ShamanTalk

It’s something I’ve been hearing a lot recently in the Facebook Group. ‘How do I know I’m not making it up in my head?’ “I can’t ‘see’ anything in my journeys” “Is it all just my imagination?” In this week's podcast, we discuss the different types of ways that you might receive your messages The four ways we will discuss our clairaudience clairsentience claircognizance and clairvoyance It’s easy t...

It’s understandable to want to help someone one in a bind. But what if they didn’t want help? Do we accept their refusal? Or do we insist on helping, believing we know exactly how to handle their problem, regardless of their desire to work it out themselves? A saviour complex describes this need to “save” people by fixing their problems. People with a saviour complex tend to: only feel good about...

Have you ever felt completely drained, depleted, and exhausted around a particular person, for no apparent reason? If so, you may have come across an energy vampire. And they’re more common than you think. It’s vital that you learn how to “draw the line” and set boundaries around these types of people. Without learning how to identify the different types of energy vampires in your life, it ca...

How do you know what your boundaries are? Not everyone does. You might not have many boundaries or confuse what your real boundaries are with what others expect of you. Boundaries are not about right or wrong. Your personal healthy boundaries are based on your own value system and perspective and might be totally different than someone else’s. This also means that you don’t have to explain or defe...

I had a difficult interaction in my life this week and it put me in a thoughtful place. I have also been working with Dolphin Spirit and the idea that both this and that are true. This week's podcast is all about perspective, our memories and how we can build emotional intelligence in difficult interactions. What does that mean for us? Perspective is important and it’s OK if people have different...

Dolphin Spirit “This and that are true” Dolphin Spirit is a reminder of duality. As the Dolphin is both a mammal and a sea creature, so too is Dolphin Spirit both “this” and “that”. Two truths co-exist, the story you tell and another as well. The duality of life is present when we are suffering, for there is a blessing too, in the helpers that appear. I often get asked the question, how can I make...

Empaths are highly sensitive individuals, who have a keen ability to sense what people around them are thinking and feeling. Psychologists may use the term empath to describe a person that experiences a great deal of empathy, often to the point of taking on the pain of others at their own expense. Here are some key pointers to Empathic Ability: Closeness and intimacy can overwhelm you You have goo...

So, I’ve been getting a lot of questions around fear. People seeing or experiencing things in their spiritual work that bring them fear… People who are experiencing intense energy from outside sources and don’t know how to control it… …Scary dreams etc. And people who are scared of their perceived abilities or inabilities when it comes to Shamanism or any other Spiritual work… …Especially people w...

This week I’m going to be talking about something that I see quite regularly and that is Shamanism for Shamanism’s sake or more bluntly: Using Spirituality as a way to avoid doing the real inner work that is required for us to make grounded, lasting change in our lives. This discussion has the potential to push some buttons and perhaps be triggering for some, but there is no blame or judgment here...

As Otter Spirit is calling us to look at our relationships in July, this week’s podcast is going to be all about relationships and keeping them healthy! ​We’ll be delving into what to look for in a relationship (counts for friends and partners!), is it healthy? Could things be better? Do I have good boundaries? A good friend/partner will: Show a genuine interest in what’s going on in you...

The Aminal Spirit for July is Otter Spirit: “You are never alone” Like true friends, otters nurture each other and express their affection through touch. Otter Spirit has appeared to remind you to experience and express friendships and relationships in a tangible way. In order to be an effective shamanic person, it takes focus. My question to you is – what are you focusing on? Where is your mind?...

We all have those days when we wake up and things just don’t go our way. Sometimes is best to get the head down and finish the day as best you can but sometimes, if we catch it right, we can shift our day for the better. So this week I talk about setting up your day. Get yourself in the best possible place right off the bat. Then I talk about ideas, tips and tricks to help you out of a funk when t...

When we’re called to walk a path of personal and spiritual transformation, it can be easy to lose sight of what we are going and what we are trying to achieve. Or perhaps we’re aiming for something that doesn’t exist? So what are we trying to achieve? Enlightenment? Always being Joyful & in Flow space? Being Happy? I’m going to burst some bubbles here… life ebbs and flows and when we’re happy...

This week I give you 6 steps and things to think about. We will work within the Drama Triangle map. Coupled with the Blame work from a couple of weeks ago, it’s a powerful combination for transformation and change! And if you’ve done the Drama Triangle work with me already (I know many of you have taken my drama triangle workshop) – listen anyway. This work is about layers and peeling those back....

The purpose of looking to the past is to not wallow in it, but rather to integrate it so that we can wholeheartedly embrace where we want to go in the future. Integrating the past is about deeply acknowledging what was and taking with us any wisdom arising from our experiences. All of us have had difficult or painful experiences in our lives, and some of us more than others. Having the courage to...

I’d like to start off by thanking the Spirit of Horse and the guidance and wisdom that has been gratefully received this month. At the end of Horse month, I did some intuitive readings via Facebook and there was a theme! Lots of people had decisions to make. So I’ve created this podcast to support us as Shamanic People to make informed choices and the Guides have given me a list of things to think...

Self-Blame: The Ultimate Emotional Abuse Last week I talked about Blame and got really into the nitty-gritty of that. I was speaking to a group of my students and they brought up the idea of Self-Blame. I also had some emails about that as well. So last week talking about Blame we focussed on blaming external people, thigs and situations for our woes. This week we will hone in on Self-Blame. I tal...

May is the month of Horse – Freedom is Yours You have freewill and are capable of making powerful choices for yourself. Powerful choices that will mean that you experience freedom in a new way. Escaping the Blame Game I had an interesting week… one of our family called it a ‘Blip in Harmony’. My big lesson was realising how Blame still plays a big role in my Psyche. I thought, and wrote, and journ...

May is the month of Horse – Freedom is Yours You have free will and are capable of making powerful choices for yourself. Powerful choices that will mean that you experience freedom in a new way. Finding Freedom by opening up to others Working with Horse Spirit will remind us that freedom of choice, personal responsibility and direct revelation are all key components of an effective shamanic person...

Today I talk about what the Shadow is and it may surprise you! I invite you to think about the Shadow side of Shamanism and also the Shadow side of yourself. Shadow work is extremely freeing and is also a key aspect in the creating of a great Shamanic Person! Most people have a hard time facing their negative side – especially those of us interested in meditation, self-development, or spirituality...

‘I know that I need to make changes, but I just can’t do it’ Sound familiar? Damn right. We all experience resistance to change. Everyday. So why not try to work with it, rather than against it? In this episode, I talk about different kinds of resistance and how to utilise the resistance to be a driving force for change. I also talk about understanding resistance and the different kinds of resista...

I’m often asked, “if I learn how to go on a Shamanic Journey & meet my spiritual team, does that make me a Shaman?” The answer is usually no. Becoming a Shaman takes years of experience and training. But being able to tap into the unseen realms and work with your spiritual team does make you a Shamanic Person! In this episode, I talk about working with Shamans and the things we need to look ou...

Graceful Transitions I recorded this episode pre-Corona. But I think it’s still relevant for us all. The world is in transition and none of us will be the same on the other side. In this podcast will look at some key things to think about that will help us face our life’s transitions with as much grace as we can muster. Anyone who’s gone through a major transition will attest to its hardship, but...
