Powerful Stuff
Sometimes we receive confirmation from the most unexpected sources.
I’ve had occasion to meet and work with alchemist and sonic shaman (my description, not his) Peter May at Amadell a fair number of times over the past year or so.
One of the many fascinating avenues of reality that Peter explores entails working with plants and the elements to create tinctures and balms that facilitate internal balance, stability, and awareness (Windhorse Botanicals). He then works with a variety of universal resonances that are found throughout the natural world and then enhances the effects of these resonances on both the human body as well as our perceptions and states of being through the products he’s created.
While that may sound a bit technical, the proof is in the experience.
Cultivating Intuition
My most recent work with Peter had me focusing on cleansing and dissolving possible calcification of my pineal gland, which is located deep within the center of the brain. Historically, the pineal gland is also associated with (and possibly another name for) the third eye, or center of intuition. Just like almost everything worth having, if you don’t use your abilities you lose them.
With respect to my intuition, I think it’s safe to say that I was never completely cut off from mine. While my intellect was always accorded great priority and value, my intuition was neither vilified nor ridiculed. We (meaning my parents, primarily my mother, and I) may not have discussed it much, but I somehow always knew that there was something intangible but inherent within myself that works in tandem with my intellect.
Most Recent: Star Nectar
As I transitioned from working mainly as an attorney to working mainly as a shamanic practitioner, I’ve both consciously and unconsciously worked to cultivate my intuition. It truly is like a muscle that gets stronger and stronger the more you use it.
Which leads me to the most recent workshop of Peter’s that I attended at Amadell. (You can read the description for it here.) In conjunction with and as a result of the work we did that weekend, I have the small jar of Intuition Star Nectar pictured above, and have been working with it. One of the things I’ve done most often is swirl a small bit of it into my 3rdeye area (the center of the forehead).
A Sign
A day or so before Thanksgiving some wild and powerful winds swept through our area. You may recall I wrote about it here, and spoke of how our front door blew open as I was writing my post.
It turned out that a large ceramic owl I’d had for years blew off the porch that night.
I’m going to just let the image speak for itself. Something tells me this Intuition Star Nectar is pretty powerful stuff! I had to laugh when I saw the owl the next day. I don’t have the ‘heart’ to throw it away, even if it is, by many standards, ‘broken.’
To me, it symbolizes that my intuition is breaking wide open – and it is most definitely and intimately connected to my heart.
Something tells me that’s a good thing.
