EMBRACE IT! Regardless of the social position you were born in, the community construct humans have created will demand more of you. It’s not that the system is broken or rigged, but rather that all systems will eventually lead to you having to develop inner virtues. Don’t complain, this energy will create more to complain about in the future if you do. Realize how exciting of an opportunity you…

A cracked rock emits the glowing golden light of your inner potential I personally choose to believe that every human being is doing the very best they can based on their current level of awareness and evolution. Through years of both personal experience and shamanic practice, I have also come to recognize that Earth offers a remarkable opportunity for personal and spiritual growth, providing…

Colorful overlapping human silhouettes filled with cosmic stars and galaxies stand in space. We become addicted to thought patterns. Those thought patterns generate intense recurring emotions, and those emotions become instructions for the subconscious mind. Because the subconscious can assess the present far more comprehensively than the conscious mind, it constantly scans for possibilities…

Mother Nature, Pachamama, is always in loving harmony. The seasons unfold in their proper time. The planets move in predictable cycles. Every living organism participates in an extraordinary order that existed long before humanity appeared. Harmony is not something nature seeks—it is nature itself, it is health, joy, love, prosperity, etc. Human beings are part of that same natural order. Yet…

For years, I’ve kept this event to myself, but now, as I enter a new stage of my life, it is probably irrelevant to all the parties involved. It is absolutely true that governments and larger institutions have programs that involve parapsychology and mind-influencing research. I don’t know much about their operating procedures because, as I’ll explain shortly, I never got that far with the…

One of the most reliable signs of wisdom is not what a person believes. It is what they refuse to dismiss. The truly wise rarely ridicule an idea, a person, a spiritual path, a scientific theory, or an experience simply because it falls outside their current understanding. They know that reality is far larger than any individual perspective. They understand that today’s absurdity can become…

One of the things I love most about the Andean shamanic tradition is that it is fundamentally optimistic. It does not begin with the assumption that life is happening to you. It begins with the understanding that life is responding to your evolution. This does not mean that difficult things never happen. Challenges, losses, disappointments, and uncertainty are part of the human experience. The…

In our modern world, science has become the dominant authority on truth. If something can be measured, weighed, quantified, or reproduced in a laboratory, it is considered real. If it cannot, many people dismiss it as imagination, coincidence, or wishful thinking. Yet there is a fascinating clue hidden within language itself. The word science comes from the Latin scientia, meaning “knowledge.”…

One of the most fascinating things I observe in my work as a Shaman with clients is that people rarely tell you everything through their words. In fact, some of the most important information is often found in what appears to be a completely unrelated answer. Imagine asking someone about a particular family member, a business strategy, a relationship, or a challenge they are facing. Instead of…

For many years, I have contemplated a question that continues to emerge in my work with clients, in ceremony, and in my own spiritual journey: What if Earth is not simply a place where we are born, work, struggle, and eventually die? What if Earth is actually a school? Not a school in the conventional sense, but a vast and sophisticated training ground for consciousness itself. When I look at…

Understanding Fatigue, Anxiety, Vivid Dreams, and Other Unusual Sensations During Spiritual Growth and Personal Transformation Have you ever made a heartfelt request to the Universe, Spirit, God, or your Higher Self and then shortly afterward begun experiencing unusual physical sensations? Perhaps you asked for greater health, a loving relationship, more abundance, deeper purpose, or a more…

A marksman understands something most people never fully recognize: the world is not experienced all at once. It is narrowed. Filtered. Focused through intentional attention. Before the trigger is pulled, there are layers. Distance. Wind. Motion. Possibility. The eye enters the scope and reality shapes around a concentric circle. The outer world fades into blur while the center becomes…

Many healing traditions throughout the world begin from a fundamentally different perception of human discomfort than the modern medical model. In the shamanic or “transmuting” approach, symptoms, maladys, emotional heaviness, or energetic disturbances are not automatically perceived as permanent diseases or fixed conditions. Instead, they are understood as energy communicating imbalance,…

There are moments during energy (mesa) work when the arrangement no longer feels directed by the hands. The field begins organizing itself. Recently, while working with the outer stone pattern of my shamanic mat, mesa, I noticed something I had not consciously designed. The outer stones had formed the nearest approximation to a seven-pointed celestial structure, the ancient pattern associated…

I just returned from Peru. This time it was a visit designed to reconnect with family in Peru and to explore new places as a tourist, but in the end I was also inwardly compelled to go visit one of my Master Shamans, Carlos, while in Cuzco. The last few times I had visited Carlos, he’d mentioned he wanted to take me to a very private sacred site and do a ritual to connect with the heart of…

Two turns before arriving home, I stop at a red light. There are a few cars in front of me, all of them look expensive. This is because I am in an affluent commercial area of Miami. There is one small car that does not fit that profile. It looks a little beat up and old, from the 2000s maybe, one of its fenders slightly unhinged. Out of nowhere, a white bag floats and sways with the wind. As the…

Imagine waking from a dream and finding yourself before three presences: one small and shy, one that feels like the closest friend you have ever known, and one so authoritative you cannot meet its gaze. In the dream you have just left, you spent years running from something unseen. Only now do you recognize that it could have been paradise, had you trusted yourself within it. Then the…
