Ancient SAJTAN cures re-introduced by Traditional Indigenous Shaman.

For the first time in over 100 years the ancient custom of Traditional Indigenous Shamans from Mongolia making healing SAJTAN for people is now being offered in America.

These indigenous healing pouches contain holy items of animal, vegetable and mineral spirits who gather together in a special  pouch for a person’s specific healing request. This ceremonial healing item is made by Traditional Indigenous Shaman Elder Maggie and was handed down to her by her own Shaman family lineage from Mongolia.
This almost forgotten curative is a very powerful energetic healing force and is carried in its own pouch on one’s person or in one’s purse or wallet and will work continuously for all types of maladies from anger mangaement to fear to broken limbs to financial distress. No matter what the malady, this ancient healing force is certain to bring relief. There is nothing to eat or drink or take internally. One simply carries this pouch on one’s person or wears it.

 No one else on the planet is offering SAJTAN today as it is an ancient shamanic tool all but lost to the modern world. Thanks to Shaman Elder Maggie, anyone can now have this powerful tool to help them find what they need in life. There is a limited supply and Shaman Maggie may stop making them at any time. The asked for donation is only $19.95 with free shipping and handling and a satisfaction guarantee. You can find out how to get yours at www.shamanelder.com/invitation.htm

” I would say that the sajtan is breaking and chipping away at my heart so that my true heart that is pure, free and unresticted by old pain, bad attitudes and judjments can emerge.  I feel a bit emotional about my sajtan.  It is so precious to me! 
Stay Happy and Shine your light.” -Shelly

“The results are amazing.. i really feel the sajtan has done it’s magic.. i’m almost pain free.. i feel wonderful waking up in the morning and bending over to tie my shoes which was a painful chore just three weeks ago… so it’s been wonderful.. so much so i’m not taking it off after 30 days.. ha ha!!  i feel wonderful!!!  love ya!!”- Jill Marie

“I just wanted to thank you very much for the healing medicine sajtan. It is doing wonders for me so far! I’m less depressed than I have been in years.”- Eileen

“You saved my life, thank you.  i think i would have gone crazy if you didnt exist. i owe you a debt that i dont think i can repay to you.  but maybe i can repay it by showing the world the light.  thank you so much”-Alex

Remember that this is not intended to diagnose or prescribe and ones’ own medical doctor should always be consulted for any physical illness. This is strictly healing energy.

 

Face The Wind

“Tatohiyetakiya”
Native American braves knew this expression well. We need to know it right now today too.
It means “Face the Wind”.

Face The Wind in your life right now with courage.

The couragious strength of Peace.

Are you willing to be at Peace?

Are you willing to allow Peace into your life right now, at this moment?

Are you willing to Face the Wind of Peace in your life? To end the melodrama of your own making?

What does it take to allow the Wind of Peace into your life at this moment now?

Not much really.
Just to end the mental friction you have been living on and eating up all day long for so long that it has become a habit in your life.

End the mental friction now by being in this moment now, and you can face the wind of Peace in your life.

End the emotional constriction that sucks the life out of you. Allow yoursef once again to get out of the jail of emotional constriction and celebrate what you DO have in this moment now, what is GOOd in your life now. Celebrate the sun coming up and the fact there you have a roof over your head and food on your table now, today. Look at all you have and take an attitude of gratitude for these things right now.

Face the wind and choose to allow that wind of peace to blow over you and through you into all areas of your life right now.
You are the only one who is not allowing the wind of peace to affect you.

“Tatohiyetakiya” Face the Wind

The couragious strength of Peace.

Do You Effect the World or Does the World Effect You?

 In this day of chaos and catastrophe both natural and man made, so many people feel overwhelmed by the changes that seem to be imposed upon them. More and more people are feeling helpless against the tides from conditions at home, in the workplace and climatic events as well. This creates a feeling of helplessness and control from outside sources creates fear.

 Many new age thinkers have been talking about co-creation or creating your own destiny, manifesting what you want in life. But today that idea seems even more ridiculous as we labor under conditions that we neither asked for nor wanted. How can someone claim to create their own reality with abundance and health and freedom in these times of political unrest, job dissatisfaction, low wages, high unemployment and ravaging disease?

 Many people with religious upbringing have been taught to just ask the Will of God into their lives and give control of the future to whatever Supreme Being they believe in. By giving control away we can always blame someone else when things turn ugly for us. “The boss made me do it.” Or, “I had no control over the situation.” It is one way to cope with the fact that our lives seem lost and out of control. But let us look at the Will of God factor.

 What is the Will of God? In most religious writings the will of God is love. It is goodness. It is all things positive. God is all good, all powerful and all beneficent. In the Bible Jesus gives us two commandments, “Love me as you love yourself and love others as you love me”. The new covenant is all about love.

So when you ask for the Will of God in your life are you not asking for love in all its manifested forms to come into your life? If a person is giving love, sharing love, being love with himself and all those around him it is there we see the Will of God in action. This is what we are called to do in the New Testament. In responding to God’s call for love we are joining with Him in co-creating the reality that He most wishes us to have. Goodness, abundance, joy, sharing and community.

If you take those new-age practitioners who speak about co-creating and put them together with the Will of God you would be co-creating the Will of God. So if they are speaking about co-creating love, joy, peace, abundance they are actually doing the Will of God. We can too. If we live our lives with love and work to help our brothers and sisters we are helping God bring His own Will to manifestation on this planet. Be the bearer of God’s love. Bring that love right into your own heart. That is the first commandment. Then share that love with everyone around you. Take time to listen, Share what you have. Smile at strangers. Help those who need the help you can provide. That is the second commandment.

It is said that for every kind deed you do that kindness will come back to you tenfold. If we all learned to co-create with God, imagine the peace, the joy and the bounty that would be ours. Instead of the world effecting us as we lay powerless under its throat hold we could take up the ageless call for love and effect the world around us. We would regain our power to make changes. We would realize our strength to bring joy and peace into our lives and even to Mother Earth. God shares His power with us and it is called love. With love all things are possible.

All Power Is Equal: Shamanic Truth Number One

Traditional Shamanic Explanation of the Shamanic truth that all power is equal.

TAKEN FROM THE CHAT TEACHINGS THAT SHAMAN MAGGIE OFFERS HER STUDENTS FOR FREE EACH WEEK.

I wanted to talk again on energies and power tonight as we did several weeks ago

we talked about how all power or energy is equal remember?

it is truth number three in Shamanism

can you look at just light without seeing dark too?

so tell me a power and the two sides it contains
anyone

I will give an example

if we look at electricity

it can light your house or start a forest fire right?

name another power and show us the two sides anyone

any others?

ok now where I want to go tonight is this

when one is using the power of electricity to light their house, where is the power to start a forest fire?

is it gone away?

but is that side of the power of electricity gone away?

and with water

it can give you a drink or drown you

so when you are drinking it what happens to its power to kill you?

does it go away somewhere?

its always there

where is that part of the power?

it is not manifested at that time is it?

so where does it go?

when I drink a water I don’t see the power it has to kill me

can we say that the other side of that power is not manifested at that time?

can we say that the power of water to kill is not manifested in that glass of water at that time?

see I am getting around to manifestation

OK so we all agree it is not manifested as a killer when we take a drink?

both sides of the water are there yes

but the one manifested is the one we see at the time, the one we are using right?

if we use the power of electricity to light our house then that is the side of electricity that is manifest at the time

does this make sense to everyone so I can go on?

ok good! feedback is good, I can’t see you shaking your heads in agreement or the question mark on your faces

we are talking about power in all its forms being equal
truth number three of shamanism

OK so we know that a power has different sides that make it up

and we know many powers that we can identify at least two sides a positive side and a negative side to that power

and here I am thinking more like the sides of a magnet

not about good and bad

and we said that the power has both sides all the time

but when we use that power for one purpose its latent side is unmanifest

for example when we use electricty to light our house, its power to burn down a forest is unmanifest but present at the time

OK I can go 3 ways here, I will try to do them all quickly

first of all, what if you want to manifest money because you are poor

what is the power you are calling into your life?

poverty and abundance are two sides of what power?

how about the power of obtaining

poverty would be the negative side of the power of obtaining

and abundance would be the positive side of obtaining

does that work for everyone?

poverty is stuck on the one end of obtaining

but prosperity is there too right?

it is just not manifest

so is there such a huge ocean between poverty and abundance?

they are the same power aren’t they!

I want to show you that you have the power of obtaining already in your possession

so it is just turning the poverty which is manifested into abundance which will then manifest and poverty will go unmanifest

never said it was easy

but once you get the concept you have the tool

is it easy to use water to drink?

is it easy to drown yourself in it?

both are easy

and you have the ability to use the power of water either way

second point about manifestation

when something is not manifest does it exist anyway?

if you are poor does abundance exist anyway

they are both parts of the power of obtaining aren’t they

OK there are so many things that are not manifest to us

but they do exist

when the shaman journeys to the inner worlds she or he sees all kinds of things that are not manifest

but they exist

I am often glad that they are not manifest in our physical world believe me!

it is realizing this truth

that you can begin to learn how to work with manifesting

I am just trying to teach you this truth

all the things the Shaman sees in the inner worlds are part of the power of the person whose inner worlds I go to, my own included

when I see the inner worlds of the client I see those parts of their power that are not manifested and parts that are manifested in their lives

so there is so much here that is not manifest that is important

and all power is equal, balanced, both positive and negative poles

so when we manifest something what are we doing?

bringing it into our physical world, right?

I teach awareness so that you learn to do this

we are not trying to create something out of nothing when we manifest

we are simply bringing the unmanifested side of a power up into manifestation

I have been reading a lot of metaphysical information on creation theories

yes that is what I do in my free time! LOL

and the big bang theory and many more do not take into account the power that is unmanifest

the scientists felt that if we can’t see it , it isn’t there

but for every proton there is one or more electrons

and for every positive pole energy there is an equal and opposite negative pole energy

it is the unmanifested charges and atoms and electrons

that they did not consider

and today it is proven that there are equal unmanifested quarks and neutrinos

like in a negative space

that have always been there too

so I am saying that the powers which have a positive and negative pole and which usually only one or the other is play at one time, are whole and equal even if we only see one side of them

do not discount the other pole

so what does this mean to us?

that everything has more than one side

that like the moon even though we can only see one side that does not mean there is not another side

we only see manifested the side that is being used

the lightning

the river

the lightbulb

the use of the power at the time

poverty

please learn to look at everything as a ball with a positive side and a negative side

you may only see one side of the ball at a time

but be aware of the other side

so people come at us angry

but they also have a happy side

people come at us mean

but they also have a gentle side

people look kind

but they also have a mean side

so rather than let our emotions take us where we should not go, how much better to see

that a Grizzly bear is a wonderful salmon catcher and can also swipe your arm off

it is not about judging

it is about being aware

how do we make the best choices?

by having all the facts!

right?

so often we do not have all the facts

we make the best choices we can with the facts we have

and then we get into all kinds of trouble because we find out later we didn’t have all the facts

or we had wrong facts

or somebody lied

so by being aware of all sides of all powers, and people are power, we can see what they are

it is awareness, practice awareness and work with little items until you get good at it,

work with people you know or hang around, look for all sides of their power

just observe

and eventually you will get good at it

I love to observe people!

each one is a unique power

each one has a unique combination of the basic powers of the human being

some more this some more that but a combination and each combination is unique

see what energies they are using and how they are using them

are they coming with their happy side?

are they really using their nasty side?

not to judge but my goodness, to be aware of what is going on eh?

ok last thing here I want to talk about is fear

what power is fear?

what is the opposite of fear? sometimes this is a good way to find a name for the power

so what is the opposite of fear?
courage!

there is not much evidence of courage in our lives anymore is there?

we don’t often get to fight a battle in the field anymore

or fight a bull

or do some couragious act.

have we gotten out of touch with courage?

do you think about your own courage?

do you have courage?

which is king in your life, fear or courage?

I would say that the power we have here is called ability

ability, to not do or to do

ability is the power and it can be fear which means to not do something, or it can be courage which means being able to do something

would this be fair to say?

anybody have a better power name for fear and courage?

it is about the power of ability, are you able?

if you are manifesting fear than no you are not able

if you are manifesting courage than yes you are able

right?

they are both with us all the time right?

it depends on which one is manfested

so just like poverty and abundance what can we do about fear?

ok now back to intent

how do we manifest something?

we manifest with our intent

what is intent?

it is a thought powered by emotion made deliberately on purpose,
a specific intention

we don’t just choose it, we manifest it

it becomes, no doubt about it

no doubt in your thought at all

it is not a wish or a desire

it is an intent

powered by emotion like love or excitement or anticipation

hopefully good emotions

although horrible emotions propel intents too

often terrible intents

so how do we bring courage into our lives?

how do we unmanifest fear and turn that ball around so that courage is manifest?

intend courage

yes

each power is like a ball

you are looking at one side of that ball

I want you to see all the sides of the ball

and then intend to manifest the side you wish to work with

all the time

and when we think of how many powers or balls there are in this world, like a million trillion, this will take some work eh?

each person is a ball unto themselves too

I guarantee you that as you do this work you will be much more in charge of your own life

this is a a difficult topic to teach by typing in one hour though! LOL

my guides really challenged me tonight!

The True Power of A Shaman

Being a Shaman is first and foremost  about letting your guides work through you, letting Creator work through you than it is about any other thing. If you ask the Peruvian Shaman where he gets his power to do those fantastic rituals and accomplish healing,  he will tell you that he lets the guides work through him. You can ask any traditional Shaman and they will all tell you that the power to heal does not come from themselves.

Will we ever become as powerful as our guides? That is like saying we want to be as powerful as Creator because our guides are direct emissaries of Creator. We will never, as long as we are living a human experience, know as much as these guides. So if we become like little children, which we truly are in terms of energy, and we take the hands of these benevolent uncles and aunts who love us more than we love ourselves. And we let them lead us by getting our own egos and pride and false sense of power out of the way, they can then use our hands and feet, our ability to be the human agent to another human, the one skill we do possess, and do miraculous healing work through us and with us and in us. Do you recognize this phrase from anywhere?

When I do healing ceremony I do not plan it out myself! I do not decide what to do or how or when! My guides do this and again I am just the little hands and feet, the one who is able to listen, the one who is connected in a very very intrinsic way, beyond the connection most humans have with Spirit and do what they suggest. It is always my free will choice.

And that is where people get in their own way and cannot do shamanic work. The power of the Shaman is in his ability to unite with Spirit. The power of Spirit is the healing. The Shaman has no healing power. No human has healing power. It is the connection, the oneness with Spirit that allows the healing power of Spirit to be brought forth to other humans.

There is no way that Spirit would just hand us the power tool without instructions or preparation or guidance or safety measures just as you would not hand a power tool to a seven year old boy and plug it in for him and walk away. You would never walk away from a 7 year old boy using a power tool no matter how much you educated him or saw to his safety. He is just not ready to operate that tool unattended. Neither are human beings. So we have guides.

So since you know that you are just a little blind child in a candy shop, it is your work to meet your guides and learn to be with them, to connect to them, to listen to them, to let them teach you and prepare you as a vessel for this healing power of Spirit. This is what I can teach you to do in the online course I offer at www.shamanelder.com It can take decades but you must be committed to the work. Stay the little child and have faith and obedience and trust and willingness and most of all determination to forge this incredible connection to Spirit so that you too can bring forth the healing of Spirit as the Shaman can. The Shaman is not powerful. The healing force of Spirit is powerful within the Shaman.

 

How Do I Protect Myself?

How Do I Protect Myself?

 

This great big world is made up of first and foremost energy. Every atom is a unit of energy. The wind is energy, water is energy, and people are made up of energy. All this energy is constantly moving, dynamic, traveling both within us and around us all the time. All the energy that Creator created is good energy. The energy that makes up your body at birth is all good energy. No wonder we fall in love looking at an infant. The energy of the trees is good energy. But there are negative energies here too. Pollution can be considered negative energy, negative thoughts create negative energy, and feelings of hatred or anger produce negative energy. So there is a lot of negative energy here, too. You may notice that Creator does not create negative energy but rather man creates it. Pollution, hate, war, famine, anger, worry, fears, greed are all examples of negative energy and all created by man. How much negative energy has been released in this world from ages past? Did it go somewhere or is it still here? Well it hasn’t been uncreated so I would say it is still here. Once something is created, well, there it is until man who creates it,  uncreates it. We don’t tend to focus on uncreating do we! How much of that negative energy has been transmuted through our intentions into positive energy? I think we could agree that there is more negative energy in this world than positive energy as we look around at the newspapers or our neighborhoods or our work places.

 

Now, there is no way that Creator didn’t know this would happen. It was Creator that gave all creations free will choice. And Creator knows that some humans would use their free will choice to create negative energy. In truth, I don’t know any human being who hasn’t created negative energy at some point in their lives. Well of course Creator knew this would happen. So Creator gave us a way to protect ourselves from all the negative energy floating here around us.

 

If you look at any picture of St Michael the Archangel you will see that he has both a sword and shield. Why would Creator give an angel a sword and shield? Because Creator knows that we would need protection! St Michael is known as a great protector. And what is his shield made of? What would Creator make his shield from? Well everything Creator creates is made of Creator’s own love. So this is a shield of love. And a sword of love too. What this is implying is that Creators own love is what protects us and defends us from the negative energies in this life experience. Of course we do not know the scope or fullness of this kind of love. It is not human love as we are familiar with. It is all that and more and if you want to perceive what it truly is you can do the work to gain those perceptions.

 

So we are given the free will choice to have a shield around us too just as St Michael has. I teach it as a bubble of protection.

 

 Visualize a bubble around your entire self; enclosing your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies, some people may see this bubble’s aura. The Yaqui call it the luminous egg. I see it as an egg bubble. Inside this bubble is Creator’s love and light and that is always with you as you are one with Creator. So picture this white light of love and peace all filling your egg bubble inside, more than you could ever use and it feels like home and love from Source Itself. Feels good!

 

Then on the outside of this egg bubble we will put a Teflon type material. Teflon is the strongest woven material in the world. It is woven micro fibers and this Teflon surface on your egg bubble filters out negative energy and only allows in positive loving energy. So now you have a natural strong filter around your bubble. By imagining it you are intending it and by intending it you make it so. Now all those errant energies out there, when they come zooming to wards you, the positive ones will come through the Teflon into your white light and add to it and the negative energies, nasty thought forms, pessimistic ideas and so forth will just bounce off the Teflon surface and continue on their way.

 

According to Don Juan the Yaqui shaman, we all have this luminous egg around us. Each  person is able to send energy out of his or her bubble into the universe. They may direct it with their thoughts and intentions to you or to their neighbor or to their spouse or to the universe at large. Just because someone sends out energy in the form of thoughts, words, actions, and intentions either positive or negative, doesn’t mean you have to catch it and let it in to affect you. Your bubble of protection allows you to filter out the negative and only accept the positive. Of course it is always your free will choice to allow in the negative. If you want to just be the catcher of all energies without this wonderful filter to assist you, then just forget about your bubble of protection! Then you can stand in the whirlwind of energies both positive and negative that 9 billion people are sending out of their bubbles. But I won’t go there! I love this gift from Creator and use it constantly.

 

Some people have asked me how I can pay attention to it constantly. They remember it in the morning and then forget about it as they go through their day. Suddenly they feel the whirlwind of energies around them and realize that they are not protected because they have forgotten their bubble. It is easy to pay attention to your bubble constantly.

 

You pay attention to where you are at all times, right? You know where you are. You know if you are at home or at work or on a bus or in your car. It doesn’t take much thought to pay attention to where you are at all times. So you can see, in the same way, it is easy to pay attention to the fact that you have this bubble of protection around you.

 

 If you had a mental dis-ease that made you forget where you are, how would that feel? Suddenly you would not know where you are. You would be lost, confused, upset, I am sure. To forget about your bubble of protection is the same thing. You are vulnerable to everything around you, confused. But just as you are constantly aware of where you are, so can you be constantly aware of your bubble of protection. Make it a function of your brain just as knowing where you are is a function you taught yourself to do. It will become automatic after a while. Are you breathing? Then attach your awareness of your bubble to your very breath! Train your mind to connect the awareness of your bubble to the same function that allows you to breathe. It only takes some awareness and practice before it becomes automatic for you to always pay attention to your bubble of protection.

 

No reason for us to be subjected to every single energy out here and there are zillions of them. Of course, if you create lots of negative energies with your thoughts, words and actions well you had better ask Source to clean out the inside of your egg bubble with that white light daily. But you will be protected against anything negative out here whizzing by very easily in this way. And lets try to be agents of creating positive energy in this world. Lets deliberately choose to think positive thoughts, to say positive words to make positive actions because this is how you create positive energy.

Cathcing Up With Your Life

Welcome to the river of life! You have an inner tube to float along in. It is yours and will never be taken away from you. Float with me down this river of life. We can't see where the river is going, we can't see around the next bend, but look there over you head, grab that fruit off the overhanging branch and taste the gifts of the river. There are many more branches with all kinds of delicacies here in the river.   Look at all those who float along with us! Honest people, healers, good people who want to float here and experience life and live their lives to the fullest.   Here comes a boulder in the water. You will just float around it, don't worry about the obstacles, they come and they go but you are in your inner tube and always safe.   The river is quickening now. People are saying there are rapids up ahead. Some people are trying to climb out of the river. Look at them holding on to the boulders. Clinging to them, fighting against the water. Some are scrambling up the river banks standing still watching the river of life go by them. They look sad don't they, and scared to ride this river.   But we are not scared! We go through the rapids like a great Disneyland adventure! We come out the other side just fine even if we got a little wet and we see more gifts hanging on branches over the water we can easily reach. The people on the river banks can't reach these gifts from there. They must get back into the river if they want these gifts. Lets holler to them! "Come on! The water is fine! You are safe here! You belong here! We will be with you! Come on in!" Maybe one will come out of his or her rut, back to living life and we will be happy about that.   I hear the rushing of a water fall, do you? Oh boy, hang on! This will be a big adventure! Swoosh! Over we go tumbling around and bobbing back up, laughing and quite wet indeed! What an adventure that was! We are safe throughout this ride and we know it, no matter what happens.   We know there are more bends in the river but we don't know what they will bring. We know there are more boulders in the river but we know not to cling to them. We don't need to. We know other people are standing on the river banks too scared to travel this river of life freely the way we do. We feel sad that they can't do it. It is their choice.   We know that will be other branches along the river offering us precious gifts and we need to stay in the river to reach them.   Where does this river go? Eventually when our time has passed, it takes us to a golden sea where all the other souls can be found in peace and joy and harmony. I can't wait to get there myself! But we have to ride the river until we get there. So in the meantime I am loving this inner tube, this river, this ride and experiencing it for all I am worth. I am glad you are here beside me!  Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls Copy right 2005 - 2008 All Rights Reserved Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls is one of America's most loved elder teachers of Shamanism for today's modern society.

We come out the other side just fine even if we got a little wet and we see more gifts hanging on branches over the water we can easily reach. The people on the river banks can't reach these gifts from there. They must get back into the river if they want these gifts. Lets holler to them! "Come on! The water is fine! You are safe here! You belong here! We will be with you! Come on in!" Maybe one will come out of his or her rut, back to living life and we will be happy about that.   I hear the rushing of a water fall, do you? Oh boy, hang on! This will be a big adventure! Swoosh! Over we go tumbling around and bobbing back up, laughing and quite wet indeed! What an adventure that was! We are safe throughout this ride and we know it, no matter what happens.   We know there are more bends in the river but we don't know what they will bring. We know there are more boulders in the river but we know not to cling to them. We don't need to. We know other people are standing on the river banks too scared to travel this river of life freely the way we do. We feel sad that they can't do it. It is their choice.   We know that will be other branches along the river offering us precious gifts and we need to stay in the river to reach them.   Where does this river go? Eventually when our time has passed, it takes us to a golden sea where all the other souls can be found in peace and joy and harmony. I can't wait to get there myself! But we have to ride the river until we get there. So in the meantime I am loving this inner tube, this river, this ride and experiencing it for all I am worth. I am glad you are here beside me!  Shaman Elder Maggie Copy right 2005 – 2008 All Rights reserved Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls is one of America's most loved elder teachers of Shamanism for today's modern society.

The Manifestation Machine. A Shamanic View

What you think does matter!  What you are thinking about is what you are attracting to you this very moment! What you are intending for yourself or for someone or something else around you is going to happen. And do you know why bad things more often than good things? Because we walk around this world with negative thoughts, fearful thoughts, anxious thoughts, worry, frets, cares and so that is what we are attracting to us.  Your thoughts and your words to yourself are so very powerful! Even the slightest whim that you do have an emotional feeling about is very likely going to manifest. You have the God given power to create in this life experience. You are here to create your own unique life experience. Creator gave you this gift and the free will to create whatever you want to create. You are an adult now and totally in control of what you are creating. Such power you have!  As children our parents controlled our lives as well as other authority figures. They chose what we would believe, how we would allow ourselves to be controlled by other people intentions and beliefs, how we should perceive. But now we are in control and we can choose to create anything we want with our intentions and what we choose to believe. Such freedom we have! – Yoda The problem is that we don’t accept this power in our lives as adults and we continue to let others control us is so many ways. Sure you have to follow the rules if you want to play someone else’s game. There are rules at work and rules for example of how to do the dishes. There are not many different ways to do the dishes. If you want to do the dishes you follow a program of rules to accomplish that. You choose to follow the program when you choose to do the dishes. There is nothing wrong with that. So what we are doing is agreeing to follow programs to accomplish certain things. At work there is a program you are expected to follow that they have set up for you. There is nothing wrong with agreeing to do this. But it is still your choice to follow that program and do that job.  Everything that you have an emotional feeling about becomes an intention. It will manifest in your life. An intention is a thought consciously that includes an emotional feeling. The thought is the car. The emotion is the gas. Together they will take you where you intend to go. But how many of our emotion packed thoughts do we have each day? What is the main thought with emotion in your life right now? Is it fear of losing your job? Then that is what you will manifest. Is it fear of lack of money or things in your life? Then that is what will manifest in your life. Do you see the power you have here? That emotion of fear or worry or lack is very powerful gas!  Are you worrying about future moments, imagining all that might occur with fear or lack? Then that is what you are manifesting. Are you thinking about the past remembering times of fear or worry or lack? Then that is what you are manifesting more of now. Get out of the past and future and live in the now fully. This is your moment to create. If you want to manifest beautiful things in your life you need to understand that positive emotions should be the gas you fill your tank with, not negative ones. How much time do you spend feeling good, happy, hopeful, excited about something you intend for yourself? No wonder that we manifest so many sorry things in our lives!  We need to dwell on the positive, not the negative. We can throw out our worries and fears and frets and dwell on good emotions and soon find that so many good things are beginning to manifest all around us. Love, peace, joy, contentment should be our driving emotions constantly. If we could just learn to have positive emotions all the time we would manifest that into our lives in so many ways and find ourselves being happy all the time because we are manifesting good things into our lives.  Don’t blame the boss or the spouse or the kids for what is manifest in your life. It is an inside job and you have the power to turn things around anytime you wish.  When we choose an intention we are setting what Don Juan Matus calls the “inexplicable forces” into work to bring that into manifestation in our lives. We don’t control the inexplicable forces. We simply push the button on this huge machine that chugs and churns out what we wish to manifest, in its own way. So when we choose an intention, we set into motion the wheels that will manifest that intention in whatever way the machine brings it to us. The inexplicable forces set into motion the circumstances and situations in your life to manifest that intent. It may be that people come into your life or leave your life. It may be that the conditions to move or change jobs are set into motion. If your intention is to learn patience, then situations and conditions that will teach you patience will come into your life. You may find yourself waiting, waiting, and waiting in all kinds of situations because you asked to learn patience.  The students in this course have pushed the button on the machine to learn about the powers of the Shaman and the tools of shamanism and so it is. The machine is cranking out the situations and conditions and experiences into your life to let you experience these things. Many of you have now found that you can indeed meet with your guides. Something you never intended before but now you have. You may have found that now you can access your inner senses much more easily because that is your intention now where it was never your intention before. You may find balance and peace in your lives now because you have intended to find balance in your lives, where you never intended this before. Those of you who have an emotional feeling about this course, a desire to learn this, an excitement to have this new experience in your lives are seeing these things become manifest in your lives faster and more beautifully than those students who are just reading the course but not intending to experience this for themselves.  Healing also works in the same way. Everything works in the same way. It is easy and always works. Those who have a positive emotional feeling about healing are pushing the button on that machine, setting those inexplicable forces into motion that will manifest healing in their lives. They have a positive anticipatory emotion about getting well. They are excited and really want to get well and by gosh they do get well! But those who are frightened, worried, fretting, or those who find some benefit in staying ill do not have this emotional gas in their car, this positive emotional feeling and so they are not getting well, at least not very fast because they don’t’ have any gas in their car. They may think they are setting an intention, pushing the button on the machine, but they don’t have the emotional feeling to get well in truth so no button is being pushed.  We push the button on this machine without even realizing we are doing it. We see something we desire and we have an emotional feeling about that desire and guess what? We just pushed the button on the machine. Suddenly the forces are at work bringing the conditions, circumstances, situations into our lives to attain that desire. How they are developed is out of our control. But now our lives have changed and we have this new set of circumstances or conditions that bring that desire into our lives. Did you really desire that thing or were you just desiring something that wasn’t really what you wanted, or good for you? But now here it is!  Many people have many desires. I want this and this and that and not that. Each one is pushing the button of the machine. I want is an emotional feeling. But in truth they didn’t really want it, or didn’t want it enough, or were not committed to having that thing but yet the machine is at work manifesting that condition situation or circumstance into their lives and soon they feel overwhelmed with situations they must experience now, situations they don’t like.  When we commit to an intention we are agreeing to get that intention in whatever way the inexplicable forces bring it to us. The machine will bring just what you intend. But it will bring it in its own way according to the universal laws, according to what is around you and what energies are in this world. We spin the wheel and we get what we intend. We just don’t control in what way we get it. So when you choose an intent you are agreeing to accept the manifestation of that intent in whatever way it is possible considering the conditions and energies around you at that time. You are responsible for your choices. You are agreeing to take the manifestation however it can be manifested at that time. (Hint: There is a time to push the button and a time not to push it!) Sometimes the energies and conditions are better than others for manifesting your intent. It’s much easier for the machine to manifest riches if you are in a position where riches are part of your belief system. Where having money is something you are comfortable with and can easily handle. A condition where having money is not seen by you as some kind of burden. “Oh, now I have to pay taxes on this money! Oh, now my relatives will all be knocking on my door trying to get loans from me. Oh, now the family will bug me to move to a nicer place. “ You see what kinds of emotions these thoughts are producing in you? Do you think that the machine will find the conditions and energies available to produce riches in your life in an easy way? Or will these thoughts produce negative energies and possibly some limits to the manifestation of the desire for riches?  Lets take another example. Lets say you wish to manifest peace in your life. So you feel positive about having peace in your life and you push the button on the machine and then you begin to notice that nothing around you is peaceful at all. The conditions have now begun to clear away any situations in your life that are not peaceful so that you can have peace. Yes the machine points out the weeds in your own life that are restricting you from having peace. The machine cuts the grass around your spiritual home and you can see where is good grass and where there are weeds. Now all you need to do to pluck out the weeds and you can have a nice grassy lawn. That is what you asked for. That is what you intended. Peace.  So all the situations in your life that are not peaceful are clearly shoved in your face to get rid of. See what I mean by, we push the button but how that intention is manifest is not up to us? Peace could also come to you by throwing you in a hospital for two weeks. Guess what? You have peace because no one is bugging you there. Peace could also come to you because a friend suddenly walks out of your life; a friend who didn’t know peace and didn’t encourage peace in your life. Suddenly boom, that friend is now gone and you have what you intended. Peace.  Did you get it the way you wanted to? Perhaps not. Maybe now you are upset because you lost this unpeaceful friend. Maybe what you really wanted was this friend and not peace in your life. Can you change your mind now? Well maybe yes and maybe no. But the real question is, why did you intend peace when you really didn’t want it?  So my point is to be sure that what you are intending is what you really want. You are going to get it. You are not going to control how you get it. So you better really want it under any circumstance no matter what.  And remember too that even a passing thought can be an intention if it has the gas of emotion behind it. Some people go through their day thinking,” Oh, if only I didn’t have to go to work today”. They push the button and then they can’t start their car. They call work and say they cannot come in. This makes them feel bad and embarrassed and limited. So they call the car repair and go through all the work to take the car to the repair shop and they feel miserable and they think, “Man I hate that job so much! They make me feel so bad whenever I can’t make it work. This is not my fault! I hate that job anyway.” And now the machine is at work making you lose your job. So you finally get home and think,  ” Well I have the day off now and I can get a lot of things done around the house. Yes that will be good!” And the machine brings all the things you have to do at home into manifestation for you and you are suddenly working like a dog trying to get things done at home. And you think “Boy, I wish my spouse and kids would pick up after themselves so I didn’t have to do all this work. Why are they such piggys!” And you push the button on the manifestation machine. And the kids come home from school and you are already angry with them and you shout at them and they are disobedient and unruly. And your spouse comes home and gruffly says, “Where’s dinner?” and you just blow up at your spouse. The family eats take out.  You see how this person created this day for himself or herself?  How do you create your day? How important is it to choose your thoughts deliberately? How important is it to realize that even what you think can push the buttons on this inexplicable force machine and manifest your thoughts into your day?  Lets see an example of a longer-range intention.  So you want a better job. You have the emotion behind this intention. Suddenly your job becomes harder for you. You have pushed the button to remove you from that job you are in. You find you no longer like this job even more than before. The people at work are acting differently. The job load increases. Well of course, because you have pushed the button to get a better job. Pretty soon you quit this job because it has become intolerable and you are looking in the want ads for another job. But there is nothing there you want. Or nothing there that suits you. You go to interviews but no one hires you. Why? Because you are intending a specific job. You are trying to control how the machine manifests your intention. But we cannot control how the machine manifests our intentions. Or maybe you really don’t want to work at all. If that is your intention then of course you are not going to find another job. Maybe you have negative feelings about working. Maybe you only want a certain kind of job. Maybe you don’t want to drive so far to that job or do that kind of work that the machine has manifested for you. Oh, now you don’t want what you have manifested. This happens all the time. We don’t want what the machine has manifested. We don’t want what we originally intended when we pushed that button. Whose fault is that?  So make sure that you really do want what you say you want. This is why we cannot allow our emotional bodies to run our lives. This is why we have to the captain of our own ship and not live according to “how does this make me feel”. If we live that way we are just pushing the button on the machine all willy nilly as our emotions sway to and fro all the time and we are manifesting all kinds of things that we had feeling for one minute and don’t have feeling for in the next moment. Yet they all become manifest in our lives. What a mess! And we wind up with the situations and conditions in our lives to fulfill our emotional desires of yesterday or last week but we don’t’ feel that way now. Yet the manifestation is here and we now get to deal with what our emotions chose to manifest last week. Yuk! So choose deliberately. Choose wisely. Realize that what you want is going to manifest in your life. And how it manifests is not up to you. All the chaos and difficulty in your life today is the result of what you chose to manifest at some point in your life. And most likely is the manifestation of an emotional desire, not a well thought out deliberate choice on your part.  We are in control here. You have the power to manifest anything in your life that does not go outside the energies and conditions that surround your life today. If you believed that you could just pack up and go live in Hawaii, you could do that. How that would manifest however is not in your control. You would have to be willing to work with the inexplicable forces and go along for the ride in any way to achieve that manifestation. It might mean moving away from people you care about, from the schools your kids love, from the money and income and job you are used to doing. Are you willing to do this? If not, then don’t intend this for yourself.  Sometimes the ways that the inexplicable forces manifest your intentions are so foreign to your way of life that you don’t’ even perceive that your manifested intention is right in front of you. Your desires for the status quo prevent you from seeing that the machine has produced that manifestation because you don’t really want that manifestation. So now you have not moved to Hawaii because the real conditions of moving away from the life you are familiar with, used to, are just out of your desire to perceive that manifestation. This is to intend something that you would never really want.  Yet the conditions and situations for that manifestation are all around you. Perhaps your friends are moving away from you. Maybe your family has an air of unhappiness that you cannot explain. Maybe your job is no longer a happy one. Maybe there are other problems and issues in your life now. But even though you put out the intention to move to Hawaii you have long forgotten about that intention and never really meant you would really want to move to Hawaii. You just wanted a vacation. But you pushed the button to move to Hawaii. And now you have loads of problems in your life and don’t know why. At this point you can always choose again. You can choose a new intention deliberately and find the words to phrase it simply and directly. That you want a happy life right where you are.  Be careful with what you think. Don’t let your mental body run your life because your emotional body is going to go through the ringer. Don’t let your emotional body run your life because you are going to find things manifesting that you no longer really want. You be the captain of your ship. That eternal you, that higher self you, is the captain of the four bodies. Choose things that benefit your spiritual self, your eternal self and understand that you are going to experience the manifestation of your intentions however they are manifested.  Sometimes it is better to intend nothing and just let life carry you along like the beautiful river it is. Experience life each day as an adventure and gain all you can from the adventure. See all you can. Perceive all you can, Take it all in and be glad for the ride. You are here to experience life, after all.  And if you are really, really brave you can intend what Creator intends for you. You can push the button on the machine to manifest what Creator wishes to manifest in your life. Again you cannot control how that will manifest. But it will be for your highest good. It may certainly not manifest into what you want for yourself. In fact, I can guarantee you that it will not be what you want for yourself emotionally or mentally or materially. And it may not seem easier or happier or richer and will not have more material things in store for you. It takes courage to align your intentions with Creators intentions for your life.  It takes a brave warrior who is wiling to go in whatever way Creator intends for them to go, if it means a new job or a more menial job or less money or a poorer neighborhood, or to let go of so many things you have worked hard on your own to attain, it might not be what you really want for you. So you have to think about this.  Creator is going to put you where you can do the most good in this world. Creator is going to put a Light in a dark place. So you can count on becoming that Light and being that Light in a dark place if you align your intentions with Creator. Are you brave enough to do this? Are you willing to give up what you desire for yourself, what makes you happy in your own ego, and choose to push the button to bring into your life what Creator intends for you? You can’t control how this will happen. So don’t push the button for this until you are committed to living your life this way. It will completely change your life. It will bring you the spiritual gifts but it will also take away the material pleasures.  There is nothing wrong with material pleasures. Creator does not insist that you align with Creator’s intentions. Creator gives you free will to create whatever you choose to create. My point here is that you are in the process of creating your own reality right now. You are pushing the button on the machine with your thoughts, desires, wishes and deliberate intentions, too. Be careful! It might be better to intend nothing at all.  You know the saying “be careful what you wish for, you might just get it?” I guarantee you will get it. But are you deliberately choosing what you wish for? Or are you just getting hammered with the conditions and situations that you have manifested without even realizing that you have manifested them? Shaman Elder Maggie Wahls Copyright 2008.
