SECTION 6: SHAMANISM AND EARTH WORK

Shamanism involves working with ‘non-ordinary’ states of consciousness and accessing information from the unconscious, plant, animal, and many other realms. Shamanic work often involves divination, which involves reading signs in the mundane realm in a less analytic way. It utilises the ‘mythic’ realm and honours pattern thinking, as well as the interconnectedness of all things. Shamanism holds these as key principles.

The mythic realm involves a quest with a symbolic landscape and weaving with signs and symbols to gain instruction and guidance, normally for the benefit and well-being of others or the collective. This weaving with symbols and meaning can also be seen to open up to the more subtle and less definable realms of the Dakini.

Societies all around the world have documented the existence of shamanism or similar ways of working, since ancient times.

Whilst the realms explored through shamanism are often symbolic and therefore are not Absolute Truth, the ability to view the world through a different lens and access different states of consciousness, lessens the grip that conditioned reality has upon us.

We have templates in lineages and modalities that are becoming more popular through what could be described as a ‘neo-shamanic’ resurgence. We could look at this as an optimistic sign, that on a collective level people are becoming attracted to working with these subtle realms, that there is something within us collectively driving us to try to unravel from this domination of just being in the mundane realm. Some tenets of shamanism can enable us, if we weave sufficiently with core concepts of Dharma and Natural Law, to help create conditions for a Golden Age.

We look at the mechanisms around where the dharma meets indigenous science that can create vital entry points for us to decondition from being so embroiled in samsaric ways of seeing, and that can helps us to open to the sort of consciousness and more receptive way of being that is required in order to become a dharma being and bodhisattva.

In these times, not all people find reading easy and it’s also a firm principle for Dharma STARS to offer teachings in oral transmission as well as text form.

Therefore, the Dakini Weaving book has also been made into fascinating transmissions that include much more anecdotal case studies from Padma Khandro and the wisdom keepers she’s woven with.

The transmissions are a more experiential way to tap into the consciousness field that we discuss in the book, a powerful multidimensional and quantum tool to activate your energy body to the higher vibration of these teachings.

It is common for students to experience multidimensional states when they receive some of the transmission. We encourage you to just receive at first because your multidimensional self is receiving its knowledge. To then ground the knowledge, we suggest you go through the transmission once more and take notes. So that you can really process the information and begin to apply yourself more authentically to this knowledge.

DAKINI WEAVING – KEYS TO THE GOLDEN AGE

In the first level of this life-changing course we look at Ancient knowledge systems and the Shambhala prophecy. We look at some of the areas of our current existence that create our world-view from a radical perspective. By offering a nano-shift we can actually start to create the conditions to be an Active Dreamer to help bring about a Golden Age.

Some of the themes of these transmissions are already popular, however there are unique insights provided by the dakini art form of weaving across the topics rather than looking at anything from a disconnected perspective. This means that even seasoned students in some of these topics or themes may find optimism and a new refreshed vantage point to further activate them in their planetary service.

'Age of Degeneration to the Golden Age' is a single module of our Dakini Weaving Training Level 1, a potent gateway for budding change makers, yogis and bodhisattvas who wish to gain holistic knowledge of the path to the Higher timeline and the Golden Age.
