International Shamanic Conference ~ Birthing & Blossoming

Friday, May 27th, 2011

I had such a fabulous time at the 2nd Annual International Shamanic Conference that I just have to share some highlights with you.  Perhaps you will be inspired to seek out some of these presenters, or better yet, attend next year’s gathering! And really, I just like writing about things I am passionate about.

So please ~ as you read, be aware these are shortened versions of my lasting impressions of the variety that I’m willing to share publically.  I will aspire to not ‘butcher’ anyone’s message by inadequate regurgitation. :)

I was blessed to have experienced Tom Cowan facilitating a massive session of Shamanic Tending at various disaster or war sites around the globe. I definitely resonated with the idea of Shamanism Without Borders as well as the shift in thinking from ‘We can Save the Earth’ to ‘We need to heal ourselves, and the Earth is fully capable without us’ it takes our Ego right out of it, and rightly so. I felt a great alignment within me while Tending as opposed to facilitating a more direct Healing. I relished the Celtic vocal elements, a most enchanting and powerful component t ~ particularly to those immersed in reanimating Celtic ways. All of this tied in with a greater personal theme that was unfolding for me during the conference. A calling of what I am to incorporate into my way of life, what I was Retrieving and Re-establishing by other means & experiences over this 5 day event. Such a vibrant and juicy feeling that is! Here is a link to Tom : www.riverdrum.com

Christine Wallace (www.christinemwallace.com) facilitated a most fantastic retrieval of our Unique Gifts during a birthing process. I had always been intimidated by both – What WAS my ‘unique gift? Maybe I don’t have one! And in the back of my mind, rebirthing type stuff just seemed too hokey for me, I don’t know why, most likely others’ opinions  of distain impressed upon & accepted by me – cuz I don’t really have any reasoning why I should dismiss such a powerful ceremony, let alone without even trying it. Well, as I said; it was FANTASTIC!! With over one hundred open and supportive witnesses holding sacred space, I journeyed to find my Unique Gifts and danced into the Womb with the beat of so many drums in my ears and the song in my soul. When I emerged I was embraced and held while I fully accepted the power now wrapped around me, then welcomed by the calls of my White Bone Sisters. I was sweetly overcome by how profound this was for me.

Shamanic Gardening and tending to the weeding & healing of myself & my N.O.R. Garden was such a welcome time spent with Julie Parell. A new “Spirit Buddy”, a remembering of the Green Lady often overlooked, some negative core beliefs weeded along with O.R. ways to work with the land spirits – so timely for me as I embark on bringing my shamanic practise out via tending to a public city garden this year. As always, new tools for clearing past junk out of my thought patterns & energy body are appreciated! Some of those old gnarly roots have dug deep into the soil of my being, and now I have a new way to pull them up and plant anew. Absolutely just what I needed and presented in a gentle way, which was deeply appreciated as I had packed a lot into these 5 days! I hope to cross paths with Julie again and I have two plants here in my own garden to remind & connect me to that time and to those we planted in the flower bed there.

 

Another favourite I attended was with Mark Loman presenting the Song of the Sidhe – oh how I hope to know the sound track he used while we merged with new Sidhe guides to learn of their realm and their use of the elements. Truly an experience like no other. I had worked with them some already, but not in this way before, but I will again. Many times.  And as he said, “These aren’t the pretty little fluttery kind” They are the descendants of the Tuatha De Danann, who appeared to me as tall elegant warriors, reminiscent of the Elven race in the latest Lord of the Rings movies (but a little tougher looking than Orlando Bloom pictured below..grin). During this voluntary embodiment I was shown how to use the elements by facilitating healing work for my children. It seemed a conglomerate of Aryvedic and Homeopathic in a sense. And then I received a gift – the gift of a hazelnut. The gift to be still. That stillness before germination, before sprouting. All the potential stored in waiting for the right moment. The moment when the right type of tension has built to be the catalyst of something new coming into being. The Wisdom before the action. The Wisdom swallowed by the salmon.

 

I also found some powerful insights and new techniques during Jan Engels-Smith’s (www.janengelssmith.com) Egyptian Forgiveness Ceremony – or as I prefer to remember it as, the “Egyptian ‘I go before the grievance’ Ceremony”. Without getting into too much detail, this process resets the energetic field to a time before the Grievance occurred. It’s a fabulous addition to Soul Retrieval work and for me, on this day, I was able to clear some long standing inherited negative core beliefs. This energetic pattern of belief went so far back in my lineage I couldn’t even see the beginning of it – I had to ask my Power Animal to find the beginning for me! This clearing work not only has immediate impact in my life, but also for all my ancestors, plus my descendants ~ very right feeling work to do! It was one of those times I went into things thinking I know what to expect and WHAM! I’m hit with something else, something more important that is the true root of the issue.  Love it when that happens – takes my left brain & Ego right out of it :)


Au Set
Inspired by my Goddess Tarot Deck

Im currently in the midst of a Soul Regernation process facilitated by Elsa & Howard Malpas and some new Retrieval & Depossession Guides. (shamanicwarrior.com) A full series of sessions that culminated in a beautiful witnessed ceremony releasing our Care Taker Souls to go “on holiday” and welcoming in some new Divine Essence. I say I’m in the midst as my Soul Part has yet to return from its healing sojourn. The estimated time was 4 to 6 weeks from the time of the conference. My shaman woman friend and I were teasing each other, wondering if particularly tired souls might take two years vacationing before returning! Near the end of the ceremony, when the Divine Soul Parts began to filter into the group of over 100 people ~ a sweet giddiness swept through. I had a particularly sudden full on case of the giggles. It felt so good, but it was tough to stifle to an appropriate level until the end! A fabulous article about Elsa and Howards process they have been entrusted to animate was in a past article of Sacred Hoop magazine. (a most fabulous shamanic magazine if you haven’t checked it out already) In this archived version of issue #63 on page 25, the Malpas’ speak of the Soul Regeneration process and how it can help in shamanic healing. Here is the link http://www.sacredhoop.org/Issues-pdf/Hoop-63.pdf

We ended each day letting loose, embodying the rhythms of many drummers, toasty by the great grandfather fire, dancing, freeing and integrating the many energies of the day. A wild and magical time when the dancers are not longer dancing to the music, and the drummers aren’t drumming the beat – but the music, the Oran Mor, takes over and is playing Us. You’ll know it if you’ve felt it – a spontaneous possession of the spirit of sound vibration. I endearingly refer to these night gatherings as a Shamanic Rave. The Ancient kind. “So clean” as another shaman woman friend aptly said. I must also let you in on the blessings of Richard Hahn’s Tuvan Style throat singing that graced these nights with added magic. I can’t find a link to this particular gift of his, but I will add one when one is available to me. Perhaps you have already heard him at various Vancouver events!

 

There were many more happenings during this week that affected me deeply. I’m still integrating and processing much, and these are just a sampling of the 40 or so presenters at the conference. If you are inspired to look into next year’s international shamanic gathering, keep an eye on this cyber space for details : http://circleofgreatmystery.com/conferences.html 

Thank you to John-Luke and the Circle of Great Mystery for making this most needed and special uniting of like minded folk happen!

May your feet walk with the light of the Moon and the warmth of the Sun be in your heart,

P.S. ~ THANK YOU to MoonFlower for taking some of the photos in this blog post!! xoxo

BST & Shamanism – Recording Brainwaves during Shamanic & Energy work

Monday, April 4th, 2011

After I lost my journal & subsequent blog entries of on my shamanic processes during my original BrainState Intensive, I have written little, if any, on combining of these two modalities. I write this now while cruising at 32000 ft above sea level on my way home from visiting BST Head Quarters and would like to record some fabulous experiences I had while lucky enough to be “in the chair” for a couple brain state sessions. This was a lovely opportunity to do some personal shamanic work while my brain waves were recorded. To come to Arizona, America, I had to leave my kiddos back home. While I was away some tension built for my children. All my kids have had their Body Protectors retrieved and all but my youngest had their Power Animals as well. I am blessed to have been given the tools with which to help facilitate balance and harmony – with BST as well as Shamanism.

So while I was in the chair, given the task of relaxing and visualising a calm quiet place, I went to my Power Spot and thanked my Power Animal for coming with me to Retrieve a P.A. for my youngest who also appeared there in spirit. As sometimes happens, an animal immediately arrived, an ultra soft white bunny was there with us. I kept strolling while lamenting to see who else may turn up or if I would spot the rabbit again. While an eagle swooped past, and a few other critters meandered about, the bunny never left her side. The next thing I knew, it was in her arms and she was snuggling it and very comforted. I then made a connection with the quartz crystal I had back home that is used for such things which brought it into the journey. We completed the Retrieval process and I carried on with some other protective & supportive measures.

All this was done while in Ordinary Reality I was listening to my brain waves converted into representative musical tones. This gives my brain the chance to accurately see (or hear I suppose) exactly how it is functioning while I am in this relaxed & shamanic state. As any gal knows, if you have a mirror while putting on your makeup, you will be a lot more accurate. Well, this is the mirror for my brain to fine tune it’s functioning quite accurately. There are frequencies associated with intuition, meditation, feeling grounded and present, as well as the subconscious – where it stores fear from past traumatic events. Optimally, one has a harmonious ratio between these two of the eight frequencies currently available to track. What I was able to see after my session was a graph recording these frequencies in microvolts.  For the very “left brained” analytical side of me, this was uber cool.

I finished my session my doing some Transfiguration and working with embodying the energy needed to bring about balance to myself, the room filled with people I was in, and all the way out to my kiddos back home. This too was recorded and graphed – clearly showing the movement of energy clearing out from my subconscious into my consciousness and up into gamma – which is currently believed to be associated with the super conscious. I had gone from feeling quite distraught at the beginning of the session, to feeling filled with bliss. I had energetically & spiritually facilitated support for myself, my family as well as some nervous folks in the room with me who were undergoing skill testing in this advanced field of neuroscience.

If you are curious about BST feel free to follow this link www.brainstatetech.com or drop me a line in the comment box below and I will do my best to answer any questions you have.

Releasing the “Role”

Thursday, March 17th, 2011

I have had profound & positive experiences with letting go of the ‘titles’ & ‘roles’ that seem become attached to me, delegated to me in the past & present as well as those I aspire to become.
Mother, Daughter, Wife, Artist, Technician, Reiki Teacher, Shamanist, Lover, Woman, Dancer, Writer, Healer, even the not so desirable ones, Broke, Stupid, Ex, Single Mom, Unemployed, Needy … you know, Those.
We all have ‘em. And it’s okay. BUT…
The idea is, defining these roles, while often helpful, can also be a limitation.
A “Just so much and no more” message to our co-conspiring Universe.
I have done this a couple times personally within a group setting and also use this as a visualization at work. In the group setting we list all the roles we can think of, connect the essence of each role to the paper it’s written on then actively release the attachment into Grandfather Fire.
There’s no looking back, or lingering reminiscence but a powerful silent intention in the act of it’s burning.
It sounds simple, and it is, but it’s also a strong signal with great affect. Though some may be a little tough to let go of at first, once you feel the liberation it takes on a new energy. I have been left with a joyous feeling of permission to Be.
To simply be Me.
The visualization I use with BST clients has a similar affect, and can be done anywhere and without need of any props such as Fire, paper, pen etc.

Why don’t you take a moment to give this a whirl? If you are here reading this, now is perhaps the best time!

  • Close your eyes and take a few deep, slow, cleansing breaths.
  • Imagine yourself with many layers, like an onion has layers, or perhaps you are waaay over dressed for winter.
  • With each layer, identify it with a Role you play. Are you a parent? You most certainly are someone’s child. Perhaps you are an employee, spouse, or sibling. Do you identify with Survivor, Victim, or Sufferer of something? Really feel the essence of that role or title in your body.
  • Now peel off that layer.
    You can toss it on the floor or maybe you have a stream running past to carry away these confines.
    Take a moment to feel this lightening of your load. Feel the liberation in your body.
  • Keep peeling layer after layer until you uncover your Essence, your True Self.
  • Now simply Be.
    Rest in knowing you have no responsibilities in this moment. No one calling you, or needing your attention. You are Free to just BE.
    Remember you are a Human BE-ING not a Human DO-ING :)

Meditating, Visualizing and Embodying this type of imagery with somatical sensory often will help to grow new neural pathways in the brain allowing this sense of calm freedom to become a more normal state, sends powerful messages to your subconscious helps to regulate your Vagus nerve. (go ahead and google that!)

I recently received new business cards at my job as a Brain State Technician, and low and behold I have a long string of roles defined after my name! Completely contradicting all my work of releasing and not overly identifying myself with preconceived regimented labels. This does however serve it’s purpose in my day to day work life, but it came with a jolt to see them there, and it did feel good to send them into the Fire to Bridgid this Imbolc, offering to be an unlimited being for spirit to forge . Bridgid has Alchemist and Creative qualities about her, by releasing these mundane world Titles to her I opened to allow Spirit to work through me in ways I can’t define or yet imagine.
Try it! You might like it!

A day of Imbas with the White Bone Shamanic Sisterhood

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Last weekend I gathered with the White Bone Women for a powerful event I was honoured to be witness to as well as present at.  Each woman had dedicated herself to a yearlong project on top of our lives, trials, tribulations, joys, and crazy schedules. We all had the common theme of reflecting our inner processes spanning 13 moons, but the main goal; to regularly embark on the pursuit of creative expression, to step into the flow of Imbas, feel the connection with the Divine moving through you while bringing the internal world out into the external. Passion is what keeps you alive, thriving, living a purpose. Bringing passion & creative expression together is a key element of soul food for me. For another it may be swimming, yoga, soccer, collecting tea cups, only you know what you are truly passionate about.
Or maybe you don’t.
In that case, FIND OUT!
My teacher, Angela Prider, has relayed a number of stories to me of people overcoming incredible illnesses by being more passionate about their lives than the illness had to take over those lives. And it rings a true cord deep within me.
My tribe of women laid bare their deep soul struggles through their personal healing, their wise thoughts & reflections, their incredible gifts, tangible and otherwise, to be witnessed and shared in a deep and meaningful way, fully supported and as closely understood as any other could. It was an honour of a gift, to have your soul heard & responded to. Not just by Self or Spirit, but by flesh and blood.

This, I hold great respect for and hold endless gratitude. Plus the whole process was a super excuse to stay up all night and create to my heart’s content!

Imbolc Sunrise Divination

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Today I Frithed. This morning of Imbolc, I opened my door and spent a few moments embarking on an ancient Celtic Divination practice.

What I gleaned was this.

A beautiful morning sunrise, glorious pink clouds and bright sky softening the stark contrast of a Wintering Alder tipped with tiny green buds of Spring’s promise. A crisp cold clear day, rather than the usual rainy west coast fare. I could see far, though the urban elements were obscured from view.

The personal message for me is just that. For me.
But you may find something for you.

May Many Imbolc Blessings Be Upon You!

Giving Back to Spirit ~ the reciprocation of relationship

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

During most journeys, I take a few extra moments to really connect with my Power Animal.  I try not to just drop in, state my intention and away we go, get the job done, & then leave. This is a two way relationship just like any other. No friend would continuously give guidance, lend support and take you on adventures without a little reciprocation, for very long. Spending this special time at the beginning of a journey also helps to become more present in that reality as opposed to our ordinary one. Depending on your practice, you may have one Spirit Guide or many, you may rarely journey or do it daily, you may foster connection with Spirit in a myriad of ways that have nothing to do with Shamanisim nor Reiki, either way, it’s important to give back.

As I come to the end of another year of the White Bone Shamanic Apprenticeship with Angela Prider, I’ve been drawn to look back at the plethora of specialized helping spirits I have established a connection with.  Some, like my Power Animal, I see quite regularly, but a good number I visit only in specific situations that may, or may not, come up very often, depending on what’s going on. I would like to check in and honour each of them. It will be refreshing and appropriate to take on processes of this nature after studying and doing such focused work over this past year.

There are many ways to honour and thank our helping spirits, within Shamanic journey as well as in our ordinary reality. These are a few that come to mind that I will engage in over the next few weeks:

Within Shamanic Journey

  ◊ Of course Thanking them verbally for their dedication, support and guidance

  ◊ Offering their favourite foods or bringing them water, wine, or other beverage of choice

  ◊ Grooming, Scrubbing, Belly Rubs, or Brushing for Animal Spirit Guides

  ◊ Swimming, Running, Dancing, Merging with them, getting a ‘taste’ of their experience and simply hanging out and having fun

  ◊ Giving other offerings, something suited to their species or race, sometimes spontaneous gifts arrive in my pocket for them. Examples would be something shiny for Crow or chocolate for the Sidhe.

Within Ordinary Reality

  ◊ Artistic expression – allowing spirit to guide a creative process in their honour, such as Story Telling, Painting, Verse or Song

  ◊ Embodiment – giving a tangible vessel for them to experience movement & the sensory of our physical plane

  ◊ Imagery – collecting images in their likeness to place about where I can see & think of them

  ◊ Dedicated Altar creation

  ◊ Offerings laid in Nature or upon aforementioned Altar

  ◊ Research – this works well for Ancestors, different Cultures, Deities and Animals

There are countless ways really. Getting creative about it and tailoring to each is quite fun. Ifreann, just making a list of all my supports will be interesting!

Seeds planted in the Darkest of Dark ~ Winter Solstice ~

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

This most auspicious night, Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year ~ always a good time to set intentions, plant the seeds of manifestation to germinate in the dark, holding focus as they sprout with the returning light and come to full bloom. Sometimes done with a passing wish and a candle, sometimes written and burned in sacred fire, sometimes listed & sifted; what is to let go of, what is to die with the old passing in the darkness and what is to bring into being, birthing in the light.

This solstice, of all the solstices, holds extra energy to lend support. Great change is afoot. Some even say THIS is the solstice the Mayans were speaking of (and we simply have poor translation & time keeping skills) I know not of this with any certainty, but I do know this ~ there is a full Moon tonight, a ‘Super Moon’ in fact. It’s at it’s fullest while orbiting it’s closest to the Earth. Yes, we all know the power of the Moon, pulling the Ocean’s tides, making crowds perhaps a little squirrely with energy, and before electric lighting; keeping all the women’s cycles in sync with the rhythms of nature, the time of month many wishes are made and time kept by ~ so amplify this. It’s the longest night of the year, the first of Winter, with a full moon as close as can be. But that is not all… mere hours before the ‘official’ point of solstice a total Lunar Eclipse. A concentrating, amplifying, awe inspiring event in itself. Place yourself back before technology, before weather forecasts, city lights, cell phones ~ to the dark cold night ~ with our familiar beacon of light, in full glory casting us from this darkest of times - the only light save from the stars – is blotted out by the Earth’s shadow and takes on a magnificent RED hue. Wow!
Okay, now imagine the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun is total alignment on the longest night of the year. And it’s also in line with the place within the Milky Way the Mayan’s believed marked the source of all Creation. Phewf!! That is the recipe for one powerful night.

Today many members of my family, friends & community, alongside over a 1,100 others, partook in a beautiful healing ceremony for the Earth by infusing crystals with love, healing, and joy ~ many tossed theirs into waterways to flow & connect around the globe, others buried them deep into the soil to spread like roots of a tree. A special Thank You to the Shamanic Community group for spreading word of this event around the world. (Here’s a link http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/group.php?gid=19321087846)

Since yesterday I had skin tingling tangible excited Solstice energy ~ filled with inner joy and zest for life. I ran with it, setting intentions specific as well as by embodying these feelings I wish to carry within me, both in Ordinary Reality as well as within a journey. I created a Gem Elixir during the actual eclipse and tonight journeyed for additional guidance, journeyed for a Shaman Woman friend of mine ~ gathering wisdom to pass on to her, journeyed for a prayer to bestow on another shamanic friend, drummed & sang much to reverberate through the air. And now my living room lights don’t work! How fun it is!

I close now with wishes, those who read this blog also have support in manifesting the seeds they plant ~ all for the highest good.

Namaste,
earth selkie

Light of the Earth

Monday, September 6th, 2010

There is a wee path, a shortcut I take on my way to town. A brief interlude of semi secret vegetation.
I revel in the grounded earthy feeling of my footsteps on soil, stepping carefully over exposed roots and using jutting rocks as support against the steep slope.
This path opens out to a view high over a well treed neighbourhood and clear on toward layers of an inlet, more land, then the ocean, and still further on to a far away mountainous island faint against the sky where the sun often sets with the most glorious splendor. The sky ~ big, blue & bright, hung close with thick fog, or fast blowing low hanging clouds covering the towering mountain tops that bank this place. It’s always so beautiful. It always feels so good, right here, on this precipice partway down the mountain.

I stand here. At this opening. Compelled to stop & feel. To notice. To connect.

Behind me looms the trees of the hill, close against my back. Before me, this beautiful view. A magical place before I move into the bustle of cars & people.
Here, my eyes take in the gifts. Here my body brings in delight and fills up with it. Here my Soul connects to the Sidhe, the Fae, the Spirit of Earth Light. It’s a tangible & almost visible perception. Like little tingly sparkles rising up and around, rejoicing, laughing, dancing. There always seems to be bird song in the air ~ if you listen. There is much unseen here ~ if you pause to notice.

I leave offerings tucked under the Salal. Offerings to those who hold this space sacred while the odd pedestrian passes through. Blessed to be a part of this dance. Blessed to share the bounty of the elements, the directions, the Spirit of this place.

Healing for Our Beloved Ocean

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

This morning I enjoyed a fifteen minute boat ride supported by our beloved Ocean. On my mind was a recent connection of shared sentiments with a local Shaman regarding the healing of our Oceans ~ particularly in lieu of BP’s tragedy/gift of awareness. It’s easier for us all to do what we are able from a  place of positivity, a place of gratitude and of love, and today I dedicated my 15 minutes to this.
I carry on my person the ability to listen to Sandra Ingerman’s Drumming so I may quickly tune out the din of public places and engage in shamanic journey ~ and this was my experience:

I met with my Power Animal and together we traveled to the Lower World and along the trail to a hut in a forest where a particular Healing Spirit dwells. This Spirit takes the form of a glowing white being of light, floating, merging & permeating with ‘ghost like’ quality. The three of us came to where I sat, here in the Middle World, traveling over the waters. The Healing Spirit dipped into the Ocean and became one with it, filling it with a beautiful radiant light. I began to channel Reiki through my body and into this vast, supporting, living entity of salted water, sending prayers of love & gratitude not just with thoughts but flowing with my entire being.
The light of the Ocean began to pulse with the beat of a human heart, a dolphin leaped into the air with bliss, two seals spun together like a double helix of light, all of the life contained within these waters was filled with zesty life happiness.  The Guardian of the West rose up out of the depths with arms raised in blessing. Love grew even stronger within me and I saw myself as I was last week, immersed in these waters, reveling in their healing power.  A connecting sense of the salt within my body and of material life within the ocean, along with the steady heartbeat of healing light in time with my own ~ and I was transformed into shapeless spirit merged with the current. A strong purposeful current pulled by the powerful Mother Moon. Connected and one with the ocean, with the light, love and teeming full with life. I felt this stretch further than could be seen, embracing all of the seas, not just the area I was in. As I gathered back my form, the Ocean itself blessed me with an audiatory “Thank You” ~ sentiments which I of course reciprocated! Back into my body submerged in the water, then returning to my present body in ‘ordinary reality’ where the Healing Spirit, and my Power Animal met to retrace our steps back to the hut and then to the portal out of the Lower World. Much joy and gratitude was shared at each parting.

The shudder of the boat signaled we were near the dock as I rubbed my hands together, wriggled my toes and opened my eyes. I think anyone noticing would have thought me blissfully dosing to music that ride :)

This was such a beautiful journey I thought to share it with you all. I hope it brings a reminder of how easy it is to take a few minutes to send love, healing & gratitude in your own way to the bounty around us.

~Namaste~

Power Animal Retrieval~ Eagle

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

The intent for this Shamanic Journey was to retrieve a Power Animal for a young lady I had recently met at work. It was late and I was tired so I asked my Power Animal to help the message come quickly and clearly – and it certainly did! Before we even entered the portal to the Lower World a flash of the animal came to mind, dismissing it I descended and again it flashed before my mind’s eye. Other animals were around, but they all seemed to be crawling, slithering, bounding etc away from us. I had been told if you see an animal three times on this type of journey it is the one. Well again it came before me, this time large and clear. It was a Bald Eagle, just to help be sure it wasn’t my own ego insisting on this animal, I asked it if it was indeed her Power Animal. Instead of answering as they sometimes do, it simply cocked it’s head to one side like a bird would and opened it’s wings – larger than a human, this bird was – it enveloped me and up it flew with a “little me” in it’s talons. Off to her house we flew and it perched outside her bedroom window to peck at the glass. There the woman lay sleeping in her bed. The window opened and this bird (now more realistically sized) hopped onto her chest. It was then that I held out the quartz crystal and asked if it would come into it and back with me to Ordinary Reality to help this lady. Zzzzip! Off it flew into the crystal to await transfer. Just like that! So quick. So easy.

I ended up not being able to meet again in person with the woman I had retrieved for, and wouldn’t be able to for another week or more. I ended up going on another journey where I camayed the Spirit of Eagle in the appropriate manner, and performed the rest of the ritual via long distance.
