Buddhess within a Teepee

There is no human authority on Shamanism or any other spirituality,
there are human guides who help to show the way
but getting inside and following the path is a matter of personal growth from what i read...there is no correct way,
although some should be able to help with what works and what doesn't by discussing their own experience.

This goes for healing too,
there are no limits
and if that which is within is reflected outside
then the more individuals take the structures down,
the more the structures around society will become fluid and drop,
causing fear and insecurity until the 'universal (inc. human) consciousness' accepts it
- look at the sixties.

Isn't it possible that Those practising now are
leading the human race through a series of consciousness expansions,
lifting the awareness of humanity just by practising their own art.
In my teaching I've found the people I teach now
are understanding Reiki
and feeling/experiencing the flow of it
in a quarter of the time it took my early students...
I don't think that has anything to do with my methods,
it's because the awareness & consciousness
of humans in general has been raised.

There was a prophecy or theory
I read some time ago that there are many
'teachers' reborn at the moment
to help bring about the change in spirituality...
I'd imagined all these people coming together,
meeting up and deciding a plan...
now I see all they had to do was
find the truth within themselves.

It's officially recognised, now, that to feel connected to Nature, do Reiki and/or other healing techniques and be drawn to Eastern Spiritual understanding...i.e. going within and working out the reasons you are feeling unhappy & realising the need to deal with your own attitude and beliefs to heal yourself, is part of a major movement.
Educational establishments and leading authorities in religious understanding have concluded that Paganism and other understandings within the 'New Age' movement do have common denominators and people, whilst taking responsibility for their own spirituality and healing, are drawn to Nature and ancient understanding of Nature - i.e. Paganism, Native American understanding, - and Eastern philosophies - Buddhism based understanding mainly.
As a Reiki Master, I have found myself drawn in exactly the same way and wondered about my sanity more than once, however reading other peoples material has been a relief...& now thanks to the Open University, I can be assured that we were right all along, the real path to spiritual freedom and healing is the way I'm walking. Great to know isn't it, we can drop the doubts and just enjoy walking our own unique paths, I know my path & I am unique, I know this because I have Unicorn Medicine, precious isn't it.

Even more stunning is the realisation that however an individual starts out on their path, and whatever their motivations, they all arrive at the same connectedness, even though each individual has walked their own unique path to get there...

Through Reiki and being interested in The Great Spirit...I've come back to Earth, know myself and I'm truly blessed, and very grateful.
What's also special is the knowledge that working on oneself raises the consciousness beyond the warring others...and that by creating within oneself this peaceful, beautiful space which is reflected around, as within so without, one can actually work towards lifting the energies of others within the human race.
Perhaps current wars are a healing crisis...

Finding the Buddhess within is easy...first find a quiet place to sit, then gently take your thoughts into your chakras one by one, to bring yourself within, to ground feel your feet on the floor and then take your thoughts to the Earth below your feet (or the floor). Now centre, place your hands over the Heart Chakra, preferably with Reiki flowing, and breath into this centre, getting an impression that energy from your hands is being drawn in with the inbreath.

Now, give yourself a little impression that your walking down a pathway on the energy that is being drawn into your heartspace (the heartspace is located in the upper centre of your chest). The pathway will lead up or down steps and to a doorway. The doorway is the entrance to your Sacred Space. Enter this space and you'll find or get an impression of :
Earth - flowers, grass, trees.
Water - a fountain, lake, waterfall, river or the sea.
Fire - sunlight or starlight.
Air - breezes or birds singing.

Also in the space may be animals, mythical or otherwise...these are bringing their own peculiar strengths into your life at this time...trees could be the same.

Somewhere in this space is Your Buddha or Buddhess...it may not be easy to see them...but you can get an impression that your in the presence of someone...and questions you ask within your mind will be answered.
If you go into your sacred space with a specific question in mind the answer may come to you symbollically...rather that try to work it out within the inner space, wait until you've returned and then contemplate the whole experience...you may have found yourself moving through events with different animals with you helping you overcome any obstacles you came to. Or you may 'see' events in front of yourself, either way getting impressions, registering them and after returning to outer life analysing them is the best format.
To come back, get an impression or see yourself coming back through the door, closing it behind you, come back up the path and you're there. Remember to be grateful to any energies you encountered.
