does anyone else see the energy connections between people or these black orb like things? i think what these might be are the ends? of negative cords between ppl. Anyone out there see the energy links, hooks, cords, etc?

I was wondering if someone has ever heard of this and / or how to deal with it? Anyway, over the last few months, I've lost alot of weight and try as i might to gain it back, i can't. I've been to many doctors, and no physical reason for issue. So i started to meditate on it, and become aware in dreamtime when i feel uncomfy & wake up. What i began to see was when my solar plexus would react during sleep, i'd feel fear. Not reacting, I'd "scan" nearby, and often saw partial body of what looked like an alligator or crocodile. As i'd try to deal with it, it'd disappear or leave. It seemed to occur almost nightly, and ten i began to lose weight. I'd had something like th…

Something I found that's powerful and important to say. Most people on this plane are being interfered with to various degrees by forces they are not aware of - that are either consciously or unconsciously detrimental toward their development. You should not be fearful of these; but rather, firmly, explicitly and confidently assert your right to your own energy, power and free will. http://www.sovereignki.com/declaration-of-non-consent

Hello. So I moved to a rental apartment, that previuos owner was a very uncalm person as i would name him. The thing is the owner is still alive but he is not living here anymore. My relatives agreed to rent it for me. This apartment contains a lot of the old owners stuff that i cant get rid of for now. So this energy keeps disturbing me when i meditate in this room. During meditation silluethe of man would apear in front of me, recently i felt two of them. One was really unpleasant and i told him i dont want anything to do with him, and that he would leave me alone. Ofc i stop my meditations during those moments, but still can feel bad energy arround me. I would need…

In high school I stupidly touched a drop of my blood with some of a friend's. I don't remember why and I have no idea what type of effect this will have on me. Please help

I have a rather odd request. In my early days of shamanic learning, I was gifted a simple wooden box, obviously hand made, and well seasoned from the elements. Over the years, I have placed in it my tools of the craft. I lovingly call it my spirit box. It has served as an altar at different times when I felt the need to practice the craft. We've been together for close to 19 years now, not counting the year or two that I gifted it to a practicing wiccan. She has converted to fundamental Christianity, and returned the box to me. The box and I have come to the same conclusion that it's time for it to move on to another shamanic practitioner, rather than a wiccan. Bu…

Many things that happened during my ayahuasca experience where just as much worth mentioning meeting my spirit owl Okaga, getting helped from Mother Ayahuasca's spirit, aid also from Buddha. But one thing which i thought i knew so well what it meant but i couldn't get complete closure from my Maestro mostly because he spoke Spanish and i had a friend who could translate but sometimes it wasn't as clear as i hoped. Anyway enough of the backstory the meat of my question is, In the first few hours of the first ceremony we told we had to sit not lay, in about a hour or 2 later my hands started to feel like a gorillas. I was very sure that was what i was experiencing mind…

So, this question/comment has been burning a hole in my pocket for weeks! And I just have to wonder (and maybe never get an answer to ) why the Maker tradition is so closely related, at least in language, to ancient Toltec traditions as outlined not just by Carlos Castaneda, but also Ken Eagle Feather, Don Miguel Ruiz, etc.... "Intent", "personal power", "recapitulation", are words I've only heard of - until recently - in reference to the ancient mexican/toltec tradition. It got me thinking about what we *think* we know about our world history and it makes me wonder about ancient mystery schools and human evolution and pizza. It's more than fascinating. What are the …

I've read Makers don't really work with animal spirits. From reading and from my experience, I understand why one might choose not to. But I wonder, then, why there are several exercises that involve working with rocks. Why work with rock energy and not animal energy? I could extrapolate my own answers, but I'd like to know the reasoning of Maker folks, if people don't mind sharing.

It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that the reason humans are so predisposed to shame is intentional - both encoded within our genetic material and reinforced cultural, over time. Shame about our sexuality and desires has been instilled into us to keep us from knowing who we are. It is not just education and culture that should be blamed, but religion and faux spirituality as well - how often do we hear that what is base must be transcended for what is higher, or that individual attributes must be renounced to gain a deeper connection to the whole? Renoucing our nature as physical, human, animal beings does not, in fact, bring us any closer to true self…

Something I have observed over the years is that when I have a profound experience, I have to be very careful about how I share the story of it to other people. Some stories told just the right way in the right context to the right folks feel like I've actually shared the story without diminishing it. But other stories, when I share them, seem to lose their potency for me on a personal level. I find myself wondering if other folks experience this and why such a thing occurs?

Ahoy there! I am Melissa (though I don't tend to go by my first name online). Rae is a common nickname for me. Whatever mish-mash of my username is fine, too, if that's easiest for folks. I'll skip the rambling intro (for now) and just jump in with a question! I know shamanism as a calling often leads folks to working as a healer in some capacity. It seems practical (inevitable?) to integrate the shamanic into whatever work one does professionally. For people who work in "real world" fields of health and wellness, it seems pretty obvious how the healing might carry over. But I am curious how this might manifest for a professional artist (like me)? I like the idea …

Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all. I apologize in advance as this is probably gonna be a long post. ♥ I'm Kailah, but I also go by Chunji and Koala (by some of my friends anyway). I'm extremely new to shamanism. I'm doing extensive research and reading books to learn as I am unable to have anyone teach me. So I learned about journeying. And it sounds like such an amazing experience from what I've read and heard about. I was really excited to get started with it, and with my perfectionist self I figured I could get it on the first try. And when I didn't, I decided to keep trying. I had nothing for about five tries, and on the sixth this morning, I think I got…

In my experience I found that among those on their spiritual path there are quite a few that had all sorts of spiritual abilities but were not able to wrest control away from their mind/ego. Being able to do the latter is for me awareness - i.e. awareness of me being aware; for example being able to hear yourself think without being the thinker (Lots of "beings" :-) ). To me this ability seemed to be more important, especialy when applied to wordly encounters or situations -but seemingly impossible to do all the time. A Siberian shaman told me that in his tradition they teach awareness as the third step after first healing and then rituals. How do the Makers teach…

Im new to trying to practice shamanish. For my first few weeks it was going very well with journeying. The other day i went to meditate at my friends house and when i went outside to meditate I didn't feel safe spiritually but I didn't leave immediately. After about a minute of being outside i got scared and ran back inside and since then I haven't been able to journey. Has this happened to anyone else? What should i do?

Good day. I just recently discovered something interesting and though it would be a good topic to get some insight on. So lately I was spending a lot of time meditating in nature. Near lakes, plain fields, and so on. The thing is at the end of my meditations or my silent walks home I would encounter some animals, cats, birds etc. And encountered animals would notice me only when I would notice them at last seconds of my meditation. For example I was walking home today from my meditation, barely awake I would say. And I got so close to pigeon standing on sideway, that when i noticed him he was one step away from me. I noticed same thing with spiders too, they would ge…

Is it a good idea to make a sadness stone, or rock, just like an anger rock, but for sadness? Would one go about that in the same manner as making an anger rock?

Has anyone any experience with the teachings of bartholomew? What do you think of it? Substantial or not? Has anyone read the thiaoouba prophecy? What do you think?

Hello Everyone, I would like to mention that I am new to this forum and I feel privileged to be amongst so many knowledgeable people. Just wanted to understand about the hardships and problem one might face in a lifetime. Is it cyclic or its all about the decision we have taken in our lives. Or is it something related to karma, Last few month have been very tough and I have observed that the cycle continues with me no matter what and how I try to improve things around me. This has been life's journey so far. What should be done differently ? thanks Ash

Hello All, I've been finding that a certain repetitive conflict. Emotionally I want this, but dreaming energy, the long stretch says otherwise, or rather the driving force is pushing me to do something else. I haven't been able to see this and put in words until today. Knowing where my emotions are being pushed and pulled, and knowing inside of me that there is something not quite syncing in with me at the same time. It's quite confusing. What I do now when this comes up, I try to sit and not move until I can have a better sense of both. I'm kinda leaning towards the knowing than the emotions. any thoughts?

This would be cool if people could use this thread to ask there own questions, too... In any case, I have myself three totem/power "animals" (one is a tree, so I can't quite say animals--and on a side note I am having so much trouble looking up information about her, because everything is on animals, though she has talked to me enough on it so I'm comfortable.) and in one of my experiences my tree handed me a dragon scale. It was purple, and fit in my palm. I get the feeling of air from it, for whatever reason. I'm quite new to purposefully and consciously experiencing a shamanic journey, and I was wondering if I could have assistance in possible interpretations, or e…

First, let me apologize if this is a repeat. I searched the forums a bit and did not see a duplicate. I listened to a meditation for finding spirit animals. I have long been connected to wolves. I think that their nature and mine are very similar. I have always thought of my spirit animal as being a wolf. When I did the meditation, I found myself seeing two animals. One was the wolf, and the other the buffalo. I was actually fairly surprised by the buffalo because I have never felt connected to this animal really. I am just confused why I was seeing two animals. Was I not relaxed enough? Was I trying to hard? Any comments or suggestions are welcome as I am…

So I know that there are different ways to purify a room. Can someone writes their way and did you felt that thus way is for you ? What would happen if you used other way and so on.

The term "ego" is used a few times in articles on this website. What, essentially, is ego? (From a shamanic perspective of course.)
