Shamanic Healing Songs in Portland, Oregon

I have a couple of exciting updates to share! (#2 feels like it’s building some big momentum!)

You may have noticed I haven’t been sending many emails lately. (Or maybe you didn’t, and that’s okay too.) I took August off from writing my usual storytelling-esque articles in part because I’ve been busy with client retreats, travel, and summer.

But there are two potent explorations that will be impacting my work moving forward as they continue to emerge:

New thing #1:

I applied for, and was accepted to, a year-long Rewilding Leadership and Community Resilience certification training program. The program begins in a couple of weeks, but I have already been in a potent process about how this will manifest in my life and my work. I am so excited to add these tools (including foraging, wildcrafting and other practical, hands-on skills) to my existing body of Shamanic work! I feel a deep power and rising anticipation and can’t wait to share more with you all.

New thing #2:

I have been leaning deeper into writing wisdom transmission and healing songs! I have long had a practice of singing in my Shamanic work, but this is a stronger emergence. I have received more than half of my songs by transmission through my mediumship practice, so it feels less like “writing” and more like someone singing the song in my ear and I just write it down. But I have also written a few songs as well, and it feels as though some kind of bardic wisdom activation is emerging. It evokes some kind of ancestral intelligence of passing wisdom down through song and oral transmission.

I have already had the honor of presenting some of these songs at festivals, retreats and to my clients in healing sessions, and people’s experience of these songs is very powerful. People report things like full body chills or vibration, powerful visions, spontaneous crying, chakra activations, seeing or sensing the presence of spirit beings, or even simply feelings of profound resonance.

It has honestly been kind of startling to have people come up to me for days afterwards at a festival, or at other events around town weeks after aforementioned festival, and ask where they can find my music online. I had never considered making professional recordings of my music. For me, my song practice has always lived under the umbrella of my Shamanic practice — those songs serve for healing within the context of the ceremony or session.

For now, these songs are not available anywhere online, but at the rate this is going, I may be starting a GoFundMe for an album soon so these songs can make their way out into the world beyond my immediate practice. Stay tuned!

Shamanic Journey in Portland, OR: What Are Galactic Healing and Wisdom Transmissions?

What are galactic healing and wisdom transmissions?

What are the codes, messages and frequencies we receive from the stars?

The answer to this question is as long as human history on Gaia.

We have a long and richly storied mythopoetic relationship with the celestial realms — tales of heavenly beings, omens and signs, visitations from astral civilizations.

There are temples, stone circles and monuments all over the world that are oriented to the stars and astrological alignments.

And of course, the practicalities of navigation, understanding of space and time, physics, math and more.

We’re not going to build a stone circle in my backyard at this upcoming Regulus Stargate event, but we will open an astral portal to receive wisdom and healing transmissions. At other Stargate events, people have received:

• Intense visions of colored light

• A deep sense of peace and relaxation that lasts for days

• Tingling, humming, vibration and body sensation

• Hearing words, messages and guidance

• Feeling restructuring or alignment in their energy bodies

• Feeling the presence of galactic beings

• Hearing songs or music

• Ideas and inspiration related to current projects or new endeavors

What galactic healing and wisdom transmission is waiting for you?

Portland, OR Shamanic Journey & Galactic Healing Transmission: Regulus Stargate

I know I’m not alone in feeling the super extra potent transformational energies moving through the collective field right now.

You feel it too, right? (Of course you do.)

Sometimes it feels like too much. I catch myself holding my breath, clenching my jaw and grappling with the sensation of these tremendously powerful frequencies bouncing around inside me like a pinball machine on steroids.

The pain. The fear. The grief. The chaotic eruption of collective trauma. The manipulation and distortion fields.

And then I root deeply into the etheric temple within myself, where I hold knowing and trust.

I remember the teachings on Universal Law and sovereignty from every single magical lineage I have studied.

And I remember my own cosmic origins, and the wisdom teachings of one of my greatest astral allies: the magical Royal star, Regulus.

And when I connect with this Regulus Star wisdom, I anchor into the ancient knowing of the mysteries of Universal Law and sovereignty. I remember that I came to Gaia to not only experience and enjoy this incarnate experience, but to serve the healing and remembrance of all beings here.

Are you ready to align with the cosmic frequencies of sovereignty, courage, and the healing potential of the magical Royal star, Regulus?

Do you sense the beckoning of your starfire origins, and want to connect more deeply with this ancient wisdom?

Can you feel a building sense of transformational power, and desire to collaborate with this extraordinary force in your life and for the benefit of Gaia?

Shamanic Dragon Healing Transmission

Remember a few weeks ago when I invited you to the 3rd annual Dragon Thunder summit?

Well, it went SO great and the replay of my talk is available!

(And by “my talk,” I mean the Sapphire Dragons offering a channeled transmission and a blessing through me as a medium.)

Just — wow. Channeling the Dragons is always very powerful, and this was no exception.

This transmission introduces the Sapphire Dragons and their unique lineage, aligned with the Sapphire Flame and the Blue Ray. Through my practice of incorporation mediumship, the Sapphire Dragons share teachings on the keys of creation through intuition, discernment, and the energetic feedback loop symbolized by the Ouroboros. They offer a blessing of the flame and speak of their connection to the Order of the Blue Rose, emphasizing integrity, truth, and creative power in co-creation with humanity.

I have received several emails from participants sharing their experience of this transmission with me (and a few people shared their “wows” on video). Here’s what a few of them had to say about this transmission:

“Michelle, I’d like to share with you what my experience was during your meditation. I felt the fire in both of my hands, and I felt like I was being told to connect the fire and to raise it up above my head, which is not what you were directing but what was being transmitted. [This is very funny to me because that was one of the things the Dragons showed me in my vision but did not state out loud, so this person received that message directly through the Dragon transmission!] That’s a gift, truly. You have a gift. The fact that your spirit can take another spirit there, that’s a gift. Not a lot of people have that.”

“I accepted the Flame, and as it poured over my hands, my body absorbed it. I could feel the flame flowing through my body, that at one time, I was totally immersed in this flame. I am carrying it now in this moment, firmly in my heart, upon which I share out into my torroidal field and expand into the universe every day during my meditation and lightwork with others.”

“I knew I had a block, I knew I didn’t want to remember the pain of humanity ending again, and hence setup a block to keep myself from seeing my past incarnations. It was during the transmission that I realized what the deep grief I was holding onto. My grief of humanity ending. The Dragons explained to me through your transmission that I was meant to see the endings, because I'm am a creator, I am one here to help rebirth humanity. I always have been and always will.”

Do you want to receive this channeled Dragon transmission? Here it is:

Shamanic Healing Retreat in Portland, Oregon

I saw an Instagram post this morning that brought up a surprising range of feelings: amusement, enjoyment, sadness and *facepalm.*

The post was by eco-activist drag queen Pattie Gonia, whose platform and content I enjoy and recommend. Here’s what she said in the reel (slightly paraphrased):

“Ever wanted to build your dream life, learn to live outdoors and become an expert healer overnight? Well, get your gardening boots on! Because this is The Sims, Enchanted by Nature. Want to be a fairy forager thriving in nature with seven cats? Done! A plant-based babe who only eats garden-grown smoothies? Here, you can, because babe, this is The Sims. It’s not a glitch, it’s a lifestyle. Be outdoorsy, be weird, be enchanting. Get lost in wonder with The Sims 4, Enchanted by Nature.”

What’s coming up for you?

I’ve got complicated feelings about it. But here’s the positive and optimistic side:

For people who aspire to a more outdoorsy, magical or nature-based lifestyle but may feel unsure of where to start or need a boost of inspiration, this could help be a nudge in that direction.

Maybe engaging with the imaginal realms to see a version of themselves who forages plants, grows a garden and lives in a fairy tree could help people feel more connected to nature, even if it comes through a virtual experience.

Actually, I probably would have loved this game as a kid. I never played The Sims but getting to create the most witchy, forest-dwelling version of myself would have been really fun.

At the same time, here’s the actual lived experience of my day yesterday:

• Walked in the forest with my dog

• Worked with wildcrafted oils I’m making from plants I foraged near my home

• Offered a powerful channeled transmission from the Sapphire Dragon Lineage to people all over the world at the 3rd annual International Dragon Thunder Summit

• Spent the evening and twilight hours in my backyard listening to two juvenile Great Horned Owls as they made hungry baby begging calls until their parents came to feed them

I’m living my feral forest witch era and loving it. It’s not a glitch, it’s a lifestyle!

I hope people who need a dose of nature, however they get it, enjoy this game. And I really hope no one thinks they’re going to become an expert healer overnight.

But if you want the actual, lived experience version of those things —

Develop Your Shamanic Intuition with Michelle Hawk in Portland, Oregon

I could hardly believe what I saw yesterday and I bet you’ll be blown away as well!

In terms of obvious signs and Shamanic omens, this one was flashing neon.

Here we go:

I was working on my computer for a few hours yesterday afternoon. My desk sits right in the window so I have a great view.

Around 4:30pm, I saw a massive bird fly by and land on the ground about 20 feet away. It was a Great Horned Owl!

It saw me move to look at it, so it stared at me through the window. We watched each other for a few moments, then it bent down to start eating something.

In the trees behind the owl, I saw a flash of bright yellow, and realized it was a male Western Tanager! These gorgeous birds are sunshine-yellow with neon red heads. I had seen one once a few weeks ago that flew by exactly at an auspicious moment to answer a question. This bird was flitting around in the trees, alarm calling at the owl.

The owl picked up its head and I saw it was eating a black snake. It was on the ground for about five minutes, alternating between eating the snake and pausing to look directly at me through the window. The tanager was in the background the whole time.

When it had finished eating, the owl flew up to sit on a low branch nearby. It eventually shuffled up the branch and out of view, so I went back to working (after sending excited voice notes and photos to a few witchy friends).

This is the part that made it even more incredible:

Then, around 6pm, the same Great Horned Owl flew down to the same area AGAIN and ate ANOTHER snake! (There was no tanager this time.)

I could hardly believe it. This felt like a once-in-a-blue-moon sighting that I saw TWICE within 90 minutes. (And of course I promptly sent all-caps follow up texts to witchy friends.)

The owl flew off out of view, but I could hear birds alarm calling out in the backyard so I knew it was still nearby. Athena and I went out shortly afterwards to look around, and we saw it fly off into the forest as we approached.

And while this is an incredible nature sighting/bird story —

For those of us who speak the language of Spirit, are attuned to the mysteries, receive Shamanic visions and magical transmissions, it’s so much more than that.

Visitations like this are always layered with meaning, inviting us to quiet our analytical minds, suspend disbelief and open ourselves to the infinite intelligence of the Universe.

Receiving communications from the natural world and the spirit realm has always been part of the Shamanic “job description,” as is interpreting them through meditation and reflection.

My Shamanic “great grandfather”, Joska, (my teacher’s teacher’s teacher) told stories of his training as a young boy, when people in the village would go to the Shaman (his teacher, Tamas) seeking help with questions. Tamas would pose the question to a large, very old birch tree, listen to the wind rustling through the leaves, and receive an answer. According to Joska, the answer always turned out to be true.

Listening to rustling leaves is a very old method of Shamanic communication. Some people receive messages from the wind or shapes in the fire. I receive many communications through animals, particularly birds. (And right at this moment, a Raven started calling outside, haha.)

These communications are available to anyone who learns how to receive them and can enter a trance state to open the channel of communication. (Even in the case of sudden, unexpected messengers like I received twice yesterday. I was immediately able to drop into a trance state and connect with the transmission.)

Are you called to develop your intuition? Are you ready to open yourself to receive powerful communications and transmissions from the spirit realm? Do you desire the skills to safely and effectively enter a deep trance state?

I help those called to the Shamanic path to activate their gifts and develop their skills so they can confidently heal themselves and facilitate powerful transformation for others.

If you’re ready to:

• Awaken your authentic gifts and inner knowing

• Release blockages, old structures and everything holding you back

• Develop powerful spiritual skills to transform your life and the world

Sirius Stargate Shamanic Journey Event in Portland, Oregon

And then I root deeply into the etheric temple within myself, where I hold knowing and trust.

I remember the teachings on Death and Rebirth from every single magical lineage I have studied.

And I remember my own cosmic origins, and the wisdom teachings of one of my greatest astral allies: the magical star, Sirius.

And when I connect with this Sirian Star wisdom, I anchor into the ancient knowing of the mysteries of destiny and immortality. I remember that I came to Gaia to not only experience and enjoy this incarnate experience, but to serve the healing and remembrance of all beings here.

Books About Shamanism from Michelle Hawk in Portland, Oregon

People often ask me for recommendations of books about Shamanism, so I thought I would share a roundup of my favorites with you.

… just kidding! I don’t have any favorite books *about* Shamanism. Here’s why:

Books *about* Shamanism are most often written from either an academic perspective (anthropological analysis, descriptions and observations of practices), or a how-to perspective (step by step instructions of how to “do” a Shamanic practice). In both cases, there is usually a strong flavor of intellectualizing, logicking, as well as a degree of separation that places the reader in the role of observer or recipe-follower.

Reading a book *about* Shamanism is like reading a book about how to learn to ride a bike. Maybe you would learn some interesting history and background about bikes and study the theory of physics. But it would be kind of useless to you in the practicality of actually riding a bike.

Reading a book about Shamanism might be intellectually interesting, but it’s kind of useless to you in practicality.

Shamanism as a practice is all about relationship. It’s about immediacy, intimacy and immersion.

Shamanism is an animistic practice (the belief that all things are alive and connected through that universal aliveness) and a mediumistic practice (active communication and relationship with the spiritual forces all around us).

A book can’t teach you about being in relationship with the life force in all things. A book won’t prepare you for what it feels like to connect with powerful spirits. You must experience those things directly to truly know and understand.

While I don’t have any favorite books *about* Shamanism, I do have some other recommendations:

When I was a child, my favorite books were all folktales about talking animals, magical plants, sacred springs of healing water, elemental spirits and deities. I loved stories where a young person went on some kind of journey or quest, and met wise allies to guide them on their path. The humans in these stories who showed disrespect or disregard for the wisdom of nature always suffered the consequences, and those humans who listened and respected the Earth and her children were supported.

I read creation myths such as How Raven Stole the Sun and the legend of Quetzalcoatl. I read stories of gods and goddesses from around the world, these personified forces of nature with magical powers and unique wisdoms. I read fictional stories set in our world about young people who lived closely in nature, such as Julie of the Wolves and My Side of the Mountain.

Stories and folktales like this help us access our own mythopoetic consciousness. They help us enter into the liminal spaces through imagination, beyond the confines of logic. They help us readily accept a reality where animals talk and the unseen realms are very real. They teach us about principles of respect, right relation, and honoring the laws and wisdom of Earth and non-human consciousness. They teach us energetic dynamics of creation and destruction, destiny and sovereignty, agreements and contracts, death and rebirth, wounding and healing, wisdom, initiation and actualization.

These are all Shamanic principles.

This is the traditional style of wisdom transmission: storytelling and direct experience. Receiving wisdom teachings through stories invites us to imagine ourselves as the protagonist, to see ourselves in the myth, and opens the door to our subconscious wisdom and connection. And direct experience and contact with the mysteries is how we anchor that wisdom into our embodied consciousness.

So instead of reading books *about* Shamanism, I always invite people to go out in nature. Talk to the trees. Allow yourself to daydream and imagine. Read animistic folktales. And if you really want more information related to Shamanism and related topics, check out my podcast, Shaman Sister Sessions. There are currently 138 episodes full of great stuff. Find it on YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

And of course, if you’re interested in exploring Shamanism through receiving healing work or developing your own Shamanic practice, please reach out to me and we can talk about what kind of support is right for you: >>>Book a call with me here.

Why do I practice Shamanism?

Why do I practice Shamanism?

(And why you may want to, if you are called to it.)

I don’t practice Shamanism for my clients. I practice it first and foremost for Life.

I practice Shamanism because I love Life. By that I don’t only mean my life specifically, I mean capital-L Life itself. I love that Life exists.

I love that consciousness has manifested in the incarnate. I love that so many different bioforms have evolved over millennia to cooperate and live in concert with each other. I love that plants eat sunlight and trees sing to each other through the mycelial network. I love that elephant matriarchs remember for decades where to find water and pass this knowledge down to their daughters and granddaughters. I love the song of the red-winged blackbird. I love that hawthorn thorns eventually grow into branches, and what starts out as sharp and protective evolves into a flowering wand that bears abundant fruit.

I love that Life exists, and I am so grateful that I get to be a part of it.

I practice Shamanism to be awake in my life, to celebrate Life and to collaborate with this grand symphony of aliveness all around me every day.

I practice Shamanism as a student and steward of Life. I study the cycles. I study the darkness, hibernation and death. I study decay, rotting logs, and bones left after a cougar kill and scavenging coyotes. I study the explosion of budding flowers, eagles flirting, squirrels fortifying their nests. I study the rise and fall of the river. I study the movement of the stars and the planets, and the pattern of wheeling vultures.

I study Life so that I may collaborate with it, move in alignment with the flow of creation and be a harmonious contribution to something so, so much bigger than me: Spirit. The Great Unknowable. Thou. Life.

By studying Life, we learn its flow and rhythm. We learn what expands and supports and generates Life, and what contracts or restricts it. We learn to feel and collaborate with this flow of Life in our bodies, our health, our relationships, our daily experience. Healing and growth is the study and practice of Life-generating worldview and behaviors, and of course that offers a huge personal benefit to us.

But that’s only a tiny fraction of the whole. And the longer I practice Shamanism (now over 20 years), the more I feel absolutely certain that it’s not about us and our personal experience at all.

Something beautiful comes from de-centering the self. This inherently goes against all of the conditioning and foundation of modern, western culture (especially in the US) which is based on individualism and, to be brutally honest, this weird fetishization of selfishness. My rights. Look out for #1. Selfies. If it’s not on social media, it didn’t happen. Endless navel-gazing and pathologizing and self-diagnosing and therapizing and making it all about me, me, me.

How lonely. How small. How inherently blind.

But what happens when we de-center ourselves? What happens when we truly embrace that if I am sovereign, it means that all beings are sovereign? What happens when we remember that if I am a unique and special expression of consciousness, it means that all beings are unique and special expressions of consciousness? What happens when we believe that if I am devoted to cultivating life in myself, it means I am devoted to cultivating life for all beings? What happens when we make our Earthwalk into a prayer of gratitude and generosity to Life?

How connected we become. How expansive. How loving.

De-centering the Self helps us remember that consciousness is living itself through us. Life is living through us, just as it is living through all things. It helps us to take responsibility for what we are personally accountable for and to surrender burdens that do not belong to us. It helps us to be generous. It helps us to remember that we belong. You belong to Life, and Life loves you.

I practice Shamanism because I love Life, and I love that I get to be a part of Life, but even more than that, I want Life to thrive. I want so deeply with every part of my being to devote every day to honoring and advocating for the sovereignty of all beings. I am so excited to live in this world and cultivate relationships with forms of Life–people, plants, animals, mountains, elements–so that I can know Spirit in as many ways as possible. I practice Shamanism because I know truly that by devoting myself to Life, and collaborating with Life, and studying Life, it benefits me, and everyone around me, and all beings on Earth, and the Earth herself.

I practice Shamanism because it is the best way I know how to love myself, and you, and Thou, Life.

I cannot give you your why. I cannot make you fall in love with Life. I cannot give you the key that will make you excited to wake up every day and participate in this gorgeous symphony. That is for you to discover, if you haven’t already.

But I can help you learn how to listen. I can teach you Shamanic practices. I can guide you through Shamanic journeys, mediumship cultivation and help you connect with the spirits. I can give you the best tools that I know of to study Life, to awaken to your animistic consciousness and mediumistic gifts, to honor the spirits, to connect with something bigger than yourself.

Shamanism in the Modern, Western World. New Podcast Episode!

New Podcast Episode! Shaman Sister Sessions #138

Shamanism in the Modern, Western World

Practicing Shamanism in the modern, Western world is fraught with challenges:

Is it okay to practice Shamanism as a Western person?

What is the most integrous way of working with our Shamanic practices?

What is Shamanism asking us to confront in ourselves?

As modern, Western people working with Shamanism, we must consistently ask ourselves these questions (and more) to ensure our greatest integrity. Pursuing a Shamanic path is often at odds with Western culture of white supremacy, patriarchy and extractive entitlement. Practicing Shamanism in the modern, Western world means confronting our own conditioning and traumas (and those of our lineage), and rigorously living according to the values of Shamanic practice, including right relation with Gaia and with our spirit allies.

If you’re practicing or exploring Shamanism or even just exploring your spirituality, this episode is for you. Michelle and Katherine dive into their decades of Shamanic study and practice and share powerful insights and invitations for those walking the path of Shamanism in the modern, Western world.

What Is Shamanic Healing?

Did you see my big announcement from the other day?

In case you missed it, here it is: I am officially re-opening my Shamanic healing work.

(I never actually stopped doing it, but I wasn’t specifically inviting people to do that work. Shamanic healing has always been a part of my practice because it’s what got me started on this path 22 years ago. But after primarily focusing on offering training and mentorship for the past 8 years, my guidance is very loudly telling me to officially re-open the healing crucible.)

You might be wondering:

What is Shamanic Healing? Do I need it?

New clients sometimes ask, “What do you do in Shamanic healing sessions?”

There is no standard answer to that because every client is on a unique healing journey. I draw upon a vast array of tools, techniques and decades of training to support each client in their individual journey. Here are some common themes and Shamanic healing techniques that I utilize in my sessions.

Shamanic Healing sessions may include:

• Energy clearing, blockage removal, emotional liberation

• Past life healing, karmic clearing, soul contract and Akashic record work

• Ancestral and lineage healing

• Soul retrieval

• Shamanic extraction

• Psychic surgery

• Intuitive mediumship, messages and transmissions from spirit guides

• Wisdom retrieval, energetic upgrades, etheric code transmissions

• Sound healing, chanting and healing songs

• Breathwork, somatic and movement practices

• Nervous system regulation, trauma release

• Grounding, energetic cultivation, nourishment and radiance practices

• Protection and boundaries

• Personal healing ritual and ceremony

In the words of one recent Shamanic healing client:

“After years of feeling disconnected, Michelle helped me awaken to myself and Spirit more deeply. She is a masterful healer who, with grace and intuition, guided me through old blockages and reconnected me to my passion and purpose. I feel alive again—more whole, more me. I am deeply grateful for Michelle’s love and care during these powerful healing sessions.”

Shamanic Healing 3-session packages are available now. The regular rate is $ 1200 but I am offering a $ 100 discount if you schedule a consultation before May 8. (A consultation is required to assess your healing needs before beginning intensive sessions.) Sessions take place in person near Portland, Oregon or online anywhere worldwide.

Book your Shamanic Healing consultation here.

Q: Why is a consultation required to book Shamanic healing sessions?

A: I personally interview all potential clients to make sure we are a great fit to work together. A consultation gives me the opportunity to assess your healing needs so I can offer the best support for your path. If for any reason I believe another practitioner or offering would be a better fit for you, I will make a recommendation or referral accordingly.

Many blessings,

Michelle Hawk

Shamanic Healing Sessions in Portland, OR with Michelle Hawk

“If you’re well, you have 100 problems.

If you’re not well, you only have 1 problem.”

So many people in our community are profoundly unwell.

And I mean unwell on every level: Physical ailments such as chronic pain, insomnia and autoimmune conditions. Epidemic levels of mental health disorders, anxiety and depression. Emotional pain and dysregulation. And of course, spiritual trauma, karmic reckoning and dark night of the soul initiations.

Oooouuuuch. We are collectively participating in a brutal healing curve.

Which is what brings me to my big announcement:

I am officially re-opening my Shamanic healing work.

Because you, my community, have been asking for it.

Because I see how needed it is right now.

Because so many people are in so much pain, healing deep soul fractures that ripple out to negatively impact their health, their relationships, their sense of safety and stability, their ability to work, their sense of purpose, and everything else in their lives.

You might be wondering, “Do I need Shamanic healing work? How do I know if this is right for me?”

Shamanic Healing work is for you if:

• You are going through a deep personal healing journey. You want support with trauma healing and nervous system regulation, relationship challenges, childhood wounds, beliefs and conditioning, or physical symptoms that “don’t make sense.”

• You are ready to release blockages, clear trapped energies and get rid of everything that’s holding you back.

• You want to reconcile ancestral and karmic wounds in order to heal and clear karma and rewrite soul contracts and patterns.

• You want support with soul retrieval, integrating the wisdom and lessons of past lives and coming into full expression of your Higher Self knowing.

• You feel the presence of spirit guides and you know you are going through powerful spiritual initiations. You want help anchoring the codes and transmissions that you are receiving so you can integrate and live them fully.

• You feel stuck or blocked in your continued development, disconnected from your purpose or like you’ve reached a plateau, and you’re looking for some fresh energy and perspective to help you renew your transformation and growth.

• You are going through a big life transformation and you want practical support to help you process, stay grounded and feel present/connected to your inner wisdom through the transition.

• You want support from a grounded spiritual healer / mentor who has been on this path for a long time, who can help you see what you might be missing and give you specific tools, guidance and healing support that is aligned for you as you grow and transform.

In the words of one recent Shamanic healing client:

“After years of feeling disconnected, Michelle helped me awaken to myself and Spirit more deeply. She is a masterful healer who, with grace and intuition, guided me through old blockages and reconnected me to my passion and purpose. I feel alive again—more whole, more me. I am deeply grateful for Michelle’s love and care during these powerful healing sessions.”

What Is Shamanism?

What is Shamanism? Where does Shamanism come from? What does the word “Shaman” mean?

Those called to healing and spiritual development often brush up against Shamanism but don't know how to contextualize it within their journey.

Michelle and Katherine get back to their Shamanic roots and explore some of the foundations of Shamanism as an animistic and mediumistic practice. They discuss some common misconceptions as well as some common ways in which people engage with Shamanic practice including utilizing trance and rituals, working with spirits, shamanic journeying, incorporated mediumship and being of service in their community.

Are you called to Shamanic practice? Are you going through a Shamanic awakening or cultivating your Shamanic skill development? Enjoy these powerful insights and invitation from the Shaman Sisters to guide you on your path.

Shamanic Healing with Owl Spirit in Portland, Oregon

5 Owls in 7 Days

Wowza, Owl is coming through strongly! You know that feeling when Spirit is practically slapping you in the face with a repeat message? Yeah, I thought so.

Ready for a story?

If you’ve been following my work for a while, you’ve already heard me tell the stories of an owl attacking me and offering me a deep medicine initiation. You’ve heard the story of my powerful dreams and visions with Owl, and how this healing energy comes through in my Shamanic healing work with clients. (If you haven’t heard those stories and you want to, check out the blog archives.)

Owl began getting my attention one evening last week, when I heard 2 (or possibly 3) Great Horned Owls calling back and forth for 15 minutes straight. They were somewhere close by in the forest in front of my house near Portland, OR. At the time, I just enjoyed it and didn’t tune in more deeply.

Two days later, I was driving home after offering an Alchemy teaching/wisdom transmission, and suddenly a massive owl flew right over my car on the dark highway. I swerved slightly and recovered, but then forgot about it (until this morning).

Yesterday morning, Athena and I were hiking in the forest near our home and we walked right under a Great Horned Owl sitting on a low branch. I only saw it because I turned around to look at Athena right as it took off, and landed slightly ahead of us on a higher branch. I paused by its tree and offered gratitude and appreciation. As I turned away to keep walking, it flew off.

This morning on my way home from the park with Athena, a Barred Owl flew right in front of my car (that’s when I remembered the owl that flew over my car a few nights ago).

Message received. It was time to journey with Owl and see why Spirit was trying to get my attention.

So this morning I journeyed with Owl. And as Owl medicine does, it brought my attention to some things that are uncomfortable for me to see, but that hold the opportunity for profound healing. Owl offered guidance related to one of my current growth edges and helped me see where I have been resistant. And as Owl medicine always reminds me, “It is safe to see in the darkness.”

I received some powerful messages and healing transmissions that I’ll be reflecting on and integrating. Thank you, Owl!

Do you desire to connect with your spirit guides for healing and messages? Do you feel them trying to get your attention but you don’t know where to start?

Are you going through powerful spiritual initiations and healing portals?

Do you want help anchoring the codes and transmissions that you are receiving so you can integrate and live them fully?

Receive 3 Shamanic Healing sessions with me. I’ll help you connect with your guides, receive healing energies, messages and transmissions, and anchor them into your life.

Shamanic Ritual to Heal the Land

A sea of cut branches intermingles with mud churned up by colossal machines, the tracks of their tread gouging the earth in wide, deep scars.

The crowns of trees and poles deemed “too thin to be useful” spray in chaotic disorder as evidence of the careless destruction.

It is carnage.

But the part that truly makes my stomach turn are the three piles of logs left uncollected. Over 100 trees that were killed with the intent to harvest for lumber, but their bodies were simply left in a pile.

They killed more than they needed. And they left the rest to rot.

This is the scene currently in the forest near my home, after the loggers came through and “thinned” the woods in January and February. But this same disregard for Earth and right relationship with resources is playing out everywhere.

This is what happens when we live in a society with a deeply ingrained culture of scarcity consciousness, mindless consumption and instant gratification.

When we are removed from the cyclical flow of life, we forget where our resources come from.

When we engage with money as credit cards and digital bank accounts, we have no embodied relationship with true wealth.

When we can go to Home Depot and buy lumber for a home project, we forget the forest it came from.

We never walked through the woods and witnessed all the birds, deer and abundant life before the logging. We never watched the canopy shake and heard the ground shudder as a massive tree was felled. We never saw the piles of logs left over because someone cut first and calculated later.

Unnecessary destruction and loss of life.

Our relationship with abundance, fertility and embodied wealth goes beyond our personal healing: it is imperative for our collective healing and evolution of human consciousness.

The way our society (in general) lives without regard for Earth and right relationship with non-human life is completely unsustainable.

And it is deeply wounding all those who perpetuate that system, even if they don’t realize it.

Will you join me in a special healing event?

Instead of thoughtless consumption, we can celebrate life and the fertile creative power of this living temple planet.

When we offer our heartfelt prayers in devotion to life, we amplify this abundant aliveness in the world.

And through our heartfelt prayers for Earth, our own abundance is amplified.

This wisdom is rooted in very ancient principles of High Magic.

And I will be sharing some of these teachings in a special Beltane event on May 10.

Come offer healing to the land with your prayers.

Come amplify the abundant, radiant aliveness in the world, for the benefit of all beings and for the evolution of human consciousness.

Let us gather in devotion to serve life itself. Let us gather in devotion to allow these currents of abundant aliveness to flow through us and blossom in the world. Let us gather in devotion to offer, to be generous, to give freely.

Come join me.

Shamanic Past Life Wisdom Retrieval: I Remember Atlantis

I remember Atlantis.

I remember the fall most vividly, but I remember some of the circumstances and power struggles that lead up to the devastating end.

I remember soaring crystal pillars and smooth floors that hummed with power. I remember the beauty of the temples and the elegant architecture of precious stone.

I remember my studies as a young priestess, my growing awareness of different factions and philosophies, and the unease that grew as I progressed on my path of service.

I remember when I was initiated into the role of high priestess, my mentor counseled me to be very careful. She told me to remember the teachings I had received in the right use of power, and to use the influence of my position to protect the safety of my people.

I remember walking through a vast hallway when I was suddenly brought to my knees by discordant sounds screeching through my bones. I covered my ears in pain, but the sounds were inaudible vibrations ricocheting through me.

I got up and ran into a massive room with towering crystal columns and giant orbs that crackled and sparked. Something was very wrong. Two of my priestess sisters were already there, and the three of us took our places together to drop into a trance and assess what was wrong with the energetic architecture of the grid.

I felt it immediately. I saw where someone had tried to magnify an output of power from one of the generator stations, and the entire grid of Atlantis was fluctuating wildly as it tried to compensate for the imbalance.

I heard a deep cracking sound, and opened my eyes to see fractures running the entire length of the crystal columns, all the way up to the orbs at the top.

My heart broke. My sisters and I stood and raised our hands to try to offer what support we could in one final attempt to stabilize the grid. I remember singing cords of light into the glowing crystal pillars.

But the rumbling started, and soon after, the waters came crashing in, and Atlantis was no more.

——

This memory surfaced many years ago in the early days of my awakening. It served as an important part of me claiming my own power and integrating the remembered wisdom teachings from other incarnations into my current life and service.

And honestly, I had kind of forgotten about it until February, when I received a healing session from my Shaman mentor and it all came flooding back. (Along with a memory of the fall of ancient Sumer, but that’s another story.)

The heartbreak and despair I felt from the fall of Atlantis is rippling through the timeline to the heartbreak I feel watching the misuse of power and political upheaval now. I am once again a wisdom keeper who has pledged her life in spiritual service, and I am trying my best to support my community and protect the right balance of power to prevent the fall of another civilization.

It all feels a little too familiar.

But it also feels different.

This time feels different, because it’s not just a small group of wisdom keepers who are trying to hold the balance. This time, it’s much more out the in the open. The awareness of that imbalance is spreading, and more and more people are standing up to protect the right use of power.

I have lived many lifetimes of service in the mysteries. I’ve lived through the collapse of multiple ancient and powerful civilizations. Part of my practice has been to draw upon the experience of other incarnations and to integrate that knowledge, so I can move forward from the fully empowered wholeness of my eternal spirit and all the wisdom I have gained through all my lifetimes.

I am once again feeling some deep inner re-structuring, and it’s a bit uncomfortable, but also feels very powerful and clarifying.

And I know other people are remembering powerful mystery teachings, too.

This is a time when we are all being called upon to embody the knowledge not only of our current incarnations and the teachings we have received this time around, but to implement the hard-earned wisdom, codes and spiritual technology we carry from all of our many lifetimes.

I feel strongly that we are living through a very powerful portal, where we get to put this wisdom to work and achieve different outcomes than we have in the past.

But it requires courage, deep alignment and skillful application of this wisdom. It requires us to not only remember and feel the echos of our other incarnations, but to integrate the wisdom codes and transmute them into our empowered actions in this Earthwalk.

Friends — The mysteries are alive and asking to be remembered.

Maybe you've felt some recognition or knowing that doesn't make logical sense.

Maybe you've felt your bones hum like tuning forks when you hear the name of an ancient people.

Maybe you hear the whispers of your ancestors, and the lineage holders and wisdom keepers, beckoning you to listen, and feel, and remember.

What spiritual technology wants to awaken within you? What codes and mysteries are asking to come alive in your consciousness so they can once again serve in the world?

If you feel the call and resonance of this story and know that there is remembered wisdom awakening within you —

I am offering 1:1 support with Past Life Wisdom Retrieval.

If you’re ready to fully awaken and embody your inner knowing —

If you feel the remembrance of wisdom from other incarnations and you want to anchor it into this lifetime —

If you know that you are here to be a force of healing, transformation and creation in the world —

If you’re ready to master the spiritual technology, codes and mysteries that you’ve inherited from all your lifetimes —

A Shamanic Healing Prayer for Those Who Are Lost

This is a prayer for the liberation, belonging and connection of all beings everywhere.

This prayer is for all of those who are lost. All of those who are separated. All of those who hold the distorted identity and worldview of hierarchy and entitlement. All of those who are taking what does not belong to them and consuming resources without regard for generosity, reciprocity and right exchange.

This prayer is on behalf of all of those who are so far out of touch with themselves, with Earth, with what it means to truly be a part of Life.

May they remember that they belong to Life.

May they remember that they are children of this beautiful living temple planet.

May they remember that they are part of something infinitely larger than themselves.

May they receive the support that they need to heal the wounds and illusions of separation.

May they receive the righteous guidance and appropriate correction and instruction and justice to help rectify their mistakes.

May they open their hearts to feel compassion and empathy.

May they open themselves to experience wonder, curiosity and appreciation.

May their hearts be broken open in reverence to ife.

May their shadow identity structures crumble and fall away to be composted into fertile soil.

May all of that which is rooted in greed, cruelty, entitlement and fear be overtaken by rich green vines and wildflowers until the old architecture of pain looks like nothing but a verdant mound where birds build their nests and lizards bask in the sun.

And may all of those who are attuned to the wisdom of their hearts, attuned to empathy, holding deep reverence for Life and connected with the radiant power of truth and integrity, find strength inside themselves.

May they carry strength and resilience to take a stand for righteousness and integrity.

May they carry the courage to remain strong in the face of adversity, the courage to remain compassionate and to feel empathy in the face of heartbreak and outrage.

May we all take refuge in the knowledge that we belong to Life.

May you take comfort knowing that you belong to Life, and Life loves you.

This is my sincere prayer for the liberation, belonging and radiant aliveness of all beings everywhere.

I am committed to living this prayer every day and working every day to support this in the world.
