[059] Coffee with Dakota: The Importance of Nature

I would love to learn more about spirit guides; shamanism in general; ways to deepen my connection with nature/spirit, and the differences and similarities between meditation and shamanic journeying. Jennifer

On my hike through Point Tamales, I kept seeing lines drawn in the sand. I wasn't sure the source but knew it was a message for me. As someone who teaches people how to read the signs and listen to your Spirit Guides, this is Soul Tracking - a powerful way of interpreting messages.  In today's Shaman Short, I share with you my discovery and how we can interpret these messages through our own filter.

There have been four times in my life when I could feel the energy of the land so strongly that I knew beyond any doubt that I had arrived "home" - where I currently live, crossing into Arizona, Ireland, and Scotland. I could feel the spirits of the land, the ancient feeling of having been there before, and the clean, clear sense that each stone, tree, and field of grass was speaking to me.

Today I show you how to use Soul Tracking to decipher the messages we receive from our Spirit Guides and Higher Self. Soul Tracking is a way of seeing, interpreting, and integrating the messages received, and happens in our everyday life.

I was so happy to hear how you listen for messages from your guides while not actually journeying as we know it, but by paying attention and being aware of your surroundings. I must say that my guides speak louder to me when I am not actually journeying, but when I am just staying aware during awake time. It seems I either read or heard a recording of Sandra Ingerman once saying that the veil is getting so thin that some of us can commune with our guides without the need for ceremony. Have you heard anything like that, or do you know others like that?

[Video]The Owl eating the Snake was one of the most profound experiences I have had in nature (and I have had a lot!). I used the footage in a recent online class that I taught, and this is part two of that online class. The footage of the owl is towards the end but I'd like to think the entire video is worth watching!
