One of the most basic skills you need to learn if you want to explore how shamanic practices can empower you and enhance your spiritual being and life, especially if you are looking for practical means of using spirituality to help you to be more successful or do any sort of practical magick, is Shamanic Praying. Praying in general, and especially shamanic prayer, is the oldest, most fundamental, and thus perhaps most important, and most practical spiritual practices there is, and so knowing the most conducive ways to do it can be one of the greatest things that will make you most successful in your spiritual practices. And shaman’s knew how to pray very well for they use a special prayer method in than that of most because it is more practically oriented, has physical, psychological as well as spiritual counterparts, is often health oriented, meditative, and usually is focused on conjuring up actual metaphysical forces and using them for practical purposes. These aspects make shamanic prayer a highly functional spiritual practice that is very effective, so for anyone who is looking to enhance their spirituality, I highly recommend that you check out these 4 Shamanic Prayer Templates that I, as a Shaman, use in my daily life spiritual practice.

Enlightenment is seen as the spiritual goal of most all religions. The attainment of the highest spiritual state of being and consciousness. Having your consciousness completely illuminated with light, so that you can see and know everything. Having a rapturous state of consciousness that is like that of god, or what is known as “The Godhead”. Of having divine knowledge, and divine bliss, and blessings, and the ability to share that with others here on earth.
Luckily in Buddhism they have devised what I like to call an entire “Map To Enlightenment” that teaches you exactly how to make your way up the mountain, step by step on your spiritual path of attainment.

Everyone has wants and needs in life, as well as things they do not want in life. And people want to be able to get what they do want, and not what they do not want. In fact being able to choose to get what you want and not what you don’t want is seen as one of the most fundamental inalienable human rights.
Why? Because that freedom to choose what happens to you goes right along with the fundamentally important human quality that we believe makes us human beings and gives us our humanity. What is that quality?

263What Is Shamanism Really?
The Most Mind Boggling Subject Fully Exposed Here…
Shamanism – What It Is: The Basics
To many people the word shaman is a stereotype which conjures vague images of an archaic and crude form of earth based magician. Oftentimes this word has dark connotations, ones of black magic or things relating to the underworld. Oftentimes people feel as though it is a native American title that most directly translates to “medicine man” or “witch doctor,” and refers to someone known for eccentricity, schizophrenic fits and other wild behavior who speaks of spirits and the spiritual realm in misty, ambiguous metaphors and far out aphorisms that don’t really apply or make sense to the rational mind of the average well grounded person.

Everyone is so deluded about what sexuality really is. We’re fed so much propaganda through our social conditioning that no one understands its true essence. And most people in the world live in a sex negative culture that makes them feel ashamed of their sexuality and like sex is wrong unless it is experienced within the very specific container society has deemed ok… Men are taught by other men that sex should just be about fucking, women are taught by other women that sex should just be about love, religious people are taught by religious authorities that sex should be about marriage…when are we going to be allowed to experience our sexuality naturally and freely for what it really is?

The following selection of inspirational, philosophical and spiritual poetry is taken from the first volume of my “Spirit Metamorphosis” book series, which is the documentation of my own spiritual journey of holistic personal development, and the revelations that occurred as my mental processes evolved through it. I have selected for you here some basic introductory poetry samples to give you just a taste of what you get in the books (which gets much more intellectually/spiritually deep and intense). Enjoy, and be sure to click the link below and stay tune for another posting of poetry samples in the future.

You may have noticed that I place a certain emphasis here in True Life Development on diet. You’ve probably seen the theme recurring as a focal point whenever I talk about health, which I talk about a lot. And yet this is something that people often seem to miss! No matter how much emphasis we health officials place on the food you put into your body…somehow the general population still misses out on the significance of our diet. And this importance does not just go for health, but for all things personal development and success oriented!

Understanding The 6 Aspects Of Suffering
And How To End It
Many people turn to self help because of the fact that their lives are not what they want it to be…and they are oftentimes experiencing some form of suffering. In fact this is the reason why Buddhism is one of the most popular and prosperous religions today (not that this is going to be a religious article). The truth is that suffering is a huge part of life, and is something that everyone has to deal with at some time or another. And (not) ironically it is something that motivates people to want to try to better themselves (so that they can put an end to their suffering).

There is a lot of controversy these days about Tobacco. It has been vilified because many people in the world are having adverse health effects because of it. And this is very unfortunate because this does not have to be the case. In actuality tobacco is a medicinal plant that has been misused and this causes misconceptions about it and how to use it. And of course when studies are done about tobacco by health professionals who wish to discourage its use, it is easy for them to make it seem unhealthy since it is being used in the wrong ways. And they even go as far as to say things such as “second hand smoke kills”, when in actuality they are testing second hand smoke in ways that would never kill in real life, because you would have to be inhaling it in an extreme manner that would in fact be worse than smoking (just like sitting in your garage with the car running inhaling its fumes), which no one would ever do. They give statistics about the thousands of chemicals that are used in tobacco, but most of which are not even naturally occurring in the tobacco. So the tobacco leaf itself is not the problem. Believe me, for as you know I am a long time health enthusiast, fitness freak, and holistic health practitioner and teacher. The issue is that Tobacco is a medicine and drug, and like any thing of that nature, using it wrong will make it unhealthy. But using it right is completely opposite.

Yoga, which means “Spiritual Practice” in Hinduism, practiced by Hindu devotee’s called “Yogi’s”. There is a form of it that has been trending for quite some time as a popular form of exercise And it is one of the most Ancient Sciences of Holistic Personal Development and Spirituality, having been practiced by the Hindu’s of India for thousands of years. The greatest purpose and highest goal of Yoga is attainment of higher states of being, empowerment, enlightenment, and what are called “boons” (meaning blessings/powers achieved through devotional spiritual practices), and even magick. These days, people generally only recognize “Hatha” Yoga, which is an important Yoga, but the truth is that that is just a preliminary to other greater Yoga’s. Hatha Yoga is the familiar type done with different stretching poses as you can see pictures of here, which is meant to conduct energies through the body and condition the body and prepare it for meditation and greater Yogas. However unfortunately even the way it is taught now excludes the energy work aspects and other spiritual aspects, and is entirely fitness based, which has rendered it no longer even true Hatha Yoga. All of the Sanskrit terminology has now been replaced with English words, which as any academic knows, without the proper cultural terminology, credibility is negated. And it has been even further corrupted by the fact that this adulterated form of it it has been turned into big business, wherein classes, retreats, and even “yoga certifications” are sold at high prices, and even new age “yoga clothes” are sold, which ironically are not the actual types of clothing that Yogi’s traditionally wore.

In Hawaiian Culture and it’s Shamanic tradition of “Huna” the concept of the “self” is viewed in a holistic manner. It is delineated into three different levels or layers which exist both respectively and in harmony with one another. This theory can greatly help one understand their personality and how they exist and function as human beings. So here I am going to be describing the 3 different “selves” of Huna Shamanism.
