Shamanic Practice And Feathers
| Posted on 15 May, 2017 at 3:48 |
Shamanic practice places great importance on
shamanic tools and a shaman’s sacred implements may be of many different kinds.
They many include plants, special stones, animal parts, drums, musical
instruments, masks, costumes and feathers. Feathers may be used as tools to ease us in to an
awakening of the whole self, used in prayer, or utilised for protection and
healing. Feathering can also be used in energy healing’s, such as cleansing the
auric field by sweeping a bird's wing or a single feather within the Auric
Field - the space of energy surrounding a person. Feathering also introduces
the element of air into the healing space and is one way of connecting to and
working with the element of “air". When considered as a component of a birds wing,
feathers are a symbol of flight as well as freedom, symbolising the spiritual
journey or quest and inter-dimensional travel. Feathers are one of the
shamanic tools that facilitate the ability to be able to look at
things from a higher perspective and to know that the power to move
beyond boundaries and limitations is available to the seeker. Indigenous people from many different cultures
found around the world often link birds and feathers with stories, mystical
meaning and in some cases magic. In native cultures, wearing feathers on the
head in various ways such as a single feather or an elaborate headdress, may be
associated with a sacred connection to the Creator or God. What could it mean when a feather crosses your
path? Receiving a feather sign can be a meaningful
moment. Feathers have unearthly qualities and may come to
you as sacred gifts and signs from the Spirit realm, sent to support you and
often instilling feelings of contentment and joy, raising you to a higher state
of awareness. When a feather arrives for you, Spirit is reminding you of your
spiritual origins and deep connection to your home beyond earthly realms. A feather sign may be a mindful message to show
you that your higher consciousness is connected and co-creating with the
universal mind of Spirit. As with many helpers and signs, feathers
usually arrive when you are in deep thought about something, or looking for
answers to something that may be bothering you. The following is a pleasant and effective method
of connecting with the feather to receive the message it is here to convey to
you. Bring back to your mind what it was you were
thinking about when your feather appeared to you. Then hold the feather in to
your left hand while you sit in a place of quiet receptivity. Take your time
with this opening of your awareness, allowing the experience to come through
gently and intuitively. The message my come in the form or thoughts,
intuitions, visions etc. and will help to give you insight in to object of your
thoughts or dilemma. The meanings can at times be profound, and
at other times quite simple. The best advice when sign appear to you, is to not
put any pressure on yourself to understand it immediately. Allow yourself to
absorb the moment and sit with the feelings/sensations and knowledge for a
while. Feel the elation and joyful state of connection you may experience. What Different Feathers May Mean When considering the meaning of a feather, we may
be drawn to read about the bird family that the feather is from and/or colour
of the feather . However the most relevant answer can often sit within
yourself, so do practice the journey technique outlined above. I highly recommend getting in to the habit of
noting down your experiences and keeping a journal of signs and synchronicity’s.
By doing this, you may obtain a deeper and more valuable insight as time goes
by. In the future, consider paying closer attention
to your surroundings and you may become more aware of the way that Spirit
interweaves throughout your life through signs such as this - indicating that
you are in connection with Spirit. About the Author Melanie Tomsett is
