Through a Shaman's Eyes
One of the key components in shamanism is learning to see patterns in the world around us and draw parallels between those moments and our own spiritual and personal growth. Here are some of the lessons that I learn from the world around me, told in words and photographs.
Listening
To find the path through any difficult situation requires us to take a single, simple step - all we have to do is stop and listen beyond the distractions to hear the song our path sings.
Balance
It's easy to become focused on one aspect of our growth, but to continue our spiritual evolution we need to address all of the aspects of our path - including the simple concept of play.
Dying
When we look at the cycle of life/death/rebirth, one of the secrets it holds might be found not in what was lost in a person's passing, but what we leave behind in the life we choose to live and the connections we make.
Frozen
Much like the patterns found in ice, there are moments on our path when we need to slow down and simply appreciate the beauty of where we're at.
Center of the Circle
In the times that we feel the most alone and overwhelmed by the challenges before us, we need to remember that we're embraced by our Tribe.
What We Weave
When walking a mystical path, it's important to remember that our lives, our practices, and even who we are, is created from the energy we manifest and the web that we weave.
The Beauty of Our Dirt
While we desire to appear polished and complete to those who share our world, we often find ourselves exposed with the debris of our inbetween places.
