While responding to a friend of mine, it got me thinking of all of the negative commentary I've read on the internet about healing, shamanism, spirituality, and Quan-Yin. I am floored at the hypocrisies and misinformation that I've read out there. I post this not to defend myself, but to offer perhaps a different perspective.
For example - "anyone who calls themselves (fill in the blank) is not a (fill in the blank) because if they were they wouldn't call themselves that. The (fill in the blank) is not concerned with ego." First of all- how would you know?! Are you one? Secondly- who are you to judge the spirituality of another? How is it that you think that you know more than the spirits that are teaching that individual right now? God does not exist in a book or a religion - because no god ever wrote any books- people have. Therefore any interpretation of such matters is simply either the opinion or the experience of an individual. There are "rules" in certain doctrine, yes, but again people wrote them. PEOPLE wrote them. Suppose they were direct words from a god, any psychic will tell you that no information that they receive is ever %100 because the process of channeling is always filtered through a human. And if we are not talking about God, then what difference does it make anyway? All the rules are out the window when you are talking about following a philosophy or doctrine that isn't god based- they become guidelines.
No matter what we call ourselves we are always a student to a higher power. I don't call myself shaman chitta because I have a big ego. I use my name shaman chitta because it is what Quan-Yin gave to me, I feel honored that she would even speak to me let alone name me. Everything that she has taught me I have been able to verify through hours of research, pouring over text and books. If someone wants to take up argument with Quan-Yin - be my guest, but I think there are other more positive ways to use our energies.
Quan-Yin is just one of my guides, though she is my main source of information. My great-great grandmother was a native american high priestess. All of the information about her and her life has been destroyed. I knew nothing about her until about a month ago because it wasn't talked about in my family. What I do know is that for years I have dreamt of her, and she has given me feathers in my sleep, and there have been ceremonies in which I have participated in with her. These are the kinds of things I am talking about - I had no knowledge of who this woman was, or that she even existed, and now I know and these things further confirm that I do indeed channel great teachers. For whatever reason, they have picked me, I have embraced it. I certainly can't get their messages to the others if I am to keep quiet about it in fear that someone might think I have an ego problem.
My healing powers are very intuitive, I have read about some shamanistic practices that are much different than mine- for example native american indians. The truth is there are many different kinds of shamans from many walks of life throughout history and time. There is no one right way, each individual brings their own gifts and abilities to this life. The healing that I do is more emotional, and it works with the heart and mind -though it can be physical as well, or both.
Being a medium I am able to connect with the passed loved ones of others, and uniting spirit with physical I heal the living in a very deep powerful way because they realize that if the body dies, that doesn't mean the spirit does. This is a life altering experience that can expand a persons mind into new levels of consciousness, I recently shared this with my own mother. My mother is fundamentally a different person now than she was before I gave her a reading, as are some that choose to sit with me. The spirits are very good at telling me very specific information about these people that I have no way of knowing - to verify to those people that they are indeed speaking to their loved one. Being a gateway to the spiritual realm and using those abilities to bring healing to another is what a shaman is- there are no addendum's like - it has to be done this way, they have to be native american, so and so fourth.
I think people who pass judgment on others are themselves being arrogant in the very act of trying to do a good thing. I will boldly say there is no human being who can justly judge another persons ways to spirituality or the teachers that are guiding them and if you find yourself in that mindset, perhaps you need to try and get your mind someplace else. There can be no harm in healing, only harm in impeding.
