Today in the west, we know 14,000 different diseases and probably the same number of cures. It has become a disease-care society, not a health care society.

In the West we have a disease-care system, and medicine recognizes thousands of ailments and a myriad of remedies.

The shamans of old, on the other hand, discovered One Spirit Medicine – a health-care system that identifies only one ailment and one cure.

The ailment is alienation from our feelings, our bodies, the earth, and Spirit.

The cure is the experience of primeval Oneness with all, which restores inner harmony and facilitates recovery from all maladies, regardless of origin.

At the heart of One Spirit Medicine is an age-old practice called the vision quest, a carefully choreographed encounter with nature and the invisible world.

Through fasting and meditation, a vision quest awakens the body’s self-repair and regeneration systems and reconnects us to Spirit and our own deepest purpose.

It is customary to seek vision in the wilderness.

But the experience of One Spirit can take place anywhere – even in a home garden or city park.

In rare instances, the encounter with Spirit is spontaneous, a bolt from the blue.

But for most of us, receiving One Spirit Medicine is a process that requires careful preparation over time.

Otherwise, the experience will most likely be fleeting – a sudden flash of insight or revelation, maybe a good story to tell over dinner with friends, but nothing anywhere near life-changing.

Laying the groundwork for transformation requires both spiritual and physical action.

Physical preparation starts with priming the brain.

Today’s hectic lifestyle keeps us in a constant state of stress.

We need to be weaned off the stress hormones that promote a fight-or-flight mindset, and start producing the brain chemicals that create health, serenity, and joy.

The process begins with detoxification – ridding the brain of deadly toxins, and reducing the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol.

Then, we turn to superfoods to repair the region in the brain responsible for learning, and help the pineal gland manufacture DMT (dimethyltryptamine), a psychedelic compound that has been referred to as “the spirit molecule.” DMT allows us to experience a state of Oneness and connection to all.

This exchange of the toxic for the nourishing is necessary to recover our health and attain optimal well-being.

We can’t heal our emotions if our brain is toxic from mercury or lead poisoning, or our mind is careening unstoppably because our brain has been damaged by childhood trauma or pesticides in our food.

Ridding ourselves of environmental toxins is essential to restoring physical and mental health.

Superfoods and neuro-nutrients bring about changes in the brain that set us up for an extraordinary experience of higher consciousness, while spiritual preparation helps us let go of limiting beliefs and toxic behaviors.

As we free ourselves of outmoded stories about our past, One Spirit Medicine can infuse our being like a steady IV drip of healthy nutrients.

The benefits of One Spirit Medicine are far-reaching. Whether you’re suffering from a lifestyle-related disease, or you’re physically, mentally, or emotionally drained by the demands of your life, One Spirit Medicine can help you feel better and develop a renewed sense of purpose.

Through One Spirit Medicine we come to fully understand that how we perceive the world “out there” is a projection of internal maps that shape our beliefs and guide how we think, feel, and behave.

Stored as neural networks in the brain, these maps are the unconscious programs that drive our experience of life and the state of our health.

We want to change the maps that consider a 50 percent chance of Alzheimer’s a normal part of aging after 85, or rampant cancer and cardiovascular disease “normal.”

The key to optimum health is to upgrade the unconscious maps and limiting beliefs that have been driving us to a toxic lifestyle and relationships.

Some toxic energies can crystallize, becoming nearly material objects, which are impossible to metabolize through the Illumination Process and must be extracted manually.

These crystallized energies embed themselves in the physical body, taking on shapes such as daggers, arrows, spears, and swords.

Amazon shamans believe that crystallized energies are the result of black magic or sorcery.

I have found that these energies can be caused by anger, envy, or hatred directed at us by another person—often those who are closest to us.

Sometimes they are also energetic remnants from a former existence.

The Extraction process is performed during an Illumination, when the energetic landscapes of the chakras are revealed, and crystallized energies can be easily detected.

The Illumination combusts energies that collect around the crystallization and keep it wedged into the body, thereby facilitating the Extraction.

Negative energies are attracted to us when there is an affinity within us.

Anger can penetrate our LEF (Luminous Energy Field) only when the vibration for anger lives within us, and hatred can affect us only when self-hatred is present.

Consequently, it is not enough to extract the crystallized energies; the client’s affinities have to be changed as well.

The Illumination Process heals the affinities for these energies by clearing and stepping up the frequency at which a chakra spins.

As the vibratory rate of a chakra increases, we begin to attract pure, clear, beneficent energies.
There are five steps to the Extraction process.

First, I scan my client’s LEF, slowly passing my hand a few inches above the body.

I’m feeling for variations in temperature which often indicate the presence of a crystallized energy.

When I sense a shape, I wrap my hand around it and try to obtain an impression.

Then, I tease out the heavy energy at the base of the object, gathering these energies with my fingertips and flicking them to the Earth.

This begins to loosen the embedded object.

I move my hands to the release points at the back of the skull, triggering the release of any remaining toxic energies in the chakra.

There is not always a linear relationship between the site of the crystallized energy and the compromised chakra.

It is possible to find an embedded energy in the feet that involves the heart chakra.

That completed, I go back to the object, gently moving it from side to side and twisting to loosen it.

I invite my client to bring her awareness to the site and to feel my actions, asking her if she is experiencing any pain, or if I’m going too fast or too slow.

Often, I’ll ask my client to describe any images she is perceiving.

After the object is extracted, I illuminate the chakra, bathing it in pure light, to increase its vibratory rate and change the affinity.

Finally, I close the chakra and process with the client.

When I first learned the Extraction process, I thought the Amazon shamans perceived daggers, spears, and arrows embedded in their clients because such objects were the stuff of their everyday lives.

When I work with clients here I expected to detect objects more congruent with the symbols of modern warfare—guns and bullets.

To my surprise, I found exactly the same symbols that the jungle healers described.

I could make no sense of this until I considered that the brain’s limbic system evolved thousands of years ago at a time when our ancestors hunted game and slew each other with knives and spears.

The repertoire of images of this ancient brain structure remained unchanged.

The limbic brain takes the symbolic as literal.

When we have been betrayed, we say that we have been “stabbed in the back” because symbolically we have!

Contact me for more information and if you feel this is happening to you.

Most of my work is done remotely, and with clients all around the world.

So where ever you are we can work with this.

What is Spirit and what is a ceremony? Why do we use fire and ceremony?

The answers to these questions are complex and multidimensional, so there are many answers.

And any answers or understanding we get today will probably change when we ask the question again next time.

This is the nature of the great mystery.

We can’t know it.

We can only experience it.

When we experience something and we are conscious, we are changed forever.

A ceremony is an intentional event to celebrate and honor something sacred.

We gather at our fires to step outside of the limitation of our ordinary lives and ordinary time.

In ceremony, we step into sacred time and experience the infinite.

In ceremony, we grow our light bodies and feel our connection to all things.

We realize that everything is sacred and that all of life is a ceremony.

We gather at the fire because we walk the path of fire.

Fire is an element.

It is alive with the light of Ti.

It has the power to transform energy and matter in a very short time.

We use fire to transform instantly what would take long periods of time to process.

Fire consumes our heavy energy and transforms it back to light carrying our prayers with it.

Fire has such power that even a small candle or match can have more energy than we will ever need in a single ceremony or a single lifetime.

What better time to have a fire ceremony than during an equinox or a solstice.

The equinoxes happen in March (about March 21) and September (about September 23).

Equinoxes are opposite on either side of the equator, so the autumnal (fall) equinox is in the Northern Hemisphere, and the spring (vernal) equinox in the Southern Hemisphere.

These are the days when the Sun is exactly above the Equator, which makes day and night nearly equal in length, bringing balance and harmony to our nights and days. 

Likewise, we can strive to bring harmony into our lives during the equinoxes.

Equinoxes are different from solstices.

The two solstices happen in June (20 or 21) and December (21 or 22).

These are the days when the Sun’s path in the sky is the farthest north or south from the Equator.

A hemisphere’s winter solstice is the shortest day of the year and its summer solstice the year’s longest.

In the Northern Hemisphere the June solstice marks the start of summer: this is when the North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, and the Sun’s rays are directly overhead at the Tropic of Cancer.

The December solstice marks the start of winter: at this point the South Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, and the Sun’s rays are directly overhead at the Tropic of Capricorn. (In the Southern Hemisphere the seasons are reversed.)

Have you honored a solstice or equinox with a fire ceremony?

The shaman is a tracker, who can track luminous cords extending into the past and the future.

The energy of these cords, the most likely trajectory, is our momentum tunnel.

To step outside of it and make more powerful changes, we need to lighten our baggage.

The lighter and less attached we are, the more nimble we become.

We can choose to give up our baggage and attachments or they will be taken from us when the change becomes necessary.

When this happens our destiny is derailed and we fall into the grip of fate.

And the problem with fate is that it is preordained.

We are no longer free and become victims of our genetics, our karma, or the tragic stories from our childhood.
The momentum tunnel is the main channel of our timeline, charting the events of our past, present, and future.
99% of the future possibilities can be extrapolated in the direction of its flow.
These are the strands that lie inside the borders described by the solid cord of light extending from our past and into our future.
This is we’re 99 percent of the outcomes of our lives will fall.

Only one percent of the possibilities lie outside the momentum tunnel, these are the most difficult to achieve, but are often the most promising.

Our momentum tunnel is what keeps us going with the flow, executing the sole contracts we entered into when we were six, the genetic predispositions we inherited, and the choices we made before we were born.

If you’ve already made the difficult choices that lead to wellness, longevity, and inner peace, then a momentum tunnel may already be supporting a journey. (This is what happens when we change the toxic relationship, leave the nightmare job, eat well and exercise, and have harmony in our life.)
But for many of us who are in a more difficult place in which to alter the course of our lives, the one percent that lies outside the momentum tunnel is where we can go to find our destiny.
It’s where we can look when our life isn’t working and we need to explore other possibilities.

For example, when someone is diagnosed with a form of cancer that’s fatal for the majority of people, 99% of the destiny lines may lead to a lengthy, crippling illness, or to death.

Only one percent of the lines will lead to health, yet assessing the one percent requires them to change 99% of their life.

Their genetics, lifestyle choices, and emotional environment all line up in the momentum tunnel leading toward disease, so they can go about changing their lives one aspect at a time (dieting, quitting high stress job, and so on), or, more powerfully, they can change the whole trajectory of the momentum tunnel energetically by journeying along their timeline to select a more desirable destiny.

This destiny is installed on the timeline by the mere act of finding it and seeing it.

The course of the momentum tunnel is then altered.

Once the course of the momentum tunnel lines up with your destiny, you can transform your entire life.

You won’t need to micromanage every choice you make, you’re merely need to be a good steward of the circumstances of your life, with a full knowledge and trust that the best destiny has already been selected.

When destiny has been installed in your future, the universe conspires on your behalf to make it come true.

You’re inner-guidance systems direct you towards this destiny ,and the hand of Spirit holds you.
Changing the Course of the Momentum Tunnel

Although changing the course of our momentum tunnel can be extremely desirable, it’s often not an easy task.

Imagine for a moment the difference between flying a Boeing 747 and a helicopter.

A 747 is built so that your drink won’t shake too much on the tray table in front of you, it’s so smooth that you can take a nap and the pilot can put the plane on autopilot, wonder around the cabin, and checkin with the passengers.

The stability comes at a price. To turn a 747, you have to make a wide sweeping motion that takes time, particularly if you want to do it so that none of the passengers find their drinks in their laps.

This is how most of us design our lives, so that we can walk around on autopilot with a drink poised on a little table. But we pay a price.

And just like the 747 it takes time to change course.

A helicopter is a totally different machine that’s designed to turn on a dime and dart in and out of places quickly.

Forget about getting up and going for a stroll around the aircraft, all the attention needs to be focused on flying.

You also have the jettison any excess baggage because a helicopter has to travel light. That means the drinks, the meals, the flight attendance all have to go.

It’s like driving a pick up truck with a washer and dryer in the back, and suddenly you want to make a left turn.

Even if you manage to make the turn at 100 miles an hour, the washer and dryer will keep going forward, and you’ll probably roll the truck over and go off the road.

In order to make the turn safely you need to slow way down.

The problem is that most of us don’t know how to slow down the truck, that is, how to cut back on our work hours or change our relationship with our children, because we lost control of the momentum that propels us forward.
If we don’t jettison our baggage, then the washer and dryer, the job, the spouse, and even her health will be stripped from us.

Achieving stillness gives us access to  many shamanic practices, and mapping our lifelines and achieving clarity supports our ability to achieve stillness.

We have techniques and exercises that you can learn to landscape your own momentum tunnel.

It is important to approach this with an open mind.
Destiny isn’t always what we feel we want to change, but sometimes what we truly need to change in our lives, no matter how accomplished or successful, in order to have a healed and meaningful existence.

Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, there’s a marked difference between fate (which is known as karma among Eastern traditions) and destiny (also known as dharma).

Fate is a course that’s been predetermined by our family, our history, our genes, and our emotional wounds – it is the prearranged and seemingly inevitable series of events that happen to us.

We speak about the fate of nations with a sense of inevitability.

We sometimes hear of two individuals meeting, or of a relationship breaking apart, and say that it was “fated to happen.”

Fate appears unavoidable and stalks us at every turn in our lives.

For example, we leave one spouse only to end up in the same relationship with another person.

Fate is also deadly; in fact, it has the same origin as the word fatality.

Destiny, on the other hand, is the purpose and calling of a life, and it can be discovered and realized.

Early Greeks believed that fate was spun from a certain thread, and that once it was woven into a cloth it was irreversible; they saw destiny, on the other hand, as a force or agency that could intervene to reweave the cloth of fate.

Destiny allows you to transcend fate and live free of negative emotional and genetic programming.

By stepping into your destiny, you can free yourself from an inheritance of breast cancer or heart disease, or from an emotional history that causes you to continually remarry an updated version of an unsuitable spouse.

Destiny allows you to navigate life instead of stumble through it.

When you step into your destiny, you can participate consciously in your own growth.

I believe that destiny can also happen without divine intervention – but it requires that you become conscious of your past wounds and respond to the calling you were born with.

Then you can steer the course of your own life.

Biologists and the Laika have different understandings of evolution.

Biologists think that it happens only between generations – that is, our children may be smarter and healthier than we are, but it’s too late for the current generation to change.

But the Laika understand that evolution happens within generations, so you can actually uncoil the layers of your genetic code to reinform your DNA and change your genetic fate.

Science believes that our genes can’t be altered, and we’re all bound to inherit certain traits and tendencies from previous generations.

So if a genetic predisposition runs in your family, your children’s fate has been sealed: The breast cancer you inherited from your mother is just waiting to express itself, and the heart condition passed down from your father will spring up like a jack-in-the-box down the road.

Like the Laika, I believe that we can change our destiny so that our children will inherit the healed traits we develop in our lifetime, as we uncoil the genetic code another strand.

Through journeying, we can track a destiny in which we heal and age differently, one in which we avoid manifesting the ailments of our ancestors or reliving our childhood traumas.

Journeying can guide us to grow new bodies informed not only by who we’ve been in the past, but by who we’ll be 10,000 years from now.
