Summer Solstice: Being in Love (by Franco Santoro)

http://astore.amazon.co.uk/astroshamanis-21/detail/0761319859


As the Sun glides into the Summer Solstice on Tuesday, 21 June 2011 at 17.16 GMT, it reaches its climax in the northern hemisphere, marking the beginning of Summer.
This is the traditional time of ripeness, fullness and vitality. It is also a superlative time for connecting with others, being generous and expressing love.
All times are surely appropriate for love, yet the love involved here is perhaps more down-to-earth. It is the love we have for all those we genuinely cherish. Read more »

Summer Workshops in Italy

 


Assisi (Italy), 15-19 July 2011, Astroshamanic & Holistic Christian Summer Retreat - AstroshamanicHealing® Intensive.

This workshop takes place in the mountains of Assisi, birthplace of Saint Francis. Its primary focus is the healing connection between Earth and Heaven, body and spirit through astroshamanism, energy body work, sacred circle, Holistic Christianity and mindful leisure. We will experience how group and individual energy work can lead to profound luminous changes in the outer and inner environment.
In this workshop we use physical contact to foster expanded states of consciousness and sacred intimacy, promoting healing of deep collective wounds around our multidimensional nature and the connecton with the Divine. We will explore the multidimensional and holistic dynamics of sexual energy, aligning ourselves with the flow of life and opening up to new horizons of purpose and harmony.
Firm and clear group agreements are held at all times to create a safe space and participants are invited to set their own boundaries and do only what honors them and the other participants simultaneously
This retreat, held in English and Italian, can also be preceded by the Basic Workshop on AstroshamanicHealing® Touch in Jesi (Ancona, Italy) from 8 to 10 July 2011 (see: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=126267290778434)
The gathering can also be attended as part of the 12-Day Special Summer Italian Retreat (see: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=116436018433550).

Heaven & Hell: The Search for Meaning and Jurisdiction (by Franco Santoro)

We live in a world in which we are constantly exposed to huge amounts of information. Never in the whole of human history have we experienced a time such as this. In the past most people would refer only to limited sources of information. No internet, no television, no e-mails, no radio, no written material, apart from, in some cases, a religious text, such as the Bible or other scriptures. 
The fact that nowadays we have such superiority in accessing information does not necessarily mean that we get more understanding and meaning. On the contrary, what is more evident in these times is that the abundance of information appears to go together with a peak of scarcity in meaning. 
There is a thirst and hunger of meaning, for we spend more and more time in processing information, while not having space to find out what this information truly means.
Hence we continue to remain at a level of basic alphabetisation, a state of intellectual infancy which prevents us to express any meaning in our communications.
As soon as I try to get into the meaning, there it comes another piece of information, which I need to acquire from scratch, and the work starts all over again. As a result the part in me that is nourished by meaning starves. And unless I am connected with the part that lives through meaning, which is indeed my true self, my life loses all meaning, and I become like a robot. I simply go on living, making ends meet in a meaningless world.
The search for meaning is the primary quest on the path. It is shamanically associated with the Intent and the first stage. Meaning is also the central theme of the first lessons of A Course in Miracles, such as Lesson 1 (Nothing I see means anything), 10 (My thoughts do not mean anything), 11 (My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world), 12 (I am upset because I see a meaningless world), 13 (A meaningless world engenders fear) and 14 (God did not create a meaningless world), which is the preliminary conclusion upon which A Course in Miracles further builds up.

Consultations and AstroshamanicHealing® Sessions
How do they work and how to arrange them.
Sessions typically last 60 minutes and can be in-person or distant (over the phone or Skype).
A distance session is preceded by a preliminary astroshamanic exploration of the astrological chart pursued by the facilitator through a shamanic journey or other healing techniques. The session itself starts with a brief chat aimed at clarifying the intention or issue of the client, followed by a series of shamanic practices and a successive chat aimed at examining what emerged during the practice, identifying healing tools, receiving guidance, etc.
Each session is geared according to the current situation and intent of the client. The aim is to focus on prominent issues, both from an ordinary and multidimensional perspective, releasing grievances, while uncovering authentic talents and finding empowering guidance.
The session is also aimed at identifying a series of empowering and healing practices and remedies that the client can use for a certain amount of time (usually one month) in order to support and implement what has emerged during the session.
If the client finds it helpful, it is also possible to have additional sessions.
Fees for a in-person or distant session (60 minutes) are income related: Euro 50 or £ 45 (low), Euro 60 or £ 55 (medium), Euro 70 or £ 65 (high). Bursaries and concessions are available. Sessions are offered by Franco Santoro (in English, French, Italian and Spanish). If you wish to arrange a session, please contact: Franco Santoro  info@astroshamanism.org.

 

Shamanism without Borders and the Power of Community (by Astrid Gude)

Drawn back to the ancient landscapes of New Mexico, so full of light, sacred sites, indigenous spiritual wisdom and beauty, I attended the annual conference of the US American Society for Shamanic Practitioners in May this year. It was a four day event, held in a conference centre in the desert near Santa Fe, and  devoted to the theme of Shamanism without Borders and the Power of Community. Among the sixty participants there were just two practitioners from Europe, both based in Scotland, besides myself a woman working in Edinburgh who I had met previously in one of Franco's astroshamanic workshops at Findhorn.

My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose That’s newly sprung in June

 

This is the centre piece we used today (18 June 2011) for our workshop The Original Quest: An Astroshamanic Voyage through Time and Space, at the Findhorn Foundation, Cluny Hill College (Scotland).
We concluded the session with the words of Robert Burns' (1) song, "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose"
This song is devoted to you, beloved reader, and to the Red Rose that springs in the June of your life, on the eve of the Summer Solstice (see article at: http://astroshamanic.blogspot.com/2011/06/summer-solstice-being-in-love-by-franco.html).
See text below, followed by the song sung by Andy M. Stewart.

The Pollen Path

The month of June, encompassing both the astrological signs of Gemini and Cancer, have always been a favorite occasions for joyful unions, weddings and honey moons. As Spring begins to give way to Summer, the Sun and the Earth marry, Fire blesses the planet, shedding increased light and energy upon the physical environment and all its relationships.
This transition between spring and summer, as those who suffer from allergic rhinitis know, is the climax of pollination and the highlight of The Pollen Path. In some ancient myths this is the way of the heart of gods and men, expressing the intimate communion between the multidimensional realms and the mysteries of the Earth.
The Pollen Path is the journey towards the centre, the quest for God and true Love, a voyage thriving with divine beauty and ecstatic love, unconcerned of any final destination, and right in the present moment. Whatever you can best anticipate about the future is here and now, if only you are available to embrace it.

The truth is that our finest moments
are most likely to occur when we are feeling
deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled.
For it is only in such moments,
propelled by our discomfort,
that we are likely to step out of our ruts
and start searching for ...
different ways or truer answers.

GEMINI: The Sacred Art of Communication


With the entrance of the Sun in Gemini the cycle of the year confidently glides through its luminous path, embracing the gift of healing connections and sacred communication. Shamanic spirituality involves being, and learning to be, at one with all aspects of reality. It promotes the constant realisation that it is not possible to exist in isolation. 
The greatest human plague is the tragedy of separation, being unable to connect with others, failing to express our true feelings and understand those of others. This is biblically depicted by the story of the tower of Babel, when confusion of language occurred among people and mankind forgot how to speak from the heart.
While it is painful that we are frequently unable to openly communicate with others and vice versa, it is even more painful that we seem not to understand ourselves, and connect with who we truly are.

The Lovers - Gemini: Astroshamanic Voyage into the Tarot (by Franco Santoro)

 

For the introductory article to this series please click here.

 At first sight the Lovers, for most folks, tend to provide a delightful feeling, which is inevitably associated with love stories. Since such themes rank number one in mundane cartomancy or fortune-telling, this trump obviously enjoys a first-class reputation. Yet, despite its romantic correlations, the card emphasises transparency, innocence and sacredness in relationships of any kind, including those having nothing to do with conventional love affairs.
The quality of a pure and sanctified relationship is particularly portrayed in the Rider Waite Tarot. Here there is a Garden of Eden setting, a trinity, where a man and a woman, unveiled, are presided and blessed by the angel Raphael (associated with Air and Mercury) standing with open wings. The Sun is shining at the zenith, while in the bottom foreground stands a mount, and at the sides, behind the man and woman, the Tree of Life with twelve fruits and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil with the snake.

Highly Sensitive Person (HSP)

 

Highly sensitive person (HSP) is a term coined by Dr. Elaine N. Aron in 1996 for describing a person having the innate trait of high psychological sensitivity. These people, including about a fifth of the population, tend to process sensory data much more deeply and thoroughly due to a biological difference in their neurological system. For a test see: http://www.hsperson.com/pages/test.htm
A HSP can show most non-ordinary levels of sensitivity in the physiological, altered states of perception and multidimensional realms. These features are also identified in the New Age jargon as "Indigo Children", "Walk Ins", "Crystal Children" and other categories. From a holistic perspective a HSP may be a potential energy healer or shaman, with the function of retrieving fragmented soul parts and bridging the gap between the human separated reality and the web of life.

Be Who God Meant You to Be and You Will Set the World on Fire (Royal Wedding Sermon)

 

In front of an audience of around two billion viewers, Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, delivered a most inspiring and holistic sermon at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton on 29 April 2011. The first quote is by St Catherine of Siena, one of the two patron saints of Italy, together with Francis of Assisi. 29 April, the day of the Royal Wedding, is the festival day of St Catherine of Siena. It is also as close as the royal couple could technically get to Beltane, the ancient Celtic festival.
"At Beltane the King mated with the Earth Goddess in order to ensure the ongoing fertility of the land. In ritual, a man would be chosen to play the part of the King, the steward of the land, and a woman would play the part of the Earth Goddess, the soul of the land. Thus temporal power, physical work and responsibility are united with intuitive knowledge and spiritual understanding. This metaphorical union is found cross-culturally: in Buddhism we have the yolking of masculine and feminine described as that of skillful means and wisdom (upaya and prajna); in medieval alchemy we see it in the marriage of the Red King and the White Queen." 
(Lara Owen, http://planetaryenergies.net/2011/04/28/astrology-of-the-royal-wedding/)
Please find below the text of the sermon:
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
So said St Catherine of Siena whose festival day it is today.
Marriage is intended to be a way in which man and woman help each other to become what God meant each one to be, their deepest and truest selves.
