Steven. Thank you for your article on finding your muse.
Several months ago, I journeyed to the chamber of gifts and treasures and was given a quill. I engaged the quill in conversation to learn more about its purpose.
Sheldon: Quill, I am honored to receive you as a gift and tool for my path. What gift do you bring for me?
Quill: The gift of writing.
Sheldon: I am curious. Of all the current ways to write, why do you come to me in the form of a quill?
Quill: In ancient times from where I come, people made their inks and tinctures from berries, herbs and things of nature and the natural world. You are the tincture from which to write. Dip me deep into your energies as a shaman and tell the stories of healing that have come through the path of the feather given you at the beginning of this journey.
Sheldon: I accept your invitation. It was only after you came to me in my journey to the Chamber of Treasures that I saw what was, perhaps, the real meaning of the painting of the man gifting me a feather sticking out of a bowl. Perhaps even then it was a quill held in a container of ink that I did not recognize at the time. I now notice that the bowl is so large. There must be a lot to write.
Quill: Write the stories.
At the moment of this interaction, I had no idea how this would all unfold. I simply agreed to connect to the energy of the quill and follow its path to see where the quill took me and what we would create. Since the quill had told me to write the stories of healing and transformation that had come through my work as a shamanic practitioner, I contacted clients and people who had taken my classes on shamanism and energy healing and who had participated in shamanic healing and told them of my journey to the Chamber of Gifts. I asked them if they would be willing to share some of their experiences with shamanic healing for a book that I would write on the healing and transforming power of shamanism and energy healing. This book tells their stories.
Steven, this book would not have come into manifestation without my journey into the Chamber of Treasures where I received the gift of the quill pen and its invitation to share the stories from my work as a shamanic practitioner and from those clients and participants in my classes on shamanism and energy healing who so graciously agreed to share their stories of healing. An example of what can happen from a shamanic journey. Thanks again for your article.
