjoy....with gratitude,Kimba

    Hello dear Shaman College Community,Here is another teaching that comes from the mentorship... inspired by the students at Shaman College and their beautiful work.Not everyone will 'get' this!  But that is OK... I know I am not speaking to everyone but to you who are here on this shamanic path in some way.  And I trust that the knowing in our bones will someday be widely understood and shared among our Descendants as this world is dreamed into a beautiful frequency of love and balance with Nature.In shamanic healing, we are known as "seers"... we see healing into existence.  It is through the seeing and the dreaming that this physical expression of health and vibrancy is manifested and retuned.... yes, also returned!Because of the potency and power of seeing, we must be aware of what we are reading in this world.  Are you reading what you see?  Or are you reading what you are being told?  We must be aware of what we are 'buying into', and how we are judging 'problems'.With shamanic abilities, we can go straight to the so-called, problem.  We can open our senses there, ask and inquire.  Our spirit guides and teachers will assist us!  We may find that there is not the problem that has been advertised but instead another pathway to a more colourful expression.This is a time that we are moving beyond the "dreamspell".  We are seeing through the veils.  And when we do this, we dream a new place.  We see a place that moves in a harmonics that we know in our bones and in our heart.I hope this message reaches you at the perfect time,many blessings to all,Kimba

If we can see it, and we can feel it... than we can bring it forth. How does this happen?Manifestation comes through interaction.It is a meeting place.In each meeting you have the opportunity to welcome forth the dream into this experienced realm. When dreams are shared in this way, we all get to drink from the fresh waters.

    For the video version, please visit our website!https://www.shamancollege.com/blog/time-to-hold-the-sacred-spaceHello dear Shaman College community,This message and guidance comes through the midpoint time between Equinox and Solstice, known and felt through generations across our beautiful Earth as a thin time of the veil between worlds. A time of both life and death - connected.  A time when some play with fear while others allow the masks to fall away.Right now in our lives, we are all together transitioning through a big shift in consciousness... a level of awakening that is not kept to just a few, but is reaching people across the wholeness of Mother Earth.In this video I speak about the physicality of healing and the converse physicality of fear . The physicality of healing comes with a deep easy breath, a flexible and malleable skeletal muscle, and a toned and grounded internal organ presence.  The heart itself - buoyant, steady, speaking and guiding the way.  While the physicality of fear actually promotes illness and closes us off to our deep knowing and intuition.We explore our powers of sensitivity which opens us to empathy together with groundedness, strength, sight, and knowing of infinite connectivity.  Together, these abilities (and more) are our natural given powers, these are human and spiritual. As we are experiencing our strengths again, old patterns fall away.  This is the way in shamanic healing, isn't it? As our perceptions open, we no longer get fooled by the masks.  The maya, illusory world, the false stories on the stage cannot fool us as easily!Finally, we look at our ability to hold sacred space for each other and the teachings from the Great Trees... which leads us into a guided group meditation.With gratitude and love to all,Kimba

    We receive a high number of requests and comments about grounding.  People feeling ungrounded or wanting assistance in 'how to ground'.This opens an inquiry and inner looking.  What does it mean to be grounded?  To feel grounded?  And are you ready to open to the power of the Earth (and your body... the ground)?At the same time, we hear form people that are wanting to fly!  To go into the mystical, the mystery, the stars and not be here in this form.  I hear people describing that they are not human... that they do not identify with this form.All of these expressions and more... point to the greater question that we are looking at through this series, "What is it to really be a human?".  Human is light and form, stars and Earth.In this episode, I explore with you, the sense of grounding and the portal that it offers us.  The ground of our being opens to the infinity of our being... they are not separate!One of the lessons from the yogic teachings that I have always resonated with is that when the lower chakras are cleared and vibrant, that the the upper chakras can open.  This is also what I have found in my work with clients... when the Earth channels and the physical channels are balanced and present, the psychic, spiritual and star channels can open.It is very rare to find an individual that is grounded, physically present, with their Earth channels open, with their lower chakras healthy and balanced... that is unable to flow to the higher centres.  I have not met one yet, though they may be out there?In shamanism and shamanic healing, this grounding is experienced in someone who is practicing safely, effectively and powerfully. The ground giving them a strength and ability to bring healing to Earth, while the upper chakras open to multiple realms.  And the heart beat, connecting everything as One.Please visit www. shamancollege.com to join our email list for all the latest updates and offerings.We have a  Feet - Gates to the Earth Workshop coming soon!

If we are going to break through the belief structures that have held us in place, we must tap into our powers as humans.  Just like changing any habituated viewpoint or action, it can take dedication and bring up some challenges.One of the primary beliefs that we address in this series is a big one - what does it mean to be human? Each podcast is both a lesson that comes in through the mind as well as a healing transmission in itself reaching to your heart and soul.In this introductory podcast, Kimba invites you to begin to see yourself and identify with your light body.  As you do this, you begin to set the framework for a whole new exploration into the nature, or super-nature of your human existence.  Your physical body which is a sacred vessel can reference this light body once your consciousness opens to this reality of light as ‘you'.Shamanism knows the co-existence of form and formless and bridges the realms uniting them into one interwoven Universe. Included are recommendations for how you can begin right now to practice and see the world through your light and begin to let your physical reality and your light body breathe together.www.shamancollege.comJoin Kimba in our next 7-week course, Your Spirit Allies starting on March 29, 2021.Details here: https://www.shamancollege.com/spirit-allies-self-healing

When you think of someone, you picture their name and their form.  This is the same for yourself - you picture your name and your form.  Of course, we all intuitively know that we are much more than that!However, even in this foundation identity... there is more than we have been taught.  The more science discovers, the more they realise it is vastly incomplete.What is the human body?  What powers and potential does it have? Why have we been given this human form?  Are we more 'super-human' than the textbooks and cultural norms have told us?What would happen if you referenced yourself in a whole new way?As we move forward into this year, I will be sharing more about how we can begin to know and work with these human bodies in a way that opens us up to the brightest light and healing potential that has been given to us all.I think this week's Earth Prayers is a beautiful starting place... to merge into the LOVE that you are.

    At a time when what is placed in front of our human systems... is further and further from natural, it is of utmost importance that we 'stretch' our senses on a continual basis.You can think of your body in a 'regular' way to help see what I mean.  You are probably familiar that physical fitness and longterm health requires a regular dedication.  That if you don't use it, you lose it, when it comes to muscular strength, flexibility, coordination and mental acuity.Well, you can think of your 5 senses, multiple subtle senses (clairs)  and your imagination as the same!  We must exercise these regularly... to maintain our full spectrum of awareness.  To maintain and grow our sensitivities we must continually work with them.We must remain human!  Being human is working with our senses and imagination.  Once these are 'taken' from us, we become desensitised, and we can lose access to so much of our potential.Everyday... brush your teeth, drink fresh water, go on a walk, stretch your body, and have fun exercising your sensations... these are your portals to your higher frequencies.I hope you enjoy this audio guidance!

    Many people come through Shaman College and share that firstly, their connection to spirits and nature reach all the way back to childhood and secondly, that somewhere along the way, they were asked to conform, ignore and forget their innate sensitivities.You may find that this resonates with your history.  That somewhere along the line of your life, you were encouraged to contain your light.  Perhaps you were also uprooted from your groundedness of being?  It turns out that your groundedness and your light are closely related.We are brilliant, we have life-force within us.  And we have potentials and capacity within us for a beautiful world.  Humans have more power than we have been taught.  I believe it is time that we all contribute to the recovery of this light, we need this, the Earth needs this, and all life needs this.In this blog video, I invite you to look at your light.  How do you connect with the higher frequencies that are running through you?  How is the light of your presence affecting the world around you?If you give this some contemplation as you move throughout your days and weeks... you begin to give 'light' (of awareness) to your light itself, this has an important role in our world.At Shaman College, we have many resources for you.  Please reach out to us for assistance and guidance.

    This is inspired by both personal and professional work that I have done with the "light body" and also shares some insight into the topic that we cover in our new course, Shamanic Pathways for Yoga at Shaman College.This is such a beautiful and powerful yet simple practice, that shifts your reference point from a physical, solid form to an energetic body of light.What happens for you when you walk your light body?  What does it feel like?  What does the world look like from there?  Who do you meet along your path?  What messages come?  What visions and visitations arise?So often we trudge along in the illusion of being stuck in a form... yet our form is a reflection of our reference body of light.Experiment with a playful invitation to your light body as you move through this world.https://www.shamancollege.com/blog/walking-your-light-body

    I know... it isn't the best advertisement for our college!  But, it is true... this path is not for everyone.  However, we have so many beautiful and powerful practitioners among us.I am sharing this video blog and hoping that it is insightful and supportive for all of you.Some of you may be currently feeling the 'push' and the challenge, or maybe you are wondering if this path is for you, or maybe you are actually wanting a training that is detailed, immersive and gradually deepening.I feel that the shamans that are revealed here... see that their experience and the depth of their footsteps are an integral part of their power.I do want to say something that didn't get shared in this video... and that is that these paths that you are on are sacred.  Sometimes, the ways we do things at Shaman College do not fit you exactly.  This is also OK.  There are many schools and apprenticeships in shamanism - we are by no means alone.  However, we do have a certain way we do things, standards, ethics and safety that we uphold  - this is so we can stand by with complete integrity each certificate that we are honoured to hand over to someone!It is one of my goals... to know that I can trust any one of our graduates with the healing of another human being, that I could refer my clients to them.  If I can do this, I know we have done our job here.www.shamancollege.com

    The treatment mindset that exists widely in our cultures today involves fixing, solving and curing. And in this approach has often forgotten the life-force itself.   As if the power and strength in healing is determined by the 'great' minds to solve.In shamanism we invite life in all of its cycles to reveal itself.  We invite assistance and spiritual guidance to come and help with the surfacing of this power and potential that exists in life at its very essence.As contemporary shamans and practitioners, we must be aware of the paradigms of our 'treatment' world. We must remember the power in the posture of invitation. Many times clients will come to you wanting treatment, wanting to be healed and fixed.  And you may be able to help them... yet, not in the way that ignores the power in their own life force.Let us  remember to "Invite Life".

    Resistance and Assistance

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 21, 2020 14:56


    This is a blog for those who are practicing shamanism for self-healing or for healing others.At some point along the path, resistances are likely to arise.  Initiatory practices and journeys are the most obvious times, yet... any level, any circumstance, and anytime you may feel something that asks you to pause or provides a friction to your forward steps.These may even become common within your work as you push beyond the boundaries and limitations of your mind and your ego.  You are likely being asked to drop more into your heart and surrender to the shamanism moving through you.Here at Shaman College, as we mentor you, we will never ask you to do something that is beyond your ability, nor will we force you into any practice and never do we push you into those that may bring harm.  The challenges you feel are real... yet the safety that we practice here is also real.Along with resistance, comes assistance. Honour what is happening and travel to your guides and helpers through your practiced journey work.  Communicate directly with them... ask them for assistance and guidance.Sometimes the resistance is because you are being asked to ASK for assistance!  Actually this is often the case.  The assistance will come in many forms depending on what is right for you at this time. When you begin to ask more and work with the spirits more, you are guided from beyond the mind.  The allies come in to help you and the growth while perhaps subtle, is immense.

    This sharing is about relationship and harmonics.  It is about tuning in to the divine geometrics, vibrations, energetics and information that we know at a cellular level but that we can become blinded to by our cultural and collective consciousness.This blog is about tuning ourselves with the assistance of the spirits, nature, and allies around us... to the frequencies from which the 'new' world can be seen and manifested.Shamanic practice and the shamanic healers through all time of many different names, have been able to tune in to these frequencies, bridging the worlds.Now, you are here... you are the bridge.  And you have spirit assistance.  We have each other as well.  Together, harmonics are created... you may think about how it takes the shaman, the client, the timing, the spirits and more to bring healing.  This allows our work to move beyond imagination.www.shamancollege.com

Many of us carry generational wounds, illness, scars, and blindness.As living beings here today, seeing through the veil of separation to the Oneness, we can be a part of the global healing that is needed.  Our personal transformation is not only personal.  At some point along your journey- this realisation is seen.  And then, all healing whether it be 'self' healing or healing for 'others'... is actually healing for all.Thank you for letting me share my own personal story here.  And I hope that it serves you in some way.  My message is to keep going!  To keep your shamanism alive.www.shamancollege.com
