This article has me exploring the riddle "In A Good Way"
Elders often use this phrase when sharing their wisdom. What is this "Good Way?" How can this idea be applied in life? Join me in this exploration, and perhaps you will find your own solution to this age-old riddle.

As I dive deeper into my own spirituality, I find myself entering circles and listening to the elders speak. A phrase I hear often is the act of doing something “in a good way.” To perform acts of ceremony, medicine, and share teachings means to do so in “a good way.” I’m hearing this idea...

Bear and Butterfly

Looking at this image I am reminded of what these stand for individually. Bear being a teacher of Courage and Butterfly teaches the stages of life and Transformation.

When these images overlap their message becomes focused on something specific. At least that’s how I see it.

Looking deeper at Bear. The message of courage evolves, has me questioning what I need courage for in this stage of my life. The answer coming back as “taking risks. Making different and difficult choices.”
Those things will affect me and those around me in ways I can predict and in ways I can not. The changes I choose. How I grow and express myself.

While butterfly, embodies change in itself. How it nourishes itself in each stage. Who and what it becomes. How it chooses its safety, the fight to free itself from its previous state so it can fly free.

A person who chooses to be brave in all stages of life, can live freely. How they choose can affect the way live. Taking risks. Making mistakes. All of these things shape the way we develop. Shape the person we become when it’s time to shed the cocoon. Flying free. Some need longer time on our individual cocoon. Eventually we all break free or die trying.

A Simple Guide

I began my journey when I was 11 years old, but when I was 8 year I realized there was more to the world then what we normally acknowledge as a people. Having this deeper connection to the earth and I found it impossible not to step forward to cultivate a relationship with the worlds around me. I do mean worlds, there is what we can see and that we don’t see and how we interact with them depends on how we choose to live. Often our choices have impact on these places, often we don’t take notice. Only when we choose to open our eyes can we understand what I mean. When I say worlds, there are those that assume I’m speaking about the Astral plain and Netherworld. It’s interesting ... but it not what I’m talking about at all. I do work with in those realms but... that is only a facet of what being a Shaman is.

When I began my journey into Dream Work, even those I was so young. I was taught to able to understand myself better. Everything there was a part of me and helped me hear my own story. Being taught about myself, from aspects of me who often took the form of people I love and respect. Some characters took a form all their own. Together I was taught to accept my demons and see their true natures.

Of course when I say demons, I mean the shadow that lives inside us and thus my journey into Shadow Work began. Shadow and Its forms being, fear, anger, regret and pain, whatever the Shadow is for you. It is born of our choices, events that we lived and often hold us back. A great part of the work is overcoming these things that limit us, to see and accept who we are. Dreams help us see these thing about ourselves, they help us better understand the how we feel and think. In dreams you can explore a realm a possibility and discover an inner truth that exists inside you.

In answering these questions and discovering these truths inside myself helped me to better understand my connection to Spirit. To gain a deeper understanding of energy and how it moves through and around the body. How that energy relates to the rest of the world? Through working with the chakra did I begin to understand how I as a human can relate to the worlds around me, and further my understanding of life and my journey
