Transmutation News – August 2021

I have exciting news to start with! I am so delighted and beyond grateful that Sylvia Edwards, our webmaster, converted my old HTML website to a new www.sandraingerman.com. The site is nothing less than stunning and exquisite. Please join me in welcoming the new www.sandraingerman.com. I am finally stepping into the 21st century thanks to Sylvia Edwards. And I had a wonderful support person Aimee transforming the 20 years of Transmutation News into blogs. Thank you Aimee!

Please join me in going to view www.sandraingerman.com.

We are seeing so many changes on the planet and in the collective consciousness. There are a lot of people still stuck in illusions of life that keep us separated from each other and the web of life. But in the spiritual world we are making progress. Some are disappointed in how much progress is being made. I find myself feeling the same disappointment except when I reflect on my own lengthy process of personal healing. In our culture we want immediate change. And we know in nature change can happen so quickly. And in some ways consciousness in the spiritual community is changing rapidly. Meanwhile some people are getting more lost in the illusion and the energies of division and fear. Change in nature happens in its own perfect timing – a teaching we must surrender to.

I already have shared that I was surprised to feel a shift in my energy and a shift in the spiritual community after we experienced some big astrological transits this winter. I was cynical about feeling much of a change in consciousness for it felt like we were so entrenched in too many illusions.

But I did start to notice a softening inside myself starting to happen. It felt like the hardness of my shell that had developed through all my traumas, as we’ve all gone through in life, just created different emotional and mental states that kept me from my highest spiritual identity.

I actually started to notice a change in my own spiritual consciousness many months before we went through all the transits. I just started to talk to my students about feeling like it was time to stop talking about my teachings and to actually do more transmissions and emanating love and light. But I didn’t really know exactly how to put this into action. In all my years of teaching I have definitely allowed love and light to flow through me. But this is while I am busy lecturing and leading experiential journeys in my workshops. I wasn’t exactly sure how to put into motion just emanating energies in my workshops or in my client sessions. And I continue working in the way that I have and always make sure that kind and loving thoughts are in my heart whenever I work with my students or clients.

I let go of trying to force a way of teaching where I would be emanating higher universal energies. This work then and now still seems to be a combination of teaching and allowing myself just to be love and beam light in the process.

The question about moving to transmitting energies came up for me years ago, and I am still finding my way by just allowing my own spiritual evolution to shift and change how I interact with the outside world. For me everything is a work in progress. If a different way of working is to come, I trust it will come in its own time. I have learned that as long as I stay in the flow of life my levels of trust take so many burdens of worry off my shoulders.

I remember so many years ago saying to my guardian spirit that I wanted to stay here long enough to see the end of the story. He responded to me “There is no end to the story.” So we just keep moving forward on our personal and collective journey.

When we realize we are on our personal karmic journey we can let go of judgment of others as we have our own karma to live out.

This letting go of judgment and letting karma do its job is not punishment, rather cause and effect. We can drop the burden of how we perceive all that is wrong. It creates space to focus on what is right and allows our heart to soften and open more to emanate love and light and to understand our ultimate journey is one with the creator.

I found myself moving out of the energy of judgement in the last month. Something just naturally started to shift in me. And every time I start to judge myself or others, I make a choice to emanate love and light instead. This choice is becoming simply automatic for me and a way of life. I actually feel a soft light start to move through my body and judgement simply melting out me. I can’t quite explain the softness and yet power of the feeling. But it is like a moving very soft vibration.

If we take the time to find quiet so we are not so overstimulated we can meet some really beautiful parts of ourselves in our Inner World. But we need time and silence to really drop in to a state of peace that allows us to shift how we behave in the outer world.

I feel like right now we are all being called to do what we feel passionate about, do whatever practices and activities that feel like they feed our energy, transmit the higher energies our spirits choose to share with us, and if we follow the flow of the river of life then we can always trust where life is taking us and we don’t have to fight so hard.

We can’t push the river and in life we are all on our personal journey.

I want to thank Mara Bishop again for her wonderful offering she shared with us last month. In my haste to leave for a trip I did not share Mara’s website. So I want to give it to you now. Mara has a new book out that I have announced on the Transmutation News. Mara is listed on www.shamanicteachers.com in North Carolina. She is brilliant practitioner and teacher. Her new book is titled Shamanism for Every Day.

This month Chetna Lawless is sharing some of her work with us. Chetna is a good friend of mine. We have been through a lot of adventures together. And Chetna was one of my assistants in teaching my Teacher Training in Scotland. She is very experienced with her work and emanates true unconditional love. Chetna lives in the UK and her website is www.vision-voyages.com.

Here is the link for her video for this month’s Shamans Are Gardeners of Energy:

Chetna called it a ceremony for “The Golden Harvest in Your Inner Garden”.

The full moon is August 22. Let us bring together our highest selves and with passion and energy radiate the light we know that can transmute the toxins and negative states of consciousness in our collective. But we must have patience when we work on this larger scale and keep up our work.

Perform your preparation work and appreciate yourself and all the Earth, wind, sun, moon, stars, and waters provide for you. Yes, they move in extreme ways sometimes creating huge climatic obstacles in our life. But they are life itself.

Appreciate yourself, the elements, and our circle. Experience your deep inner shine and let it radiate within and throughout the Earth. Let you heart open to unconditional love and let that energy flow from you. And imagine all our light and love weaving together like the beauty of the Northern Lights.

Transmutation News – June 2021

I have found myself reflecting on a topic that has so many layers to it. Over the past few years I have written multiple columns where the core of the teaching was how ancient cultures sung their unique cultural song of creation. This teaching taught how singing the song of creation helped the shaman, healers, the community dismember illness as well as what else needed to be dissolved. Songs were then sung to re-weave harmony and balance. The singing actually acts as a true incantation of having the power to dismember, dissolve, discreate, dissolve, and destroy. And then the song of creation was used to remember, to create, reweave, nurture, and to sing rebirth back into the community again.

So those of you who have been reading my column over the years, you have read about my complete fascination with how ancient cultures have used singing the song of creation to dissolve what needs to be dismembered and then next to sing the song of creation to remember the health, balance, and harmony that needs to be reweaved back into the web of life, back into the collective, back into the community, or back into the client.

So the song of creation was really important to shamanic cultures because the song of creation is what gave values and a roadmap of a way of life to the people. And as you know in most of my books I’ve shared about writing your own creation story especially about how much love went into your creation. There is nothing more life changing then to absorb in all your cells the unconditional love that went in creating you.

So the question that comes up for me is around songs and around the power of songs. If shamans and shamanic cultures use songs and chants with so much power to create magic and healing or to create dismemberment of what needed to be destroyed that means songs have the power to create or destroy. This led me to thinking about the songs that we sing to ourselves throughout the day. What are we creating through our music?

I listen to the songs I still love to dance to and, when I listen to the words of what I’m dancing to I really start to wonder what is being created in the collective by the vibration of these words being sung over and over and over again. You are not newcomers to my work so I don’t think that I have to explain this.

My question and what I am reflecting on is how are we using music today for creating a better life for ourselves, for the web of life, and for the planet?

It’s an interesting question to ponder. it’s an interesting issue to journey on and reflect on as we move into the solstice which is another time of change of cycles on the planet. Summer and winter are strong seasons of creation and dismemberment.

June 20 we welcome in the solstice, another change in cycles in our Earth and in our lives.

Summer is a really strong season of growth and creation and this could be a very powerful time to be disciplined about the words that you use throughout the day and your daydreams that you allow yourself to loop over. But also reflect on the words of the songs that you’re listening to and the songs that you’re singing. Ask yourself what are you creating?

In the Southern Hemisphere you might want to reflect on the songs that you’re singing and do they dismember what needs to be dismembered and destroyed out of your life and out of the collective?

I believe that this will be interesting and revealing practice that will bring new ways of being into your life and in the world during the changing times as we move into the solstice.

More people are waking up to the need for a different way of life. And a different way of life incorporates how we operate physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. And there’s so much that we can change by just focusing on our spiritual practices that we do when we don’t even know that we’re doing them. Because every word, every thought, every day dream that you have is part of your spiritual practice so you’re constantly doing spiritual work when you are out in the world, driving, on public transportation. You are constantly performing spiritual practices.

In thinking about words, thoughts, daydreams, singing creation songs, bringing in unconditional love reflect on what I’ve written. Perform journey work, or meditate, or spend some time in nature and feel if this feels true to you and then make some decisions on how you will change your daily behavior.

When we sing our own songs we build our own path and move forward.

The full moon is on June 24. Let’s bring in the spiritual practice of how we use sound as part of our monthly ceremony of creating a human web of light. Om contains all mantras and is the original primal sound of the creator. Work with sounds, songs, humming. Do what you feel supports the deepest part of shining your radiant light into the world during this time.

If you’re a new reader to the Transmutation News please read Creating a Human Web of Light on the homepage.

I wish everybody a beautiful solstice, and I ask that all of us in our global circle sing a song of love on the solstice to life, to the web of life, to everyone in our circle, and to everything that is alive on this planet and to the Earth and all the elements.

As we greet the solstice here is an audio recording where I lead our circle to an altar room where we can do our work for years to come. Listen and you will love it:

I know all of you are familiar with the work of Alberto Villoldo. But some of you might not know that his wife Marcela Lobos is a well-known shaman in Chile. She has made a huge contribution to the world of shamanism with her work. She is an incredibly compassionate woman. And I truly support her and the work she is bringing into the world.

In Awakening Your Inner Shaman: A Women’s Hero’s Quest Marcela reveals the maps offered by the shamanic Medicine Wheel and the hero’s journey to awaken your inner wisdom. She shares a compass to live a remarkable life, not because of material or outer success, but to cultivate presence and courage in the face of personal challenges and societal unrest. Her story, from growing up in a war-torn country to being initiated by the shamans of the Andes and becoming a teacher and a medicine woman, offers a flesh-and-bones context for each step of the archetypal journey to Self. Also, with her examples about other people crossing the veils from ordinary to extraordinary, Marcela invites you to a new level of openness to perceive the mystical world beyond appearances.

Mara Bishop’s new book Shamanism for Every Day: 365 Journeys is available now. For more information about Mara please visit WholeSpirit.com

With 365 unique journey topics that can be used in any order, or as meditations, Shamanism for Every Day offers an invaluable guide to anyone searching for daily wisdom, spiritual insights and connection to the sacred.

Mara is a truly gifted shamanic practitioner and teacher listed on shamanicteachers.com. She has a true gift of sight. I love her work and how she communicates.

Dr. Margaret holds a PhD in psychology and she is a relationship expert, noted public speaker, workshop leader, educator, consultant, and artist. She has appeared on many radio and TV shows, including the Oprah show. Her work has helped thousands of people change their lives!

Over the years I have had email contact with Margaret who is one of the most compassionate people I have met. She has helped so many work through trauma using her inner Bonding Process. And now she is off on her own teaching her own new webinar.

Margaret wrote an ebook that speaks to such issues as:

You could confidently trust your intuition and make clear decisions without second guessing yourself
A multitude of opportunities and synchronistic events just find their way to you
You only allow people in your field who love and adore you and treat you in the most loving and respectful way possible
You feel supported in all areas of your life so no matter what happens you know something better is in the works for you.

What if all of your relationships in your life could be madly in love with you?

How amazing would this feel!?

There are four main mistakes Dr. Margaret sees people making that keep them from falling madly in love with themselves.

This is why she wrote an e-book called The 4 Mistakes That Block Self-Love and Relationships.

Transmutation News – May 2021

Over the last months I have shared that I had been dealing with a problem with mold. I completed all kinds of treatments and definitely had success. But I remembered a really powerful story that I had forgotten about. And this is the work I have moved to now.

Back in the late 1980s through the 90’s I taught a lot of workshops on the East Coast. I had a very large following there. But my issue was that all the meeting rooms where I taught in and the room I stayed in were literally covered with black mold. It was like black mold was the wallpaper of the rooms.

This was before Integrative Medicine became popular. I had a doctor who specialized in unusual cases, especially environmental. I talked to my doctor about my mold problem and how bad it was getting. When I would teach workshops my joints would get so stiff I could barely move or walk.

We talked about different treatment modalities. Again, back in those days it was not known how to deal with mold medically. Today I can’t have a conversation without mold coming up as part of it. It is such a pervasive issue these days.

So my doctor told me an incredibly inspirational story, and I was actually going to follow up on it. She had a couple of clients who had a similar extreme mold allergy as I did. And like myself they could not change their circumstances.

So they found out about a church that I think it was in North Carolina. The treatment was to travel to this church to stay there for healing. And the healing was basically to heal your connection with the Father and Source. It was believed that all illness came from a disconnection from God, Source.

So what they would do with people who had a mold allergy is they would put you in one of those really really old trailers where every inch was covered in black mold. That was where you lived for the whole time that you were there, typically for weeks at a time.

And then during the day you would sit in church, and you would work out your issues with the Father. I do know that the two women who went with the mold allergy were completely healed by their time at the church.

I never went to the church. I can’t remember why. I find this unusual because I’m so interested in healing. I would have loved to go witness their phenomenal work. There was no abuse. People were treated with love, and people healed while they were there.

So the reason I’m writing about this is because it falls into some of our belief systems. Because right now there are so many mysterious illnesses that people are dealing with on the planet. It is really quite extraordinary. Either there are no answers or there are very famous doctors just talking theory, but don’t really have a lot to back it up with.

We are entering new times in many ways. We have moved into a time where consciousness is changing. In this time our bodies are changing too. What kind of trauma do our bodies go through when we are evolving spiritually and shape shifting into different beings? That in itself is an interesting question to consider.

I want us to understand that although every illness has many layers to it there are physical, emotional, and spiritual causes to every illness. But there are also more treatment options available to us then often times we realize. In my own case I also had to go out on my own in that the medical profession could not help me. In all the personal journey work I was doing to try to find the emotional cause of my issue I did discover during a deep time of grief when I had disconnected from myself and from Source. And my work has been to reconnect as I’ve been sharing about the importance of this time.

As we are in changing cycles, and again cycles change very slowly in nature, there is a lot inside of us that’s changing. We need to stay connected to ourselves, to the web of life, to our helping spirits, and to Source. With these reconnected energies we will stay in the flow while still getting our lessons but in a more graceful way. All creatures are all connected. We tend to watch the web of life as if it is an image outside of us on TV. We actually have to be woven back into the web of life to be truly healthy.

During this month look at where you might have disconnected in unhealthy ways and where you need to reconnect again. I want to refer you to my book The Book of Ceremony because it’s filled with incredible ceremonies that will help you reconnect to the people, places, and events that create a healthy environment in which to heal.

The full moon is May 26. Let’s really put our attention into re-connecting to our spiritual light, to our circle, to Source, to the web of life, and to the Earth. And let’s flood beautiful loving and light filled energies throughout every part of this amazing planet.

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

For this month’s recording I am using an audio recording that Karen Furr and I made together. Karen is a brilliant teacher listed on www.shamanicteachers.com and loves transfiguration work and leads a lot of groups. In this program I give the entire history of transfiguration and how I got into the work. Then Karen leads us on a ceremony of transfiguration. The reason that I decided to work in this way is that Isis has been showing me that there are many different qualities of light. And in June, for the solstice, I would like to explore some of these different qualities of light in a journey or a ceremony. But I thought since many of you are new to this monthly column and new to the work of transfiguration that this would be a good way to bring you into the work so that you’ll be ready to jump in with the rest of our group in June.

Again, please note that this program we recorded is only audio.

Have a beautiful month celebrating healthy and joy filled connections.

I want to say something about the Announcements. I started an announcement section to let you know about my workshops and when my books were coming out. That expanded to wanting to support some brilliant shamanic teachers. But I realize they are long and that most of you not interested just skip them.

I am writing this as the Announcement section is very long this month. There are classes and events that feel too precious to miss. And I don’t usually say that.

But in the future I will be limiting my announcements..

Many years ago I introduced Quincy Vechi Davis to our community. He reached out to me as a rising Hip Hop musician to talk about creating peace through his songs and music. Many of you helped me me to support this young budding artist who brought love, light, and prayers for peace and nature into his music.Z

Quincy Vechi Davis is no longer a kid and has been producing amazing albums and doing some powerful networking. We even plan on creating an App together! Watch for this news!

Please help to support this project.

Voices of the Ancient & Modern Mythology is a project bridging the teachings of wisdomkeepers with the younger generation. Growing up in the age of information where wisdom is hardest to find, we are meeting the youth where they are by offering music videos with empowering messages in the form of cutting-edge, modern music and dynamic visual storytelling. This is a way of introducing ideas to youth (typically high school and middle school students) in an engaging way, to be bridged with documentary segments of elder teachings, leading into talking circles and workshops for creative expression. For more info on the project please visit: http://www.voicesoftheancient.org/

We are currently raising funds to begin this project and have a pending grant award that will match all contributions. Donations can be received through to our partner non-profit, Northwest Alliance for Alternative Media and Education (NAAME) for tax write-off purposes: PO Box 42671, Portland, Oregon 97242

Robert Peng is a renowned Chigong teacher. My husband and I had the gift of staying with Robert and his wife during two conferences Sounds True sponsored. I have to tell you he is the most genuine person I have met and is certainly the “real thing”. There is no way not to feel touched by his own initiation into the work.

Transmutation News – April 2021

I remember when I was about seven years old, growing up in Brooklyn, I was quite disturbed by the level of inequality I witnessed. I could not understand why some people could have more than others. I could not understand why some people had food and some people didn’t. Why did one job pay so much more than another job when everybody had to put in the same hours?

So obviously I struggle with the issues that come up during our lives as we watch a world that is so overpopulated. There just is no equality. There are people who can get services, there are people who can’t, there are people who can get shelter and food, and some are starving and trying to find shelter. This includes all our precious nature beings.

There’s so much division going on right now, and I think everything has become so exponentially out of balance that those “in authority” take more measures to control our actions and behavior. At the same time, we want our own sovereignty and free will.

One of my brother’s friends was a real intellect, and we had these really deep philosophical conversations when I was seven, and he was probably 10 or 11. We were trying to solve all the problems in the world and discussing the issues of why everyone didn’t have equal resources.

I am bringing this up due to all the issues around people having so much that they don’t even know what to do with their wealth and resources and some people who are literally just trying to find a meal and a little bit of shelter. We are all compassionate people. I imagine you think about our social issues in a variety of ways.

This is not a new issue on Earth. It feels like the division on the planet right now is growing to amazing levels. We can actually watch and feel different dimensions of reality forming as divisions over climate, health, politics, race, spirituality, vaccines, and the list goes on and keeps growing.

I am not writing about this in this column to offer a true solution to heal the inequality issues that we’re facing. The example we can turn to right away is the vaccine and the vaccine is now splitting populations into multiple classifications. So, the division keeps growing.

So, what are the responses to this need of humans and all nature beings to have basic rights for freedom and resources. With so many people we are just not getting the help everyone needs. This issue does cause me to lose sleep to see children and parents struggling to find a way to just get through one more day. I have been there. I have not experienced the traumas that people around the world have to face. But not having food and not knowing where my next shelter is going to be is something I faced a lot. I do know how this wears you down emotionally.

And all the division on so many levels is wearing us all down emotionally to where we are reevaluating our beliefs, morals, philosophy, and our spiritual practices.

On a physical level we can take action by donating to help others in need. We need to be the voice for the children of all living species who can’t talk about their need for food, for shelter, their needs for kindness, honor, and respect.

We can do acts of kindness for others. On a spiritual level we can show honor and respect to everyone who needs some acknowledgement.

People constantly tell me this is not enough. But I have first-hand experience with this. When I had to panhandle to get money for food there was a big difference of how I felt if someone spit on me or if someone showed me kindness – even a smile or an inspiring and hopeful word.

Our attitude and spiritual behavior counts. It does make a difference.

People can’t keep saying kindness and love is not enough. It is food for the soul! And that love can keep someone’s light burning for quite a while, especially when it feels quite dim.

In Walking in Light, I shared a beautiful ceremony I love to do in workshops at retreat centers. But it is powerful to perform online too. I call this ceremony the Inner Chamber of Light.

In this journey you are met by loving faceless beings who bring you to an Inner Chamber of Light within the Earth. There are millions of people there repairing threads of the web of life. But they do this anonymously. No one can see anyone’s faces. It is a beautiful journey that shows it is not what you accumulated, how famous you are, or what you look like that makes a difference. The only important factor is how much love and light you are emanating throughout the web of life. And the key is not needing recognition- just doing what is right action.

For this month’s recorded ceremony, I am leading a different version of this ceremony. It is beautiful. It is a journey to observe all the people walking around the world uplifting everyone whether suffering or in joy just by being a presence of light and love.

I invite you to journey when you would like to experience this field of energy, we can create from anywhere that feeds every living being on this great Earth.

Many years ago, I introduced Quincy Davis to our community. He reached out to me as a rising Hip Hop musician to talk about creating peace through his songs and music. Many of you helped me to support this young budding artist who brought love, light, and prayers for peace and nature into his music.

Quincy is no longer a kid and has been producing amazing albums and doing some powerful networking. We even plan on creating an App together! Watch for this news!

Please help to support this project.

Voices of the Ancient & Modern Mythology is a project bridging the teachings of wisdom keepers with the younger generation. Growing up in the age of information where wisdom is hardest to find, we are meeting the youth where they are by offering music videos with empowering messages in the form of cutting-edge, modern music and dynamic visual storytelling. This is a way of introducing ideas to youth (typically high school and middle school students) in an engaging way, to be bridged with documentary segments of elder teachings, leading into talking circles and workshops for creative expression. For more info on the project please visit: http://www.voicesoftheancient.org/
We are currently raising funds to begin this project and have a pending grant award that will match all contributions. Donations can be received through to our partner non-profit, Northwest Alliance for Alternative Media and Education (NAAME) for tax write-off purposes: PO Box 42671, Portland, Oregon 97242

“A beautiful and timely book… Mara Bishop so brilliantly inspires us to remain focused and keep up our spiritual work to be in service to ourselves, our loved ones, and all of life. Each daily practice reminds us that shamanism is a sacred way to living life. These practices are so needed right now to restore balance to the planet and to our own lives.”

Transmutation News – March 2021

I have been sharing that Isis is really encouraging us all to stay present right now. She keeps telling me that we will miss important clues and information that are critical to our survival if we focus too much on what might happen next.

Years ago, I shared a statement that I think is worth repeating. If you can’t digest life you can’t digest your food. If you look at the shelves in every pharmacy the most well stocked shelves are stomach remedies.

When we stay present, we can absorb smaller bits of life to digest. And that eases up on some of the pressure you might be experiencing. Life gets simpler and “more digestible” as we learn to stay present.

We welcome in the spring and fall equinox on March 20. It is amazing how one day just melts into another. Time keeps moving so quickly- another reason to stay present and try to absorb the beauty of life.

I recorded a ceremony for us to welcome in the equinox. The link is below. For those of you who don’t understand English I will write up the ceremony for you to do. I recorded a ceremony to The Cauldron of Light.

As I was looking for instructions that were already written I skimmed through my books The Shaman’s Toolkit and Walking in Light. Both of these books are filled with such timeless wisdom. The Shaman’s Toolkit was written for a non-shamanic audience. But yet it contains all the Medicine for the Earth practices I teach just without talking about shamanism. Walking in Light is a true summary of my work. I hope you will support my books!

The spirits showed me the Cauldron of Light ceremony many years ago. It is a neutral way to perform a fire ceremony. You can release to the light an old hurt, a disappointment, a trauma, a betrayal, you can write a letter to the universe and give it to the Cauldron of Light. You can state your desires. The intention I like to work with is letting go of an old plan and asking for help with bringing in the goodness of life.

Allow your intuition to reveal to you the states of consciousness that you would like to be healed. Call one of your helping spirit spirits to assist you in this work. And hold the intention to travel to a great Cauldron of Light.

What is your intention? Do you feel you have been betrayed by life? Who has disappointed you? Are there people you need to forgive? Do you need do you need to forgive yourself?

Explore events and life situations where you might have been disappointed and now need to find forgiveness in your heart. What energies would you like to clean up and transmute?

Did you harm anyone with your behavior or words? Do you need to forgive yourself? Self-forgiveness is extremely important in the times that we live in.

Allow your inner spirit and your helping spirits to reveal to you the inner states of consciousness that need to be examined, acknowledged, and released. This is an important time for cleansing. Look at connections to people who you need to release. Break your connection with collective energies that no longer serve you so that you are now free to ride a different wave.

Just hold your intention to travel to a great cauldron of divine light and your intention will bring you there. Acknowledge the connections you need to release, ties that need to be broken, the betrayals, disappointments, who you need to forgive, and collective energies that you need to let go of. Release them into the divine light that transmutes their power and energy into love.

You are now freed of energies that bind you to a denser energy of life. You are now free to ride a different wave. Return from this journey experiencing yourself lighter, unburdened, and free.

Dismember, discreate, uncreate, dissolve, destroy that which does not work for you anymore. This is a potent time to do cleansing work. During changing cycles, it is so important to purify and cleanse

Reweave a new plan into your inner landscape.

Please join me in holding our circle in love and light while we welcome in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and fall in the Southern Hemisphere.

We must not forget our full moon ceremony of Creating a Human Web of Light.

The full moon is March 28. Let’s step out of old bubbles that keep our psychic power contained and allow our light to flow freely touching all of life and the Earth. This time on the planet calls for us to nourish the collective with unconditional love and divine light.

Field of Blessings: Ritual and Consciousness in the work of Buddhist Healers, by Ji Hyang Padma, describes the way that the healer’s field catalyzes personal and collective healing. It discusses the way that “biography becomes biology” through the chakras and endocrine system, and ways that ritual reconnects clients with an embodied wholeness. And it looks at core ritual components of the healing process that can be identified across traditional cultures.

Transmutation News – October 2020

Please note that I wrote this column for October before the fires became out of control on the West Coast of the U.S. I thought about adding material. But I think with all I have written in the past about climate change what I wrote here is still perfect.

Those of us reading this column I imagine to be spiritual deep thinkers who have the ability to watch patterns. I know for myself as I watched the Covid appear that the door had opened to other forms of dissolution.

For if you observe patterns like I do the door to dissolution actually opened before the Covid.

There were devastating climatic events all over the world. Two that really touched our hearts and made the news were the fires in the Amazon and in Australia. But there were so many tragic events that simply were not covered in the news.

All these events demanded for a new normal. Did we wake up and listen?

When the Covid came into our collective a new normal was demanded by by the Earth and the forces that be.

Now we watch people desperately trying to get back to their “old” comfortable normal that didn’t force changes unless we were individually impacted.

I find it both fascinating and sad to watch. Now the climatic events are getting so severe when will people actually hear normal as we know it is no more. We really have to embrace and answer the call of the Earth and all of Nature.

In my own life I find the psyche needs time to embrace and integrate the changes. And often this brings us to a place of emotional exhaustion where self care is needed more than ever.

This month look at ways to not just get physical rest but emotional rest. Spend more time in Nature. If the noise of the news and social media is wearing out your nervous system take a break. Find spiritual practices that are regenerating to you. Create prayer altars in your house so you can rest in the sacred space of your house.

Continue to perform your ceremonies to release the hurts, traumas, and states of consciousness holding you back from creating a more balanced and healthier life. And most of all perform ceremonies to forgive yourself, others, and to dream a new dream of the Earth.

If you can’t love yourself there will not be a spiritual practice that contributes to healing yourself or the planet. We came here to experience the same love the Creator or creative forces of the universe have for us. Love is the law. And we broke this spiritual law on so many levels.

We must start here in weaving a new dream for the Earth into being.

And yes, we must do honorable closure ceremonies everyday to thank every living being who died for their unique beauty they brought to the web of life. And then wish them a beautiful journey home filled with grace, light, and love.

I do this everyday. Please join me.

Recently I gave teachers who trained with me permission to teach shamanic healing courses on line- something I said I would never approve of. The reason is if you can’t watch students perform healing work in workshops then the teacher cannot watch for the students’ proficiency. This sets up a ripe situation for future clients to get hurt.

So I gave permission to teachers listed on my website www.shamanicteachers.com to teach online classes for 4-6 students where each student has to perform the healing work in front of the group so they are observed and can receive helpful comments.

This was not a decision I wanted to make especially with the issue of Zoom Exhaustion which is now becoming a psychological label.

But there are people who want to learn soul retrieval, extraction, and psychopomp work to be in service to help others.

Mostly teachers will teach hybrid workshops of teaching preparation journeys online and healing work at a physical workshop with masks and social distancing.

Hopefully we can go back to doing all our work in physical workshops as online training lacks a depth that then leaves students lacking a wealth of shamanic teachings that are transmitted in the physical but can’t be transmitted online.

I really see this as a temporary solution. And I also know the practice of shamanism will morph over the years as conditions demand a new way of working. Shamanism has been changing and evolving since its beginnings.

We have the incredible blessing of two full moons this month October 1 and 31. Let’s gather our spiritual energies together to be a true light for all of life and the Earth. If we don’t weave a web of light within and throughout the Earth what new dream gets created for when the rebirth happens. Let’s do our work to strengthen the web of life for this web is a foundation of life.

Transmutation News – June 2020

In the newspaper I read an interview with a man who said he did not feel life was important enough and wanted to go back to work to protect his children and grandchildren in the future. What a noble gesture.

The issue is that people are more interested in money than they are about life. And that about sums up what many people in the world want – material things. Yes, we need rent money and food. I am not writing this as a debate.

But when does mass humanity get that placing pollutants and poisons in the water we drink from, the earth we eat from, the air we breathe, is not an action that protects loved ones and future generations?

Is this truly what we have come to?

But in reality, I can see outrageous statements made from people of every walk of life, every spiritual and religious tradition. And what I am seeing in everyone’s behavior besides fear is pure rage and anger.

The saddest part of the pandemic for me, besides all the death and suffering, is the division being created. There is division among countries, economic levels, the ill and the healthy, and politics has gotten just crazy and scary.

And enter the spiritual community. We know from all the ancient teachings that magical healing abilities are created when we stand strong together as a collective, as we get to see an exponential rate of healing. But this takes focus and the willingness to work with an incredible amount of discipline to not have weak links that leaks the healing power out of the circle.

The spiritual community seems to have challenges in coming together. Of course, we have our own ways of working. All shamans do. The key is to perform the healing work you are guided to do and not judge what others are doing. If you are emanating love, Light, kindness, honor, and respect, does it really matter how and when people do their work.

Last year I shared a powerful journey I had with Mother Earth. She shared that she is evolving to be part material form and part light, iridescent and transparent. There won’t be survival of the fittest as all the creatures inhabiting the Earth would be in this balance of form and spirit, with much more interplay than we experience now.

This is an evolutionary leap I won’t see in my lifetime. But I can see this as a future time with an Earth filled with beings who understand the power of love and live it rather than speaking about it.

You can only imagine the dissolution of life as we know it to get to this place. And maybe we are experiencing dissolution right now to step into a greater experience of what it means to be human and a nature being. And this new dream includes how we can live in harmonious communities together without domination, but mutual cooperation.

When we look at the core issue, what we are seeing are the egos from all walks of life and viewpoints blaming everyone outside of themselves for everything that is happening from climate change, world issues, the virus, and so on.

This is a time for reflection. We are all facing our death whether from the virus or other earth changes. It is time to go within and own your projections on whom you are blaming and do your work to heal and grow. No matter what happens I want to leave as evolved as possible. Blame leads us away from working with higher energies.

The full moon is June 5. I don’t think I have to tell you how important it is to leave surface practices and go as deep as you can. Let’s join our hands and feel the love for our circle and life. Travel within with so much love in your heart for all of life and shine your divine light on all you love.

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

We also join hands together this month to celebrate the summer/winter solstice. The sun gives us life. Let’s honor the change in seasons and the new motion of the sun. Go outside if possible and lie on the earth. Tell her how much you love her and receive fully how much she loves you! Reflect on the beauty of life.

Wishing you a beautiful solstice!

Stay well and filled with light!

Transmutation News – April 2020

I am delighted to share the news that. I was named by Watkins Mind Body Spirit Magazine as one of the 100 Most Spiritually Influential Living People for 2020. I made it to number 24 on the list. I feel that my work being honored also honors shamanism and all the good work we are all doing.

https://www.watkinsmagazine.com/watkins-spiritual-100-list-for-2020

The Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Spiritual Light work is so important to work with daily. When I first started studying shamanism, I learned that viruses are created from negative thought forms. Think of all the negativity being flooded into our collective due to anger over world politics, the fires in the Amazon, and the fires in Australia.

The Amazon is seen as the lungs of the Earth. And now we have a virus impacting lungs.

Everything is truly connected. I think the changes we are seeing will continue until people not just wake up but shift priorities to life being more important than money.

We have great ability to maintain our health, support our communities with transfiguration work, and do our practices together to transform negative states of consciousness.

I am teaching a special course for The Shift Network where I am taking the most powerful practices of The Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Spiritual Light work and created a seven-week course.

The course will have three levels. We will work on maintaining our personal health physically, mentally, and spiritually. We will perform transfiguration and other healing ceremonies to keep our global circle strong, and we will perform ceremonies for all of life. And of course, we will look at how to share this work in our local communities if this of interest to you.

Not all the material will be new to you. But this course is a way to keep up our practices together keeping them alive and vibrant feeding their power to keep us safe, opening to bigger teachings, expanding our perspective, and joining together for ceremonial work. I will be guiding all the exercises and there are no prerequisites for this course.

The free introductory call will be on April 1 and the course will begin April 14 on Tuesday nights for 7 weeks. The sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend live.

I wrote The April Transmutation News early as I had an upcoming workshop and travels I needed to prepare for. Although this column does not talk about the corona virus, I feel the message shared is so important to maintaining our health.

I was journeying and all of a sudden, my helping spirits started talking to me about the election in the US. I did not ask about the election. It was a spontaneous message. My spirits did not get into detail, but they left me with some huge insights. The path is a little twisty so you will need to follow where their conversation with me took me to.

Around the election the information was quick and simple. I was told that people will vote for the candidate that makes them feel safe and cared for.

This led me to the environment. For when picking leaders just to feel safe the environment is often left out of the mix.

This is where this statement led me. I keep writing that we are nature and not connected to nature. What I was shown that our abuse towards nature is like abusing our organs in our body to the point that the body starts to attack itself with autoimmune issues.

And we are seeing many mysterious autoimmune issues on the planet today. And if we don’t start caring for our body which is nature, the attacks on us by ourselves will keep increasing.

Then this led me to my personal work. I was told that my constant self judgement on what I did wrong instead of acknowledging what I did right is feeding into health problems. For when we don’t feel worthy, are critical of ourselves, and can’t absorb love we end up attacking ourselves. This creates auto immune issues and extreme inflammation which is so prevalent today.

The core of the message for me was if we want to heal ourselves and the planet, we must absorb divine unconditional love, work through how we judge ourselves, and emanate constant love to nature and follow up by changing our actions and behavior towards all the sentient beings we share the Earth with. And we know how these practices feed our soul.

The full moon is April 7. Drop your ordinary concerns and expand your perspective to embrace a larger picture. Perform your preparation work and experience your true brilliance radiating within and throughout this Earth. Let your light and love emanate to every living being on the planet.

Transmutation News – January 2020

I join our radiant circle in wishing our global community a Happy New Year filled with all the best that life has to offer.

How amazing that we are here to welcome in 2020. I know we have readers of a variety of ages. But for many of us 2020 has almost taken on mythical associations. We often have projected 2020 to be the theme of futuristic movies and here we are.

My association with futuristic movies and novels mostly includes a time when we have tapped more into the unseen realms and by increasing concentration and focus create true magic in the form of healing ourselves, others, and the planet. My projection on the year 2020 includes deeper initiations to carve us into the true spiritual beings we were born to be. And then hope returns. For in this state of rebirth we own our potential and that leads us to hope.

In November I was having one of my visionary experiences. I was watching an invisible screen showing me words and thoughts floating by. Some of the strings of words were quite positive and hopeful. Some were quite challenging anchoring me to an unhealthy past and creating a state of stagnation.

The message I received was to grab onto the positive thoughts versus the negative ones.

This metaphor of “grab onto” had deep meaning for me. For I could actually image the action and effect of grabbing onto words and thoughts in my body. I could feel the effect of what states of consciousness I grab onto in my body.

Let us reflect on this as we begin a New Year together as a global community.

Play some spiritual and mind-expanding music. It does not matter what day you choose for this meditation. Let’s imagine ourselves sitting in a giant circle among magnificent trees in an ancient forest. We are in wonder of the ancientness of the land and the strength and support of the trees witnessing us.

The time is dusk which is such a powerful time as the veils between the worlds are so thin. We marvel at the mystery of the forces of nature and how steady they remain during all change. We are as resilient as nature is. We just forget this sometimes.

As we sit together, we notice the compassionate and divine beings from the transcendent realms start to create projections of our daily thoughts and words we use throughout our self talk and interactions with others.

We watch in amazement as we can see how the light and sound of these words and thoughts impact the collective and all of life. Our psyche takes a pause as we can see what magic our words create – dark magic that draws us into states of anger, despair, and hate versus words of power, medicine for ourselves and the Earth that emanate fully the vibration of love and light. We realize we always have a choice of what state of consciousness that we want to grab onto. And with concentration and focus we can make the right choice to feed ourselves and all of life with love and light. But it takes so much discipline to make a choice that shifts us out of our reactive states.

Each member of our circle projects positive words, thoughts, and daydreams into the collective field of energy while we use the methods we have learned to transmute the darkness that comes with our negative way of thinking.

Imagine the alchemy created as we bring out the light of the collective.

What thoughts do you want to grab onto for 2020? Make your choice. For the future is in our hands by the choice you make.

This world is created by mind. To create a reality ruled by spirit we must step through the veil of illusion and step into a beautiful reality created by our daydreams which lead us to the dimension of reality we dream of inhabiting.

Let’s step into a dimension filled with kindness, honor, respect, peace, love, and light.

Let’s commit to shifting our priorities to keep our focus on the reality we can create with our words, thoughts, and daydreams.

Let’s continue to perform our sacred ceremonies as for Shamans performing ceremonies is our greatest vehicle of change.

The full moon is January 10. We started our ceremonial work to create a human web of light on the solstice of 2000. We have been performing this ceremony for 20 years taking us into a new decade.

The spiritual work we have been doing keeps enlivening the web of life. How could it not when thousands of open hearted people join together each month to feed ourselves, Earth, Air, Water, and Fire, all the nature beings, all of life with love.

The key to creating true change is to learn how to obtain deeper states of concentration and focus.

Let’s perform our monthly full moon ceremony Creating a Human Web of Light as if we never performed the ceremony before. This a time to freshen our work together.

Before a sacred ceremony how does your heart call you to prepare when you know all of life will be impacted by your work. The strength of your spiritual vitality and presence weakens with no preparation work. What do you need to do to step away from your day and burdening thoughts and states of consciousness?

For me singing brings me into an ecstatic state of consciousness. What spiritual practices support you attaining an ecstatic state? For shamans journeying and performing ceremonies require entering into an ecstatic state. Try drumming, rattling, chanting, meditating, walking in nature for extended periods of time. Noice the difference of entering into a ceremony spiritually prepared versus going in with all your usual daily thoughts putting a strong anchor down blocking the power of your work.

Once you feel “ceremony ready” cast aside your burdens, travel deep within to your Inner World; your inner landscape and experience your radiant light. It is shining with more power, strength and luminosity than in the past. The light is so bright you can actually see all the rainbow colors within. The light is transformative and is transforming all the cells in both your own organism as well as the organism we refer to as the web of life. We radiate our light with such effortless grace and beauty bringing restorative light to all that is alive.

Please join me in holding our circle in love as we welcome in The New Year. May your ceremonies be filled with joy as we honor the Earth, the elements, and all of life during this powerful time of change of dismemberment and rememberment.

Welcome to 2020!

Transmutation News – July 2019

Over the years of writing my books and the Transmutation News I have shared how people can have different emotional needs during the changing seasons. For me, the time of summer calls me deep within just as many people feel a need to move into a state of “hibernation” in the winter.

Right now I feel my spiritual path is leading me to contribute to the web of life through finding more time to be in silence and transmit and emanate love and light into the collective. Combined with being in summer I am becoming quite the recluse.

After all we are similar to crystals which are brilliant transmitters and receivers of energy.

So much of the communication with nature beings is on a psychic level. Nature beings pick up on energy, they pick up on warnings and important information for their survival, and they communicate through emitting vibrations that make up beautiful songs. For everything in nature sings as does the universe itself.

We don’t understand how many of our thoughts and words end up transmitting chaotic and destructive vibrations and songs into the web of life.

We try to use our own language to connect with and communicate with nature.

But nature is reading the energy we transmit and not our words.

How much are we missing in the dance of life by not opening to the language of vibration that we can transmit and receive? We are missing messages from the environment as well as from the exquisite beings we share the planet with. And we miss the joy of true heart to heart conversation.

We would learn more tools for survival and have deeper interactions with other species if we start to open our invisible eyes and ears and tap into our body knowing. And nature would get to learn about us as we start to communicate with the elements and other species on a heart-to-heart level and also as we are willing to transmit energies of love, honor, and respect by opening our psychic senses. When we do this we naturally open up to a new dimension of life.

Spend more time in nature this month as you sit in silence. Lift the veils between the dense field of realty we tend to inhabit and open to being a crystal transmitter of love and light. Engage your psychic senses and notice the energetic communication you receive and the songs you hear in return.

The full moon is July 16. Begin by asking the moon if you can step into her field of energy. Keep building your relationship with the moon so you feel as if the moon is part of your family. Learn about its exponential power to support you in your work. Take time to prepare before performing your sacred ceremonial work to transfigure. Allow your inner divine light to flow while emanating unconditional love for all of life. Let’s continue weaving a brilliant web of light within and throughout the Earth touching all of life.
