Write A Way: Journey to Creativity You as Publisher By Sandra Lee Schubert

There are wonderful things that can happen as a writer. Having your first article published and seeing your byline in a magazine is great fun. Of course getting paid is a great benefit.

The Shaman Way: Why Study Shamanism? By Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls

Why study Shamanism? As a Shaman Elder, this is probably the most common question I hear. And do you know why so many people ask it? Because we are brought up in a society that does not have Shamanism. Worse than that, we are brought up without community. In the old days, we were raised with a strong community around us. We lived together, played together, grew up together and sometimes even died together. We had elders and doctors and teachers and medical advisors within this strong close-knit community.

Here's What You're Saying About Our Courses...

"The course content is very well laid out and covers the topic very well; it also goes into enough depth to gain a good understanding. There is a lot of interesting facts that were included. There was a nice amount of further reading and reference material at the end of each [lesson]. The attunement was a very significant part of the course." ~ Glen Meyer, IT Specialist, South Africa (Reiki I course)


"Shamanism is something I have just recently looked in to, and my friend kindly bought this course for me as a present and what a wonderful gift to receive, I have found it has helped me immensely on my path of knowledge." ~ Maxine M., United Kingdom (Shaman course)


"This course has validated much of what I've been feeling - allowing me to accept my feelings as normal and productive. Although I have more than a few supportive people in my life, none of them understand how losing my daughter has changed my life so completely. This course is helping me by addressing the issues I'm facing." ~ Ellen Forrest, Canada (First Year of Grief course)

This Month's Holistic Prayer

Intuition Invocation
By Deborah Redfern

May I be open to intuitive knowing, with knowledge that this is how the universe communicates with me,
May I trust my intuitive knowing, with knowledge that this is how the universe communicates with me.

I welcome signs, symbols, coincidences, synchronicity and being in the right place at the right time.
More and more I allow myself to receive this assistance from the universe
in co-creating my life with guidance from my higher source.

~ Deborah Redfern is the creator of Dancing with Energy: 9 Steps to Manifesting Your Soul's Desires with Feng Shui


   


A Prayer for Healing
By Ceisiwr Serith

I pray today to the Lady of Fire,
great Brighid, Triple Goddess.
There is someone here who needs you,
someone who is sick.
I ask you to bring your healing flame,
the warmth of life, into him,
burning away all that is making him sick,
that I might always have cause to praise you.
