A Master recently told me that regardless of what is going on around her, She is always happy, always at peace and always optimistic. I fully understood her message but living it everyday in a dynamic society makes this concept very challenging. Our cities are large and tend to create conditions that produce tensions within us and one another, but all of that is just the surface. Shamanic thinking will naturally help us see the world as a dance of energies interacting with one another through a process of evolution. A person’s ego is probably one of the most evident ways we can clearly observe this phenomenon.

As I have mentioned before in Shamanism we aim to be centered and aligned as often as possible and we have many techniques to achieve this very successfully. At the essence of it all is the personal desire to act (vibrate) in this direction. Without going into a more transcendental subject, what makes a human being so incredibly special and unique is his/her full and unlimited range of free will. You reading this, in the next moment can choose to think of something beautiful or not. We tend to forget this in the flow of our everyday life. We perceive life in a certain way and fully believe it is so; and yet this perceived reality is based on ideas and thoughts that are so recurring that they take an energy of their own which attract a manifested reality of their equivalence. To change your life, look deeper and understand that not everything you believe or think is always accurate, especially if it concludes in a reality that you dislike. A simple exercise to test this notion is your past. Whatever happened to you in the past wasn’t so bad and actually helped manifest all of the blessings you enjoy today. Who you are today, could have never happened unless everything was exactly the way your past unfolded. Take a little moment to be grateful for this, exercise your free will and choose to do this now, go in that direction and see how your life magically becomes even more of a blessing within the next few minutes…
