Learn to Trust Your Misgivings, Not Your Anxiety

One of the hardest things for a 6 to do is to learn to tell the difference between their gut hunches and instincts (which are often insightful and correct), and the anxiousness of their own mind (which creates a mental haze of loud thought-confusion). If they can tap into this side of themselves, it will enable them to distinguish between a true threat that should be heeded and one that does not…

Four Steps for Shamanism in Daily Life

Rhonda McCrimmon is a prominent shamanic practitioner and founder of the Centre for Shamanism in Kirriemuir, Scotland. In a recent interview for the British daily newspaper, The Guardian, McCrimmon shared four practical ways to use shamanism in your everyday life:

1) Connect with the elements

Spend a few moments each day connecting with one of the four elements -- earth, air, fire, water. Notice details, like, is the wind gentle and what direction is it blowing in? Feel the water pass your lips when drinking, flow down your throat and enter your stomach while giving thanks for the nourishment it provides. Breathing crisp winter air with your eyes closed and feeling what emotions that brings up for you that can then be released on the out breath. Walking barefoot on grass and thinking of your ancestors walking the same way giving thanks for their life.

2) Listen to the beat

Try listening to steady drumbeats, breathing deeply and slowly for five to 10 minutes. Take time to notice how you felt during and afterwards -- this can be developed into shamanic journeying for yourself when you feel ready. This is good for regulating and de-stressing after a hard day.

3) Practice gratitude

Daily gratitude practice for the earth, the land and the ancestors. Gratitude is good for our body, mind, soul and community, and is great for lowering anxiety.

4) Get to know your guides

Invite your shamanic guides to make themselves known to you. A guide supports you in your life. Although your guides are always with you, whether you know them or not -- they might be an animal you see all the time or that you have an affinity with -- it can take time to build a relationship with them. You'll know you have met a guide when they appear in your mind unbidden and you feel them around you in difficult moments.

Top Skills Thursday: Cultural Competence

Did you know that learning cultural competence can also be accomplished through therapy? Cultural competence is the ability to understand cultures you weren’t raised in. It allows you to interact with people from varying cultures with empathy, understanding, and acceptance. Sound like a skill you don’t really need if you live somewhere that everyone has the same experiences you have? Well, don’t…

The Quiet Mind

The only way a 6 can grow is to learn to develop the quiet mind. How you bring yourself into balance is through developing your repressed center. 6s both have a disadvantage in that regard, due to all the lack of self-trust (thus we spin our wheels), and an advantage, because to become balanced, every type must first integrate their repressed center, and then their scrambled center… but for a 6,…

I hate taking selfies, but I wasn't feeling well enough to blowdry this morning, so I put up my hair to let it air dry. While I was brushing my teeth before bed, I thought to myself, "Aww, I look pretty..."

So here we are. :D

The Power Within: Reflections on Miyamoto Musashi’s Wisdom

In a world overflowing with self-help books, life coaches, and influencers telling us the “secrets” to success, a 17th-century Japanese swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi, has an enduring wisdom that cuts through the noise. He once said, “There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within. Everything exists. Seek…
