Remember the movie Mad Max Beyond the Thunderdome? Where our hero Max seeks shelter in a post-apocalyptic world, fought endless power struggles, banished to a desert wasteland while trying to help children find "Tomorrowland"? If I close my eyes I can hear Tina...

This past month has been very difficult for people. There seems to be a theme of anger and frustration around the concept of forgiveness. And believe it or not that’s a good thing because it signifies we are beginning to dig deeper into the process of forgiveness. The last email on forgiveness brought us to a visual exercise. This time it’s about mirroring and forgiveness.

Dear Rosa,
I’m having a hard time with forgiveness and I can’t stop thinking on why I just can’t let go. I’m holding it in my mind and gut. I’m becoming my own worst enemy, a little girl standing firmly, with her hands balled into fists, at her sides, yelling at the world.

Core shamanism, devoid of specific cultural mores and codes, is a system of fundamental cross-cultural principles found in all shamanic cultures. These core methods are easily integrated into contemporary life and provide easy, safe, reliable means to manifest positive life-changing results. My remarks address the experiential aspect of core shamanism: the intimate ways in which the spirits transformed my life.
