<p>I wanted to give the recapitulation as described in the article a go and see where I get to in two weeks.</p>
<p>Seems pretty straight forward but: How important is the energy compression? The choices "closet" or "heavy blanket" seem doable but a bit impractical. (especially in the summer... :-) ) </p>
<p>Is the process more a matter of intent than visualisation?</p>
<p>I read in another post that Eman advised to look at specific time periods in ones life. Was that a general or a person specific tip? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

Manifesting opposite of desires? etc</title><link>https://caveshamans.com/forums/topic/13775-shamanic-illness-manifesting-opposite-of-desires-etc/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
	Basically, due to a combination of many factors, I'm experiencing both a shamanic illness, and a <em>physical, </em>as well as psychological manifestation of gaslighting, the process of making someone question their own reality, I think this is basically my will and intent/energy working against itself, as well as energy working against me. I had a can of chicken noodle soup that had been on my counter for two days, become chicken <em>broth</em> when I opened it. My dad almost choked, and my mom fell. I've had strange encounters with people. It reminds me of this person point of view on awakeninthedream.com . I am experiencing something of a shamanic illness and am becoming empowered as I work on my will continually. These are strange times we're living in.

Stucked with wild mushrooms effect for 18 months!</title><link>https://caveshamans.com/forums/topic/11608-help-wanted-stucked-with-wild-mushrooms-effect-for-18-months/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
	Ok I'll be brief. I need help with the expulsion of some shit is happening to me lately. This thing, I think originates from previous uses of DMT and psychedelics in general. It has been triggered by wild white mushrooms. Not psychedelics, not any special thing, just common ones, a friend of mine picked them up when I was working in a farm and offered them to me, and I had them for lunch.
</p>

<p>
	The following morning I woke up with this little stinging in my spleen, which it spread with days in my stomach and liver.
</p>

<p>
	This has been some kind of connection with the ancestors of the friend of mine who offered me these mushrooms, I'm sure of that. The issue here is that it kept going for ever and at some point started the nightmare with this tingling shit I got on my hand fingernails (every time different one, like the thing is alive) and I'm sure it has been triggered by stress.
</p>

<p>
	I need to stop this. Any help on how to clean completely my body from this hell?
</p>

	Not sure how much I believe in the energetics of shamanism yet, however I know it works for people with these issues if done correctly. I have trauma, illness, and addiction. My addiction is to an herb which treats my illness. I have digestive issues that go away when I take cbd, which I can't help myself with. I've also seen the world interact with me in very strange ways to say the least. I have what gets called "mental illness", a primary one of which right now is "religious or spiritual problem". I've gone totally mad 3 times in my life, each with different reasons, my memories are only starting to come back after some very incorrectly done efforts. I'm very awake and clear compared to where I was a few months ago, but there were some rather dark times. The cbd, caffeine and sometimes nicotine or alcohol allies I'm addicted to along with the pharmaceutical meds for my illness had mixed effects on my process. It's become clear that I'm healthy enough now to return to work, slowly, but I feel I need the substance (except alcohol) to stay motivated and keep my feelings in check during daily life. My long term goal is getting rid of them completely. I'm somewhat christian, but embrace shamanistic and Buddhist spirituality. I know how to function with the drugs in my life, and if I can keep it up for just 1-3 years I'll likely be in a place where it's way easier to cut back. What's a shamanistic perspective on this? Can substances and their allies be of some use to me in my situation. I don't think I can go more than 2 or 3 days without cbd without gut pain at this time, not until I have a different diet, which I can't do right now. I've used them differently recently than I used to, I only drink as a reward for good behavior, only use nicotine when I can't power through on my own, and have had intermittent success cutting back on cbd and caffeine. I also recently stopped with a prescription stimulant due to a potential bad effect. I would say more,  but a surprising number of people spy on me online and I'm not sure yet what to do about it, until I have money that is.

<p>
	I've struggled with convincing myself to recap for years (decades? idk) and tried various solutions to no avail. I assume it's fear, but I haven't been able to pin it down. Recently, I started a meditation program that focuses almost exclusively on letting go. I've been doing great with it so far, and I'm tickled to get in real practice letting go, something I've also struggled with for years (grudges and such). I'm sure it's not as effective as the letting go portion of the recap process since my energy isn't compressed, the intent is different, etc., etc. Still, I think it's good practice all the same.
</p>

<p>
	Suppose I do this meditation technique, and it turns out to be effective to some degree or another at letting go of foreign energy. Will it be a problem when I recap later?
</p>

<p>
	Also, I understand that I won't be as effective with the work until I get my energy back. But will this cause problems for me during classes while I'm learning to do this stuff if I've let go of foreign energy but not pursued my own?
</p>

<p>
	 I am a new student to shamanism and I love it. 
</p>

<p>
	About a month ago, I had my first soul retrieval with an experienced healer. It was a powerful experience for me and I felt great the day I wrapped it up. However, since then, my moods have been very up and down and I’ve had a lot of memories from the past coming up and stirring me. I feel very out of sorts and depressed a lot these days. I was expecting to feel better and not worse! Is it normal for things to be a bit out of sorts before they improve? If so, how long does it take?

<p>
	Hy. I'm attacked by entities. The entities are some individuals from my past . They wanted to become demons. And they send me spirits of themselves to possess  my body and my house. They have spirit eyes in reality and have access to the room where i live . From reality they work and they keep this attack on me. The eyes used are called god eyes. And they also have their own voices here on my ears. What to do? What do you know about this?

<p>
	Hello.  I'm new here and at some point would be interested in offering some practice healings on a limited number of volunteers.  Is that allowed here?  
</p>

<p>
	I used to give psychic readings for a living years ago and realized I needed to step away and work on myself a bit more and find a better way to direct the energy I felt needed to come through.  Shamanism was the answer and I'm very passionate about the techniques I'm learning. It's humbled me and helped me to let go, allow, and remain detached from the experience.  
</p>

<p>
	If not okay, I'm still excited to be here and to learn and share in a different way.
</p>

<p>
	Thank you!

<p>How can one obtain healing from the other side like the Shaman's would (and do)? They go to the other side and communicate and get remedies. I have seen on primitive cultural shows that mention the spiritual leader. Can you ask certain spirits or what?</p>

<p>
	Hello,<br>
	a year ago I was in my bed listening to some music<br>
	I did some sort of meditation and suddenly I felt a discomfort in my throat like that feeling you have to cough<br>
	that moment I didn't cough and when the feeling escalated a bit I could hear a voice in my head saying:"Never mind it will happened to him as well"<br>
	coming from a person I had a really bad dispute with.<br>
	once the feeling in my throat sank I felt the lower back of my brain being damaged from what I call today "a Mental Snake Bite"<br>
	the damage felt like the snake's teeth are biting on these parts until I felt both of the sides being lost from my brain completely<br>
	It felt like my right side and left side brain are disappearing from me body like I lost all protection from god or perhaps being "banned from heaven"<br>
	I should mention that symbolically I had at that time a piercing of snake bite on my lips<br>
	After that event I can still remember going out to the balcony really nervous for smoking a cigarette while hearing crows yelling and I felt their vibration really vividly while experiencing the word "Lucifer" and hearing that same person I heard before screaming in my head like AHH!!<br>
	Ever since that happened everything has turned black all my joy of life has disappeared and I can sense some evil spirit haunting me all the time<br>
	at start he was nice but when time progresses the entity is becoming really grim.<br>
	I'm just an ordinary 24 year old guy<br>
	why the hell does this thing happened to me?<br>
	is there anybody out there who has the answer or had similar experience?
</p>

<p>
	Hi, a friend introduced me to the recapitulation exercise article on shamans cave. I overlooked the part in her email wherein she told me not to jump into the practice without talking to her about it first.<br><br>
	I set a timer for 15 minutes and delved straight into recalling traumatic memories related to my father and my upbringing. After the first session i did an immediate follow up about my mother for about 5 minutes. I rarely if ever give much stock to how she made mistakes. I felt slightly overwhelmed after. I told my friend i had done this and she told me in so many words that it was a mistake to delve into deep traumas right off the get go. She urged me to reach out on the forum and to place emphasis on what i recapped and how i am feeling. I recapped complex physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. I am not feeling any particular long lasting repercussions. I am at a baseline level mentally and emotionally.
</p>

<p>
	She said i should focus on grounding and not start recapitulation. What advice would you have for me?

<p>
	Hello Shamanscave,
</p>

<p>
	I found this forum after learning that another forum where I was a frequent reader (re: student) and scarce contributor had shut down. After a brief look around I feel peace and ease here. So, I think I might as well introduce myself as a seeker, by posting my question.
</p>

<p>
	I will try my best to describe my dilemma in brief. 7 years ago I entered into a long-term relationship which lasted 5 years. In the end, it turned out to be a predatory, narcissistic, psychologically abusive relationship that left me reeling at the end when I finally had the courage to ask my friends for help to escape, and those friends had the courage to answer the call. During that time, I was introduced gradually to all kinds of things, and although the relationship was a bad one, there were many events that put me on a certain path of spiritual awakening. I learned these things from my ex, and in hindsight now I can see that she strategically led me down a rabbit hole, starting in a place of truth, leading into a narrative, ending up in a place of controlling fiction. I'll try to sum that up real quick; introduction to shamanism, followed by introduction to Toltec sorcery (a la Carlos Castaneda), followed by a completely fictional story revolving around us, our past lives and soul reincarnations, destiny to be together as eternal fairy beings incarnating as human, purpose to cleanse the world of human filth, etc. It started off light and got very dark.
</p>

<p>
	I've been out of that environment for almost 2 years but I am still reeling. I did find much truth in my shamanic journeys. I also found truth in dreaming, and still do. But I feel like I am at a loss for direction. I guess my problem that I'm trying to present is threefold:
</p>

<p>
	1) I find myself no longer able to do a shamanic journey. I have every intent and interest, but every time I try, I cannot focus at all and most often fall asleep during the process. This has been the case since I left her.
</p>

<p>
	2) My support network of friends who helped me out of that situation, one key friend in particular, keeps pressing upon me the idea that Shamanism is just a belief system that keeps you tunnel-visioned in and unable to see the grand picture at large which has no belief system. (He has spent many years delving into connective modalities such as linking awareness and bodytalk) Which hey, to be honest that sounds amazing, but I cannot help but feel belittled just because I am where I am on the scale of spiritual development. Shamanic journeying used to help me to see the truth, even when it was not how 'she' said it was. I really believed in it. What's going on? Am I having some kind of "shamanic dysfunction" by allowing these thoughts of what she lied to me about, and what I might be missing on the grand scale, (in essence, the input of others) to intimidate me into impotence?
</p>

<p>
	3) Is there any kind of litmus test per se, some kind of ringer for truth, some way or technique or process that any of you might employ when presented with new information or challenged on a belief? How do you decide on what you believe? How do you know what really resonates with you? What tests do you put it through?<br><br>
	I should cut it off there, I think that's pretty much the long-and-short of it. This is my best effort so far to put this problem into words, although I'm sure it's still found wanting. Thanks for reading. I'm happy to have found this community, I'm sure I have loads to learn.
</p>

<p>
	Peace,<br>
	confilid

<p>Hello all, my first post so apologies if this is already covered (I have had a brief look!) or not appropriate for this section.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My family and another are in a period of great stress and turmoil.</p>
<p>My friend and her three children (2 of whom have diagnoses, both of my kids have these too) are to be homeless at the end of the month.</p>
<p>I'm therefore moving my family out of the top floor of our (not very big) house and her family in .... </p>
<p>This involves plumbing in a kitchen upstairs in what was my bedroom and sacrificing the use of our bathroom as Social Services insist that they have entirely separate facilities. My family get to use the downstairs 'cloakroom' and a currently un-used cold water shower in the outside cellar .....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Obviously stress levels are a bit high, and there is a huge amount of lifting shifting, moving and re-organising to be done for my own family, let alone for J and her children.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>J is extremely stressed, distressed and depressed. She has Bi-Polar and Fibromyalgia and is really struggling.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My problem is that I am an empath (to all extent and purposes - not as a new agey "Aren't I cool! I can sense moods!" sense)  in the case of suffering headaches, stomach pains and nausea whenever J has had a bad day, or spending the afternoon suffering at work and then meeting J and suddenly understanding - aah, that's why I've been feeling so rough ....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another friend is sending me some sage via her mother, and yet another friend said "I need to teach you banishing" .... but in and amongst the fact that we are trying to half move house, whilst living in the other half, and move a friend's household into this one .... I don't really have the opportunity to meet with either the 'sage' lady or the 'banishing' lady to learn whatever it is I need to do to protect myself and keep the strength and clarity needed to support J (and my family, and her kids)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Any advice for keeping myself safe and capable whilst supporting others?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks, Helen</p>

	I lost my ally last month. She and I were very close for 18 years. She died and now is buried under the cypress trees.  She kept me sane. Now, I am alone and things have really taken a nose-dive since. I feel out of it, ungrounded, uncentered and fearful of what may come. It is like the light has been shut off and in its stead a cold shadow has been cast over my heart and over my soul. I am walking as if sleepwalking and when I sleep it is a battleground. I toss and cannot find peace, even when there is nothing seemingly to bother me. My body is weak and wracked with pain. Day in and day out I find myself focusing on maintaining breath and posture. My steps are uneven. It is if soon I too will die - there is nothing to keep me here.<br><br>
	So, I've been reaching out to the world in true Eden fashion, will the answer come this time? Will healing ever reach my door and be accessible? Will I be able to move through this phase? And mostly criticial - where is my power and how do I get it back. It's been a very long journey for me. Last year I took a mandrake plant - fully - leaf and root. Mistaken identity. Things became clearer to me, but that is another post. However, my body as taken a hit from this I know. I am shakier. Neurological pinnings have been rendered undone or thinned in places where they should be thicker. That is how I perceive it.

<p>
	problem guys, if an entity has stolen your soul piece/fragment/vitality , is it possible to recover those pieces. I'm referring explicitly to dark force attachments here when i mention entities,(in my particular case i suspect extraterrestrial consciousnesses with an intent to steal my power and prevent me from self actualization within this lifetime as I am a star seed). Because soul loss is different, the soul pieces leave yes, but to somewhere safe, in this scenario,they have literally been stolen so my question is if they would be recoverable from a conventional method of a soul retrieval or journeying?
</p>

<p>
	And if you are going to tell me they can't steal, i am very energetically receptive and know whats going on , this message is written from a place of knowing what is going on with my energetic body, so don't try to convince me that my loss of energy is an illusion or something, because i can feel they've been taken, they are parasitic in nature and have been draining my energy for awhile.

<p>Hello everyone, I have had something very odd happen to me and it feels like my soul is lost somewhere. I had a Kundalini awakening unexpectedly about a year and a half ago, I wasn't trying to provoke the energy and I honestly knew nothing about Kundalini in the first place. This really opened up my eyes about what life is really about. I started to "feel" and play around with energy. My life was full of passion, energy, drive and an all around feeling of peace. I work at a hospital and there is a girl that I really like and I've only seen her a couple of times, but every time i seen her, my heart and soul felt like it was going crazy. One day I seen her on the elevator and when she walked off I felt this very distinct pull like my soul just jumped out of my body. After that, things started to go downhill. I feel like something is missing inside and I feel like i'm just here. I don't experience excitement with hobbies that I love anymore as well as the happiness. I still laugh but it's like i cant "feel" on the inside. I had a soul retrieval about a month ago and things have gotten a little better but very minimal. I am wondering if I may be an example of a wounded healer perhaps. I am just trying to regain my feeling of joy, happiness, excitement, love and more. I thank everyone for reading this and sharing their insight on what they think.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Colin</p>

I resonate with much of what is being offered in regards to self-healing.  Thank you for all of it! I do have a question, however.  Regarding "Stalking the Self" and issues of self-pity, I am having a challenge moving from the place where I can look at my self-importance (I can see that quite clearly) to "What is my responsibility and what is not".  For instance, the first time I recognized self-pity via self-importance, it was during a moment of someone receiving a very big gift where I did not.  It was palpable the self-pity I felt and I looked at it, looked at the self-importance and could feel something shift inside my belly.  However, I couldn't seem to make the connection regarding the responsibility part.  If I am not responsible for, in this case, this person receiving the gift, aren't I, in some sense, responsible for me not receiving one too?  As in being the creator vs. the victim?  Can you see where I'm stuck? I wish to thank you in advance for taking time to read this and respond!  I truly appreciate everyone offering their support here.  Much love, Pamela</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">7289</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Apr 2017 14:11:20 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Six Kinds of Loneliness</title><link>https://caveshamans.com/forums/topic/7230-six-kinds-of-loneliness/</link><description><![CDATA[
<p>Hi all, </p>
<p>in my recapping I've been coming across some pretty raw emotions which has left me feeling a bit lonely. Perhaps it's something from my past that is still yet unresolved and continues to need the layers peeled off, but I also feel this healing path to be a bit lonely as well. I came across this article by the Buddhist nun Pema Chodron and felt it had a lot of merit from a "shamanistic" perspective. Here's a quick snipet and the full link below,</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:18px;">"In the middle way, there is no reference point. The mind with no reference point does not resolve itself, does not fixate or grasp. How could we possibly have no reference point? To have no reference point would be to change a deep-seated habitual response to the world: wanting to make it work out one way or the other. If I can’t go left or right, I will die! When we don’t go left or right, we feel like we are in a detox center. We’re alone, cold turkey with all the edginess that we’ve been trying to avoid by going left or right. That edginess can feel pretty heavy."</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:18px;">"When we draw a line down the center of a page, we know who we are if we’re on the right side and who we are if we’re on the left side. But we don’t know who we are when we don’t put ourselves on either side. Then we just don’t know what to do. We just don’t know. We have no reference point, no hand to hold. At that point we can either freak out or settle in. Contentment is a synonym for loneliness, cool loneliness, settling down with cool loneliness. We give up believing that being able to escape our loneliness is going to bring any lasting happiness or joy or sense of well-being or courage or strength. Usually we have to give up this belief about a billion times, again and again making friends with our jumpiness and dread, doing the same old thing a billion times with awareness. Then without our even noticing, something begins to shift. We can just be lonely with no alternatives, content to be right here with the mood and texture of what’s happening."</span></p>

<p>I come from complicated ancestry. Ive lurked this site for years now and its the most legit and relevant I can find. My sister and I were born into natural gift. I thought until about the age of 10 that every place we went was haunted (and, really, they are in a sense but I was having very direct experiences) when I finally realized I was the the "haunted" one. We had little to no training growing up but I have quite a lot of book learning and am planning to make this the year I truly begin to hone my gifts. Theres a place on this website where Niteshad refers to Makers or shamans as "The healer that is always in pain," or something probably worded more eloquently but to that effect. That line has resonated with me for a couple of years now as I have felt, perhaps inarticulated, but felt that my whole life. For the sake of brevity however, let me sum up that there is no escaping for us. Wyrd, as I would call it, is stronger for some and while I was always they curious sister Ive wtched my other half struggle to ignore, escape or outrun our purpose for a long time. She is worse off for it. Forward is the only way to go from here.</p>
<p>This post is in regard to an earlier post I saw. The OP was informed that a free healing group is available (perhaps depending on circumstance?) to those who need it...and I fear I might. I dont underestimate my gift but I am humble and I/my family have so many people (I use that description lightly) who want to hurt us... Some mostly want our children. Now, on top of those truly dangerous who are already a daily struggle we have a lesser "witch" slinging unwarranted hate, spells and curses I doubt she even knows much about (yet dont underestimate) at us. Im steeped in curses old, older and new!</p>
<p>I dont think I have the knowledge or skill to untangle them all. Even the smallest bit of clarity or advice would be appreciated right now. Somehwere to start? </p>
<p>As an aside, I am very monetarily poor. I would have taken every one of the classes on this page, if it had been an option, a long time ago. It is on the to-do list. Its a long list on our budget though :\</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you so mch for reading,</p>
<p>Tickle</p>
