Honoring the shift in seasons is such important work to do as we are as affected by the seasonal changes as the Earth and all of life is. By performing ceremonies to welcome in changing seasons we can prepare mentally, emotionally, and physically for new periods of growth in our life. And it is important to enter each season with awareness that the shift is creating big changes in you too. Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman as they speak about honoring the equinox. And join in as Sandra and...

Join Renee and Sandra as they discuss a topic on so many people’s minds today. We are hearing from so many listeners about their struggles about personal freedom and expressing one’s truth versus taking care of oneself in these troubling times. Is it just selfish to block out the craziness in the world right now and find peace within? What a difficult choice this is for so many of us. What do we have the power to change? What are appropriate actions to take right now? How do we take care of ours...

To be able to continue walking forward through what life has to bring us and teach us we need to have our spiritual fire burning so that we have the strength to overcome the obstacles that life naturally brings. Everything that is alive needs the spiritual strength to walk through the fires of life. And that inner strength comes from your own fire burning carrying you through the dangerous flames that are part of our life’s journey. Our inner fire controls the power of our inner strength. If our...

In former times, before we had so much technology, people learned about life and were given a road map by listening to stories from elders. So many people had the opportunity to be taught from their grandparents about the challenges life brings to us and how to walk through the darkness without getting lost. This was an important part of indigenous life too as stories always helped to teach the community the road map of living a healthy and balanced life. Today people have technology to tell us ...

Life challenges us to watch as we perceive so many people and nature beings suffering and going through intense challenging experiences. People have lost their homes, their health, their rights for freedom, and the list goes on. We watch beings in nature suffer through challenges that humans have created by not being caretakers of the Earth. A typical response to this is to pity those who we perceive as suffering. And when we find out someone we know is challenged by an illness we want to rush i...

So many of us are doing so much spiritual work right now to find meaning in life, to heal, to grow, and evolve. In indigenous cultures when communities did spiritual work to create positive change they performed ceremonies, danced, and sang and stayed in their body while doing these physical acts. Today with all the guided journeys, meditation, sound healings, and so on people are having blissful spiritual experiences, but are leaving their bodies as they float off into the transcendent realms w...

Life as we know is not going to go back to normal. We are moving into a different time where our personality continues to be sculpted into our true spiritual identity where we can be a greater presence in our communities and in the world. Many people are trying to run away from life right now. And many are taking the time to do the inner work that helps us to create a new dream in the world. But to dream we need quiet, rest, and the time to reflect. Renee Baribeau and Sandra Ingerman talk about ...

In traditional cultures ceremonial work can be devoted to for weeks when serious healing work for a community member or when a whole community needs healing help to restore harmony. Today it is rare to see modern day shamanic practitioners performing long ceremonial work and staying with the ceremony until the work is truly done for now. Renee Baribeau just led the I AM Symposium, and she had hundreds of people keeping fires lit and holding the space over weeks of the presenters sharing their wi...

These ways of working are known ways to help the body dea...

Renee and Sandra have talked about loss in past shows as it is powerful initiation. As we end the New Year we know people are dealing with a tremendous amount of loss whether it is from the fear of getting ill, angry at all the division in the world, loss of finances, health, family and the the goes on. Shamanism teaches that loss is a powerful path to a deeper spiritual life, a new way of perceiving life, and an evolution of consciousness as the hard parts of us are rescultped so that we are a ...

As we approach a New Year we will begin to see predictions from all kinds of sources of what is to come in 2022. But is this helpful to us? Shamans are gardeners of energy. And the seeds that get planted may never come to pass and might even create more challenges for us as we water seeds that we don’t want to germinate. What opportunities do we miss when we can’t stay in the present and see that the actions we take in the present are actually creating our future? Join Renee Baribeau and Sandra ...

We often focus so much on emanating love and light we forget we also signed up to be in Earth school right now.

People often travel to places on the planet that are considered sacred sites. But imagine if you connected with the land you live on, whether in the city or country, as a sacred site. And to add to this you communicate with this sacred site on a daily basis so that a clear and strong vortex is set up between you and the universal forces to create successful ceremonies. When we visit what we deem as sacred sites in foreign lands we don’t take the time to eatable a familial relationship with the l...

There is so much division in the world right now. And as Renee Baribeau points out in shamanism everything is energy. And for Sandra Ingerman the energy on this planet has been splitting off in different dimensions for a very long time. Renee and Sandra have talked about this topic before as this is spiritual information that Sandra has been passionate about sharing since the 1980s. The forces of division are speeding up the process of creating new dimensions of reality. And the energy we feed g...

In the practice of shamanism gratitude is a building block to a good life. Without gratitude we don’t get to enter the flow of life and nature. Rather we are pushed around by life. Gratitude actually gives us a certain amount of power and control in our lives. It helps us to enter into the flow of the river of life which will always lead us to our destined path. No matter how life is getting you down gratitude has the power to be like a buoy to hold onto, a lifesaver when you need some support. ...

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau did a show on the need to find ways to love ourselves in the midst of todays stressors where nothing is working as it used to or how we want.

Infrastructure holds so many meanings as Renee and Sandra both learned as they recorded this show. There are so many levels to talk about. Renee and Sandra start by talking about how our collective infrastructure is deteriorating to make room for new growth. And then discussion moved and and shifted into other areas of life that provide infrastructure. Everything in nature has an order and a structure. When we learn how to follow the river of life we realize that turbulence is required to shake ...

Sandra Ingerman and Renee Baribeau felt that this was an important topic to discuss at this time. For many people are losing faith due to what some are calling the whiplash effect. One day you are told you are safe and the the Covid will be leaving soon. The next news story a few days later may say the opposite. So our heads are turning like a whiplash action. You think you are done and then you are told to go back inside. But this is life. Cycles and phases of change can take long periods of ti...

People are worn out, stressed to the max, and feeling like there is not a clear path ahead. This is a time to honor our feelings and learn how to be in appropriate service to others.

But in this challenging time where everyone has their own journey to walk it is appropriate and necessary to create boundaries and honor and take care of yourself. People are exhausted now, and it Is time to regenerate. Renee and Sandra talk ab...

At a time on the planet when what it is being called for in behalf of all life is to devote our lives to ceremony and prayer, people are fighting with each other and trying to force their belief systems on others.

We are in such intense times. And obviously no one is privy to how long our life will be. There are so many stages in one's life’s journey. There is a time to be an activist if this calls to you.

Nature is our healing balm. But as humans instead of really engaging with other nature beings and nature itself we often watch nature as if we are watching a movie. This really disconnects us from life itself but also keeps us from truly tapping into the magic that shamans have known and worked with for tens of thousands of years. We have choices when we perceive the world around us. And unfortunately in our times we don’t recognize the dimensions that are right behind the one we are living in. ...
