My brain made a practical decision that I would go camping this summer. It just made sense to do that before my coming two week intense of shamanic training.

Skeleton II

This life, ever fought for, sought for, sacrificed for, runs fresh in my veins, It shifts my body before the notion to do so arises. I am alive.

PART ONE: When the warrior finally reaches the green pastures and sunny meadow, when the warrior puts her weapons down, she feels the heat rise from the ground beneath her and lies down to rest under the high grass, smell of lyrical flowers.

After a Soul Retrieval

After a soul retrieval, a person can feel elated, buzzing with energy, emotional, having a sense of ‘being in their body’, a shift in physical sensations, a wonderful sense of groundedness. Of coming home. Home to self. It is beautiful beyond words. Directly after a soul retrieval, a person can also feel nothing at all. … Continue reading After a Soul Retrieval →
