We are born with natural instincts and power that remains in our bodies always. We access these instincts at any time. For example, a “gut” feeling may tell you about a person or situation. When we feel and smell moisture in the air and know that rain is coming. With continuous education of working with our natural instincts and power, we can refine ourselves to become a conscious, powerful human being, connected with all forces of nature.
By recognizing and acknowledging nature in all its aspects, one will connect with it, and will experience its energizing affect, which, simultaneously, energizes the land and its inhabitants.
Simple daily practice with nature assists with inner and outer, healthy balance and harmony for you and all creation.
The Shaman Creation Prayer is one simple practice for a daily creation connection. Say it several times a day, or when it calls to you. With time and practice, it will affect your being. There are movements that can be done with this prayer this are found on my Life as a Garden website under the Blog icon, titled:
We Are Shaman. https://lifeasagarden.com/blog-2/
Simply phrased: A “Shaman” is a person who believes in a high power which governs the earth and universe, is connected with nature and all of creation, and uses its wisdom for the betterment of the earth and its inhabitants, seen and unseen. A Shaman’s power is derived from the simple truths of nature. A Shaman is not only concerned with the inner and outer health of an individual, but, are also concerned for the inner and outer health of the entire community of all life, all creation.
Shaman Creation Prayer
Every leaf
of every tree
feeds my soul.
The sun,
and the rain
feeds my soul.
All the creatures
of the earth
and of the air
and of the waters
and of the fire
feeds my soul.
And every being
that I meet
feeds my soul
and makes me strong
and wise.
All of creation
feeds my soul.
