Soul Tracking
Soul Tracking™ is now a large part of what I teach in the South and North Direction of the Medicine Wheel; it has become one of the primary tools for accessing the deep wisdom held within us. So, what is Soul Tracking™ specifically? It is the interpretation of your external world through your internal wisdom, which creates pathways of guidance from the spiritual realms.
It is multi-faceted, deep, constant, and evolves with you. It brings you fully present and mindful. It is full of texture, and answers to your deepest held questions. It clarifies and brings an understanding that you may not have otherwise garnered. It is, by far, the most potent tool for plucking wisdom from your life. And the best thing? It’s accessible to everyone. You don’t need to be a well defined psychic or medium, and you don’t have to buy any witchy tools for divination (unless you want to), you don’t need anything other than a desire to live a more connected, and intentional life.

Shamanic Journeying
Do you have areas in your life you would like more clarity or guidance? Perhaps healing, or relationships, or feeling connected? For thousands of years, Shamans have journeyed to the Worlds of Non-Ordinary Reality to receive such healing and guidance. Using a trance state, a well-crafted intention, and with the assistance of our spirit guides, and power animals we can travel to these worlds which exist outside our ordinary world and receive our own guidance.
In ten days, you’ll learn all the components needed to safely and effectively take a Shamanic journey and begin implementing this powerful tool into your spiritual practice. Shamanism isn’t a religion, it’s a path and tool for direct revelation and therefore, can be used by anyone of any spiritual tradition or faith. Learning to journey properly and safely, will provide you a powerful tool for deep spiritual growth. Read More

And now, here you are – clicking on this soul course because my guess is, you are also wanting more in your life.

Shaman’s Journal
Interesting articles about shamanism, witchy things, Celtic spirituality, and more. These are inspired by the teachings of the Medicine Wheel.
Prayer is the feeling, emotion, and intention into our words that go into the ethers to Great Spirit/Mystery, God, Source, etc. In today’s Shaman Short, I visited the Peace Park in Sedona where thousands of people have come to pray and to add to the collective energy of compassion that radiates into the heavens. I share with you the power of prayer, and why it is so important into many traditions. I also talk about the power of our words and being mindful of what vibrations we add to the energy field. I also ended up talking about sweat lodges …
I have a question: all the meditations and teachings: do you create them based on people’s needs? Or are they old meditations you learned yourself. I’m basically interested in how all that content is created. Thank you for bringing the additional resources of wisdom to my life.
I began this journey one year ago. I have driven 30,826 miles and crossed the United States 4 times. There are only 2 states that I have not seen (North Dakota and Alaska). What have I learned? Such an esoteric question that cannot be summed up, even in a lengthy article but can only be “lived out” in the rest of my days. But I can share with you 11 things I have learned along the way.
