A Shaman’s Song
© Barbara Snow 2009
I am your prayer.
I am your heart’s longing stepping from the shadows and showing itself in focused action. You call me when your soul is ready to take the next step, When you tire of the maze, the dead ends and turn arounds that are themselves part of your process. You call me to be sacred arms embracing your emergence, to hold around you the fertile void in which to shift and to hold open the doors to where you want to go. When you are ready to heal… when you see from the heightened elevation of your Holiest Self, you know I will hold the space around you sacred while your New Self finds its shape and learns the sound of its authentic voice. You begin healing the moment you call. Leave behind all that hinders. Welcome. Now hold on for The Wild Ride of Becoming |

Even our resistance to doing a practice shows us where we are unsure of our place in the universe and our connection to the Divine. What if we really try and nothing happens? Well, sometimes things happen best when we don’t “try” and sometimes showing up when we don’t feel like it produces profound results. There is no magic formula for growing. Practices like meditation, artistic practice, healthy lifestyle choices, gathering in sacred circle, and opening our hearts tend to produce predictable, powerful results.
