SOUL SCHOOL: A
SHAMANIC MYSTERY SCHOOL
Basic Soul School - The Four
Directions
Advanced Soul School - The Center
There are two rules of
the road when you are traveling on a journey
of personal transformation:
|
RULE #1:
Know Thyself. –Ancient Greek Philosophy
RULE #2:
To thine own self be true. –Shakespeare,
Hamlet |
The only thing we can
take with us out of this lifetime is the
knowledge and wisdom that our soul acquires.
So any gain we make in knowing ourselves
will stay with us.
Can you answer this
series of questions associated with
self-knowledge?
-
Who am I?
-
Where do I come from?
-
Where am I going?
-
What is my purpose?
-
What are my gifts?
I have created a
curriculum to help you discover answers to these questions and
put it in a structure. Soul School: A Shamanic Mystery School is
designed to be your Wheel to Fortune. In Soul School, you will
complete the 4 steps to finding your authentic Self and then
empowering that Self:
|
1. Know
Yourself:
-
Discover who you are.
-
Learn all you can about yourself.
-
Trawl your subconscious for hidden
memories.
-
Heal past pain and trauma.
|
3. Be
Yourself:
|
|
2. Love
Yourself:
|
4.Share
Yourself:
|
Each one of us is
a prize from the Universe to our Self and
from our Self to the Universe. Each one of
us has a unique gift to give. By increasing
self-love and improving self-respect, your
energetic vibration increases to a level
that allows you to manifest your heart’s
desires with ease.
What we see when we look in the mirror is
what the world reflects back to us. We get
what we believe we deserve. When we believe
we are not good enough or deserve what we
want, we block the flow of abundance,
prosperity, and love. The more we love
ourselves the more of our dreams we can
manifest.
Soul School is a journey of personal
transformation that clears past wounds to
create the world you always desired. It
helps you to develop the gifts that are
unique to you so that you can activate them
at their fullest power. Soul School assists
you in healing old wounds, canceling
outdated vows and contracts, and creating a
luminous energy body.
You may be seeking that treasure chest full
of Peace, Empowerment, Energy, Health,
Creativity, Prosperity, Spirituality, and
Love. However, through your journey around
the wheel in Soul School, you will find that
you are the treasure in
the chest!
  
MYSTERY SCHOOLS
A
mystery school is
a university for the soul, a school for the
study of spiritual concepts from various
sources. Many of the subjects taught in a
mystery school are esoteric because they
have not been shared in Western mainstream
schooling. And the mystery schools were
named as such because members were sworn to
secrecy about the rites and inner teachings
of the schools.
A mystery school
is not a religion but a place of study and
practice. Mystery school is not about dogma
or central authority figures. Each student
is encouraged to be self-referencing, i.e.
sourcing from their higher self and their
personal spirit guides.
One of mystery
schools’ primary duties is to serve the
Light and keep the ancient knowledge alive.
Because of the massive shifts in energy
occurring on Earth today and the critical
need to raise the consciousness of the
planets' inhabitants, mystery schools are
releasing the ancient teachings for first
time to the public.
MEDICINE WHEELS
The curriculum of
Soul School is based on the structure of the
medicine wheel. The Medicine Wheel
originated with the North American
indigenous tribes who called it also a
Medicine Hoop. Ancient indigenous medicine
wheels are circles of stone found in nature
found predominantly in the northwest US and
western Canada.
The original
purpose of the Medicine Wheel is obscure but
theories propose they were used for healing,
spiritual rituals, prayer, meditation, and
as physical connection points to the Spirit
World. Today, the Medicine Wheel is used to
provide a foundation for many different
cosmologies. Indeed, any concept can easily
be applied to this circular model. The most
common is the use of the cardinal
directions.
The Medicine
Wheel is a powerful ceremonial tool and the
basis for teaching and learning. It supports
the concept that all things are
interrelated. Medicine refers to anything
that promotes goodness or healing. Common
medicine can include plants, healing
techniques, teachings, and spirituality.
The round
aspect of the wheel makes it a natural
symbol of the circle of life. Life mirrors
the cycling of the seasons, the daily sun
rising, and the phases of the moon. Circular
living is the continuous cycle of life:
birth, death, and rebirth.
The medicine
wheel is a journey of self-empowerment. We
begin our journey in the South where we
release the stories and patterns that no
longer serve us. We learn to step out of
victimhood. In the West we clear our karmic
and ancestral pathways, healing our past and
future. We learn to use our power in
positive ways. In the North we become
self-referencing. We retrieve lost soul
parts that are reintegrated for wholeness.
In the East we experience soul flight and
connection to the stars. We learn to live
fully present in right relationship to
ourselves and to others. We become the
creator of our Universe.
|
"When you
begin to feel you are a
spiritual being which, in fact,
you are, you begin to activate
the medicine wheel in your
life."
-Tony Ten Fingers,
Wanbli Nata'u, Oglala Lakota |

REIKI TRAINING & ATTUNEMENTS
Reiki is a combination of 2 Japanese words:
Rei
(higher knowledge, soul, or spiritual consciousness) and
Ki
(universal life force). Reiki is soul energy or
spiritually guided energy. All living things have life
energy in them but can become vulnerable to illness if
the life energy is low or if there is a block. The Reiki
practitioner is “attuned” to be the channel that guides
universal Reiki energy to the recipient. There is one
full day of training and an attunement for each of the
three Reiki levels.
There is one full day of training and an attunement for
each of the three Reiki levels. This class is available
in person only, either individually or in a group. A
comprehensive handout is given to each participant.
