Awakening the shaman within
by Josephine M. Joseph

Shamanism is a vast body of knowledge that indigenous cultures accept as a natural source of healing. It has grown in
popularity, as it possesses tools that accelerate, activate and empower the soul's journey. The shaman tools fit into daily
life as easily as meditation practice.
The dictionary defines a shaman as a spiritual leader who is believed to have special powers, such as prophecy and the
ability to heal. All beings possess that power, as we each create the life we live. The teaching is based upon the
knowledge that all life is interconnected, as we are one spirit, scattered into many bodies.
Shamanism is based on the concept of a physical and nonphysical universe that can be accessed from a conscious state,
through a portal or doorway. While there, the shaman meets with compassionate beings who reside in the nonphysical
universe to heal themselves, the community and the world.
Many cultures refer to this realm as the dreamtime, as sleeping and dreaming is one way to enter the realm of spirit.
People who daydream slip into trance states. Albert Einstein claimed that day-dreaming may have been his secret to
creativity and maintained that his visualizations of sunbeams led him to his discoveries. What is great is that everyone
has the ability to attain such altered states of awareness.
Modern shamans use frame drums as a tool for achieving trance states. Intention and practice are key ingredients in
reaching and maintaining a focused state of awareness. The dream state is based in metaphors and symbols; it is
up to you to decide the meaning of a dream or a journey. Self-discovery is about having faith and trust in the
interpretation of these journeys, which are different for everyone.
Shamans use this technique over time, deepening and developing their relationships, while fostering the ability to
intuit and translate information into a usable formula for daily living.
Star light healing

White Eagle is a Native American ascended master who uses symbols for healing, attunement and transcendence. For
centuries, symbols have been used as portals to empower and enlighten mankind. All symbols have characteristics
imbued within the framework, giving each one a different expression.
At one time in evolution, we became separated from the power that created us. Symbols were used to assist mankind in
reconnecting to the essence and truth of existence.
Symbols are living, multi-dimensional tools that we can attune to both physically and spiritually. The star light symbol is
ancient and has been adopted by many religions and healing modalities. It represents heaven on Earth and assists one
as a symbol of unity and creation. The two triangles symbolize the idea "as above, so as below," signifying perfect balance.
Star light is how white Eagle refers to the symbol, as it is a source of light, power and love, and may be used infinitely and
unconditionally for oneself, the community and the world.
Sacred geometry symbols are used to activate power and increase the awareness that we are made of light and vibration.
The criteria to attune to this symbol are visualizing the symbol within the heart and above the head, as a source of power,
strength, love and creativity.
Through ancient symbolism, we are able to cultivate love, a key component in living an integrated unified life, working in
harmony and bringing heaven to earth.
Communicating with telepathy
by Josephine M. Joseph
publisher Aznetnews December/January 2010
All beings possess the power of telepathy and most of us have experienced it at one time or another.
How many times, for example, have you known who was calling before answering the phone or had the urge to contact
someone, only to find out they were thinking of you? Or perhaps someone asked you a question and before you could
respond, they picked up the thought and spoke your answer, both parties laughing at the "mindreading".
The reason behind such nonverbal communication is that there is a universal web of love that binds us. We are one spirit
scattered into many bodies which form this interconnected, invisible web. We are living in a time of relationships, and new
opportunities for transcendence are opening up that enable us to release the illusion of being separate.
As infants, we convey our needs through body language and feelings. As we grow up, we learn to express our thoughts
through written and verbal communication. We then reply upon theses skills to communicate. When we choose to,
however, we can reactivate the power of nonverbal communication through practice and intention.
Intention and focus are the keys to communicating without words. You can transcend the barriers of communication with
visualization. If someone asks where you want to eat, try pausing and, in your mind, think about what you want. Wait before
answering, so that your thought is transferred to the other person, and you will often find that they speak your
thought out loud. It is that easy.
Here's another exercise to try. Pick someone you trust to work with and choose a time to connect from a distance.
One person acts as the giver and the other as the receiver. Keep an open, relaxed mind and at the appointed time, send a
message to the receiver. With faith, the receiver writes down all thoughts, visualizations and feelings that come through.
You both will likely be surprised at the accuracy of communication that occurs.
We can use this method to manifest for ourselves, as well, by focusing upon our desire while visualizing the outcome. The
thought goes out into the universe and comes back to us in form. Indeed, telepathy is how prayers are answered.
When we trust the voice within and communicate with love, all things are possible. Knowledge through experience is
evolution.
