7 ways shaman’s see the world differently
Shamanism is a spiritual practice that has been found in cultures across the world throughout history. At its core, shamanism is the belief that everything in the world, both living and non-living, is connected and that there is a spiritual dimension to existence that can be accessed through rituals and other practices. One of the fundamental beliefs of shamanism is that time is non-linear. Shamans believe that the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously, and that events in one time period can influence events in another. This means that the spirits of ancestors and other beings from different time periods can communicate with us in the present, and that we can influence events in the future through our actions in the present.

Panic Attack Aftercare
Let’s talk about trauma aftercare. I have CPTSD. Today I woke up from a bad nightmare in an active panic attack. Nightmares are traumatic. They feel just like the real trauma that happened. This means that after I come out of the panic attack (treated with medication, self-talk, affirmations, grounding techniques, and active comfort), I need to take care of myself in ways I wouldn’t otherwise. I will need to actively reassure myself that I no longer have that trauma in my life. I will need extra reassurance from partners, and I might have to cancel activities to rest. I had to learn how to do these things. Our society teaches us that we should “suck it up” and move on, but that’s not actually how brains work. We have to reteach our brains that we are no longer in physical, emotional, sexual, mental, or psychological danger. That’s hard. That’s complicated. That’s not being a good capitalist. So we stockpile trauma, which isn’t good for anyone. So today I heal, at least the trauma from my nightmare. It’s probably going to involve a whopper (with cheese, no pickles, onion or ketchup), and a lot of reassuring myself that I have every right to nurture myself through food. It will require rest, and puppy snuggles, but in the end I will be more whole, I won’t have that trauma to pass on to others, and healing myself also heals the collective. Healing myself helps heal you, and vice versa. So we will heal together, we will commune together, and we will find joy together. Together we are stronger than trauma. Together, nothing can stop us.

The Reality of Sickness
I was 14 years old when my body betrayed me. I was just a kid. I remember it acutely. After being the subject of ruthless middle school bullying-and freedom from an unflattering dress code-I was ready to descend upon the world as a new me.
