Astrology and Eco Shamanism
The practice of Eco Shamanism has, until recently, confined itself to ’the greater part of the soul outside the body’ in relation to our earthly realm, what we experience in the here and now, on this planet. It has relied on forging greater connection between our inner and outer soul environments. Over the past year a new way of experiencing this connection has emerged whilst Mandy has been studying astrology. You could call it shamanic alchemy as it brings connections and messages from the cosmos, helping to fuse us with a wider cosmological spirit. The more immediate earthly realm is still as important but the cosmological connection expands our understanding and experience of the divinity within us.
When we are searching for meaning we often look close at hand to understand and to hold up answers to our lives. Perhaps we are suffering because someone has said something hurtful to us or we’ve stubbed our toe or we feel stuck because of a situation we are in. We may externalise the cause further into our environment, initially within our home, relationships, work etc and then maybe further, to the systems by which we live such as politics, laws, ethics, the media etc. Eco Shamanism at this level looks to our environment in an immediate sense, looking for signs, divining meaning, confering with nature, sensing spirit within the bounds of our planet. When we bring an astrological approach to Eco Shamanism we take our awareness beyond ‘matter’ as we know it on our Earth and feel into the numinous qualities of the cosmos, of the planets in our solar system and the bright stars in the constellations beyond. This helps us to connect to ‘meaning’ beyond ourselves as instigators of the answers we seek. It has parallels to homeopathy in terms of ‘like treats like’ and extremely dilute remedies that we cannot fathom on a logical level (planets and stars are so distant we find it difficult to understand that their movement can affect us). There is also a correlation to the flower essence remedies of Edward Bach and his mantra ‘heal thyself’ - we have a divinity which is connected to the cosmos and when this is in balance we feel balanced within ourselves. In essence it is akin to trusting in a divine order in nature and the cosmos. This becomes obvious when we look at sacred geometry, number and pattern.
Essentially, astrology and eco shamanism is a synthesis of spirit both here and in the greater cosmos that is seeking balance and harmony within your soul or spirit.
