The wisdom you know you hear
in the deeper places within you
the resonances with the world
you know you notice
(except when you don’t)
The echoes beyond the facts
the hints beyond the rational
all of these are shamanism.
Shamanism is the native tongue of our soul.
As intimate as our heartbeat
as true as our breath
shamanism is that spiritual tradition that undergirds all others.
It does not stand in contrast or conflict with religious traditions
it does not oppose science or rationality
it is the whisper that hints access
to your inner ears
of the truths you know you know
(except when you don’t)
It is a path of access
a path of trust
a way of knowing that deepens all your other knowings.
Come sit by the fire
come join in the circle
see if it fits
see if it speaks to your soul.
Hear what your soul speaks back.
It’s much easier to undetsarnd when you put it that way!
