more on wildlife in great barrington

suddenly, like so fast, two deer come running and charging across our path from the open fence doors on the farm field to the left.
the deer are running like crazy as fast they possibly can to get across the street and over to the wooded graze on the right... the sheep in the distance are sooooo loud..... baaaahhh!!!!!
something is happening ... within the animal field of perception... had we actually lived near the animals, it would only be a matter of time before we could probably have known what was causing such a chorus of baahing and excitement.

i look over to the left sensing more animals to come forth. and sure enough, an adorable entourage of 6 younger deer, wanting to cross in front of us as did their leaders, but they were too frightened of us humans, so they turned away from the road after a few moments taking in the situation, eventually deciding to run away in another direction. they will surely meet up with their parents or leaders later on...

always a sign when a wild animal is presented to us... with the deer we are looking at that kind of instinctive hesitancy, to avoid possible danger, and the need for protection in open fields........and to have allies.....

:)

so interesting is the contact with any wild life......

bird flight- wild life in great barrington

today,
driving to the stockbridge motors to see what is up with the brakes of my car...

it's early in the morning,

now a very very large bird, appears, it's so large it must be an eagle....?

s/he flies in front of my view, and low down,
flying low
and seriously right in front of my eyes,
how amazing is this?
s/he's so low i can see its wings and body from above,
the wings expanse goes from one end of the road to the other,,,
and still flying straight ahead,

this bird is taking me for a wild ride ...and for what seems a very long time

and then,
s/he curves up and flies up towards the South....

shamanism

Recently attended an intense and powerful course on shamanic healing.
there were 140 people there. Mostly Body Workers. And small business owners, computer Techies, Psychotherapists, and Medical Doctors and Nurses, and Care providers and Dancers too.

also other shamans who were there to demonstrate and teach the training. Alberto Villoldo led the coursework. He is an anthropologist and psychotherapist and author of quite a few books on Shamanism. What i like about this approach is that the once secretive nature of shamanic healing is now freely available. The new shamans are going to emerge from the West we are told.


The sessions, which are called Healing the Light Body, or doing Illuminations, when they are experienced, are for me profound. The system goes into the deepest places and it's so deeply restful and healing.

We were initiated into a Shamanic tradition, from Peru, Inka lineage.
We are encouraged to practice the healing of the light body with at least 12 other people to develop our newly inspired healing skills.

what i am keeping open to is the possibility to combine shamanic healing with shamanic astrology.....

we see what happens.....
