Many shamans say that we are dreaming the wrong dream. We live with the
illusion that we are separate from nature, separate from the
spiritual realms, and victims of our life and environment. These are
emotional and mental toxins that poison our perceptions of life,
producing fear, anger, hate, and despair. Our inner state of
consciousness is being reflected back to us by our polluted
environment; disharmony causes disease.
To dream a more
positive dream, people around the world are experimenting with
nearly forgotten spiritual methods of transforming personal and
environmental toxins.
Based on the ancient principle, "it
is who we become that changes the world" Medicine for the Earth
offers deeply empowering ways of transforming our consciousness. In
the workshop we gather in a group to learn the basics of shamanic
journeying, to access the components of transformation, and to
co-create ceremony to transmute (change the nature of) toxins. We
work in cooperation with spiritual guides, divine forces, spirits of
the land and the elements while we access our own divinity.
We will leave the workshop spiritually prepared to bring daily Medicine
for the Earth practice into our lives, transforming and transmuting
our negative beliefs, attitudes, and the energy that comes from our
emotions. By creating positive change within ourselves, and bringing
our consciousness into a state of harmony and balance, healing
follows. As we repair damage on the spiritual level, the natural
world mirrors the transformation.
Sandra Ingerman wrote MEDICINE FOR THE EARTH in 2000. Since then she has
trained a number of individuals around the world—including
myself-- to teach these techniques of creative visualization,
shamanic journeying, rituals and ceremonies of transmutation and
transformation. (Link: www.sandraingerman.com )
