On February 24-25, 2018, John Kralovec and I will be facilitating a workshop at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Massachusetts designed for transformation:

A Shaman’s Pathway to the Divine

Shamanism in today’s world

Many people are fascinated by shamanism. But I believe what they really seek is a direct connection with a higher power [the Divine] and a way to experience that connection in every day life. This is what we teach.

The Ancients were masters of harmony, balance and caring for Mother Earth. Now is the time the ancient teachings are being revealed because they are needed more than ever.

In today’s hurry-up world, people often start the day in a rush so as to get everything done. But I’d like you to consider why we should stop before starting anything.

Clearing, balancing, reviewing will actually give you a better start to the day, or any activity, than rushing into it.

Here are some examples of stopping before starting:

• Chanting “Om” before yoga
• Athletes who do “mental rehearsal” visualizations before performing
• Pausing before speaking so you can take a breath and exhale, re-energizing your body and mind
• Before answering a question, stop and consider how you want to answer rather than give an answer you’ll regret
• Take time to access your inner guidance
• Start and end every endeavor with a smile, a teaching from the Maya
