    I met Covid in a Shamanic journey! I love Shamanic Journeys! We just melded together! I think we’re in a birthing time!

    Since March 2020 the members of my 3 Rivers Shamanic Group in the UK have, at the request of our spirits, each had a specific Covid.19 altar that represents us in the group and our work towards the healing of the world and its people. I felt honoured to take part in the SWB Mongolian Ceremony and look forward to results. In your last group meeting we asked he Covid19 Spirit for a teaching that would help us. Here is its lesson for humanity:

    “Make Changes and I will be happy. Unless you (humanity) learn I will not go away. I will hide. My survival and yours are linked. You are slow to c change but Must move on. I am beautiful and clever and can quickly change to the situation I find within. And then move on. I am a reflection – a mirror to the truth. The more of you humans the greater the destruction. The more of me in you the quicker the death. I am showing to your bodies what you are coding to the world.”

    Difficult times ahead and action required by us!

    I tried José’s good advice to listen and not judge. I saw visually and translated approximately to:

    “A strong ally to be able to slow and stop humans and make them reflect. (An ally strong enough to wind the gears back and sloowwwwww huge momentum)…

    No amount of nuclear weapons can stop things inside nuclei, in your own bodies. That is the wrong kind of defense.

    Stopping humans and inviting them to pass through a metaphor of the body of a dinosaur and re emerge softer.

    The key to pay attention to:
    What is starving. What is looked down upon. What is ignored.”

    Thank you for the moment of peace brought by the reflections.
