Read an interview with Gary Renard, best-selling author of "The Disappearance of the Universe" and "Your Immortal Reality" as he discusses his upcoming book, forgiveness and healing our unconscious guilt.
We are looking at love through a veil of fear. Fear creates dark-colored glasses that make love seem too painful to fully accept. If we truly understood that fear was a dark shadow distorting our knowledge of love, we wouldn’t fear the darkness and would walk through it to greet love waiting on other side.
One lazy day, when I was 14-years-old, I was laying on the living room floor letting my thoughts wander. For no particular reason, I began to wonder if there was a limit to how small a particle could be. I envisioned a blood cell, then the nucleus within it, then the particles that made up [...]
We got what we wanted. Long ago, in a blink of an eye, we created this universe. Our powerful selves, created by the thought of God, possessed the power to create. And so we did. Being God’s children, it took only an instant to create all thoughts of time and space, and for all the [...]
The anger that is smoldering inside the tribes is robbing them of the beauty of their spiritual path—a path that could be restored through forgiveness.
When people wonder if the personality survives death, the answer is that personality doesn't even survive while we are alive. We are not the same person we were five, ten, or fifteen years ago...
Every decision based on fear is the wrong decision. Not because of the outcome, but because of its motive. When we are young, life’s problems seem black and white. But as we grow older, life seems to become more complicated and the answers shrouded in shades of gray. But, as a shaman and spiritual practitioner moving into [...]
You search from branch to branch for truth. You soar to the skies looking for the face of God. You burrow beneath the trees’ roots to feel the pulse of the Earth. Yet, you do not need to search outside yourself. Sit still and feel the truth in your heart. Know love has never left [...]
There is a monster that lurks under my bed. He doesn’t live there during the day. When it’s light, I can easily search for shoes and chapstick that have rolled under the bed. But when the day has faded and the lights are turned off, he comes alive. It is then that I am afraid [...]
I had a vivid dream the other night that I knew had a deeper meaning, although its symbolism was hidden from me at first. In the dream, there was a man who stood pointing across a wheat field, telling me there was an event that I needed to attend. I walked in the direction he had pointed through [...]
The Book that will Help You Believe in Miracles! I wrote Shaman Stone Soup after learning that some people were afraid of shamanism. This was surprising, since I had discovered through my experiences with shamanism that it offered a divine connection with enlightened beings, nature, and the loving Spirit. I have experienced many miracles in my [...]
There are many reasons why a healing may not take effect: Conflicting Wishes If a person has two wishes that conflict, then obviously they will experience disappointment of one of them. For instance, if a person wants to be healed of a physical or mental disability, but doesn’t want to go back to work, they [...]
Book Excerpt from Shaman Stone Soup by Shaman Elizabeth Shamanism is the oldest known spiritual practice in the world and is still practiced by indigenous people on every continent today. While there are many different rituals, one commonality is that the shaman acts as a catalyst between this world and the spirit world. Sandra Ingerman [...]
Soul retrieval is a common healing technique in shamanism, in which part of person’s soul is believed to be lost during a trauma or series of events. The soul part is found in the spirit realm and reunited with the person’s main soul. During a shamanic healing, the trauma that led to the soul loss [...]
