Your Truth Determines If You Walk This Path (Not Your Tooth)


Readers,

As a Priest in a Neo-Shamanic Order of Alchemists, often times I am challenged along this path and much of my practice and teaching faces strong tests of faith, courage, and trust. Recently my main student of the OSS 7 day training had an accident in which he chipped his tooth. 

 Now it's important to know that your subconscious thoughts (and some powerful conscious thoughts) affect your reality and all that comes into your life. So when I received a text message from my student who is very interested in this retreat that he may have to back out due to his dental work, I do what any great teacher with Coyote Medicine (aka Jackal Medicine in Africa) by taking the following perspectives: 
  1. What's this text really saying?
  2. Where is the fear based creation?
  3. Where's the breakthrough?
  4. How can I show compassion and still make a stand against this student's fear?
  5. What within myself is afraid to teach him?
  6. What ritual actions and prayers do I need to make in order to receive what I'm looking for and offer what's right to my students?

Followed by howling and barking at the Moon (j/k)

The lessons and challenges continue and I can't say that my ego is used to them, but I can tell you that I practice a path with much testing and opportunity for personal growth. So in many ways I am reminded on a daily basis that I walk with the Jackal and the Coyote as my guides. I am constantly learning about how our intentions morph and shape-shift as a way of teaching us.

This week I am grateful the challenges of the students and the preparations of the retreat. I will go on with this retreat and lovingly remind my students:

That it is the our "truth" that keeps us on the path, not our "tooth."

In' Lakech,

Yoga Swami and Encinitas History

Readers and Yoga Adventurers, Just recently called the Yoga Mecca of the USA, Encinitas CA and Yoga Swami (where I teach two days a week) are special and are a must visit for any yoga adventurers. See the article in the winter 2008 copy of the Encinitas magazine. http://www.encinitasmag.com/about.html Encinitas, Swami's Surf Spot, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia...can be consider spiritual vortex hotspots. This evident in the number of places to worship just on the coast (west of hwy 101) near the cliffside beachs or Swami's and Moonlight. So my mother's family (mexican americans) lived in Encinitas during the period of time when Paramahansa Yogananda (the Swami that Swami's is named after). This time period was about the 1930's- 1940's. At this time Encinitas, was well liked by Swami Yogananda and he settled there for sometime. Swami Yogananda was a capricorn and he was a very involved meditator and yoga practicioner. His foundation still exists in E...

Dreaming the Dark Times 3: Salvia and Mushrooms for Seers

  Salvia the diviner’s mint, is one of the most powerful psychedelics in the natural world. It along with Magic Mushrooms are used traditionally by Meso-American shamans (Mazatepec, Mazatec, Zapotec, etc) and my ancestors for purposes of healing and visions. Unequivocally, magic mushrooms which are containers of psilocin, psilocybin and baeocystin have been consumed by nearly all our ancestors including lighter skinned and nordic peoples. Salvia has only recently become a whole world phenomenon with many places banning it. Most western people take salvia as an extracted smoke, while most people in history chewed the leaves and burned them dried and unextracted. Salvia when taken orally as opposed to smoking seems to be the best focus of this article on dreaming. Some psychedelic effects are possible with this method especially if you are holding your saliva (spit) in your mouth for at least 20 minutes along with the herb or extract. Most of these are spiritual, central nervous syst...

Journey of Las Medicinas y Church of the Sacred Spiral

Dear Friends, Some of you joined us and many of you heard that last weekend we completed a beautiful series on the Magic Cactus with our Ethnobotany students. I held space along with some of my dearest friends and presented a series of Neo-Shamanic altars and rituals. The divine Earth we walked upon for our journey to healing was a blessed and sacred site that my family owns on the back side Palomar Mountain. As we got out of the city and into the country, I prayed for perfect weather and perfect community. Sunday throughout the ritual and the hiking that preceded said ritual, I was overwhelmed with GRACE for those who chose to stay behind and not attend this journey. I honored their path and allow them to continued to build trust in themselves and the medicine work and in nature and weather. When we arrived, the weather was perfect and mild and incredibly...there was rain everywhere except for where we hiked. All week and the day before, people were scared of bad weather and hard time...
