Podcast appearances and mentions of sandra ingerman

Sandra was reading one of the posts on the Shamans Cave Facebook Page about the Bushmen who dance and sing for hours and the power and healing that comes from doing this. We have talked about the power of dancing, walking, and singing on a variety of past episodes.But as we have gotten into a habit of sitting more through driving, being on our devices too long, being on our computers, and working too long we are once again suppressing the true power that we came here to express. And in shamanic cultures people raise their energy through song and dance.Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman as they talk about the healing that comes from movement and song. And Sandra teaches us a healing song at the end of the show. Follow Us @theshamanscave

In this week's podcast Renee and Sandra talk about how on a spiritual level we can keep doing our work to expand and evolve. But if we are in a state of fear and contracting then we are suppressing all the spiritual energy we learned how to raise and this puts an amazing amount of stress on our bodies and nervous system when we are trying to expand and contract at the same time. Is this something you can relate to in your own life?Join this powerful show as Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau talk about how we can stand strong and let our energy flow like the wind and the river of life and feel empowered in this time of change as we choose to leave a state of fear and contraction.  Follow Us @theshamanscave

In chaotic and challenging times trust is our most powerful tool and the one we often have the hardest time embracing. When things are not going well we want to blame, we want to withdraw, we feel victim to the forces of life. But this is part of starting any initiation. There needs to be a breakdown of trust and all we can count on as we enter a time of death and rebirth. But once you get further on the journey you remember the innate strength and resilience that has gotten you through all the challenges in your life.Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman  in this powerful show as they inspire you to dig deep and remember the truth that you are strong and resilient and to trust that your own strength will carry you through such a powerful time of change.

In nature we have trees that who feed so many beings – humans, birds, insects, all that lives on the earth and air. And from a shamanic point of view these trees feel honored when we eat and feel nurtured from their fruits. But of course, then comes a cycle of regeneration of the silent process of going within to regenerate and become nourished again to have the strength tobloom in the spring and summer.This the most basic explanation of the cycle of life of the times when we grow horizontally and have the energy to give to others then shift into a time when we need to go within to our inner world to put our roots deep into the earth to draw up nurturance and raise our branches to the sky to draw down regenerative energy from the divine worlds.Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau as they speak about this important topic and inspire you to look at how to balance your cycles so you are living in a way where you feel fully nurtured before you offer help to others and the planet.

Death is a cycle of nature. We die with every change that happens to us in life. Due to so many illnesses circulating our over populated planet we are seeing death effect us all on a personal level. Loved ones and friends are dying at what feels untimely. No one is completely protected from the effects of toxins and the viruses and bacteria causing so much illness.Our generation is seeing deaths at a rate that makes us wake up to the preciousness of life and how we need to care for ourselves and our loved ones. Self care is so important right now. And being responsible for taking care of your affairs is so important as we are seeing the devastating impact on loved ones and families who are left with a legal mess. We have so many friends in this position.Renee and Sandra decided to take on this topic as Sandra is hearing about an alarming number of her students and acquaintances that are being left with closing down a loved ones life and they don't even know where to start. In the times we are living in we need to learn how to age responsibility by taking care of ourselves and our affairs. Join us in this powerful show!

In a lot of spiritual traditions gossip is a way to make people feel that they are superior to others who have made a misstep or who are not behaving in an ethical manner. It is true it is up to our communities to let people know when there are unethical teachers who are hurting others instead of truly teaching ethically from a place where they have done a lot of personal work to tame and transmute their shadow.When we can do this we end up creating unity which is so needed today. Division is separating all of us from joining together from a place of power. Join Renee and Sandra as they speak about the importance of lifting people up instead of creating more division in a divisive world. Join us as we celebrate life and unity!

If there is one thing that many people understand all over the world is that we have entered a time of true chaos where we our reality is being shaken up. There are all kind of possible outcomes that can happen and no one is privy with the knowledge to know where the creative forces of the universe are leading us too.Are you taking on too much by reading about every international chaotic event instead of finding practices that keep you centered and embodied so you can count on your body's and heart's wisdom now?Join Renee and Sandra as they explore the topic of overwhelm and share some of their favorite tools they use in their spiritual practices to stay centered.

In this extremely relevant show to the times we are living in, Renee and Sandra speak about an article in the New York Times where a psychologist talked about letting go of the need to forgive people who abused you but instead have compassion for what made them behave in such a destructive way.It is an interesting concept to think about today where people try to force forgiveness. Forgiveness can't be forced as it comes only at the right time when we have come to a new place in our life.Join Renee and Sandra as they explore the power of compassion in this show filled with a lot of old time wisdom.

Sandra went to see the new Dylan movie which reminded her how tight the community was in the 1960s, and how they stood together during challenging times and did not sit down but connected and demonstrated.Today it seems like the spiritual community is more disconnected from each other and still have some work to do to transcend the ego and shadow states that want us to divide and use blaming behavior.Join Sandra and Renee for this important show on the need for the spiritual community to come together and stand together in order to help to make lasting changes for one's personal life and community.

Sandra started this show by leading an invocation to congratulate Renee on the release of her new book A Pilgrim's Guide to Walking Wisdom 11:11 Insights.To write a book is such a creative act that comes from one soul. And Renee brought us a beautiful book with insights and tools to help us walk forward during a time of chaos.Join Renee and Sandra as they not only talk about Renee's book but learning about the power of community and walking each other home.

At at time on the planet when looking youthful and finding ways to live longer dominate our news and culture an entire part of our population is not being honored for the life that have led and what they contributed over their lifetime. We tend to compare how we are aging to what we see in the news and to others who we know.The truth is we all have our natural cycle of life and aging is a part of life as we are Nature and everything in Nature grows old and dies. How do we follow our own internal cycle of aging and find ways to make this time of life meaningful and joyful instead of something to deny?Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau as they address this powerful topic that so many people are focusing on in their own cycles of life right now.

Our modern Western culture tends to focus on learning through lectures and gathering more material. This works to a point, but how deep does this information go when we are only engaging our conscious mind. During this show Renee and Sandra introduce us to the power of old-time story telling that is circular rather than linear and is a feminine way of teaching.Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman as they dive into the topic of circular story telling as a way to bring back the old ways of feminine teaching through metaphors that go deep into your unconscious creating real lasting change.

Renee and Sandra had a wonderful call chatting with each other about many different topics from copyrighting your writing to how every change in life is a death and how we can find a roadmap for walking our path following the river of life by doing oracle work.This show is filled with so much wonderful conversation that contains so much wisdom as we move into the time of winter and the return of the sun. The dark and light always must be balanced for life on Earth. Join Renee and Sandra and you feel like you are sitting with them drinking a cup of tea!

One of our listeners asked Renee and Sandra that covers the intersectionality between mental health professionals and shamanism. This is a really deep topic and Rene and Sandra covered key details that therapists working with shamanic healing need to know. But how wonderful it is to know that therapists have been integrating shamanic healing into their therapeutic practices for decades.Join Sandra and Renee as they begin a discussion that will lead you to an new understanding and steps to integrate the work into a private practice, the ethics, telling healing stories and so much more.

In America we just had an incredibly polarized election. It is interesting to examine the polarization when we all share one Earth. Renee shares a very wise perspective about this while Sandra talks about the importance to grieve if you feel a death occurred in your life with this election.Join Renee and Sandra for this powerful audio show where you will learn different perspectives about the election and the state of the world while also being encouraged to grief for what you feel has been lost. Once we grieve we can see new opportunities that are being presented to us.

Renee Baribeau had a profound experience that inspired this episode. We encounter countless people each day, moving through life at such a rapid pace that it becomes difficult to pause and engage in true heart-to-heart exchanges. Too often, we place labels on others—calling them ignorant, lazy, or mentally ill—without ever stopping to connect with them on a human level. But when we take the time to engage authentically, we tap into a deep well of truth, empathy, and shared humanity. Viewing others as archetypes or one-dimensional characters distances us, reducing them to mere figures in a virtual game, void of connection. In this episode, we explore what it means to truly see and honor the people we cross paths with, from a place of compassion and openness. Life is about connection. We came here to connect with people and all of nature. So if connection is what we truly crave it is time to start treating people as individuals who we can connect with in beautiful ways to open to the vastness of unique beings who all came to share something quite unique when they chose to be incarnated into this lifetime. Meeting people outside of the labels we give them creates a more enriching life for all of us.Join Renee and Sandra Ingerman as they reflect on this powerful topic!

With a world filled with trauma it is time to turn our attention into cultivating our Inner World. This is not an action to take to escape life. It is to build up a beautiful inner landscape where we can allow our inner awareness to help cope with stress and trauma. There is so much noise and chatter that people are no longer listening to their hearts and body which hold wisdom of how to navigate challenges with clarity and peace allowing us to be resilient. Our Inner World is a place to find strength and healing.  Have you noticed how many people are getting ill from reaching outside instead of within for resilience and strength? This is a time to listen to the wisdom of your body and from here you will feel safe no matter what is happening around you. For the only true reality is your life in your Inner World. So that is the place of safety for you!This is a topic that spoke deeply to both Renee and Sandra and it is a wonderful to start season 7 of The Shamans Cave!

Yes, it is comfortable … and the brain seeks safety.. but is it really? Within each of us lies this enigmatic inner strength, our Soul. From my perspective, this Soul force is formidable and embodies our individuality and core passions. It represents the essence of who we are—an intrinsic part that cannot be ignored and yearns for expression. Many people think this Soul force is unrelated to our everyday lives. I believe the opposite: to find satisfaction in our day and reach our fullest potential, regardless of our field, we must engage with and harness this inner power. What does it mean to 'work from your Soul? In my experience, it feels like tapping into a wellspring of limitless potential that is continually rejuvenating and vibrantly alive.

As more people get interested in the practice of shamanism more people are buying shamanic instruments to do their healing work and journeys. But do you know where the materials of instruments come from and how they were made. Today so many nature beings are being killed for modern day practitioners who don't know how to ask if materials were ethically sourced or how to take care of your precious shamanic instrument that will literally become your greatest friend. Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman talk about this topic of how to ethically buy and care for your sacred shamanic tools. And then Renee and Sandra let everyone know they are taking a break for the summer to both take a time out from working tirelessly through the pandemic and into present time. It is a time for a pause for self care and new visioning. Renee and Sandra have 6 years of recorded Shamans Cave podcasts. Check out our archive during the summer on Shamans TV.com!

With all the immense amount of information everyone gave on the eclipse there were a lot of people making predictions that no one knows if they will come true. Sometimes predictions about someone's life or the collective need to be given in ways that empower us to make changes rather than having a poisonous seed planted inside of us with no possibility of being weeded out. This causes us to wonder  did this happen because it was part of my destiny versus did it happen because someone planted a seed filled with fear inside of me.How do we learn how to be in service and tell the truth about what we are seeing while turning it into a healing story?Join Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau to listen about the power of healing stories and how they can teach and help us change by inspiring instead of planting seeds of fear.

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau  have been working very hard to be in service. And being in service is both of their passions and bring them energy and joy. But when there is no exchange of energy they both found themselves experiencing burnout.So many of us in life were taught giving is always better than receiving. But in this case, there is no harmonious flow. Without a flow of energy coming back the river simply runs dry. And that is happening for so many right now with all the stresses life is bringing to us.Join Renee and Sandra for this important show on making sure the flow of giving and receiving is abundant so you can have abundant energy in your life.

Renee Baribeau  has been talking about her journey ahead to walk the Camino. This led Sandra to think about how in many shamanic cultures the power of the healing often comes from the commitment you make and the sacrifice to get to the healing.At a time on the planet where a majority of healing is going on remotely there are things to consider. Remote work does work well as the veils between the worlds are so much thinner. But what gets missed when there is no pilgrimage to get to the healing?Join Sandra Ingerman and  Renee Baribeau  as they talk about this topic that some of you will feel fits for you while others might disagree. But it is always important to learn about different ways of working.

Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingeramn both received miraculous omens on the same day which were obvious signs that they were on the right path. When we are in the flow of life we can be open to how the universe is always giving us signs, roadmaps, omens to help us find our way or let us know to keep going forward or to make a different decision.Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman as they talk about how omens and signs let you know you are being heard and supported by the creative forces of the universe.   Please subscribe to our channel.

Download "10 Military Habits That Are Sabotaging Your Career... and Your Life"Sunshine Grace was born in 1976 in Sheridan, MT, and comes from Russian, German, and Scottish lineages. Her early years in Portland, OR, were shaped by the Pacific Northwest's trees and mist, fostering her deep connection to nature. Her grandfather Frank Nielsen was a storyteller, which gave her an appreciation for good stories. She attended junior high and high school in Mesa, AZ, where she was exposed to community initiatives on universal love and compassion. She joined the military at age 22 for housing and educational opportunities, where her mentors showed her how to follow and the true meaning of “first in, last out” leadership.She helped raise her step-daughter in Jacksonville, FL, where she earned her master's degree in research psychology and worked for large corporations for twelve years. Married at the time, Jacksonville became her first haven for safety and belongingness. Building community became important to her there, but this is also where she became keenly aware of her family's history of debilitating anxiety and depression.After an ineffable experience in Kenya in the Serengeti, she moved to Austin in 2018, where she began her emotional healing journey. In 2019, her health mandated an early retirement to focus on simplicity and introspection. In 2019, she began a four-year period of severe mental health breakdowns. Realizing that she couldn't do this life alone, she began asking others for help. Her friends taught her she could feel safety in removing her masks.In the middle of this healing, she was called by ayahuasca in 2022, which began a cherished and deeply intimate relationship with this medicine. Working with ayahuasca, life got much harder before it began getting easier, but she eventually started to learn how to work with this teacher plant. Sunshine attributes the wisdom from ayahuasca and unconditional love and support from her friends and family as her anchors on her incredibly profound integration journey. Sunshine continues to work with sacred medicines to help her continue to learn how to think optimistically, receive love, prioritize her health, trust her intuition, and look for the divine beauty in life's perfect design!Today, Sunshine is more peaceful than she's ever been. She is passionate about meditation, non-duality, redemptive love, authentic expression, honest relationships, the importance of ceremony for life's rites of passages, reverent use of psychedelics – and the Texas two-step! She believes it's essential to have fun while healing!Ram Dass, Terence McKenna, Eckhart Tolle, spiritual teacher Adyashanti, Sandra Ingerman, Oprah Winfrey, Gary Zuckav, Albert Einstein, and Willie Nelson are just a few of her most admired teachers.SummaryThe conversation covers a range of topics, including the speaker's experience with ayahuasca, the impact of trauma on anxiety and depression, mystical experiences, military service, and the transition to civilian life. The speaker shares insights on creating safety for others, the ethics of war, and the challenges of serving in the military. The conversation also delves into the speaker's personal journey of self-discovery and exploration of sexuality. Mike Bledsoe shares his journey from military service to corporate life and retirement, and his exploration of psychedelics as a means of healing and spiritual growth. He discusses the transformative experiences he had with mushrooms and ayahuasca, and the profound insights and connections with spirit that emerged from these experiences.Chapters00:00 Ayahuasca and Self-Discovery: A Journey of Transformation07:17 Trauma, Anxiety, and the Impact of Awareness47:17 Creating Safety and Personal Exploration48:13 Military Service and Corporate Life52:19 Transition to Retirement and Spiritual Exploration57:44 Profound Insights of Psychedelic Experiences58:39 Integration and Reconnecting with the Heart01:32:10 Supporting Veterans in Mental Health Recovery

Sandra Ingerman was touched by an article she read about a famine in Sudan. Grandmothers are teaching their children and grandchildren how to find roots and berries in the ground.

ALL of us can face hard times, even spiritual teachers. How do we navigate the challenges when we're already deeply spiritual? Author, shamanic teacher, and NDE experiencer, Sandra Ingerman, joins me for an outstanding conversation this Sunday. We'll talk about her (twice!) being struck by lightning, acting as a counselor to neighborhood residents ~ and even nuns ~ while still a child, shamanic initiations, how and why many of us take on the pain of others, of her many near death experiences (lightning! plane crash! drowning! more). Every human life brings challenges. It's part of why we come here, for exposure to the entire spectrum of human experiences and what we can learn from them. And yet it can become overwhelming at times. Sandra shares with us the healing power of stories and how those factor into healing, how we can find meaning in our challenges, the importance of spirit animals and what they mean, and the biggest mistake we're ALL making right now. You can find out more about Sandra before Sunday's premiere by clicking on her website, www.SandraIngerman.com And we do hope you'll join us Sunday, when we'll be interacting live right here in the comments.

— When we go through trials, we end up dying to some part of ourselves, and that not only carves us into a new person with greater resilience and capacity for change but also one who understands that death on all levels is simply another rite of passage. As we walk through the dark places in our life and accept our losses, we die to what the ego and mind mistakenly think is the best life path for us. The darkness helps us touch into our vulnerabilities, and each loss allows us to die just a little more, so that when life takes from us, creation brings something new into our lives. Any life form that stops growing dies. In nature, death is not an end. Death only leads to new creation, opening doors to new dimensions of reality. This is true whether we physically leave our bodies to engage in a new adventure of life or if we stay here as a polished stone ready to be kind to ourselves and be in service to all of life.

When we were pre-verbal we picked up so many cues around us that told us what we needed to do to be loved and cared for. Typically, these behaviors came from false information that had nothing to do with you. But you felt judged. And by feeling judged you might have started creating patterns that made you feel safe but were addictive and unhealthy behaviors.Now we are adults needing to put all our energy into embracing and moving forward with our destiny and life.
