Hi Loreli! We will be having several people share traditions here and some will share things from books they have read. I bought a book called 'The Medicine Way' by Kenneth Meadows, specifically for a diagram and information about the power centres in the human body and the 10 eyes and 5 ears. Woohoo! Good stuff!

From the small amount of research, hearing stories and reading I have done on shamanism over the years, I have found there are many paths and uses of shamanism. Many people view it as a way of life and many view it as a religion. Then there are those who consider it one more tool in their toolbox of healing modalities. I personally view it as all three but I have been a shaman in past lives. This life, I have found some of the things I now do have been described to me as shamanism.
Anyway, I too am here in this thread to learn. Years ago, I was told, to learn something deeper, teach it. So I will use this thread to share some of the book I have so that I will 'learn it deeper'.

native american code of ethics:


rise with the sun to pray, pray alone, pray often,the great spirit will listen, if you only speak.

be tolerant of those who are lost on their path, ignorance, conciet, anger, jealousy and greed stem from a lost soul, pray that they will find guidance.

search for yourself, by yourself, do not allow others to make your path for you. it is your road, and yours alone. others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

treat the guests in your home with much consideration. serve them the best food, give them the best bed and treat them with respect and honor.

do not take what is not yours whether from a person, a community, the wilderness or from a culture. it was not earned nor given. it is not yours.

respect all things that are placed upon this earth - whether it be people or plant.

honor other people's thoughts, wishes and words, never interrupt another or mock or rudely mimic them. allow each person the right to personal expression.

never speak of others in a bad way. the negative energy that you put out into the universe will multiply when it returns to you.

all persons make mistakes. and all mistakes can be forgiven.

bad thoughts cause illness of the mind, body and spirit. practice optimism.

nature is not for us, it is a part of us. they are part of your wordly family.

children are the seeds of our future. plant love in their hearts and water them with wisdom and life's lessons. when they are grown, give them space to grow.

avoid hurting the hearts of others. the poison of your pain will return to you.

be truthful at all times. honesty is the test of ones will within this universe.

keep yourself balanced. your mental self, spiritual self, emotional self, and physical self, - all need to be strong, pure and healthy. work out the body to strenghten the mind. grow rich in spirit to cure emotional ails.

make conscious decisions as to who will you will be and how you will react. be responsible for your own actions.

respect the privacy and personal space of others. do not touch the personal property of others - especially sacred and religious objects. this is forbidden.

be true to yourself first. you cannot nurture and help others if you cannot nuture and help yourself first.

respect others religious beliefs. do not force your belief on others.

share your good fortune with others, participate in charity.

God Morning and may I have the honour to enter your Lodge


wakantanka

wakantanka
grandfathers
have pity on me
thank you for my life
to all my relation

I Dance, I Sing

Wrap your love around me Mother Earth
Breathe the cool essence of air against my skin
Moisten my body with pure waters
Light my eyes with ever changing color
Allow me to feel the warm soil beneath my feet

I dance for you

May I always return the nurturing you give
Tending to the life you feed
Teach me the ways of the ancients Father Sky
Guide me to heights unknown
Lift my soul into the expanse
Paint my heart with breath taking colors
Brightening my journey to distant places

I sing for you

My existence is blessed
