Very interesting...thanks to you both! Lorrie, can you elaborate on shamans keeping themselves intact in the human pool, or at least intending to do so? Why would we? Further, you said there's no particular design for what threads wind up becoming a part of you but its not random either, is it? I think about themes that have been recurring throughout my past lives that continue to resonate, like being the village healer...it seems seamless.

I dont know actually- im in the habit of just visiting the site directly and checking. It gives incentive if accesding by phone, under the three bars on the top right of your screen you can click 'activity' than 'unread activity'.

Do you mean notifications for new posts on the site? Here is the article on recapping : https://www.shamanscave.com/self-healing/the-recapitulation

welcome! you are not alone in what you're going through, just remember that foremost. and don't lose hope. having a shamanic bend is like having a pet poltergeist : ) until you learn how to work with it. can i recommend lifting your energy in small swooshes like little sudden fountains if that resonates (while recognizing your boundaries with it and balancing it out with grounding). we also do the recapitulation (self-healing movement at the core of what we do) which there are multiple articles for on the main site. keep moving forward.

hello unknown patterns! you always have a choice to put out a strong "NO" out there and around you- take what you want and reject what you don't. really ground yourself in why you don't want the telepathy, feel for it don't assume it, and intend from there- that place of truth. make it a goal to do it consistently. but also look at what parts of you *are* in agreement with the telepathic experiences, and heal them if that seems fit to you. s

that's great that you're getting access to that beautiful creative superpower, thomas! recap is subjective for everyone and not linear- at least not for me, it's like a zig zag. it has been like a giant quest, so much purging, unearthing my power from underneath it all. coming of age in many ways lol. like karl said noticing that old things don't 'fit' any longer. just notice that your mind and the people around you who want you to stay the same will try to make that happen.

"I think memory of my life gives me a bit of an anchor to the past in a sense which is important for me. " yes, that statement makes sense! that's why detaching or letting go is hard. we've been relying on our memories this whole time. so it can feel counterintuitive. who will i be if i let go of the anchor? how will i float...what will happen? they're big, daunting questions that are also curious...i think they can open up a lot of space for fresh air, new goals, epiphanies. "Doug, thank you for sharing. I've actually kind of wanted to meet someone born at the same time as me and see if they have the same craziness going on in their life. lol. Hopefully i can heal in a similar manner to you. Fingers crossed. " not to say Douglas' healing journey isn't admirable, it is, and you certainly have parallels- but your journey is equally admirable. the beauty of humans is we all have a unique story to contribute and impact the world with. you've been committed to healing for a long time and i'm so excited to see what comes up for you as you test the waters however you decide to here. "Stacey... i'll read your email in a little bit. HEyo! hi!" HAYYYYYY😜

i agree arcanehuman, do it if you're able to! this thread is awesome, it seems like your time to shine

welcome konsciencia, i like your name

Whether you're a 'shaman' or not is truly up to your community you would be serving, but that truly becomes beside the point when you begin unfolding all your power with grace and glory. To expand on something a friend of mine here had said to me, shamanism is a state of being- and it exists for us all in potential. There are many reasons ofc why it doesnt become something more for every person, mainly because we all have our own paths and there are so many to choose from though yes, also the provisions of culture count a lot, shamanism typically isnt inherent to every culture and furthermore, it's misunderstood by many these days (though it's tricky to wrap the mind around, i don't blame people for their interpretations. Today ) but most of all, its a choice. You have to work really hard at it- it doesnt just come to someone and serve them. And accept it will compromise your expectations. Feeling satisfied with myself as a 'shaman' has become less of an important destination for me, and more about- well why do I care, anyway? What led me here?

Thanks Cammie! I appreciate that perspective. Reading that got me to realize I wasn't using intent because of this pattern I have carried around life long: I felt like my intent was reminding me that I'm a 'bad person' or whatever, and that I need those constant reminders, because it gets me to stay overly conscious of everything I do so that I don't hurt everyone/piss them off. I'd rather avoid recapping this, but let's see what fun happens Same Douglas, it's kind of truly amazing, some of the things I've been able to accomplish with my intent, but I'm still getting used to the 'lifestyle' so I sometimes forget entirely I could apply it

than she hung around and looked at me, and moved around as though she were trying to get back to the other side, i wondered if she had babies in the brush she had jumped out of before me. i kept driving slowly to admire the foxy foxiness...i'm not happy with this almost running over animals

this literally also happened to me about three days ago

Tbh i still have no idea why I see whatever in my environment when I do. Throughout this past month I kept almost running over animals, or running over already dead animals, and I mightve been the one who hit the skunk that sprayed me and my car. It felt like a nightmare. But if we can just open ourselves to hearing the language of our energy more instead of listening to our minds about what it all 'means'....I think thats where it counts.

i thought of you yesterday evening...when I also saw four bats!! Yes, they are a rare sighting for me too though!
