Intention and Connectedness 

Life is a dance. We are all connected influencing each others in our movements, moods, motivations, and mindset. 

We are all connected, may it be just by the fact that we live all together on earth at this time. We are all connected in our thoughts, in the air we breathe, in the water we drink, below the stars, sun and moon. Separation is the only illusion. 

When we meet people and go to places we are influenced by the vibe that surrounds us. We also affect others with our own smile, dynamism or any frequency we are in. When we tune with the frequency of an intention, we experience more synchronicities with others who are in a similar resonance.

What is an intention? 

It is something we intend to experience, to share, and/or to manifest. 

I would say that a goal is more a future external manifestation we wish for. While the intention is the real intend behind the goal.

We can expect to find happiness when we have the perfect relationship. Which is a clear expectation out of a goal. 

Or we can choose to focus on happiness in the way we relate, and how we nurture our relationships to find the ones that are most aligned with our values. 

The change in perspective is subtle It leads to a distinctive experience and perspective. 

Some people run away to find peace. While others choose to develop peace with what is and to bring peace along their way. 

I invite you to take a moment to clarify your intention and to write it down. 

A 28-day journey/practice (click here for Vortex of Energy Meditation) offers a clear guidance to manifest your vision with abundance and harmony.

We experience the law of attraction when we are in tune with the frequency of our intention in all five elements: 

The Earth connects us all. We are all touching the same earth at this time, we are together. 

Walking with mindfulness we activate the frequency of our intention on each step. The sensation of the earth below our feet reminds us that we are supported and connected with all living beings. For this experience I invite you to hug a tree and to visualize the connection in your touch, in your heart. Visualize the roots of the tree and your own connection to the earth, feeling this extension to all beings around. 

“The drums will always beat loudly in our hearts even though the noise of the world. Every time your feet touch our mother earth our souls will feel the pull of those who walked before us.” William WindWalker

The water moves within and all around us, connecting us through those molecules of H2O that circulates constantly. 

We relate together and influence each others emotionally.

An Introduction to Shamanism

There are many different ways and lineages in shamanism. Here, I am sharing with you a glimpse of my learning experiences and perspective.

Shamans are the people who use the forces of nature and universal alignments for healing purposes and ceremonies.

We find shamans in most of the indigenous cultures, such as native american tribes (i.e. Aumatas, Mapuches, Lakotas, Hopis), in some buddhism traditions or the beduins in Africa. They are the healers and in many circumstances the spiritual leaders. Their follow traditions that have been transmitted generation to generation for centuries. The elements are aligned with nature and the principles of life creation. They take in consideration the seasons, the native plants, the locations, the moon cycles, the astral alignment, the intention of each ceremony, purpose and conditions.

 

A sacred tradition

In shamanism all plants, minerals, animals and beings are considered sacred. We honor the presence of all living forces with respect and gratitude. This is why there is a strong connection with what people are calling mindfulness, meditation and law of attraction in the new era movements in the western world.

sacred plants in Shamanism

In most traditions the ceremonies are based on four or five elements. The shamans consider people and the environment as a whole, so all these elements are in direct connection and present in all ceremonies. In some healing modalities one element can be dominant while still integrating all the others honoring the sense of wholeness and connectedness.

 

Earth ceremonies

In shamanic ceremonies, participants experience profound healing, life transitions, reconnecting with themselves, nature and spirit.

With the element of earth the shamans help people to ground themselves. Some shamans heal mainly in the form of touch. Thus, effectively moving the energies in the body healing ailments. In some rituals the body of the person is buried in the earth or sand for a few hours. A clear pathway to breath is created for the face and head. It is a ritual done with care, nurturing and preparation. At the completion, the shaman will guide the process for a rebirth sensation; a coming out of the earth. It is followed by a bath with purified blessed water to complete the cycle.

 

Water ceremonies

As water is considered a very sacred element, we find water ceremonies in most traditions. The shamans bless the water with chants and prayers. Then the person will drink the water for purification. The benefits and healing properties of those rituals have been scientifically proven by Masaru Emoto. Emoto is a Japanese scientist who proved how the power of thoughts and frequencies can damage or heal water molecules. Some teas made out of hallucinogens and/or medicinal plants are also used for healing. Shamans often use their native plants honoring the spirit of each medicine to proceed with integrative healing.
