Transmutation News November 2025

Planet Earth is a living garden! And we have so much to appreciate about life when we really understand the Presence of Earth. I have been having some amazing and life changing experiences  while listening to different frequency music while connecting with the Moon.

Back in October I had some really powerful shifts into a new dimension of reality. I actually perceived myself shifting something like one inch to the left and I found myself in a dimension I call True Earth. I experienced the amazing Presence Earth has which no other planet in the solar system has. I was shown this is why billions of people try to incarnate here just to experience Earth’s Presence. But we all forgot as we incarnated.

That is just a bit of what I was shown besides as I breathed in air I was breathing in the Divine and every Tree was Source incarnated. There was a lot more of course, that was highly personal.

In one of my experiences I asked Isis why nature often presents itself as spirals. And Isis replied because Earth is in Divine Order. I told her I don’t feel this collective we are living in now is in Divine Order. Isis replied that we are still too caught up in illusion.

In my lifetime I have experienced horrors like we are experiencing now. And the horrors we are experiencing now are again a loop that keeps getting more dramatic until we wake up out of this nightmare. Some of what we are experiencing is worse than I could have imagined. And waking up is everyone’s choice.

I have received a lot of personal healing as I feel my cycle is shifting into a new time of life and onto a new path.

In sharing this I did want to let everyone know that December will be the last column for the Transmutation News. I will write out a ceremony for December we can perform together as a dedicated circle of international readers to bring 26 years of this column to a close.

The Transmutation News began 26 years ago. And it has been a free resource that people all over the world have been reading monthly. I never missed a month. And before the column was titled The Transmutation News it was A Fall To Grace that Bob Edgar and Carol Proudfoot Edgar helped me get out to the international community.

The purpose of the Transmutation News has been to share the powerful work I wrote about in Medicine for the Earth: Transforming Personal and Environmental Toxins. I have shared so much wisdom in these 26-27 years. And the wisdom I shared is universal and is so powerful that everyone can step out of the current collective and make new choices if they care to.

In the past there were years when the column was 11-14 pages long with no announcements attached. I used to ask Sylvia to apologize to the translators for how much work it took to translate each month. But everyone was happy to do it and readers absorbed what I wrote and were always hungry for more.

One person asked for a Table of Contents and Sylvia Edward has been generously writing one each month!

Now in our culture people want very short messages to read rather than long newsletters. We are all changing in how much we can absorb and how much we want to be reading instead of spending time living our passions.

I find in nature when cycles shift there is a certain amount of chaos. Due to the ongoing group I taught on the Shift Network for over 4 months my consciousness is in a very new place. Sandra Ingerman is dying to the past, and I am not sure what my new life will look like. I know I am moving into a different dimension than our current collective. We have just been looping from one crisis to the next since I was born. So for me it is time to create a different life and continue to help people do the same.

 I am not sure where my soul or divine Spirit will lead me but I have 1000% trust as we all should have in our soul and Spirit right now. I have been having really transcendent experiences and I know how much love we are being held in and how Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, the Sun, the Moon, the Universe, Time, the galaxies, and the nebulae are singing for us right now and holding space for us.

I am so excited to see where the shamanic community can rise to. The opportunities are limitless right now unless you choose to remain in the illusion of looping of tens of thousands of years of old history that is simply stuck in a loop like an old record that caught in a loop and the needle can’t jump to a new place.

Thousands of us are jumping to new places and rising to new levels of consciousness.

Once I get a sense of where my life is leading, I might start a new column with a new title reflecting the new work as I keep evolving. It is just another level of all I have shared for 26 years.

I might just write some short paragraphs in an email and ask Sylvia to send it out instead of working in such a formal way.

I am not leaving you. I am taking a break and if something happens I feel needs to be addressed immediately, I will write something and send it out.

In the meantime, I hope everyone will keep up our monthly ceremony Creating a Human Web of Life which we will still come together to perform each full moon. In the past there have been churches and Buddhist monasteries who joined us in this powerful monthly ceremony.

And I do have books, audio programs, Evergreen courses that you can buy as a way to support your growth and spiritual development during this time. All my books and audio programs are still relevant now and share wonderful tools, practices, and ceremonies. I will list some of these again in the Announcement Section.

Buying one of my creations is also a way to say thank you if you find it in your heart to do so.

Renee Baribeau and I completed 250 shows for the Shamans Cave and we are still going strong. You can find us on www.ShamansTV.com.   

And I have 3 inspirational Facebook pages and an Instagram account  @sandraingerman.com.

On Facebook there is the Shamans Are Gardeners of Energy filled with the beauty of the Earth to keep you uplifted and inspired.

My Authors Page provides inspiration to keep you staying in your heart, connected to the Earth, and staying positive as we walk together through very challenging times. And the same posts are on Instagram @sandraingerman.

With our generous volunteer translators, we really tried to hold you in love for all these years giving you encouragement and tools and practices to help shift your life and keep evolving as you came here to do.

Full Moon

The full moon is November 5. Let’s bring our heart, soul, and Spirit into perfect harmony and Divine Order and allow our spiritual light to circulate and be absorbed into all our cells bringing light and energy into our body and then through our spiritual heart allow our divine light to emanate to every living being on this great Earth and in our sacred web of life.

If you are a new reader of the Transmutation News you can read the instructions for our international full moon ceremony Creating a Human Web of Light on the homepage.

Over the years Sylvia Edwards and our volunteer international translators have brought you the Transmutation News to hold you in love and know how much you are cared for. And they all this with incredible passion and joy in their hearts. There are no words I know that hold the energy of love that I would like all of us to share with them.

And I have let our current translators know about my news and they are grieving the end of the column. They don’t want to stop reading it and translating it. This has deeply filled my heart with many complex feelings.

Of course, in December I will write out everyone’s names, and they will part of our closing ceremony.

There have been important themes I have shared over the years. There are too many to write out. But I am writing out some of my favorites for you to work with:

The theme of the Transmutation News is based on the formula for transmutation and change that I wrote out in Medicine for the Earth. And I wrote this formula out for so many years. In order for true transformation to happen you need to use these principles I found are core in universal miracles:

Intention + Love + Union + Harmony + Focus + Concentration + Imagination = true Transmutation, Transformation that leads to miracles.

Isis shared with me in a time of crisis in the 1990s: “The only way out is through.”

The goddess Inanna was my teacher for awhile but she never spoke to me. She only showed me an image of the world being destroyed. And she instructed me to avoid looking left or right. Keep walking straight and keep my eyes on what my focus is and don’t waiver my focus for even a millisecond.

This journey repeated over a hundred times before Inanna left me. Focus on what you do want to create is the key for getting through.

From Neville: “The whole world is you pushed out.” Keep doing your inner work so the reflection you are getting back from the world is beauty.

Emmett Fox: If you plant a cherry tree it will not grow into an apple tree. Meaning the seeds we plant and feed do grow. So keep doing your inner work so you are growing the garden you wish to live in.

This all feeds into:

Shamans are Gardeners of Energy

What seeds you plant and feed will grow!

The words you use create your reality. This truth is written out in every way possible way in all world’s spiritual traditions.

Your imagination is the biggest gift you were born with. For everything in this world is created by our inner imagination.

Every spiritual tradition teaches universally that everything that is created on Earth was created first in the unseen worlds. This is where our imagination takes a huge role in creation.

Your perception creates your reality.

You are a seed of Source!

You came here to add your unique energetic signature to the sacred web of life. And all of life needs you to express your gifts you came here to share with all of life. So don’t contract and don’t feel you have no purpose here. We all have a beautiful piece of the puzzle we came here to share.

I know I will remember some more gems. And I will share them in December and over time if I feel something is important to focus on.

And keep creating beauty. We came here to be in Earth’s divine presence which is so lovely. Let’s add to the amazing presence by creating the same beauty the Earth just naturally shows us every day and every moment of our lives.

I hold you in love, our international circle holds you in love, the helping spirits hold you in love, the elements hold you in love. You live on planet Earth, a planet of Divine Love. What all there is Love if you make that your choice to tap into and the way you live.

November is a month when people focus on what they are thankful for. I have deep thanks for being able to share wisdom from the spirits with all of you. And I have deep gratitude for all of our lives!

Ann Lenehan has been a course host of mine on the Shift Network for so many years now. She is the one of the clearest channels I know. And now she is doing readings for people to help them identify their core issues. Ann’s work is amazing if you are looking for someone outside to help you explore where you are in life. I can’t wait to work with her as I know her gifts so well!!

With clarity, compassion, and gentle humor, Sara guides you to adapt ancient practices in ways that feel authentic, grounded, and truly healing. https://saraviolante.com.

On the homepage of www.sandraingerman.com there are a list of Resources that include short articles I wrote on shamanism and Medicine for the Earth practices. I also have a lot of You Tube videos listed you can watch.

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. If you are looking for how to deal with your toxic thoughts How to Heal Toxic Thoughts is a short and powerful book I wrote.

“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.

Of course I feel my two most powerful books I wrote are Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self and Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins.

 

I did write other books that I really love and still hold so much wisdom for us. It is just I wrote 13 so I can’t list all of them. But all of my books and audio programs can be found and ordered through Books and Audios on the homepage of this site.

It is important to me to know that I created these FB pages and Instagram account to give inspiration. Yes, I do promote as I do have new books, audios, and courses to share about.

Transmutation News October 2025

I saw this incredible photo in a news story. I do not watch or read a lot of news. But I do find myself curious.

One day, I decided to click on “the top stories” in the news. And my eyes were met with such an incredible sight. A Ukrainian woman was shown bursting and ready to give birth and was just taken out of fighting the war against Russia. In the Ukraine, women fight until they are 7 months pregnant. I cannot even imagine having to do this if my life was so threatened! How would something like this change you, make you grow, mature?  Could we be so sensitive if we had to stand up and fight for our freedom and lives, which might come at some point for all of us?

What is happening now is a tremendous amount of outward projection. For some it does feel like we are at war as we are constantly warring with each other. For Americans, we never had the experience of bombs dropping on houses and cities. But a lot of our ancestors shared too many stories like this from other countries. And of course our community of readers do know the stories of war at home as readers of this column are scattered all over the globe.

It feels Ike bombs are dropping on us now due to how much fear, anger, and sadness people keep projecting as different pieces of news from our friends, loved ones, and the local and world news march into our inner landscape.

I used to be a big nighttime dreamer, and then in the last few years I stopped dreaming. I am starting to dream again, and it is amazing how many images in my dreams I can track back to something I saw in a TV show, or in the news, or a photo I saw. It is amazing to me how my unconscious just absorbs what it is shown. And the interesting thing is Winston Churchill is in all my dreams. Didn’t he say, “We shall never surrender!!” I know I keep talking about surrendering, but I trust you get that this is a different context.

I wonder how many of you reading this column are aware of the images you are taking in, that are impacting the messages given to your brain, which ends up impacting your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health.

Each month I try to give you encouragement to explore what you are holding in your psyche so you release the bonds to what is not true about you or your life now. So many people are saying goodbye to their past, which is part of personal healing, but is also healing the collective.

This month I would encourage you to journey and meditate and keep exploring what your heart is trying to tell you about what you are picking up, what you are feeling, and how you are feeling. You might find that you are holding the energy of fear in your heart but trying to behave in the world as if everything is fine. Or maybe you have a heavy heart filled with grief and sadness, but you hide behind it in your communications.

This is very important to keep checking in with your body to discover what you are holding and repressing so you can survive and show the world you are living a normal life. I don’t know how many are living what would be called “a normal life”, but I believe so many of us are moving into deep inner explorations and listening to that which has been hidden and repressed. Due to being willing to look at what we are hiding, and working our issues through, many can now expand to really take in the beauty of nature and life unconditionally. So many people are discovering a new dimension of life.

But this takes a lot of inner work and a lot of honesty with yourself. Don’t feel afraid to get to know yourself in an intimate way, holding compassion for all you have been through where you sculpted a life so that you could find a way to fit in and survive in this world. The gift in doing this is that you find how much you love yourself and how much you do care and honor yourself. And then that leads to a portal where you can find inner peace and hopefully one day unconditional joy. I do believe that is our birthright. We have forgotten what is the most beneficial part of life to engage in – love, light, inner peace, inner joy and all on an unconditional level.

And for those of you who feel the energy marching your way is too intense and hurtful, remember the powerful practice of transmutation and transfiguration we have been working with for over 25 years now! Absolutely everything can be transformed into the energy of light and love. Everything! You have a power that was given to you as you came into this world born from Spirit, and you are a divine Spirit. You have the power to transform everything you take in life and everything you share in your life into the most beautiful divine light that lives inside of you. Your Spirit carries you through the fires and turmoil of life, and has all the knowledge of the divine and the creative forces of the universe. For you were born a divine being who chose to put on a certain costume and role in life. But you can drop all of that and remember the truth of who you are. And that creates healing for all as everything in our outer world is simply a reflection of our inner world.

As Neville Goddard taught: “The whole world is you pushed out.”

The full moon is October 6. It is the Harvest Moon and also a super moon. What a great power to work with in coming together as a loving community of thousands to honor and emanate the light within, the divine that we are and can share that with ourselves and the entire world. This is our birthright. Expand your divine light and let it shine within you, drink it, absorb it, become it, and be that light in the world. As we do this together, we create a powerful force of divine change for all of life in our sacred web of life.

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

I went to see a Blues concert. The singer said “I feel like I am going into a panic attack. I better start singing.”  What great advice for all of us.

Wishing you all a beautiful month of October filled with divine light and love!

Transmutation News September 2025

Transmutation News September 2025

We are still walking forward in very challenging times. And each month I will remind you to really surrender to your own soul and Inner Source who knows how to carry you through the fire. Trust in yourself, your sovereignty, and your own power. For you are actually more prepared and stronger than you know to face the current times and keep walking through.

I have always shared since the beginning of my writing and teaching that it is our soul that carries the knowledge of our destiny and has the blueprint for our health. It is our soul that makes the decision of whether it is time to heal and live or whether the next step of healing is death. I share this with all my clients too.

So it is our soul and of course our inner light that carries us through all initiations, all the fires that arise in life that we have to walk through.

With all the challenges we are facing now it is our soul and inner Spirit that will carry us through. If you feel you need a soul retrieval to get your most important “spiritual organ” revived or called back it would be great for you have to have a soul retrieval performed for you. If you don’t have a favorite practitioner, I do have a list of practitioners I trained on www.shamanicteachers.com.

As I am in my elder years it is natural for me to feel called within into my landscape. This cycle of life change is natural and has been happening since time began. So I started to question if I was encouraging people to go within and work from their inner landscape as it is what I am doing.

But in looking at all creation work, creation is born from within and not from without. Babies just don’t just appear in the world. They are born from within as are all the creations of Source.

It is such an important time to really journey deep into our inner landscape, our inner garden, our Inner World and expand the space inside instead of seeing the power being restrained by the form of your body. For with as above, so below everything in the outer world is already in you too. So the more you expand your Inner World by experiencing all your senses expanding within your inner garden, the more spiritual energy you will feel as you do your own healing work and explore what changes you need to make in your life so you are living an authentic life. You will find by doing this work, you can start to tap into the unlimited power that the seed of Source planted in you as you were coming into this time and the world you were born into. You have more spiritual power than society is letting you acknowledge. You have the birthright to be free and fly with your helping spirits and do the beautiful manifestation work I have been teaching over the years in past issues of the Transmutation News.

If you have not been trained in the Imagination and Creation work I teach I write and teach extensively about powerful manifestation practices in both my books Medicine for the Earth and Walking in Light. It is time for us to step into a different dimension of reality. Isis has shared with me we all have a narrow path to walk through right now. But remember all the openings, doorways, and portals that the ancient ones have used since the beginning of time to create a better dimension of life filled with love, light, harmony, peace, and all good things. We can create a good life too!

The fall/spring equinox is on September 22. As you all know, fall is my favorite season to celebrate. Sorry, I know most of you love spring and summer. I am a fall and winter gal as these seasons are when I am in my full physical and spiritual power. I wonder what time of year holds that kind of power for you?

In the past, we would perform ceremonies at home where we physically worked with the elements of earth and water. We would bring a small amount of earth or water into our space, enter into a transfigured state, and infuse it with messages of love, light, harmony, and peace. Afterward, we would return these offerings to the land or a body of water, allowing these blessings to ripple out and be shared with the earth and waters all around the planet.

For this equinox ceremony, I would invite you to go into nature and find some earth you can bring home. And go to a body of water and find some water to bring home. And then perform your transfiguration ceremonies and on the equinox let’s all return our piece of earth to a place in nature and the transfigured and divine water into any body of water where you live.

And if we perform our ceremonies in the same time period it just adds to the power of the messages of love that the earth and water carry around the planet touching every life form in our sacred web of life! It also adds to feeling of being part of a beautiful global community working together in behalf of all of life.

I wish you a beautiful fall or spring depending on if you live in the Northern or Southern hemisphere. And our beautiful international community joins together to wish you and all of life the same!

Happy equinox!

The full moon is on September 7.  Let’s join our hearts and Inner Source together as we perform our transfiguration ceremony for all of life. As we did on the equinox let’s keep emanating light from within and let it flow through the River of Life as this light and love touches every being in our sacred web of life.

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 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.

Transmutation News August 2025

Before this column was called the Transmutation News it was a different column called A Fall to Grace which was out of my visionary novel. I self-published the book before people were self publishing. I actually still have about 1000 copies in storage. I don’t have the energy to send them to Amazon or Barnes or Noble or anywhere to keep it selling. It was a very beloved book for many years, especially for teenagers. It became something like a cult classic for them.

The theme of the book was somewhat autobiographical. And the main metaphor in the book is learning how to flow down the River of Life. For those of you following my current work with horizontal journeying that is the metaphor I am using. For on a river, you need to keep moving forward you can’t move backwards. And one of the themes of the book is that the River of Life will take you to many places, but you must learn how to take care of yourself along the way.

We are living in challenging times which many of us have been through before. I apologize for having to repeat this in every column, but we are just looping. In my lifetime we have seen times as challenging as now. The dramas, the power over, the greed, and corruption were just different. But the energies were the same.

So as we go down the River of Life and wake up to the loop the collective is stuck in, it is YOUR choice to keep moving forward. And this would be a powerful journey or meditation for you to do this month is how to keep moving forward. For I think all of you who are stuck in the current illusion being played out are realizing that you are in a dangerous place on an emotional and mental level. So it is your choice of when and how you choose to move forward.

Call on all your spiritual allies in all worlds. In your journeys visit different helping spirits you have been working with and pose the questions about asking to be shown the illusion you are currently living out as if it was reality and how to shift and how to move forward.

They will help you. Call on the moon, the sun, the elements, the stars, the galaxies, the nebulae, the universe and connect with them as well as with your helping spirits. And Time is an amazing helping spirit to journey to.

I have found these journeys to be so helpful to me and my students who are participating with me in journeying to these greater forces.

I do have multiple therapy licenses and have focused so much on my work with trauma. I had the blessing to be taught Soul Retrieval by my power animal, which has helped tens of thousands of people. Now my students who I am working with are seeing how much they allowed themselves to split into different parts of the world focusing on too many struggles, really hurting them on a very deep level by doing this. As humans, we are not meant to have our attention on so many people, so many places in the world, so much scrolling on a screen. It is hurting our brains doing this.

I am now teaching it is time to call yourself back. Call back all these scattered parts you have floating all over the world. And bring them back to a centered YOU. No one is going to take care of you except you.

I am doing EMDR tapping only of positive messages I want to give to my brain and body right now. I did get certified in EMDR many, many moons ago when EMDR was first brought out into the world. I am using EMDR only to give my brain positive messages. And every day I do this, I feel a happiness growing out from what seems like nowhere. With the brain disorder I manage and the pain and discomfort I have been in for over 10 years now, this is a true miracle. So our brains can change. We can feed our brains good messages, and our brain will listen and partner with our spirit and soul to create a good life for yourself, which will ultimately help on a global level by feeding the ethers now with some good energy.

EMDR is not for people who have not done trauma therapy, as it can wake up a trauma. I have spent years clearing trauma through EMDR so I can use it solely in the ways I am using it now.

But if you are in therapy, you might ask your therapist to try this with you of feeding and programming your brain with new messages and instructions for how to create a better dimension of reality for yourself.

Spend time in Nature, as we have been doing. Nature shows TRUTH when we need to hear it and experience the natural world instead of the artificial world we have created.

We need to spend our energy on transmuting the pollution in the elements that give us life, so using spiritual methods we can absorb good nutrition from the food and water we drink and the air we breathe. There are no scientific methods that will clear pollution for us in this lifetime, so this is your work to do for yourself and your families.

I have a lot more to say and share, but I realize that our capacity to absorb right now is limited. So I will stop here and continue next month.

You do not have to crash right now. Where are the spiritual tools you have been developing for these times? Find them and use them! Trust in yourself and have faith in your work. This is so important right now.

The dismemberment on Earth will continue until more people wake up. So we have a way to go through obstacles on the River of Life if you choose to live out the drama with the collective. Take care of yourself so you don’t go down. The River of Life will take you to many places, but you have to learn how to take care of yourself along the way.

The full moon is August 9. This is the time to deepen your work with remembering the truth of who you are, the eternal spirit you are, the love you are, the light you shine. Under the costume you are wearing in this body and this lifetime, there is only a being of light. If you have been working with transfiguration, you already know this. So let go of the costume, and you don’t even need to do anything at this point. For you are just true divine light and let that light just be free to go wherever your body needs it and out in the energetic field of the Earth lifting up life itself!

Announcements:

In Sacred Mysticism of Egypt, Fotoula Adrimi explains the initiations and teachings of HEKA, what the ancient Egyptians described as the mystical power that creates and sustains all. She shares her experiences and rituals with the Egyptian Goddess Isis, who, for almost twenty years, brought Fotoula into a world where spiritual awakening was possible and whose paradigms can help all of life now. With Isis’s guidance, Fotoula leads us to a path of mysteries that have been found hidden beyond the monuments, statues, pyramids, and hieroglyphs. This book is about the extraordinary changes we can make through embracing the understanding that we are beings of divine light. 

As you all know Renee Baribeau and I are in our seventh year of our podcast The Shamans Cave. I speak with Renee for 30 minutes to an hour before we record. I am always so appreciative of the wisdom she has gathered in her lifetime. Truthfully if I could still travel, I would be on this adventure with Renee and her group. Renee Baribeau is leading a 10-day pilgrimage to the Cotswolds this October 1-10 in the UK then teaching a full day workshop on Saturday October 11 in London. If this speaks to you, she’d love for you to consider joining. thepracticalshaman.com/england-cotswolds/

For this month’s announcements I am sharing my own resources for inspiration and to help you find peace and harmony in your life.

On the homepage there are a list of Resources that includes short articles I wrote on shamanism and Medicine for the Earth practices. I also have a lot of You Tube videos listed you can watch.

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. If you are lookin for how to deal with your toxic thoughts How to Heal Toxic Thoughts is a short and powerful book I wrote.

“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.

Transmutation News July 2025

Since 2000 in the Transmutation News, I have using “the formula”: Intention + Union + Love + Harmony + Concentration + Focus + Imagination = miracles and transmutation.

I still work with these elements as a key to the Medicine for the Earth work. Included in these I believe you can see Connection is part of all of these elements in this formula. But I don’t write or talk about Connection in the way we really need to connect right now.

I do always emphasize that the most important practice in shamanism to do is to create an unbreakable bond and connection to your helping spirits, the helping ancestors of the land, and the helping ancestors. This is something I find lacking in modern day practices in shamanism today. People still believe it is “them” doing the work when we are only a hollow bone for the helping spirits and the deeper and stronger we connect with them the more miracles we see in our shamanic work and in our lives.

In shamanism it is known that everything that exists is alive and has a spirit. That means the Earth, Air, Fire, Water, the Sun, the Moon, the Universe, the Galaxies, the Stars, Space, and Time. These are all living beings who are alive and if we connect with them enough to feel their power, strength, wisdom, love, and light in our own bodies, just use your imagination to feel the strength, power, and peace you will feel within you. And then you have an incredible source of power emanating throughout you, filling up any sense of emptiness, fear, state of illness, depression, anxiety and the list goes on. Just imagine what filling yourselves with the energy of these life forms will feel like for you.

I encourage you to journey to these great forces that are without and within to learn more about the wisdom and love that they have to share at this time in your life and in this time on Earth.

This all takes us into learning how to live shamanism as a way of life which is what will lead us to living in new dimensions filled with all the beauty and wisdom of the life we wish to live.

I feel with what I shared I don’t need to say anything else this month. I feel and know if you do this practice and keep it up your life will change in ways you could never even come close to imagining at this stage of your life. Everything will change for you in beautiful and unexpected ways. And add to that connecting to your ancestors and the ancestors of shamanism.

The full moon is July 10. This is a wonderful time to feel your connection to all the forces in nature within and without, to strengthen your transfiguration work. With so much happening in our personal lives and on the planet it is a blessing to have an international community that comes together spiritually on the full moon to emanate your spiritual light that shines so brightly within. Remember to absorb that light into all your cells first and then with no effort allow that light to flow throughout our incredible Sacred Web of Life.

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

My longtime student Jacqueline Teoh’s book Awaken Your Soul: Finding Grace Through the Transformative Power of Darshan is now available. Through masterful storytelling, she describes how our shamanic work together led to her understanding that the sacred exists in every moment and can be glimpsed by anyone through the ancient Hindu practice of Darshan.

Transmutation News June 2025

As I am preparing for my new Shift Network Journey Group Membership Circle, I have been reflecting on what I feel is an important focus. For we know there are so many communities and lost civilizations that found a way to create harmonious ways of living and evolved out of the denser collective ways of thinking. They learned to live in a more harmonious way. We can do the same by using our thoughts and energy, and adding to that doing deep inner work on our own unresolved emotions. This all leads us to create a road map into a healthier way of life. So I am excited about focusing on this aspect of our work for 3 months with a group of people who are trained in shamanic journeying to the three worlds.

As I have been sharing Isis’ message that we are in a sink or swim cycle, I love the idea of swimming together in community.

I have been re-reading some of my old books where I wrote about topics like this, not to be inspired for the group I will be leading, but to inspire myself. I know it might sound strange, but I find when I was younger I really explored some deep topics that I don’t write about or teach anymore. As we keep making changes, we absorb a lot of the wisdom we learned along our path of life. And I find some of the books I wrote when I was younger contain wisdom that is so important to me now. It is like my younger self is teaching me how to create and live a good life.

 I am really getting a lot of strength and resilience from reading stories from the younger part of me, as I was newer on the path of transmutation and transfiguration.

I remembered a story I always used to share when I wrote and taught trainings. And this is such important information for the times we live in now. There is so much in politics and world events that has the public casting rage to people in power. But we have to understand that people in power know how to use energy to keep feeding their own power. And this means they can use the energy of hate to grow stronger.

Here is a story I used to share in all my workshops to demonstrate this. On earth, we deal with separation and in the unseen we deal with unity where all is seen as energy that is neutral. In my Medicine for the Earth Trainings, I share that although all energy can be seen as neutral, first we need to take responsibility for what energies we are sending into the collective and how to work with this. I think it is important to take responsibility for the energies we carry and emanate. So please don’t get confused about me bringing me up that all energy is neutral.

I am sharing a teaching story about how people in power might be feeding off of any energy, whether it is love or hate. In some of my books I share about this powerful practice of perceiving all energy as neutral.

Back in the early 1990s, I was teaching a residential workshop on shamanism, and we did not have evening sessions. Our retreat center was in a forested area where there was nowhere to go at night. So we played shamanic games, told stories, and danced at night, which was a wonderful way for our group to bond and learn more from each other.

One night after class I taught a shamanic game of seeing using bones. In this game, there are two teams.

Two people on one team hold bones in their clasped hands. One bone is unmarked and one bone has a circle carved into it. This team is called the Hiding Team.

Then there is the Seer Team. A person on the seer’s team needs to be able to look through the clasped hands and point to the hand that is hiding the bone marked with a circle. This takes an amazing amount of concentration.

The people on the seer’s team put their hands on the shoulders of the seer and sends energy that helps the seer keep their shamanic concentration and focus. Meanwhile, the hider’s team is making so much noise that is cacophonous to throw off the concentration of the seer.

I played this game in groups for years. And it is a very difficult game to play in our culture where concentration has always been an issue. So when I did find someone who can see well and won the game for their team in a short amount of time, I wanted to have a conversation on the strategy used. For I always find some strategy is used. I find being lucky does not win this game.

At one of these games a woman stepped up in her team to be a seer and won the game in less than 15 minutes, which is extraordinary.

I took her outside and asked her if she was willing to share the strategy she used. And she did. She was a musician in the symphony. And she found at a performance people came in excited, tired, angry from their day, depressed, and all the variety of emotions we carry from our day into an evening event. Even listening to beautiful music, you can still be immersed in anger.

This student of mine learned how to transmute and absorb all the energy being sent out into the room from the audience into the most positive energy that allowed her to be at her absolute best at a performance. She found energy is energy, and it can all be used to give us more strength if we know how to transmute it and use it.

And this is how she won the bone game. All the cacophony from the Hider’s Team was more energy she could absorb and use to be the best musician she could be.

So use your imagination to ponder how much some of the people who you hate are using that energy to strengthen their own power. It is something to ponder on. Are we actually feeding those in power with an enormous amount of energy they can use to create more challenges? It is an interesting concept to think about.  

The full moon is June 11. This is a time to come together as one breathing heartbeat and one point of light. Let’s gather our powerful energies and transfigure into our brightest light as we continue to heal ourselves and bring more and more light and love to all of life on this great Earth.

If you are a new reader of the Transmutation News, please read Creating a Human Web of Life on the homepage for instructions for our full moon ceremony.

We celebrate and welcome in the solstice on June 20. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year and when the Earth poles have its maximum tilt towards the sun.

In shamanism this has been seen as a time of renewal. And celebrating the sun’s power to sustain us is such important work to do. Take some time in nature at your favorite spot or outdoor landscape. And focus on your heart and your body. Go within and ask what practices do I need for my own renewal as I focus on my connection with the sun and all of life. This is a great journey to do.

Join me in celebrating the solstice, whether you live in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere – we greet a new cycle for us to step into while we deepen our relationship with our life-giving Sun!

And please join me in welcoming and blessing Dorota Madrzyk who is now a new translator for us. She has gracefully volunteered to translate the Transmutation News into the Polish language! Thank you Dorota, this is a huge gift!

Announcements:

I am leading 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 starts June 3 and goes through August. 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 too and exploring how some lost civilizations found a way to create a dimension to live in separate from the general collective to live a life of beauty and grace.

When I used to teach in person workshops on Experiencing the Shamanic Journey, we would do a divination journey to pose a question to the spirits to answer a question for another participant in the group. I could have 100–150 people in a workshop or less. But for over 40 years, I went around the room and helped each person in the role of shamanic practitioner word their question in behalf of their partner correctly. So I learned so much about asking the correct questions to the helping spirits that give us our best and deepest answers.

There are some really great questions I have, to ask to the spirits on how to unpack the lives we are living and our ways of thinking to create a new personal dimension of reality to step into. And I am so excited in helping in asking the right questions, so the helping spirits can guide us with more power and focus.

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.

The sessions begin on Tuesday morning June 3 10AM – 11AM MDT and runs every Tuesday morning until August 19.

Again, I am looking for a wonderful community to swim with during these times!

I just re-read How to Heal Toxic Thoughts. I am so happy I wrote this book. Even I forgot about some of the amazing tools I shared for transmuting energy that I don’t wish to absorb.

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 in.

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.

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.

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.

Polishing the Path of the Soul” (my audiobook) 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”. I was in such a deep spiritual place when I spent a week recording this audiobook.

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!

Announcements:

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 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.

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.

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

She has presented her research at 124 international scientific conferences.

Presentation 3 Title: Arctic Herbs for Health and Wellbeing

This presentation will cover some of Katja’s favourite Arctic herbs for health and wellbeing. Katja has followed the footsteps of her mother and great-grandfather and is now putting her life long experience in herbs into practice as CEO of Arctic Warriors. Her mother has a strong background in traditional medicine, and healers run in the family as far back as she’s been able to trace. Katja’s favorite herbs are garden angelica and roseroot cultivated at Katja’s homestead in Narkaus and also produced by agreement by roughly ten cultivators across Lapland. In addition to cultivated plants, her products use wild herbs such as nettle and northern sweetgrass. 

Katja Misikangas is Founder and CEO of Arctic Warriors Ltd. based in Rovaniemi, Lapland, Finland. She is a fourth-generation healer and herbalist raised in the Arctic wilderness and deeply rooted in Finnish Lapland above the Arctic Circle. Knowledge of herbs and folk medicine runs in her family.

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.
