Transmutation News May 2025

It is important to understand that due to the need for our translators to have time to translate this column I write it early the month before. So this month’s Transmutation News was written in the beginning of April.

I am sharing this as things in the world are moving so quickly, I have no idea where we will be in May. So I might be missing events I would have wanted to comment on.

But I do have a lot to share for this month.

One of my favorite practices in the practice of shamanism is wearing regalia when merging and being a medium for a helping spirit. This means making and designing a mask and costume that represents the power of your helping spirit. For me there is nothing like this practice, and I do teach this practice in my Teacher Trainings.

I had made a mask and costume of Isis in the 1980s but did not use it in the way it was intended although the work I did was powerful. But for my Teacher Trainings I wear the mask and costume to honor Isis and do ceremonial work with her for a few hours. I have had the opportunity to dress and merge as Isis 9 times now since I started leading Teacher Trainings. Of course, there are multiple opportunities to wear her mask and costume anytime I want to do spiritual work. But I have left this for times when I want to do the deepest work.

I once heard a Native Canadian elder talk about wearing regalia lifts us out of our humanness so we can fully connect with the world of the spirit.

Masks and costumes are used all throughout Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the list goes on and on.

For me wearing the mask of Isis is not comparable to any other work I have done in shamanism. Using medicine in my earlier years took me to places in the unseen that showed the true depth of my power. But to look through Isis’ eyes while wearing a mask I can’t find another practice for me that is as powerful. I think that is why I don’t wear the mask often as it is so special, and I don’t want it to become a habitual way of working for the work could lose its power.

When I work in this way, I am not a full medium but rather I see myself standing beside Isis hearing her messages, but the power is I can fully look out of her eyes and see what she is seeing. And to truly see through a spirit’s eyes is indescribable!!

This is all a preamble to some work I was doing in March with one of my groups where I did wear my full regalia for a graduation ceremony. With every group I ever work with, there seems to be a theme that Isis sees. That always makes me wonder about the magic that brings certain people together to form a circle in a training.

What I was seeing in this recent ceremony is something I think most of us in the spiritual community are dealing with. Isis saw the true power and light that was in all of us. But at the same time, she saw a lot of the spiritual collective curled up in a ball taking a protective stance.  

The message that came out of this ceremony is that we need to expand and let ourselves see, touch, feel, smell, and taste the entire expanse of life which is immense. But we have not taken our seat at the table of life yet. For we are trying to contract to be safe.

Through Isis’ eyes I could see this immense power and light emanating out of each person but the position people were holding was one of contraction.

 Isis sees these gigantic spirits in everyone’s bodies. But it was like we are bending over and contracting all our muscles to not let our expansive energy and power just flow out of our bodies in a natural way. We are holding our power and our energy. We really need to free our energy up and be like the river that flows back to the sea.

She was seeing such immense beauty and power being squashed in us. I guess this is a process we go through as humans on earth especially if we have been abused or trying to fit into the norm.

As a person who has been dealing with nervous system issues for a long time I had a revelation. In the spiritual community we keep exploring practices that have us raising our frequency. For example, in transfiguration the practice is to experience your inner light, the seed of Source, and emanate it fully within and without your body.

But if your body is contracted while doing this your body might struggle as the energy is greater than you are letting it expand out from you. So these opposing forces of contraction and expansion can create a true state of nervous system issues. For you can’t do both of these at the same time without a lot of stress on your nervous system. Suppression creates tension.

We need to allow ourselves to fully expand as do the great forces we watch in Nature and in the world around us. Think about the people and forces of Nature that don’t contract but are in an expanded state and imagine how far our own energy could reach if we felt safe enough to allow it to flow like the river flowing back to Source. The river never stops and just moves around obstacles. And this is a movement of true health.

I always teach in my Medicine for the Earth work that to let your energy flow is a state of health. Everything in nature moves!

My husband Woods practices the work of Ramana Marhashi. He has worked with meditation since he was 19 and has had many teachers and gurus influence his own work. He shared a story in a group the other day that Ramana Marharshi died at the age of 70. Before he died his body had a lot of tremors and his devotees were so worried and kept asking him what can we do for you? His response was: “This is what happens when you put a gigantic elephant in a tiny hut!”

And I just have to wonder how many of us are doing spiritual work to expand but shutting down our bodies so that they become tiny shaking huts? It is a new place of exploration for me.

But what I am seeing is no contraction in the forces in the world who are creating division, hate, and a breakdown of society. What would happen if we stood spiritually strong in unity to be a force of change? I have been asking this question for the 26 years I have been writing this column. I have always known what is possible.

We know there are so many ways to be a force of change of being active socially by protesting, writing letters, calling Congress representatives and the list goes on.

But what if we could harness some psychic energy and allow our bodies to expand enough so we can emanate it fully without number 1 hurting ourselves and have more impact on creating our desired outcomes? This takes tremendous amount of concentration, focus, and trust.

I wrote about trust last month.

Dion Fortune in her book The Mystical Qabala wrote some stories about getting together with a very experienced group of mediators during WW11 and how they could feel their work changed the course of certain upcoming battles and events.  

Are we standing in our full potential? Are we hiding so we can feel safe? What process are you in right now with your spiritual work? Are you looking for safety, are you trying to find more ways to expand be a force of change? It is a powerful time to reflect on where you are at in life and what work supports your health.

Some people tell me they are too exhausted on nervous system levels to expand. Then rest!

This is a time to choose how we can make a difference in our own lives and for all life on Earth. We did come here to serve and experience the abundance the Earth produces no matter what is happening politically. For our shamanic ancestors everything was about protecting the land.

Be willing to be transparent with yourself and explore where you are at and how you can put your foot on the gas to empower your shamanic work? How expanded do you feel? Do you notice you withdraw within like a tortoise in times of change?

We all say we want change. But what actions or spiritual practices are you open to doing in full expansion so they have the power to be a force of change? This is an important question to ask yourself and honor your body and heart and be willing to do the work that you can in health.

On my ride home the day after the ceremony I performed it was amazing to see the beauty and the expansiveness of the land was so nurturing for me. And to see how vibrant the colors are.

We miss so much of life when we contract. I am now committing to journeying and learning how to allow my spirit to fly during my day and life. I dance and do yoga and all those wonderful practices. But this is expansion on a level I have never seen. It is new for me. And I want to learn more.

Maybe we can once again become the giants of the ancient times that myths and legends talk about.

The full moon is May 12 which is the flower moon. Really make sure you take the time to prepare for the full moon ceremony. For if you really do the work necessary to fully prepare for ceremonial work you will naturally move into a more expansive energy. Stay in your body and stay grounded. Transfiguring into your full divine light does not involve leaving the body. You are doing this practice fully embodied just feeling the power of your true self become as large as life as life itself. And then as we come together as an international community all praying so hard for peace and all good things for all of life. We came here for all to experience the splendors of the earth, not just few. Allow yourself to find the best way to go as deep as you can into your own spiritual light that can never be hurt or touched but has the power to cut through illness and disharmony on all levels. We are one light. We are one force. We are one! We are the Seed of Source.

I am working out a plan with the Shift Network to lead a 3-month journey circle where we meet once a week for 3 months to journey on ways we can work and live in harmonious ways during this time. The group would start June 3 and go through August. The journeys are not planned. I will choose journeys before each week that speak to the work we need to do for the times we are in for each group meeting. We will have a chance to share in breakout rooms and on social media. And we work as a strong community to support each other and the planet. There will be journeys that have you be transparent about your own issues you need to be working on now as well.

This is not a course on shamanism. It is a practice group for people who already journey who want to see what we can do together in community.

Please note that due to my movement disorder, all online work I am doing is audio only. This includes the podcasts I have been invited to share on too. I have retired from video presentations.

I will send out a dedicated email when I have more information.

If you are looking for a summary of all the Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Light practices, they are all in my book Walking in Light, which is available in multiple formats. And if you are looking at how to perform shamanic ceremonies The Book of Ceremony teaches how to perform ceremonies, and I also shared ceremonies you can do for all we experience in modern life.

“Polishing the Path of the Soul” (my audio book) is one of the best resources I have for walking through these times from a state of grace. I was in such a deep spiritual place when I spent a week recording this audio book. I don’t remember a recording I ever did that went this deep or far or embraced so much of the energy of unconditional love!

Llyn Roberts and I wrote such a beautiful book titled Walking Through Darkness, and then I recorded on my own, “Polishing the Path of the Soul. Don’t be afraid to explore the maps I shared with you for walking through dark times. For those are the times we are in. With my book and audio you are provided a clear roadmap of how to keep walking forward, exploring the amazing territory of darkness and the healing it holds, and then how to emerge on a new path feeling empowered by your journey through the times we are living in and what you experienced in your past.

I am still consistently posting inspiration posts on my Authors Page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/SandraIngerman  and @ingermansandra on Instagram. I have been doing this for a year now and all the posts are still up. Reading and pondering what I am sharing is very inspiring. I hope you will check it out.

I love going to Shamans are Gardeners of Energy to rest from life and take in so much of the beauty that people post. It is my sacred space for getting away from the conditioned world.

It is important to me to know that I created these FB pages to give inspiration. Yes, I do promote as I do have new books, audios, and courses to share about. But my reason for posting now is to help lift us all up in these challenging times. I don’t care how many people sign up for my FB pages. I am simply trying to keep our community inspired and moving forward with our work- those who want some inspiration.

Transmutation News April 2025

I know people feel incredibly challenged at this time of so much destructive change going on all over the planet. And every change is a death and an initiation meaning something is dying in our way of living and a new rebirth will come with time and patience and immersing ourselves in our shamanic journeys, ceremonies, prayers, and especially working with nature.

As I keep sharing I don’t watch much news. But I do read some stories educating me on what I need to know in order to continue to be in service to my community. One of the stories I read lately is something I know you will appreciate.

I am not educated on the names of famous actors, writers, or singers. But there was a piece written by someone very famous. He apparently burned out as so many have done living a stressful life that does not mirror or follow our true destiny. He had a nervous system breakdown which is a topic I have written about in previous columns.

He took a year off from work and just sat and watched the birds and healed. He wrote an article about all the little details about the life of birds especially including the behaviors and ways of living humans never see, as we don’t take the time to look into the minute details of nature. We tend to focus on what we see on the surface on the macro level. This man spent a year looking into the magic that humans miss about nature and life.

What an amazing message and how inspirational to read of one man’s healing journey immersing into nature from a surface way of just taking photos or seeing some beauty and immediately walking on like turning a page of a book too quickly instead of seeing the hidden magic behind the words.

I invite you this month to expand your practice to take the actual time needed to spend a day or even an hour in nature and immerse yourself in its cycle of life instead of observing it or just photographing what the eye can see easily but missing the subtle ways that nature connects, supports each being, and communicates with all of life and connects so gracefully with everything that exists in life.

We can simply be outsiders and observers of life instead of immersing ourselves in it. Yes, there are so many challenges we are facing today but nature is inviting us to connect with all beings in nature who are going through life-threatening changes and we have an opportunity to all connect to each other and learn from each other like the creative forces of the universe intended. We are woven into one web and none of us are separate. Life can take on a deeper meaning for you and help you heal from the traumas of life by dropping in on every level to experience the deep healing of Earth.

We are watching so many people leaving America to go to places that seem kinder and a better place to live right now. There is a true exodus and believe me, I understand. I wonder if I was younger what I would do. Back in the 1980’s I was a recent resident of Santa Fe. I moved here in 1983. After I met Isis in a vision quest in the late 1980s one day she gave me such a powerful message. Isis used to give me spontaneous messages with information I did not ask for. She volunteered it to me as we developed our relationship together.

What she said to me is there is no safe place to live on the planet. She advised me and my students to find the place we love to live and stay there and face the challenges. This was at a time when I had a lot of clients asking me to journey on safe places to move to. And Isis said there is no safe place. Stay on the land you love. I wanted to share this during the chaos of our times when people are making some interesting rash decisions. Maybe this message will speak to you on some level.

And for my last offering for this month, I had a big lesson about trust. I am in a different place than many of our readers although I know many of you have had long-term challenges on all kinds of levels. As you know I have a rare disorder that keeps me in a lot of pain and without the ability to live life to its fullest. I have a hard time functioning in the ways I would love to still be able to do.

Trust was not a word I wanted to hear and felt it should removed from our language. Yes, I have been pretty triggered by something that feels “unfair” that deeply impacted my ability of what I can and not do to get through my day.

But at some point over this 10-year journey, I learned to trust without understanding the why’s, how, or having any reason to trust. I lost trust when I watched my father go through dementia. And I lost trust when I could no longer live the life I wanted.

Trust has a sneaky way of finding its way back into our hearts. For I think it is an essential tool for survival. When we lose hope and trust we lose our roadmap.

So here is a simple story about trust I would love to leave you with. One day I was cleaning out books in my office bookcase. Like many, I am moving a lot of my things along to others who can use them and enjoy them. I took out a lot of books I know I will never read again in this lifetime but would be wonderful for others to read.

After I was finished,, I cleaned up my space and it was all clear. The next day I came into my office and a pouch that holds runes was on my floor. Many of the books I gave away were on reading runes. Although I used to love reading runes it is not my path, so I have not read any runes in over 15 years.

So here was my old pouch with runes and one rune book I kept. I pulled a rune out of the bag mysteriously sitting open on my floor. And I picked the perfect rune that told me exactly where I was in my cycle, described it completely, and told me what to do!!!

I don’t know, for me, too many things happen in my day that show me trust in my helping spirits, the creative forces of the universe, and nature, is what I can count on. And I have learned that trust more than hope these days is the energy that lights my path.

The full moon is April 13 – the Pink Moon. Let’s immerse ourselves in the divine within us and outside of us. Life is a play and everything happening is part of a great illusion. But the divine is not an illusion. And the light that lives inside of everyone is not an illusion. It is the only thing you can trust in as well as the wisdom of your heart and soul.

So let us travel deep within and go deeper than we have to the light that can transmute all that is happening within and without if we made a choice to go deep enough and trust in our light like we trust the sun will rise again each day.

Let us merge our inner light together and emanate in a way that cleanses and creates a new rebirth into a life of kindness, compassion, grace, and unity.

Transmutation News March 2025

I know most of us are reeling from one chaotic moment to the next and losing a sense of how to ground from all the chaotic feelings we are experiencing. This is a very tough time for so many in our international circle. The challenges now are everywhere, not just in America. Although America is certainly creating its share of chaos for the entire planet!

But I want to talk about working with chaotic energies for they are so prevalent now throwing us all off center.

I am on Facebook. And when the election results were in there was a mass exodus off of Facebook as people left in protest. I did not want to be on Facebook anymore either. But I stayed on for I could share inspiration and healing posts to try and help people shift their perspective and just move back to a place of sanity that so many people lost.

But what happened at least with Facebook is people left immediately before thinking things through. So now we have a spiritual community that is so split into different social media platforms that no one knows how to find community and friends.

And this is the point I am making. Don’t act before really considering the consequences for your choices. We all need to spend more time in nature. This is a time where so much change and chaos is flooding our field of energy that we need to make sure to use every practice we know to get back into a place of center. We desperately need to center ourselves right now.

I know it seems trivial to read but I keep sharing the same statement I wrote in my second book Welcome Home:

In challenging times:

Stay focused

Stay positive

Stay centered

I am having my own challenges not with just what is going on in the world, but I am looking at the grief of aging and all I can’t do anymore. Every change we experience in life is a death. We have a collective death going on right now with the changing energies we are facing. And then we have our personal initiations and dismemberments going on that lead us to so much change. Many of my students feel like they are dying without understanding how much change has to happen on every level of our being when we live in chaos and stress.

We are all being resculpted on so many levels for the coming times.

How I am working successfully is by only asking my heart and body for what they are feeling and what they need. The racing mind is just to distract us from not feeling safe on some level. Every therapist and nervous system program will teach you this.

Going into nature and refocusing on the beauty of life is healing instead of the darkness of different dimensions colliding at the same time. There are so many dimensions of reality we are creating right now we really need to choose what reality we want to live in. I wrote about this for years in the Transmutation News. Isis kept reminding us that if we keep jumping back and forth between the reality of what we want to experience and the nightmare of other realities we might end up getting stuck in the wrong one.

I am not trying to create fear in anyone including myself. But I will say it is time to focus on what you are grateful for and spending more time focusing on the beauty of life instead of the traumas that are going on all around us. Yes many of us are facing losses on every level – from housing, jobs, health, loved ones dying and in poor health. The challenges of today feel truly brutal to our sensitive hearts. But our soul is strong and has all the resilience we need to thrive and not just survive.

As many of you know I have been dealing with a very rare disorder that has no cure.  I have been dealing with this for 10 years. And I have learned so much about walking the road of life while being in pain and finding ways to still work, connect with friends, and most of all I am still in awe of the beauty I see in nature every day.

Today as I am writing this newsletter I am having terrible computer issues, but a bobcat just walked by my window, and that omen to me means the helping spirits know I am being challenged and are sending help. It took me years to learn whenever I see bobcat at my house I am being given a sign that everything will be ok.

So I know where some of you are- trust me I know. And what I have learned is trust is one of the most important tools we have. For if we trusted our helping spirits to get us this far why do you feel they can’t keep helping us now?

And are we all aware of the positive changes that are going on behind the veil of chaos of the new illusory play that is being enacted for the entire world to see the craziness we created with our own consciousness?

Time to shift our consciousness to a new act in the play. And you need to choose that next act that you want to take the role for. What role do you want to play? The victim hiding in isolation and crying? Living in fear all day? Or remembering you are a seed of Source who came here to learn how to be a human in the world of spirit. You are Spirit! You are the Divine!

If you forgot this it is time to get back into deeper work by spending more time reviewing your spiritual practices and spending time in nature. You have learned so many practices from me and other teachers. Sit down and reflect on the most potent practices that changed your consciousness and your health on every level and focus on just a few of these. Don’t overwhelm yourself trying to do too many spiritual practices at the same time for they all lead you to the same place. So focus on what has worked for you over the years.

I have been inspired to read Medicine for the Earth again as it is the most esoteric book I wrote that can help myself and all of us get through these times with grace. I want to deepen the practices I have been doing for over 40 years. They brought me to a great place in life, not without huge initiations and struggles, but I healed so much, learned so much, grew so much, and evolved and helped others to do the same. And now like the old shamans and alchemists did it is time to take the work to a completely new level.

My prayer is you are all willing to do the same.

The full moon is March 14. The full moon is a wonderful time where for so many years now we have worked as one international circle to emanate the beautiful divine light from our spirit inside. As we do this we do bring more light and love into the energy field within and around our bodies and the planet itself.

This is a time to keep deepening our work. Try another way to transfigure on the full moon this month and see if it can take you deeper into emanating your light like the stars, the moon, the galaxies, and the sun do for us. Let us meet the power of their light.

If you are a new reader of the Transmutation News, please read Creating a Human Web of Light on the homepage.

And yes on March 21, we do greet a seasonal shift to our cycle of life and enter into the time of spring/fall depending on where you live. The equinox reminds us of the balance of the light and the dark. And that our cycles will always shift as nature does every year.

To welcome in a new season of life perform a ceremony of greeting a new time with gratitude for what you learned during the winter or summer. Let go of the hopes and dreams that did not manifest for you and imagine sweeping what does not work for you out of your internal home and the house where you live.

I always recommend doing a shamanic journey where you merge with the Earth to feel the changes that the land you live on is experiencing. It does not matter whether you live in the city or country. The earth is changing inside of you and outside of you no matter what environment you are in. This is a way to find balance. When you truly feel the energetic changes of spring/fall you can find balance in your own body which we all need right now.

Feel the changes in the air – the humidity and how the winds are changing. Feel how the waters where you live are changing. Notice the changes in the sun and the night sky. Connect fully back to yourself and elements to feel yourself become one with Nature again and how it is shifting according to its own natural cycle.

And then we plant the seeds for a good spring and summer or let go of what needs to be shed back to the Earth to be composted in fall and winter.

And life keeps going on and changing as it has throughout time. We simply spiral through different cycles.

I hope all of you will stand strong together and know whatever we are seeing right now our future changes by the changes in our behavior and our actions in the present.

I wish you a joyous spring or fall and may we remember that we came here to learn about how to love!

“Polishing the Path of the Soul” (my audio book) is one of the best resources I have for walking through these times from a state of grace. I have not received a lot of reviews for my audiobook “Polishing the Path of the Soul”. But the ones I did get are so good I am doing the program again, and it is great. I was in such a deep spiritual place when I spent a week recording this audio book. I don’t remember a recording I ever did that went this deep or far or embraced so much of the energy of unconditional love!

Llyn Roberts and I wrote such a beautiful book titled Walking Through Darkness, and then I recorded on my own “Polishing the Path of the Soul”. Neither of these are selling well now. And I have so many people reading this column and on my email list. Don’t be afraid to explore the maps I shared with you for walking through dark times. For those are the times we are in. With my book and audio you are provided a clear roadmap of how to keep walking forward, exploring the amazing territory of darkness and the healing it holds, and then how to emerge on a new path feeling empowered by your journey through the times we are living in and what you experienced in your past.

I am still consistently posting inspiration posts on my Authors Page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/SandraIngerman  and @ingermansandra on Instagram. I have been doing this for a year now and all the posts are still up. Reading and pondering what I am sharing is very inspiring. I hope you will check in.

And don’t forget to visit our Shamans are Gardeners of Energy Facebook page to post inspirational stories and images and also to be uplifted by what our community is sharing. To join the Facebook group Shamans Are Gardeners of Energy, go to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/991720834662313. The password is “Transfiguration”. “

I love going to Shamans are Gardeners of Energy to rest from life and take in so much of the beauty that people post. It is my sacred space for getting away from the conditioned world.

It is important to me to know that I created these FB pages to give inspiration. Yes, I do promote as I do have new books, audios, and courses to share about. But my reason for posting now is to help lift us all up in these challenging times. I don’t care how many people sign up for my FB pages. I am simply trying to keep our community inspired and moving forward with our work- those who want some inspiration.

Renee Baribeau and I are excited to be back on The Shamans Cave. We are doing audio only. For more information, please visit www.ShamansTV.com. We are having a wonderful time being back!

After one of the webinars I taught last year I connected with a wonderful woman who registered for my class. We became fast friends and have kept in touch. After the election results were announced Kristen wrote an amazing book of poetry:

Kristen Mägis

One Moment, One Chance, Always: Finding Hope in Despair

We face numerous cataclysmic crises that are fomenting anarchy and creating fear and despair.  However, spirit calls to us as beings of light.  We are invited to remember who we are, why we are here and what gifts we bear.  The threat is real, but it cannot triumph over beings of light who stand as one.

Order from IngramSpark.

I have this amazing student Jacirendi who studies different traditions from all around the world – not just about shamanism but a true wealth of subjects around herbs, symbols, medicine dolls and the list keeps going on and on.

She recently shared a post of a free webinar given by a Finnish group who work with healing teas and plants and teas from the Arctic. I had gotten the flu that was going around. And I could not stop drinking tea with all kinds of honey from around the world. And if I could, I would move to the Arctic as I love the dark, cold, and ice. That is where I feel the best and where my body thrives.

So you can imagine my excitement when I saw this invitation. And due to how it was written I wanted to put in the entire advertisement for the free webinar which of course I signed up for. In this way you can truly see all that is being offered. The webinar is being recorded if you cannot attend live.

Thank you for registering for the webinar, Tea Cultures of the North: Connecting to the Plant Wisdom of the Arctic, with Åsa Andersson Martti, Katja Misikangas, and Martyna Vengrytė on Wednesday, 19 March 2024, from 3–5pm, Helsinki time. A link to a recording of the seminar will be sent to everyone after March 19th.

Gifts from the forest come to us in diverse forms including as wild healing teas gathered across the Northern seasons as part of land-based cultural traditions. This seminar will connect the idea of forest sentience to the detoxification, rejuvenation, and healing of people, plants, and places. 

With diverse backgrounds in phytochemical research, Indigenous Sámi culture, and natural products design, our speakers will share their knowledge of the curative attributes of angelica, coltsfoot, Labrador tea, nettle, northern sweetgrass, roseroot, willow, and other northern species. 

You can learn more about our speakers and their work by visiting the following:

The webinar flyer is attached for circulation. And here is the seminar webpage:

The Zoom details will be sent to everyone on Monday, 17 March 2025 at 5pm, Helsinki time. About three weeks before the seminar, we will also send you some recommended readings and resources. 

Please encourage your friends, colleagues, family members, and students to register for the seminar by emailing: sentientforestproject@gmail.com

Many thanks, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday the 19th of March!

All the best,

John C. Ryan and Francis Joy

Presentation 1 Title: Spring Immunity Teas of Sápmi

Åsa will discuss important spring immunity teas of the Torne Valley region in northern Sweden including the forests and meadows of the Kiruna and Lainio areas. After a long winter, spring is when both people and animals are their weakest. At this time, everyone is waiting eagerly for the lifesaving green helpers to begin sprouting. Especially powerful immune teas include coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara), used medicinally by Sámi and Tornedalian people to treat coughs and flus, as well as willow (Salix spp.) for flu headaches. In contrast to fresh wild teas, “dry teas” are harvested the year before. In Lainio, people smoked dried coltsfoot and willow for super fast healing effects.

Åsa Andersson Martti is an Indigenous Sámi and Tornedalian artist, healer and academic researcher. Åsa has studied landscaping, psychology, religion, rhetoric, dreams, traditional Chinese medicine, and Sámi traditional healing practices. She is founder of the historical and animistic pilgrim trail ‘Sámi Trail of Tears’ based on her mother’s childhood memories.

Presentation 2 Title: Phytochemical Profiling and Biological Activities of Rhododendron Subsect. Ledum: Exploring the Medicinal Potential of Labrador Tea in the Northern Hemisphere

Transmutation News February 2025

I am a therapist with 3 licenses. I have a LPCC and a LFMT license in NM. I am also a member and listed on a national organization The Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. I was given this certification due to my book Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self. I did not do extra work to be accepted by the organization.

I studied trauma work for so many years. Recently I discovered how severely impacted my own nervous system became by stress and trauma in my life. And at the age of 72 it has all caught up to me. You can only compensate how you live your life for so long and then your body says “No!”. We know this is the most popular subject being addressed in the world of therapy and in spiritual practices.

It is truly amazing to see the new evolution of therapy and is being addressed. Times keep changing and new opportunities are always being given to us.

My parents grew up in the era of the depression in the U.S. My mother had a genius IQ but was forced to drop out of high school to work and also take care of my grandmother. Both my parents were some of the most psychic people I have met.

When I asked my mom about her psychic abilities her response to me was in her time life was about survival and there was not a space for her to work with spiritual practices. I understood – just a different time on planet Earth. My mom was the first generation born of my family born in the U.S. Life was not about exploring a spiritual path. She had holes in the soles of her shoes, and if she could find a way to get a peanut butter sandwich for lunch that is all she cared about.

Through time opportunities grew more for people to work on themselves and also to focus on their own spiritual path. I do know how many people are still trying to survive. I am talking about the general collective where the doors for practicing spiritual work flung open as wide as possible and started to create unlimited opportunities for people to experiment and find new ways to live life.

I grew up in the drug culture of the 60s and all we wanted to do was to explore Love and Oneness!

When I went for my master’s in counseling psychology, I studied the work of Roberto Assagioli and Pyschosynthesis, Bioenergetics, the work of Otto Rank, Gestalt Therapy, NLP, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Rogerian Therapy, and therapies like this.

There was so much brilliance in the work!!

I gave up my traditional therapy practice (keeping up my CEUs for my licenses) for shamanic healing work. For I found it so powerful. Especially once I brought Soul Retrieval into my work everything changed. For so many clients do not do well in therapy as the therapist is talking to a client who is not home.

And now in the last few years this statement that I made back in the 1980s is a big understanding in the therapy world, hence the introduction of nervous system work to bring people back into their body again, like we do with the healing practice of Soul Retrieval.

And what all nervous system programs have in common is teaching practices to come back and be present in the body. But a lot of the deep work is looking at how when we were born, we started being conditioned away from the destiny we came here to fulfill. And a key to the work going on today is finding your purpose in life and remembering you are an Adult now and that you are part of Source and a Spirit that can’t be harmed.

As you are reading this month’s column you are being reminded of some of the core practices of the Medicine for the Earth work. You are a divine spirit who looked down on this earth before you were born and decided on a life purpose.

I don’t want to make this column too long as I find people like to read shorter newsletters these days. We are overloaded with information.

I do need to take you back to the early 1990s when I wrote my book Welcome Home. I introduced the practice of Soul Remembering based on a teaching my helping spirit gave me while performing a Soul Retrieval on a client. My helping spirit said my client did not need a Soul Retrieval. He needed a Soul Remembering as he forgot his purpose in life.

Soul Remembering became a huge part of my practice and for awhile I focused on this practice more than I performed Soul Retrievals.

I went on to write about it in A Fall to Grace, Medicine for the Earth and Walking in Light as I saw the importance in healing people from their conditioned life.

The key principle of Soul Remembering is seeing yourself at the time you were choosing to incarnate. You looked down on this great Earth and saw beauty and colors and saw this was a planet of senses. Here you can hear amazing sounds, smell amazing fragrances, taste chocolate and amazing foods, see beauty, feel textures and emotions.

And then you enter a family, and a world filled with authority figures projecting expectations onto you—how you should look, behave, and what you should achieve in life. Along the way, you may have lost touch with your passion and true purpose.

You felt such excitement to start this new adventure on Earth with a decision to be creative in some way carrying a true passion and life purpose in your soul as you greeted the Earth.The principle of Soul Remembering is a principle that is core to all nervous system work. As Victor Frankl wrote in his powerful book Man’s Search for Meaning, the way people got through life in a concentration camp was remembering what had meaning for them in life. Those who could not hold on to meaning did not survive.

So today there are endless programs to help deconstruct the identities that were projected onto us. Now people are being asked to explore deeply, why are you here? What gives you meaning, passion, joy, and purpose?

There is so much to nervous system work today, and I love what is being shared and how people are healing from impossible diseases and disorders. It is amazing and inspiring to watch.

In this newsletter I just wanted to focus on Soul Remembering and that this is the work people are doing now in all traditions to heal.

For this work it is actually quite simple as I teach it. I do teach it to shamanic practitioners to include in their shamanic work. And if you want to work with a practitioner, I trained to perform this practice in your behalf please visit www.shamanicteachers.com.

You can also do this work for yourself by performing a journey or meditation. Set your intention to be shown your spirit looking down on this great Earth before you were born. What called you here? What were you excited about doing, what meaning did you see, what did you see as your life purpose before you were told by others who you are, and why you are here?

This is an amazing practice to do for yourself or have someone perform for you. The power in doing it for yourself is getting for yourself your soul’s purpose. The power of having this performed by a shamanic practitioner is the gift of truly being seen for who you are beyond your conditioning. And this is healing for so many.

When I was just a little girl, I actually had the realization that I was never going to be seen for who I was. What an insight to get, being so little!

Try this practice and don’t give up. There is another way for you to live your life that will bring healing, joy, deeper and healthy connections with others, and a path to follow. And it is your unique path! But it is the true gift of life as we enter the Earth arena where we are living lives, caught in so many illusions and forgetting we are Spirit and the seeds of Source.

We have the opportunity to celebrate the full moon together on February 12. This moon is called the Snow Moon, and I love the sound of that!

This is a special time where we have the love of our international community to connect our hearts and inner light together like the brightest shining star in the cosmos emanating light within and throughout every corner of our great Earth. Drop the role you took on at birth and let your body go and your thoughts take flight for awhile and travel deep within to find that seed of Source light within you and let it grow, let it grow and emanate until the entire planet is one shining ball of light with you shining on it.

Transmutation News January 2025

We hold hands as a loving circle and walk forward in our true identity as Source, and with our soul having the knowledge of the roadmap of life.

We also together greet the 26th anniversary of the Transmutation News. It is amazing. We started in 2000 with Sylvia Edwards offering to set up a website for me. Before that a dear friend published my columns on a Fall to Grace. Bob Edgar put this newsletter up each month after I faxed him a handwritten copy, and it would appear on Carol Proudfoot Edgar’s website. So I have been writing this column for actually 28 years now.

And as I keep saying I have not written anything that is that much different in 28 years as we have been facing one challenge on Earth after another. But the point of our journey through life is to recognize we chose to be born at certain times to enter a certain play going on the planet. Our ego says, “No I never chose that”. But if you did not choose to be here, I wonder how you got here?

When I first began teaching Medicine for the Earth, I posed the question to participants that children being born now will have evolved to a place where they can survive on a planet filled with toxins just ready to be transmuted into pure light that feeds the Earth and all of life. I was reading articles about children born with more complex organs to handle toxins.

This prediction did not manifest at least in present times, as children are coming in already ill from the toxins passed down through their parents and ancestors.

But we know everything can be transmuted to light. The key is using intention + love + union + harmony + concentration + focus + and imagination.

If you need a review of this work, please look at my books Medicine for the Earth and Walking in Light.

The practice of transmutation takes a lot of commitment, practice, intention, and concentration. And if you are not willing to open and expand your imagination to dream bigger things than your ego can then I do not know how successful you will be. Your intention must be clear, and you must do all the work to prepare so that you are in a state of harmony and have filled all your cells with the light of your own Spirit.

If you do this work day in and day out and then minute to minute life will seem much different. You do this work as you breathe, eat, drink, speak, walk, work. This work is not something you do it is who you are and who you become in our big vast collective where many people are feeling insignificant and very small right now. And you need to know that this is not you and not true and it is time for you to stand in your strength and let your inner light shine and stay focused and not lose sight of your path. Never lose sight of your path so you don’t get lost or start following a path that does not lead to the destiny of your soul.

And the choices you make after you begin the New Year can lead you to a place and a way of life that might surprise you.

When I wrote my second book, Welcome Home I focused a lot on the power of community. And I wrote about inner city community gardens. Well in current news I read about one that is feeding over 3000 residents free food.

When communities come together to help each other magic does happen, and we remember the power, strength, and agency we have to help ourselves and others.

Performing the Medicine for the Earth practices and helping to support your community to help each other is the way I see that we make it through. And as Isis has been saying to me every day, “The ground below you is dissolving so keep moving”. And I am.

During this potent time, I invite you to join me on staying focused on the path of life that brings us to a life of harmony where we remember that Earth, Air, Water, and Fire (the Sun) bring us life. They love us and if we appreciate them with love everyday and thank them throughout the day for all the life they give us and bring us, we will move into a place of sacred reciprocity with Nature.

And once we have that we have everything.

The full moon is on January 13 of this year. January 13 is my birthday, and I am finally moving out of my Death year in the tarot which is a major year of rite of passage.

This year of possibilities has not even begun for all of us. We don’t know the beauty waiting for us when we walk through the darkness. Let’s honor our lives and the lives of all, by dropping that which keeps us from our divine presence- the light we were born with when we came into this world. If you are distracted find a ceremony, a prayer, a song, a dance to bring you into center aligned with your true identity which is Source. And let your light flow effortlessly through the dimensions of time and life and join with our community to lift our circle and all of life into a different evolution of consciousness where when we set our intention and do our work beautiful changes can happen. We allow our light to flow as deeply as possible within ourselves and the Earth touching all of life remembering how the river of life flows so effortlessly.

If you are new reader of the Transmutation News please read “Creating A Human Web of Light” on the homepage of this site for directions for our monthly ceremony.

Welcome to 2025!!

Announcements:

I am teaching a seven-week course on Death as a Rite of Passage for the Shift Network starting January 7. This is a course I have been teaching since I started teaching shamanism. But I am leaving out teaching how to perform psychopomp work for this work is for advanced practitioners, and this is not an advanced course.

This is such a beautiful course for anyone who wishes to learn about death, how to meet with loved ones who have crossed over, finishing up unfinished business with those who have passed on, how to teach someone facing death how to meet a helping being, how to sit with someone who is dying while transfiguring, and ceremonies to honor the dying, whether those who died are humans, pets, trees, plants, other nature beings we love.

But it does require the need to have a good relationship with a helping spirit. I have a wonderful Evergreen class (which was once live and is now it is a recording) on the Ancient Practice of Shamanic Journeying. Whether you are looking at this course as a prerequisite for another shamanic course or for spiritual guidance during these amazing and challenging times it will give you a beautiful way to journey to the Lower World, Middle World, and Upper World and meet your helping spirits who can answer your questions and give you healing help.

Transmutation News December 2024

I am sure many of you are expecting me to write something about the election results. I posted so much on social media I no longer have anything to say. For me it was no surprise. If you have been a long-term reader of the Transmutation News I have actually been preparing you for this time from the first column written in 2000 until now. We came here for this time. And you all have the tools and the strength to keep moving forward and live your life. As Isis keeps sharing every day with me- the ground is dissolving under your feet – keep moving!

On October 31 of 2024 I celebrated my 44th year of taking my first training on shamanic journeying at the California Institute of Integral Studies (names the California Institute of Asian studies at the time). That night I met my first helping spirit who has been with me every day since that night.

He asked me not to share his identity publicly. So everyone has read or heard me talk about other helping spirits I have the amazing honor to work with like Isis, and the Wind, Earth, Fire, The Sun, and Water.

He not only saved my life from suffering a lifetime of depression and suicidal ideation, but he taught me how to perform soul retrievals and other shamanic healing ceremonies. He taught me everything and in the end, tens of thousands of people have been healed.

I just have to share what an amazing honor is has been for me to be a vessel for his love, healing, and wisdom. This is a poignant time for me as we end this year which in the tarot has been the Death year for me requiring of so much letting go, so much surrender, so much of my life dying, so many loved ones dying, and looking forward to a new rebirth in 2025.

And I have no idea what that looks like especially since the election. But I am ready to stand strong in my spiritual self and meet my new life with curiosity, wonder, and deep gratitude.

A couple of months ago I was driving myself crazy looking for an article I filed – where? Well in looking for the article I found some valuable ones I had forgotten about.

And I found an illustration that is in The Shamans Toolkit (How to Thrive in Changing Times). I had written a book for a non-shamanic community where people could show their friends and loved ones to understand the spiritual work they were performing. The book never sold well, but it really helped me a lot as what I wrote on was how much spiritual energy it takes to create change. So the information in it has guided my ceremonies and practices.

One of the practices in the book has you looking at how much in balance you are with the river of life. I have written for years now that as humans most of us are walking against the river of life and it is making us feel sick and/or depressed. We are nature beings and we were born to follow the cycles and phases  of nature.

The point of the exercise I am sharing is to fill in the diagram I have included here with what thoughts and actions have you moving in the flow of the river of life and what thoughts and behaviors move you against the flow of the river of life.

Take some time this month and reflect on this. For this is a wonderful way to end the year and prepare for new opportunities in 2025!

Of course this is great practice to do on the solstice as we welcome back the “return of the light” after we have done our inner work walking through the darkness.

Our full moon is December 15. What a time to live on this planet. And so much we can do we can create change if we focus our heart, our actions, and our spiritual practices in the right way. Light does heal!! Light does transmute! Show me one spiritual practice that does not teach this.

So it is time to gather ourselves together on every level and step into the true spiritual power we were born with, and remember that what our body is covering is our beautiful, all powerful, transformative light of Source. This light lives inside of us as it planted within us when we were born. And now it is time for that seed to sprout into the most beautiful blossom that just with its presence can transform all suffering into love and light. Let’s do our practice, our monthly ceremony of Creating A Human Web of Light.

Every year it is so important to me to give a big heartfelt thanks to our volunteer translators who join with us to spread the wisdom of the Medicine for the Earth work all over the world to an international community. This takes a lot of time and a LOT of energy. So let’s join our hearts together to shout out an immense thank you for those who do this beautiful work.

Sylvia Edwards is the central weaver of all that happens on www.sandraingerman.com and www.shamanicteachers.com. She is a dear friend and does more work than you can imagine to keep spreading the work in the most ethical way possible.

And here are our translators- let’s send them love and blessings for 2025 and the years to come.

I hope we can join together as a community to stay strong together. I feel in the coming times we are all going to need to rely on community. And I don’t care who you voted for. I can tell you we will all be coming together as one community.

Many years ago Isis taught me how to perform group soul retrievals for the times we are living in. I have done a few over the years for teachers and practitioners on www.shamanicteachers.com. So we will see how that work evolves and when I want to say more about this.

If you are a true Earthkeeper than you are caretaking the Earth and allowing the Earth to nurture and heal you. In this regard, I wish everyone a beautiful solstice while we keep doing our practices and much needed work for ourselves and all in the web of life.

Announcements:

I am teaching a seven-week course on Death As a Rite of Passage for the Shift Network in January. Once I have all the information from the Shift Network I will post this. This is a course I have been teaching since I started teaching shamanism. But I am leaving out teaching how to perform psychopomp work for this work is for advanced practitioners, and this is not an advanced course.

But it does require the need to have a good relationship with a helping spirit. I have a wonderful Evergreen class (was once live now it is a recording) on the Ancient Practice of Shamanic Journeying. Whether you are looking at this course as a prerequisite for another shamanic course or for spiritual guidance during these amazing and challenging times, it will give you a beautiful way to journey to the Lower World, Middle World, and Upper World and meet your helping spirits who can answer your questions and give you healing help.

As you know I am not tech savvy. And I have had this crazy relationship with Google ever since I created the Transmutation App which was updated to the Healing Your Thoughts App. I had no luck working with Google. When we created the Healing Your Thoughts App I was able to get it on Google. For over a year now I keep getting that I must verify my developer account. I have done it and paid the amount they asked. But I keep getting letters my account will be closed. And of course I don’t have the information to appeal.

But I will be working on another form of this app and in creating cards we can use for meditation.

So I really don’t know what will happen. Healing Your Thoughts is still available on Apple. And it is available in Google Play. I have no idea when Google Play will take the app down. I really have no idea. But I think you are safe for now. And I apologize that I was not able to find someone to help keep it going.

Transmutation News -November 2024

My original plan was to wait until the election in the United States was over before writing the Transmutation News, and then I decided this is not the purpose of the Transmutation News. I do believe we cannot separate spirituality from politics and that politics is a reality we must bridge our spiritual work into. But I believe that everything we are experiencing today is looping traumatic events repeatedly like they have been done for thousands of years. This is a time to finally get closure. And we all have the power to get closure over what has happened in our lives. As we do this the trauma loop on this planet will start to shift.

Until that time happens, we have no choice but to do the inspiring and uplifting work of cultivating our Inner World. Here we can build the lives we wish to live, the beauty we wish to see, peace on Earth in our own hearts, the abundance of resources we know we can have if we work with sacred reciprocity with the elements. We must create a beautiful, healthy, and peaceful Inner World to create safety for ourselves and all of life. I am doing so much work on this right now. And it is such a wonderful practice to imagine myself putting nutrients into the soil and then my favorite plants that are growing all around me on the land where I live. So once again I turn to the power of shamans are gardeners of energy and I am using the plants I love as metaphors for the energies I want to grow in my life. I find this to be a beautiful way to work with creation and manifestation is to work on our inner landscape first. And using metaphor to create your inner landscape reaches into a deep level of our unconscious.

I found an old copy of the Transmutation News which I believe is so relevant for the times we live in. So I decided to repost this column for this month. I hope you can see that in October 2017 we were not in a dissimilar place to where we are now. The events and stories have changed.

🌹“Transmutation News October 2017

We continue to hold all of life in our hearts who are being impacted by storms, fires, and earthquakes. We continue to see all in their divine strength having the tools to navigate the changes. And to all of life that died in these catastrophic events we thank you for gracing the Earth with your presence and wish you a smooth and graceful journey home.

Remember one of the keys of our work is not trying to change the weather and join the ranks of humans who feel they can control Mother Nature. Instead we need to perform our spiritual work and live a life of honor and respect for all of life. And then using the principle of reciprocity the Earth will respond in kind.

In September, during a session of my teleconferencing courses through the Shift Network, I taught how to merge with a helping spirit to see the world out of the eyes of spirit instead of through the eyes of ego. As a demonstration of how to merge with a helping spirit, I brought through Isis. I had asked Isis to speak to the group about the topic of suffering. For it seems that so many friends and students have lost hope, feel stuck in gazing upon so much suffering and poor behavior by humans towards each other and all of life. Practitioners of a variety of spiritual practices are losing hope and focus.

I felt that the message Isis shared was a powerful one, and I wanted to share it with all of you in case it speaks to you and touches you on some level. I am sharing only the core of her message:

‘There are an abundance of planets and dimensions where spirits incarnate to learn and evolve.

Here on Earth you were born to experience love, light, and joy, But the lesson was to first experience suffering and then to be able to reach beyond that dimension where inside of you (not outside of you) there is an inner sense of love and joy. Actually joy is not the correct vibration for in reality it is bliss that your spirit feels.

In your world teachers, including your own, encourage you to open your heart to the spirit of love.

But this teaching is not correct on the level of heart that you are being asked to connect with.

For the focus has been on your physical heart which is simply part of your ego. And so many of you are experiencing and seeing suffering which on an evolutionally level is expanding your sense of compassion. It takes you so deep into your humanness. But you are still trapped in the energy, vibration, frequency of suffering and that is the energy you are feeding in the world. And by carrying the energy of suffering so many people are becoming ill.

You are now literally and metaphorically being cracked open to the deepest place within where all the knowledge and wisdom is waiting for you to learn from as you touch deeper into your humanness.

Behind your physical heart is a spiritual heart. You do not have to travel that deeply within to connect with it. It is talked about by many gurus, mystics, and spiritual teachers.

And this spiritual heart – one with Source and the joy, bliss, and unconditional love for all of life and creation knows no suffering. It knows bliss, it knows unconditional love but has no experience of suffering on this Earth.

In the Land of Dreams I see millions of egos dreaming the illusion you are seeing as it is being created again and again on Earth.

Shift out of this Land of Dreams to where evolved spiritual beings are dreaming joy and love into the world.

You are caught and trapped in your ego. Transcend into a dimensional reality situated beyond your ego to your spiritual heart which is only experiencing eternal joy, bliss, unconditional love, and the light of Source.

You are in a new time and new evolution on Earth. Drop your current role in the play of life. Step into the life of an awakened spiritual being. You keep trying to raise your vibration and frequency when you need to work from a higher vibration and frequency.

I hold you in my arms and say you do have more choices than you know. You can shift to a higher level of consciousness.’

This month listen to some shamanic music or meditative music or spend some time in nature. Imagine traveling right behind your physical heart to your spiritual heart. It is the place where divine love, light, and bliss emanate from. Bring your burdens to your spiritual heart and experience how quickly they are transmuted and transformed into light.

Perform your transfiguration work and radiate light from your spiritual heart. Be a presence of love as your heart emanates pure and non personal unconditional love. 

In past issues of the Transmutation News I have shared the exercise of traveling to the Land of Dreams as I wrote about it in my book Walking in Light: The Everyday Empowerment of Shamanic Life.

You can perform a journey or meditation and ask to be taken to the Land of Dreams where an evolved spiritual community of people from all over the world are focusing their daydreams only on experiencing the most positive, beautiful, and awe inspired dreams for the planet. Take your place among this circle of dreamers, and do your work.”

🌹

The full moon is November 15. It is time for us to remove the cloak of illusion that we are just a body and mind. Allow yourself to dance and sing and imagine dropping your current persona, your role, allow yourself to imagine dancing and singing so the frequency of your body is no longer solid but is one of pure spirit. And let the spiritual light be released effortlessly into the web of life bringing light to all on this great Earth. It is our role to be Creating a Human of Light. And with this work, as we continue, deepen, become the work we will experience deep changes in our lives.

This is a time where people join together to honor the spirit of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving and gratitude mean so many different things to all of us. But let’s allow our hearts to speak gratitude for our lives and all in the web of life as there are so many who will not be able to find those words this year. Let us speak them for them and hold all in love!

Let us join our hearts together to welcome our new translator who will bring the Transmutation News to our circle who speaks the Czech language. This is a lot of volunteer work to commit to so let’s share our gratitude, blessings, and love with Pavlina Goodman from Prague

Ash Miner just graduated from my One Year Practitioner Training. And she is also in my new Teacher Training. We have some really beautiful people becoming practitioners and teachers. It feels good that I will leave my work in good hands (eventually – when I leave the planet).

She wrote this simple but intensely deep and profound book The Answer to Everything: Earth Wisdom and Beauty. The book is done in a format where she shows a picture from nature and then writes such deep wisdom. So for someone like myself who has no extra time to read I love picking up the book every day and being inspired by the beauty and depth from which Ash writes from. The book is available on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Check out this new website from Molly Rose. Molly is a brilliant somatic therapist and graduated from my One Year Shamanic Practitioner Program and will be in my new Teacher Training. I have known Molly since she was young. I wrote my book Soul Retrieval long hand and Molly’s mom typed the book. How fun to see the magic of the circle of life!! www.mollyroseimagery.com.

Transmutation News -October 2024

I am so excited to welcome in October as it is such a beautiful month whether you are welcoming in the time of darkness or a time of new birth. I love to welcome in darkness. And the reason is for me being in darkness and silence is where I can get my deepest rest. As I live in the Northern Hemisphere it is a time of welcoming in a phase of life of going as deep within to be nurtured on a level we do not receive in the light of life.

I keep seeing news stories about people being anxious about winter coming. Fall and winter are when we can let go, release, relax from all the stresses of being so active. We need the balance. I am not aware of nature beings who do not need rest. And we are Nature.

I have been pondering this October Transmutation News more than I have pondered a column in a while. And I think one of the reasons is I am doing so much deep healing and moving forward that every time I feel I have something to share with you on a spiritual level the inner territory I am walking through changes.

As you might remember, a few months ago Isis told me that what was happening to many of us including me, is that our past is marching into our present and that is an issue as now many of us have so much from the past preventing us from moving forward.

I have been exploring my past and doing some deep inner work that is taking me on another trajectory into my Inner World which is quite lovely. I realize I have some work to do there to meet the aspect of myself that the spirits have been showing me, and I have been wanting to meet most of my adult life.

 I keep walking and moving. I don’t get stuck in the past as that is just quicksand with no way out. The other day Isis shared with me that during the time we are living in if we stand in one place too long the earth below our feet will crumble.

It is a time to keep moving forward for when you look around a lot is dissolving right in front of our eyes, Just look at how many places are now uninhabitable. We must keep moving forward. And to add to this, performing our creation work for what we wish to create in those places of life that are dissolving before our eyes. The creation and manifestation work taught in the Medicine for the Earth work is some of the most important work we can do.

I wrote in a previous Transmutation News how the goddess Inanna was my teacher for a short time and taught me the power of keeping a clear focus – not looking left or right but just keep walking toward my destiny and what my soul and spirit are moving me towards. What your ego is moving towards is not real and won’t create healing or happiness for you.

With so many outer challenges it is so easy to get overwhelmed. But again, the key is to find the dimension of reality where you have full agency and power to change. And that is your Inner World. I think I have written enough about this as I have written it all before multiple times.

But I received these fabulous journeys that I have not had a chance to try yet. I am just going to give you the themes to journey on. The Transmutation News has been devoted to those who do the Medicine for the Earth work and are journeyers or meditators who can perform their spiritual work and receive guidance for themselves. I can’t guide you in these journeys. I am doing them for myself for the first time.

The first journey I was told to perform is a journey where we ask to meet the Three Original Mothers. There is a belief in some traditions that we all came from three original mothers. What an amazing journey or meditation to try to take and to experience what it is like to be in their unconditionally loving presence. Whether they really existed or not does not matter. Go back to the beginning of life and witness the incredible love of life and creation that was born from the feminine.

The next journey I would recommend trying is an adaptation of a journey I have written about in some of my books, teach in Medicine for the Earth workshops, and I have shared many times in the Transmutation News. The journey we have been performing is to journey or meditate on being a seed planted into the ground and watching its germination, growth, blossoming, pollination, fertilization.

I was told in this journey instead of exploring the life of a seed of a plant to journey to your original cell. We all started from one cell. And watch how that cell grows into life and forms more cells leading to organs and the body you live in. Watch the power, the life force, the love, the light, the evolution, and the eventual end of life.

And something of my own you can add to this is to find a spark of light in one of your cells and share that light with cells that might need healing and repair.

These are journeys that were given to me by Isis as very powerful energies to explore. If you feel up to it I invite you to join me in this work.

We honor the full moon on October 17. Every month our community that performs Creating a Human Web of Light keeps growing. The hearts of those who love life are coming together from all over the world to emanate our deepest unconditional love and the light of our Inner Source into the world. As our lights meet up and grow light the beauty of the stars in the clearest night sky. Imagine that night sky within you emanating light to yourself and all of life.

Please join with me to welcome our new Spanish translator. Our new volunteer is Xandra Mongelos as a translator for Spanish, who lives in Bali. As you can imagine it is a lot of work to do the translations into other languages so our international community can keep learning the power of the Medicine for the Earth work and growing into a strong community where we walk together into new ways of life.

Also, we are looking for a new translator for the Czech language. I have a couple of books published in Czech and would love to keep these newsletters available to those who would like to read them. If you would like to volunteer to translate the monthly Transmutation News into the Czech language, please contact Sylvia at info@sandraingerman.com.

Announcements:

I am working on final details for the Teacher Training and am excited to announce that we will be sending a dedicated email on October 4 opening up for applications for my new Two-Year Teacher Training. I am very excited to start the registration process as I love teaching this training. Sylvia and I are both excited and will be ready in October to send out information and applications. So keep practicing, seeing clients, and practicing your teaching skills!

Last September I had the pleasure to reconnect with Sounds True and record a new audio book that my editor called nothing less than phenomenal. The title is “Polishing the Path of the Soul”.

I was completely merged with my helping spirits and ended up sharing a powerful transmission of information plus a lot of journeys that are guided for all of you.

“Polishing the Path of the Soul” is a unique audio book that I created out of my online course (sponsored by The Shift Network) “The Dark Night of the Soul Leads to the Light of the Shaman”. I of course changed a lot, and I also added a bit from my Advanced Medicine for the Earth that I only taught to a small group once.

This is an extraordinary audio book is all I can say. You will be listening to me and also journeying. The audio book with lecture and journeys is 10+ hours.

https://www.sandraingerman.com/bookscds/polishing-the-path-of-the-soul/

Some wonderful people in our circle often contact me and ask how they can support me. It would really be kind if you are willing to write a review on Amazon for “Polishing the Path of the Soul”. I keep hearing how wonderful this recording is, and I know as I did it. If you do like it, you could help me a lot by leaving a review.

I wanted to let everyone know I am posting regularly inspiration posts on my Authors Page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/SandraIngerman  and @ingermansandra on Instagram. I have been doing this since December and all the posts are still up. Reading and pondering what I am sharing is very inspiring. I hope you will check in.

Since the 1991 publication of her now classic book on adoption, The Other Mother: A Woman’s Love For the Child She Gave Up For Adoption, Carol Schaefer has worked to help heal through her writings and counseling the losses and trauma of both birth mothers and adopteesTo contact her, send an email to carolschaefer1@aol.com. For more about her books and to read her blogs visit her website: carolschaeferauthor.com.

I had a chance to be on Dr. Lotte’s podcast and we connected immediately. (Here is the link to our interview https://youtu.be/SazzFCj1p88)

We even recorded a new bonus together that will be available for of our courses on the Shift Network. I am teaching again in January a very modified version of my course on Death and Dying that will be safe for beginners.

So I love Dr. Lotte’s work. And she is teaching a new course for the Shift Network. The course begins in time for you to register. I am already pre-registered for the course for Dr. Lotte’s work is the work I need right now.

Have you ever wondered if patterns, beliefs, and traumas have been passed down to you through generations and are contributing to feelings of inadequacy, low self-esteem, or difficulty in forming healthy relationships?

Naturopathic doctor and evidential psychic medium Dr. Lotte Valentin shares that there may be a reason rooted in scientific theory for this transmission. Quantum entanglement suggests that particles once connected remain so, regardless of the distance separating them, influencing each other instantaneously. 

Applied to the mother-child relationship, it implies that emotional and psychological states can be deeply intertwined between mother and her offspring, even on a subatomic level, meaning that traumas, behaviors, and even thoughts can be transferred across generations without direct interaction.

Dr. Valentin combines her spiritual insight with her medical expertise, which uniquely positions her to guide you in both understanding and healing the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your life. As an author, N.M.D., and award-winning leader, her teachings provide deep knowledge that bridges the gap between science and soul.

Her approach is deeply rooted in scientific principles, emphasizing how neurological and physiological frameworks interact with spiritual experiences, a perspective she elaborates on through her published works and speaking engagements at medical and holistic conferences.

This perspective offers a powerful framework for understanding the difficulties and dynamics we experience with our mothers, framing them as essential, chosen paths toward personal and ancestral healing.

I taught a webinar for Caritas Consciousness Project. The webinar was titled “Experiencing the Shamanic Journey with Nature”. In the webinar I taught people how to journey. This is a free offering for you or someone you know who wishes to learn shamanic journeying. Here is the link to enjoy the 2 hour webinar.

Transmutation News – September 2024

We made it through summer and winter depending on where you live on this great Earth. It has been intense. I know for me this entire year has been very intense as in the tarot I am in my Death year. I have lost so many friends and colleagues this year. I had to really work with my spirits as the psychopomp work I have done to help people cross over was more complex this year. I can only say this has been such an interesting period of my life. I am ready to greet fall and continue to release all within me that I need to psychopomp to Source too.

 

We are greeting the season of fall or spring again depending on where you reside. And what a perfect time to really organize your life so that you are moving forward with your life and work in the right way and finding your own flow.

 

This particular time of year where we celebrate death and rebirth simultaneously is such a good time to look at what do you need to:

Dismember
Discreate
Uncreate
Dissolve
Destroy  

 

And then to:
Remember
Create
Weave
Nurture
Sing Rebirth

 

If you look at your life like a weaving this is a good time to pull out old threads of your life that need to go and start weaving in beautiful colors, textures, dreams so that is what you end up creating during the seasons allows you to let go of what needs to go back to the Earth while celebrating the new birth that is woven by your work.

 

I also like the metaphor of sweeping out your inner home and the home you live in. Sweeping out the old that needs to be composted in your life and bringing in new life to your inner landscape and to the home where you live. Physically sweeping your house can make a significant change to your psyche.

 

These simple ceremonies return our lives to balance. We often look for the most complicated ways to find ourselves in a true healthy flow with life. And finding flow and harmony should never be complicated as Nature finds its way easily in the flow of life. And if we are all Nature which we are why can’t we find the magical flow of Nature. We can. Perform your ceremonies and practices and keep them simple. Keep your life simple. And you might find you have more bounty of beauty and all you dream of in your life.

 

The equinox is September 22. Let’s imagine our circle performing ceremonies whose energy emerges into creating great beauty in the world.

 

The full moon is September 17 and is the Harvest Moon. Let’s gather our personal power together as a world community in our true desire to bring peace, light, love, and harmony back to how we live on our Earth. Earth is our home. And fighting over territory is not what our lives what meant to focus on. Let’s remember our purpose and drop the ego that separates us and remember the truth that we are all one light shining from our hearts as our spirit intended us to do. Let’s emanate our spiritual light throughout all of the web of life. Separation is an illusion. When we are fighting we are essentially just fighting with ourselves.

If you are a new reader of the Transmutation News below are links for instructions on how to prepare for a ceremony and then instructions for our monthly full moon ceremony Creating a Human Web of Light.

Ines Fermosa has been translating the Transmutation News into Spanish as a volunteer for 20 years now!! Due to life’s circumstances Ines can no longer keep up the translations. I am asking if there is someone who is willing to volunteer to take over the Spanish translation, please contact Sylvia Edwards at info@sandraingerman.com.

 

I only wish all shamanic practitioners had such commitment to the work as Ines has had. If we all held such a commitment to the work I don’t believe that we would be seeing the same challenges playing out on our planet right now.

 

It is something to think about as we enter a new season and meditate on our life and changes we need to make. How committed are you to do your spiritual, physical, and emotional work to really be a changemaker at a time where we really need everyone to stand up for all in the web of life.

 

Inspiration for the month from 2019:

“A few years ago I was show that ceremony creates energetic building blocks to move us closer to our dreams. One ceremony alone might not do it unless you are destined for a miracle.

 

It is like needing to create a landscape for building a new structure through energetic gardening and tending. Preparing the ground and then using ceremony to keep building energetic blocks that grow into a beautiful form and physical landscape over time.

 

Remember shamans are gardeners of energy so this is what they do. And they create these building blocks through singing incantations- singing certain vibrations that create new energetic forms.”

 

I send you all love and blessings during the time of this equinox. I love the fall equinox. So it is a huge time of celebration for me. Whether you are celebrating the time of fall or spring know that you are held in love by our circle.

Announcements:

I am working on final details for the Teacher Training and am excited to announce by the beginning of October a dedicated email will go out about applying for my new Two-Year Teacher Training. I am very excited to start the registration process as I love teaching this training. Sylvia and I are both excited and will be ready in October to send out information and applications. So keep practicing, seeing clients, and practicing your teaching skills!

 

Last September I had the pleasure to reconnect with Sounds True and record a new audio book that my editor called nothing less than phenomenal. The title is “Polishing the Path of the Soul”.

I was completely merged with my helping spirits and ended up sharing a powerful transmission of information plus a lot of journeys that are guided for all of you.

“Polishing the Path of the Soul” is a unique audio book that I created out of my online course (sponsored by The Shift Network) “The Dark Night of the Soul Leads to the Light of the Shaman”. I of course changed a lot, and I also added a bit from my Advanced Medicine for the Earth that I only taught to a small group once.

This is an extraordinary audio book is all I can say. You will be listening to me and also journeying. The audio book with lecture and journeys is 10+ hours.

https://www.sandraingerman.com/bookscds/polishing-the-path-of-the-soul/

Some wonderful people in our circle often contact me and ask how they can support me. It would really be kind if you are willing to write a review on Amazon for “Polishing the Path of the Soul”. I keep hearing how wonderful this recording is, and I know as I did it. If you do like it, you could help me a lot by leaving a review.

I wanted to let everyone know I am posting regularly inspiration posts on my Authors Page on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/SandraIngerman  and @ingermansandra on Instagram. I have been doing this since December and all the posts are still up. Reading and pondering what I am sharing is very inspiring. I hope you will check in. I really don’t post on my Friends page anymore.

 

And don’t forget to visit our Shamans are Gardeners of Energy Facebook page to post inspirational stories and images and also to be uplifted by what our community is sharing. To join the Facebook group Shamans Are Gardeners of Energy, go to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/991720834662313. The password is “Transfiguration”. “

 

I love going to Shamans are Gardeners of Energy to rest from life and take in so much of the beauty that people post. It is my sacred space for getting away from the conditioned world.

 

It is important to me to know that I created these FB pages to give inspiration. Yes I do promote as I do have new books, audios, and courses to share about. But my reason for posting now is to help lift us all up in these challenging times. I don’t care how many people sign up for my FB pages. I am simply trying to keep our community inspired and moving forward with our work- those who want some inspiration.

I encourage you to attend this free LIVE webinar with my friend, shamanic healer/teacher and author, Evelyn Rysdyk if you’re ready to embark on a journey of confidence, courage with the ability to live life with an authentic passion!  Her free event, 3 Essential Keys for Activating Your Sacred Feminine for Vitality, Connection and Fearlessness! is on September 20th. I have announced Evelyn’s courses a lot. She is really a brilliant teacher and takes people deep into the truth!!

Here is the link:   https://www.spiritpassagesacademy.com/a/2147923486/FizyRhhB

 

Explore Inka Nature Wisdom of the Q’ero:

 


I had to honor to work with Elizabeth Jenkins, an anointed teacher of the Inka Nature Wisdom Tradition of the Q’ero people of South America. I really appreciate the depth of who she is. She started with the Q’ero when I started working with shamanism. She will guide you in an exploration of Andean cosmovision and the teachings and practices of the Q’ero people, which can help you discover who your nature parents are.

 

Elizabeth will explain why the Q’eros see this spiritual connection and the accompanying wisdom as essential for achieving wholeness, happiness, and fulfillment. Not having a real relationship with your nature parents leaves a feeling of disconnection and lack of inner resources.  

 

Her introductory call with the Shift Network is over. But you can learn about her course and register for it here:

A couple of years ago Sacred Science put on a docuseries called Healing Kitchen. I did promote the event and I could not believe how many of you wrote in how valuable this series was. It is really informative, deep, and not your usual docuseries on food. It was the first time people were sending in emails thanking me for making an announcement on this powerful series.

 

People are starting to take their health back into their own hands, and REAL medicines are beginning to emerge in the form of: healthy living, exercise, mindfulness and…

 

Wholesome, organic, consciously-created, plant-based FOOD!

 

For decades, people have written off medicinal food and simple kitchen remedies as being ineffective for anything serious… Well, we were WRONG.

 

The research is in and it looks like a natural helper for just about every disease (big and small) may exist in medicinal superfoods and healing herbs! We’re talking about cancer, Alzheimer’s, infertility, obesity, depression, auto-immune disorders – you name it.

 

And it’s all revealed in a stunning new documentary series called Healing Kitchen: Let Food be Thy Medicine:      https://healingkitchen.thesacredscience.com/register?a_aid=si&a_bid=99099c87     This 9-part exploration of the world’s most promising medicinal foods and how they can be used to prevent and heal disease is a must-see and it’s absolutely FREE!

 

Healing Kitchen is going to put the power of optimal health back into your hands. Each episode is beautifully filmed and jam-packed with potent recipes and ancient remedies that will turn your kitchen into a personal sanctuary of natural wellness.

Transmutation News – August 2024

Back in the 1980’s I had a variety of helping spirits that taught me beautiful and potent lessons. They would come through for very short periods of time- just enough time to share a lesson with me. One of the helping spirits that came through for me then was the goddess Inanna. She stayed with me for months. When she did appear in my journey, the image and experience were always the same.

She showed herself walking through a very barren and desolate territory. The road was filled with dust. And there was no green around. The path was narrow and steep as Inanna walked through this territory with such amazing focus not looking right or left. She was walking up a steep hill with no end in sight.

Although she never spoke to me with words, I got the message she was trying to transmit to me. And the message was to keep my focus on my vision of where I was going. She instructed me to not look left or right. My vision was always to remain looking straight with 100% focus on where I was going and not allowing the challenging distractions to throw me off course. For the spiritual work is so important.

I feel like with all the planetary changes, we have to find the path that works for us. Some readers of this column are young, healthy, and vital and have the energy to be protesters like I was back in the 1960s. Some of you have the energy to enter into deep conflicts and find this is your way to be in service. And then there are some who are elders. Some elders are still out there fully in their passion doing their work of service. And some elders need to take on more of a traditional role of holding space for all that is going on.

For healing to happen we need multiple types of work happening. We need the socially active and we need those who can hold space for what is happening. I feel like that was the message of Innana.

Whatever role you choose if you are working from a place of love we can all settle in the role that we are physically capable of and that calls to our soul.

I see our international readers as a community and as a circle. We don’t know each other in the ordinary world. But we have been coming together for 25 years to work together in ways we are drawn to, especially using the Medicine for the Earth work.

If you can expand your vision and take in the possibility that thousands of people around the world are reading this column and choosing to join together to make a difference it will be “medicine” for our hearts right now.

One such circle member is a woman by the name of Maureen. And she shared a post on FB that really touched me. I asked her if I could share with our readers and community. Maureen was having a day where she was feeling how tough it was to live where she was living. The environment has made our living spaces more toxic and sometimes it is not possible for us to find the perfect place to live.

I was so moved by what Maureen wrote. I hope you feel the depth of feeling too.

Maureen’s post

“I was inspired to create a collage based on some insights I received the other night from my Guides. 
Without going into great length, my Guides were helping me work through some frustrations and related thoughts and feelings about a few things having to do with my life and where I live. They encouraged me to bloom where I am planted.  
Briefly, they were teaching me, helping me to recognize, that all the plants and flowers focus on expressing their divine essence, being their authentic selves, whether they grow in a field or forest, in a small patch of ground in someone’s yard, or in a pot adorning the steps or windowsills of a home. 
The potted plants, garden fruits and vegetables, and flowers don’t think about their relatives who grow up in an open field or forest, or somewhere else, wild, and free. They recognize their purpose is to express their divine essence, to provide their beauty, fragrance, and gifts to the world, – to be the best they can be – wherever they find themselves planted and growing. They have resilience and strength to even push through as they sprout in places which are not the first choice for growing plants, like the cracks of city sidewalks. 
This is part of what I was given to not only ponder, but to reflect upon and make my own inner adjustments, – learning from the beings of the plant kingdom the importance of being my authentic self and expressing my divine essence, offering my gifts and living my life in sacred service for the benefit of all beings, whether I live in a small pot (my little apartment) or have the opportunity to be replanted someplace else.
I choose to reframe my frustrations and be grateful for the gift of life, the opportunity to offer my life in service, and recognize that wherever I am planted doesn’t change that or hinder that, it’s an opportunity for me to bloom where I am planted.
As I make that inner shift, I come into balance within myself and with the world around me, and I come into coherence with the divine frequency.”

To end on a humorous note. Karine is one of our French translators. She was translating the July column where I wrote about slowing down to 3G versus 5G. As she was translating this passage she got a notification on her phone.

You can sign up for 5G and everything will go faster.

The universe can offer us some synchronicity and humor sometimes.

The full moon is August 19. Let’s gather our personal power together alone and as a world community in our true desire to bring peace, light, love, and harmony back to how we live on our Earth. Earth is our home. And fighting over territory is not what our lives what meant to focus on. Let’s remember our purpose and drop the ego that separates us and remember the truth that we are all one light shining from our hearts as our spirit intended us to do. Let’s emanate our spiritual light throughout all of the web of life.

Inspiration for this month:

Rest is reconnecting to yourself. Once that is done everything flows easily.

I wish you all a beautiful August!!

Announcements:

Just so everyone knows in a couple of months I will be making an announcement about my new Two Year Teacher Training that will take place in 2025 and 2026 in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the Chi Center. Due to the level of interest the application will be quite intense.  I am excited about starting the application process in the next couple of months.

Last September I had the pleasure to reconnect with Sounds True and record a new audio book that my editor called nothing less than phenomenal. The title is “Polishing the Path of the Soul”.

Renee Baribeau and I are in our sixth year of our podcast The Shamans Cave. For a schedule of our shows visit ShamansTV.com. Please note Renee and I are taking a break for a bit. But the archives of 6 years of shows are on www.ShamansTV.com.

I did a wonderful interview with Caroline Carey in the UK. She is known for her beautiful work with Nature. You can check out my interview on her show Soul Purpose.

Many years ago, when Sounds True was putting on Wake Up Festivals in Colorado, I had the honor of meeting Christine Stevens twice. We actually shared a cabin with some of the other presenters for two years in a row. And what I can tell you is Christine Stevens is so filled with life, joy, love, optimism. I really just love her. Please check out her intro call introducing her new course. 

Finding a Higher Purpose With Improvisational Native American-Style Flute: Shift Your Mind From Self-Judgment to a Creative Flow State for Deep Soul Expression with Christine Stevens

https://shiftnetwork.isrefer.com/go/hpfSI/ingerman/ 

Explore the depth and ease of improvisational flute playing — technically and soulfully (and even if you don’t own a flute) — to release inhibitions caused by self-criticism, shift into flow states, find your creative expression, and even unearth your higher purpose. 

 

An amazing mentor and teacher has entered into my life. Jacirendi Xakhar is a true shaman breathing so much life and love into everything she creates. She is an amazing artist. I have some of Jacirendi’s paintings which I treasure, and earrings and bags that I love.

Jacirendi has been creating medicine dolls. And she recently gifted me Alquimia (daughter of the Blue Lotus and of the Nile). Alquimia is not an inanimate being that I now have. Once she got grounded here in my home her presence took over the entire house. Last night I was lying in bed and smelled the herbs in her and felt her power emanating throughout my bedroom. And she is in a totally different part of my house where she can live with my amazing San Pedro and other plants.

Since Alquimia has been here I have changed. I naturally walk through my house bowing to all my plants everyday. This was some transmission I have received from Alquimia. And I look forward to how she guides me next.

Jacirendi is one who really explores the magic of bringing life into the art she creates. I love Jacirendi’s work and the depth of who she is.

I hope you will visit her website “Once in A Turquoise Blue Moon”

Kelley Harrell’s new book, From Elder to Ancestor, is an animistic celebration of eldering well as a life-long practice. We don’t age into elderhood; we initiate into it through strong relationship with Nature and each other. This book lays the groundwork of cultivating ethical relationship with ourselves, communities, and other-than-humans to leave the world better than we found it, and to become good Ancestors.

You can order the book from https://www.innertraditions.com/books/from-elder-to-ancestor and learn more about Kelley’s work at soulintentarts.com.
