Have you ever felt that life was knocking you down faster than you could get up? Listen as Michael and his guest Sandra Ingerman, one of the best-known shamans in the western world, discuss her incredible journey to shamanism, what shamanism is, and much more on this episode of The Hollow Tube.
Sandra is a world-renown teacher of shamanism and has been lecturing and teaching for almost forty years. She is an award-winning author of twelve books including Awakening Into The Spirit World, Soul Retrieval, Medicine For The Earth, and her latest book The Book of Ceremony. Sandra is also the co-host of the podcast The Shaman’s Cave.
Listen as Sandra shares how she found shamanism and why she dedicated her life to serving people, the healing methods that the helping spirits bring to the shaman, and how children are taught the discipline of how to speak words of power. Shamanism teaches that our thoughts act as psychic darts so you have to be careful of what you put out in the universe.
“Ceremony is the vehicle for the shaman to create change,” Sandra speaks about the difference between ritual and ceremony, how to learn forgiveness for people who have wronged you in the most terrible ways, how to forgive those who have passed and most of all how to forgive ourselves. Sandra shares some tools that we all have that can help us lead a shamanic life, but the greatest tool is to get into the flow.
Have you ever asked a tree if it was ok for you to sit under its branches? Or asked the tree about its life? Sandra says once you can open yourself up and commune with nature you will find a peacefulness that you can’t imagine. What we have learned from Sandra today is priceless, her shamanic life is one of giving, healing, and nature. You definitely don’t want to miss this episode.
