As part of the shamanic process...I'...Hey Mike, <br />As part of the shamanic process...I'm wondering if you have participated in a drum journey...either solo or in a group? You might check out Tom Cowan's book(s). His introductory book on shamanism is great and describes very well drum journeys to the lower and upper worlds. Like you, I have never felt that meditation worked so well. I'm a bit restless and have found that the active use of imagination in the drum journey is a powerful powerful tool for me to enter a similar altered state. Also, Tom Cowan is of Celtic ancestry, so some of his books have that focus. <br /><br />So, I'll just throw this out there, but it keeps coming to me, the next time you see an owl, feel out the situation a bit, ask permition from the owl and if he/she has any wisdom for you, and if you feel yes, then gaze into it's eye's. See what happens...how you feel...share and merge with this spirit. Give thanks. <br />I, again, thank you so much for your honest and open sharing here.<br />Blessing!<br />VicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-18814943637788939512012-08-31T15:40:44.943-07:002012-08-31T15:40:44.943-07:00Darren, my mate Rick is going to that talk!

(See also Feral Animals). I seem to have an inherent understanding of all animals - no matter which continent they live on "<br /> <br />I liked his book and this guy is very sincere.I don't know what his animal readings are like though.<br />Maybe one day I will get one off him,if I feel the compulsion.<br />Brizdaz (Darren)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16218154629850982033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455216065351371692.post-22120696562833129102012-08-30T01:07:06.740-07:002012-08-30T01:07:06.740-07:00Re:

I thought you said my owl experiences were "a shamanic initiation" (and I just loved that, it just seemed resonate so well at a gut level) - but you didn't say that!<br /><br />You said to me: "You are following the Shamanic process."<br /> <br />You weren't commenting on me seeing owls. You were commenting on ME BLOGGING ABOUT SEEING OWLS.<br /><br /><br />David<br />--------<br />LOL, I believe what you're remembering is what I said to you after we stopped recording. During taping, I didn't outright say you were going through a shamanic initiation because that's a very personal thing, didn't know if you would want it shared.<br /><br />But essentially it's often the same thing. Following the shamanic process does by nature lead to initiatory experiences.<br /> <br /><br />Mike <br />--------<br />Hmmm - I may have heard it after we stopped. But the timing of my memory matches the audio interview. I told a long-winded owl story and you replied with the comment. The thing is - the answer that all my that the owl sightings as A SHAMANIC INITIATION just felt exactly right!<br /> <br /><br />David <br />--------<br />The important thing is the message you heard and how much it resonated with you.<br /> <br /><br />Mike <br />-------- <br />Well - The "incorrect" message (A SHAMANIC INITIATION) resonated absolutely perfectly at a soul level! I trust that means something...<br />Mike Clelland!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11369575898695154728noreply@blogger.com
