Thanks Martin & Loren for finding the way I work with Shamanism interesting. I’m happy to know that I was able to remind at least two people there is more than one way to work with the Spirits. Blessings to you both!

I work with shamanism a little differently than many others since I do not practice journeying. Instead of going to where the spirits are, I call the spirits to me. I was taught this and in turn teach my students to simply create sacred space with the Guardians of the Seven Sacred Directions. If you do this every morning these Divine Beings will become powerful allies who can work with you in many ways. In the shamanic apprenticeship I teach, this is the first initiation folks experience. Then everything is built upon this co-creative relationship.

I’ve primarily worked with the Seven Sacred Directions for the past 27 years and because of our intimate relationship I’m in constant contact with them pretty much 24/7. Yes, they come into my night dreams too! We regularly have conversations about all sorts of things. The main thing though is always treat whatever ally you are connecting with…with honor and respect. In time that ally will tell you how to connect with it.

The first thing I do when I wake up is say Thank You for this day and my life. Then I create sacred space with the Guardians of the 7sacred directions and thank them for the spiritual awakening and enlightenment of all sentient beings on Earth at this time. I follow with: Thank You for divine synchronicities in my life on all levels and dimensions. Thank You for the fruition in all that I seek on all levels and dimensions. I thank all my spirit companions for their love, devotion, companionship, friendship and all they do for me on a conscious and unconscious basis everyday. And I thank the Guardians for all their guidance they give me on all levels and all dimensions.
