I like to tour. I am a spinner and a rail rat.
shaman n : in societies practicing shamanism: one acting as a medium between the visible and spirit worlds; practices sorcery for healing or divination [syn: priest-doctor]
(aka cyberian_tiger)
I would suggest you brush up on your Star Wars dialog before we get into any real meaningful conversation.
Show me those swords then toss them nonchalantly onto the table.
Okay, I'm a tourhead shaman. I began, I'd say, as a mystic, with a calling to be a healer and helper. I grew over the years to learn how to work with the spirit world in a total hands-on way. I can be the bridge for you; I can act as a go-between to help you feel comfortable with the world of spirit. I can try to help you learn to incorporate this mode of being into your daily life more. I can also speak the language of the spirit realm, and aid the world of wonder with its own pursuits. Spirits need help, too. I have many guides and ancestral spirits that I work with, including some big named ones, wink. I'll drop one here because him and I (it's Jerry you guys) work very closely together, and he'd like you to be aware of how involved in tour he stayed even after he transitioned to being a disincarnate being. My shamanic work is boosted by a very innate strong talent as a trance medium. I can be that for Jerry anytime really; at shows or off tour. I worked very closely with the Grateful Dead family for many years after Jerry died, on tour and off. I was living out in the Bay Area then, and we did a phenomenal task, really, we broke through the troubles Jerry was having finding a new place for himself on tour. He was a bit confused and not the happiest of spirits at first, as he could no longer perform his regular role. We worked as a team as Jerry moved into his new role as Guide for me, you, and all other family. Be open to his presence on tour. Not everybody needs a medium to help them communicate with Jerry, and my ultimate goal would be to help you do it yourself anyway :) Whether you are a deadhead or a musician, I can help you along with the process of finding him there and becoming comfortable with hanging out with him. I also like to entrain in a more direct way with musicians and act as a conduit for Jerry to "piggy-back" onto the music you are making - he likes to play along. I am open to experimenting with that if you're into it. That's the service I offer, with love, really, it's just me and what I can bring to tour now. He's not the only spirit I work with, but he is a family favorite and asked me to encourage you all to strive to find him (and our/your other ancestors): so let's go exploring !!
One part of my task as a shaman is to heal the division between humans and other spirits. I have an easy-handed way of training, and can help you clear the blocks that are keeping you from being able to be aware of the spirit presence all around you. There are a lot of reasons people aren't able to get in touch with the part of themselves that interacts with the spirit world - we block out a lot of that incoming data (close down our channels) for many reasons including grief, fear, and lack of training... How about you? Do you know how you feel about spirits prancing around on tour with you? Are you open to being there with Jerry, now, as he can be still? Are you ready to learn from him and experience his music in its new form? CAN YOU PASS THE ASTRAL TEST? , lol. I keep a makeshift log with stories about Jerry, and other spirits who linger around tour lovingly, and some exercises to help you communicate with them: you can find it right here, wink . Let me know what you think. Beyond Jerry, if you are working with other spirits or would like to, I am open to talking you through blocks and helping you access your own talent to be with your loved ones or acquire a Guide to help you navigate through life. Feel free to message me or email me at [email protected] if you're just stopping by myspace and don't have an account here.
That's my sales pitch, join in on that whole thing with me, maybe...?? (I work for free, btw.) I have no idea why people are skeptical of trance mediums and shamans, lol; it's all perfectly natural to me. As in, I'm saying that I do believe that the laws of science will always blend with the spirit world. Physics and natural wonders are pretty much equivalent. If you work with energy, you're working with the divine. That's my take. All we need is the right measuring devices and we can see thoughts fly across the country and spirits become disembodied once they pass beyond the material world. Anyway...
May the Force Bewitch You
I'm mom to three adopted felines ( Magpie, Reggie, & Apache ) and a dwarf hamster, Mouse . I spend so much of my life and career learning to communicate and be with non-human animals that I will call these beings my kids and mean it - same spirits in different machines, imo. Which leads me to the following statement:
imo, Animal Welfare is more than a luxury; we all need to be cruelty-free, in our daily lives with all animals, including the human species.
I try to do my best.

The Sith Chronicles
Apache's Vacation Album
And you know, I'd really like to take time and plant and watch an avocado tree grow and eat at least one piece of its fruit . That is actually one of my dreams (plus I needed to work those 2 links in).
