| Golden Deer Stories for Transformation, Healing and Blessing Holistic Healing and Shamanic Mentoring Joan Marie Mickelson Holistic and Shamanic Practitioner |
The Tiger Train ...Johanna looked up at the stars the way she did when she sat on her swing in the back yard. She felt the buoyancy of the mother elk's rhythmic steps as if she were floating higher and higher on each upswing, as when she pumped her legs, feeling light and airy...with each step the elk and Johanna lifted higher above the parking lot outside the hospital until Johanna looked down upon what looked like the straight angular river of glittering black waters, red and white lights flowing through a land of sparkles below faded and dis appeared. The mother elk carried the child in this way through the silent blackness until they came to our forest. |
Private instruction in integrated
shamanic and holistic healing
Benefits of a practice accessing the Divine
through the Imagination:
Who would benefit?
Once upon a time....
...you sat near a campfire under a starry sky and felt
wonder; looked into the eyes of a wild animal and
felt transfixed; had a flash of intuitive insight.
...your ancestors knew the spiritual reality hidden
behind stones, and inside the trees, rivers, animals
and birds.
...your ancestors recognized the essential beauty
and harmony of all that is within and upon the earth,
understood the wisdom of living in unity with
creation.
...mystics experienced shifts of consciousness that
allowed them to experience the love inherent in the
universe. Shamans knew techniques to perceive
and interact with the spiritual realities. They gained
the spirit’s compassionate wisdom, healing and
knowledge for the benefit of their community.
...shamans understood how to walk the web of life.
Today, contemporary urban shamans use ancient
techniques to perceive the same hidden spiritual
realities. Through journeying techniques the shamanic
practitioner recovers the consciousness that every
person has latent within but may have forgotten how to
access.
Everyone dreams at night. Through journey techniques,
you will learn to utilize the consciousness experienced
during dream states and peak experiences. Through
training and practice, you, the shamanic practitioner will
experience the parallel universe of spiritual or non-
ordinary reality.
Joan Marie will act as your mentor, giving you one-on-
one instruction individualized to your unique
requirements.
