This week, we look at the importance of the 'direction' and orientation to the local spirits.  This is an aspect of orientation that can get overlooked in many people's practices.  However, when you begin to highlight these connections, you deepen the help and support for your healing sessions with yourself or with others. We offer guidance for how to include the local spirits in your shamanic rituals.

Hello and welcome to Shaman College podcast. My name is Kimba.

As I sit here, I am tuning in and welcoming the direction of the local spirits. And this is a direction that I want to discuss with you today and look at.  As I sit here, I'm in my treatment space and the local spirits are interwoven into this treatment space. So many healing sessions have been done here, and I know that the trees that overlook this space the plants, the fox paths, the underground stream, the birds that live in the hedges and trees, the...

In this video, Kimba welcomes you into an experience of the Hollow Bone. This is the state of being through which shamanic healing can occur. It is a place of both presence and emptiness. It is the fullest emptiness. To work within this state a shedding of persona and beliefs is required. This is a practice that seems to develop with time and yet, it is accessible to all at any moment

Hello, my name is Kimba and this is our Shaman college blog. Welcome. This week I would like to explore and share with you the hollow bone. This is the state of being that we enter into as we do shamanic healing work.

The hollow bone or I sometimes say the "hollow one".

Let's look at this together...what is there to look at? Well first of all, we don't become the "hollow" do we? The hollow, you can't see it. It is the space, the rich full space. But the bone, the bone is form. The bone is some thing that you can contact.

So the hollow bone becomes a metaphorical touchstone,...

Psychopomp is an advanced healing art that many but not all shamans practice. Sometimes through the process of life, dying and death- an individual soul can remain in this Middle world, bound by confusion, loss, or desires to hold-on in some ways to this world. Practitioners work with their spirit guides to assist these souls to freedom.

We share this video with you, to demonstrate a real example of a Psycopomp session and to illustrate some of the aspects of this beautiful and very needed healing art.

Video Transcript:

Hello and welcome. In this video, I'm going to share with you a personal few sessions that I did having to do with psychopomp and it's personal because these were sessions for my grandmother.  I will explain to you the details, but I will show you how the ramifications and the implications reach out to a broader community.

Before we get into the details though, I want you to know that I'm coming from a place of deep honouring, gratitude and respect to...

There can be a tendency among us humans, especially in today’s digital and technological world, to depend on our visual sense. Have you seen people sucked in to their screens? Maybe you have noticed your own tendencies? What is happening is that many people are basically ‘watching the show’ of life.

As sensitive beings, as people drawn to Earth-based spirituality, healing, and the shamanic views, we can work with our senses, subtle senses, and emotional senses in a way that taps us in to our super powers and allows us to both receive information and offer assistance out into our world.

In this video I share insights into some of our subtle senses, and encourage you to  ‘look’ within and become aware of your own tendencies. All of us are impacted by our inherited and environmental factors, which create certain filters on our various senses. However, these can be cleared and opened and assist in a deep healing. This can happen for you with a...

In this video, Barbara Clark from Shaman College interviews Kimba Bridgeman about the creation, importance and power in our course, Your Spirit Allies.

In this 'behind the scenes' conversation, you are invited to the discussion and exploration of who these spirit allies are, how can they help us, why its important to be able to connect with them in this reality, and other insights about the process of group intention, healing and gathering.

We want to keep these interviews and videos coming for you! We know that it is our living practice and our heart's love for this Earth and all beings that we continue to support our community and the growth of shamanic healing world-wide.

Please note, we have a NEW START DATE for this course... March 1, 2020.

You may be feeling that you are being called upon, more than ever.

As a group, we are powerfully sensitive beings. This can be source of immense strength and service, however we must be regularly grounded in our self-care and empowerment.

At this time on our planet... our self-practice is needed perhaps more than ever so that we may truly be of service.

Barbara Clark, our Shaman College Teacher and Mentor, shares this message with us all. Welcome her guidance... she is a powerful healer and wisdom keeper.

You are invited into a meeting with Kimba Bridgeman and Catherine Center... as they discuss, practice and hold love for Mother Earth.

Catherine is one of our teachers and mentors.  She shares with us her personal practise, her wisdom and dedication to healing and love for Earth.

Together, Kimba and Catherine speak about shamanic healing as a daily individual reality that does not depend on client-based work, yet is needed and important here today.  They also explore the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine as both beautiful when they are in their highest and fullest vibration. These discussions are further invitations for you to explore your own views, beliefs and insights.

Finally, there is a proposal for the whole of the Shaman College community to join in a daily practise of holding love for Mother Earth.  Each of us can do this - even if its for only 5 minutes a day, at anytime that is convenient to our lives.

This international community practise (practice)......

In this meeting with Nshimta, we get into a wide range of topics from the power in journeying with a drum to the art of psychopomp and its importance here.

It is always a joy to meet up with our graduates and hear about their work.  They are all inspiring beings. One of the things that stands out to me... across all of our teachers and practitioners, is the realness.  You know, when that ego is set aside and the real, true vibration flows from a place of gratitude and honouring for this beautiful place that we all share.

When I met with Nshimta, I got that feeling I was with a healer and wisdom keeper from many traditions.  She brings in her vast experience in bodywork, chiropractics, nutrition, Chinese medicine and more into a spiritual and full view of our life here. An experienced healer from many paths, Nshimta is a blessing to be with.

I believe this interview is 'just' a meeting and sampling of the wisdom that Nshimta has to offer us all.  I personally...

Sharing here some key aspects of how shamanic spiritual healing is needed here today for our far-too-often scattered lives.  With our health and well-being separated into categories, we can really use that interconnected web of spiritual healing that weaves us back together.

Shamanism for Self-healing is our foundation course and is open to everyone who is called to these nature ways, these ancient ways for today!  This course is written by Dr. Steve Serr and based on his work, Recovering Myself.  Each student works with a personal mentor who is both a shamanic practitioner and a trained teacher of the shamanic arts.

We have spaces available for our September 15, 2019 class.

This is an invitation to join in a group consciousness practice of blessings and prayers for the Amazon.

One of the gifts of our deep, self-practice is that we open up to the potential and power that we each have. This allows us as individuals, to let our hearts and our awareness to expand beyond the boundaries of what we call 'me'.

And of course as a collective, our blessings resound.

If you feel drawn to this, please join me.  If not... find your own words and your own images.  The important message, is to let this healing potential within you to flow.
