The Shamans Cave

To be able to continue walking forward through what life has to bring us and teach us we need to have our spiritual fire burning so that we have the strength to overcome the obstacles that life naturally brings. Everything that is alive needs the spiritual strength to walk through the fires of life. And that inner strength comes from your own fire burning carrying you through the dangerous flames...

In former times, before we had so much technology, people learned about life and were given a road map by listening to stories from elders. So many people had the opportunity to be taught from their grandparents about the challenges life brings to us and how to walk through the darkness without getting lost. This was an important part of indigenous life too as stories always helped to teach the co...

Life challenges us to watch as we perceive so many people and nature beings suffering and going through intense challenging experiences. People have lost their homes, their health, their rights for freedom, and the list goes on. We watch beings in nature suffer through challenges that humans have created by not being caretakers of the Earth.  A typical response to this is to pity those who we perc...

So many of us are doing so much spiritual work right now to find meaning in life, to heal, to grow, and evolve. In indigenous cultures when communities did spiritual work to create positive change they performed ceremonies, danced, and sang and stayed in their body while doing these physical acts. Today with all the guided journeys, meditation, sound healings, and so on people are having blissful...

Life as we know is not going to go back to normal. We are moving into a different time where our personality continues to be sculpted into our true spiritual identity where we can be a greater presence in our communities and in the world. Many people are trying to run away from life right now. And many are taking the time to do the inner work that helps us to create a new dream in the world. But t...

In traditional cultures ceremonial work can be devoted to for weeks when serious healing work for a community member or when a whole community needs healing help to restore harmony. Today it is rare to see modern day shamanic practitioners performing long ceremonial work and staying with the ceremony until the work is truly done for now. Renee Baribeau just led the I AM Symposium, and she had hund...

When we look at the cave art of our ancient ancestors and all the amazing petroglyphs that are drawn into rock walls and caves all over the world the art relates a story of the life led by our ancient ancestors. Art is a way to record our life experiences. Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau talk about the power of dance, song, and art through time that allows people and communities to move the ene...

Renee and Sandra have talked about loss in past shows as it is powerful initiation. As we end the New Year we know people are dealing with a tremendous amount of loss whether it is from the fear of getting ill, angry at all the  division in the world, loss of finances, health, family and the the goes on. Shamanism teaches that loss is a powerful path to a deeper spiritual life, a new way of percei...

As we approach a New Year we will begin to see predictions from all kinds of sources of what is to come in 2022. But is this helpful to us? Shamans are gardeners of energy.  And the seeds that get planted may never come to pass and might even create more challenges for us as we water seeds that we don’t want to germinate. What opportunities do we miss when we can’t stay in the present and see that...

As the holidays and New Year approach many people are planning on traveling to visit family. And so many have been taking online courses and watching  podcasts to learn how to find inner peace and stay centered and grounded during this most challenging time. Shamanism is an ancient practice that embraces that we all have helping spirits who can guide us and help us heal. This practice is over 100,...

We often focus so much on emanating love and light we forget we also signed up to be in Earth school right now. In shamanism the Middle World where we live is what we call Earth school filled with all the  lessons we signed up to learn. We don’t always love the situation we find ourselves in. But the shadow is part of life as the sun comes up everyday and goes down each night. Join Sandra Ingerman...

There is so much much fear and anxiety that people are feeling right now that it is in the collective field of energy. We have our concerns, thoughts, fears, disappointments about what is happening on Earth right now. Sometimes we  are feeling our own fears and sometimes we are picking up on the anxiety in the collective. Tune in to our show and listen to what Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman ha...

People often travel to places on the planet that are considered sacred sites. But imagine if you connected with the land you live on, whether in the city or country, as a sacred site. And to add to this you communicate with this sacred site on a daily basis so that a clear and strong vortex is set up between you and the universal forces to create successful ceremonies. When we visit what we deem a...

There is so much division in the world right now. And as Renee Baribeau points out in shamanism everything is energy. And for Sandra Ingerman the energy on this planet has been splitting off in different dimensions for a very long time. Renee and Sandra have talked about this topic before as this is spiritual information that Sandra has been passionate about sharing  since the 1980s. The forces of...

In the practice of shamanism gratitude is a building block to a good life. Without gratitude we don’t get to enter the flow of life and nature. Rather we are pushed around by life. Gratitude actually gives us a certain amount of power and control in our lives. It helps us to enter into the flow of the river of life which will always lead us to our destined path. No matter how life is getting you d...

There is an understanding in many spiritual traditions, including quantum physics, that we inhabit multiple realities. With shamanic journeying it is so fascinating to observe how we make different choices that impact a variety of future possibilities. We also have the ability to meet ourselves in the future. During this show Renee and Sandra talk about this most fascinating subject. Although we h...

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau did a show on the need to find ways to love ourselves in the midst of todays stressors where nothing is working as it used to or how we want. The changes occurring are to create the space for new growth and evolution to happen. Before beautiful blooming starts happening in nature there is a period of dissolution. And in the period of dissolution is opportunity. W...

Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman have been talking quite a bit about the frustrations we are dealing with as our infrastructure keeps crumbling to give way to something new. Many people today are finding themselves feeling easily triggered and often lose their temper at others in way that brings up feelings of deep guilt. It is harmful to ourselves to blame ourselves. Imagine all our little cell...

In this show Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau touch on the ancient art of performing soul retrievals to heal trauma. Sandra is known for her work in this area and wrote a ground breaking book Soul Retrieval:Mending the Fragmented Self which was written in the 1980s and is still a bestselling book. She has trained thousands of practitioners in Soul Retrieval and has helped tens of thousands of pe...

Infrastructure holds so many meanings as Renee and Sandra both learned as they recorded this show. There are so many levels to talk about. Renee and Sandra start by talking about how our collective infrastructure is deteriorating to make room for new growth.  And then discussion moved and and shifted into other areas of life that provide infrastructure. Everything in nature has an order and a stru...

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau felt that this was an important topic to discuss at this time. For many people are losing faith due to what some are calling the whiplash effect. One day you are told you are safe and the the Covid will be leaving soon. The next news story a few days later may say the opposite. So our heads are turning like a whiplash action. You think you are done and then you a...

People are worn out, stressed to the max, and feeling like there is not a clear path ahead. This is a time to honor our feelings and learn how to be in appropriate service to others. In the shamanic community we tend to want to give more than we received. But in this challenging time where everyone has their own journey to walk it is appropriate and necessary to create boundaries and honor and tak...

Both Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau have noticed that they are having with an unusual amount of water leaks. And other students are having the same issues. Although much of the planet is in drought there are places that are having so much flooding right now.  Water is trying to get our attention. Water held us while we were in the womb caring for us and loving us. We are mostly water and depen...

Social conditioning is so strong in our culture. Society hopes we will all just stay “in a box” and allow ourselves to be controlled.. Following our passion, being dreamers, performing shamanic journeys can make you stand out. During this time of so much change and crisis on the planet more and more people are turning to practices such as shamanism as a way to make sense out of life and how to liv...

At a time on the planet when what it is being called for in behalf of all life is to devote our lives to ceremony and prayer, people are fighting with each other and trying to force their belief systems on others. Renee and Sandra talk about how we could make a different choice and use the exponential power of ceremony and prayer to help support and protect each other. But human egos are just rall...
