 Hi there!

You are listening to the Schapera Show, and I am Neil, bringing you reports of my Shamanic Journeys to the Spirit Realm and the guidance that the benevolent Spirits give us.

So, the purpose of this journey is to travel to the Spirit Realm of the Upper world with the request for guidance on how the Spirit Realm and interacting with the Spirit Realm is of importance to humans. The purpose of this journey is to travel to the Spirit Realm, to the Upper world, and ask the Spirits for guidance on the question, why is connecting with the Spirit Realm important for humans?

So, I’m standing on my mountain ledge, ready for my ascension to the Upper world, and as I was thinking about how I would go up this time, because there is more than one method of going up to the Upper world, I see the picture of what I’m calling an animated totem pole that I used recently to go to the Upper world. And it’s quite wide; it’s a little bit broader than I can get my arms around, and it has all kinds of carvings on it. Carvings of faces, of people, animals, fantasy faces, other shapes and colors, and it has all these protrusions and hollows that provide for a very easy way to climb up the totem pole.

And I’m climbing up, and as I’m going up, I’m continuing to put out my intention for this journey, that I’m going to the Upper world to ask the Spirits to help me explore and to answer the question of how is connecting with the Spirits, with the Spirit Realm, important? And I, of course, know through much experience, without any question of doubt or uncertainty, that connecting with the Spirit world is vital, but I thought this would be an interesting topic for the listeners of the Schapera Show, who might not have much familiarity with shamanic journeying.

So I’m going up, and as I go up, in addition to the lights that are glowing out of this pole as I climb up, there are also sounds, and overall, I take them as sounds of welcome. And I’m going up, and I know not to set any limits as to how high I will climb. And in fact, it’s getting darker around me as the climb takes me into, you could say, the darkness of space. And also, as I go up, I’m calling in my benevolent Spirits of the Upper world, my Spirit teachers, and I pause in my narration to give me time to think of their identities as I call them in.

And I get to what is, for this journey, the top of the climb, the top of the structure, and one of my Spirit teachers who flies comes swooping down and collects me. And so we’re flying even higher up. And I’m interested to see where we arrive. Sometimes, many times, going up to the Upper world, I arrive in a familiar spot, but that doesn’t have to be the case.

And in fact, they take me to an area that I think I’m more familiar with from the Lower world, which is a river. But instead of it being in the jungle, as when I’ve done a similar journey in the Lower world, this is a very calm river. Very peaceful, very wide; it’s not a jungle river. And I’m in a boat, and I’m not sure how the boat is being propelled, but we’re moving along at a leisurely pace.

Vivien in Conversation with Karen DeWig – Dealing with a Scary Diagnosis

 

Hello and welcome to the Schapera show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called life. Our guest today is a colleague of mine that I haven’t actually met in person yet and I’m extremely pleased to meet her now in this particular way. I mean I have spoken to her on the phone. We always prepare for these interviews to make them wonderful for all of us and I want to say welcome to Karen DeWig  – Hi Karen, welcome to the show.

 
Hi Vivien, thank you so much for having me. It’s a pleasure being here.

You’re one of the people that I have been observing in our professional society with giving such amazing leadership and everything and so I want to say that but before we begin I just also want to remind everyone that this is part two in a two-part presentation. So last time we spoke to Brooke Leib and she talked about her experience of working with you Karen and I believe you’re going to reference that in what we talk about today, is that right?

Oh yeah, yeah I’m going to be bringing up my work with Brooke. Definitely.

Yeah, good. So I think let’s just begin in a very ordinary grounded way with you telling us about yourself. For example I know you’re an Alexander teacher but in my experience almost all Alexander teachers have other careers, other interests. So let’s hear about you Karen.

Yeah so I got into Alexander technique as a professional flutist. I thought it would help my flute playing which it did but it also changed my personality in a really cool way. Like I found myself able to not respond so habitually or quickly or emotionally as I was used to and I really liked that about myself and so that got me really interested in Alexander enough so that I decided to become a teacher and so I taught for maybe years before opening a teacher training course which I’ve been doing for the past years or so. So I’m training Alexander teachers as well.

Spirit Report: The Importance Of Creativity

Hi there!
You are listening to the Schapera Show, and I am Neil, bringing you reports of my Shamanic Journeys to the Spirit Realm and the guidance that the benevolent Spirits give us.

The purpose of this journey is to travel to the Spirit realm of the Upper world and ask the compassionate Spirits, Spirits of benevolence and kindness, the Spirits that in the Upper world are referred to as Spirit teachers, to ask them to give me guidance on the topic of the importance of creativity for humans, the importance of creativity in the lives of humans.

And this is really fascinating because immediately what I’m shown as my way of traveling up to the Upper world, to climb up to the Upper world, is I guess you could call it a totem pole, which is carved and painted in all kinds of motifs. I see animal faces, similar to what I saw having been created by indigenous tribal people in Costa Rica, the masks that they created.

And so I’m being told straight away that for want of a better word, we’ll call it creativity has been around for a long, long time. And they say that creativity at its peak, so to speak, is a way of connecting with the Spirit realm, with the divine, with the transcendent, that yes there is, to put it poorly, to not give it its due, you could call it, there is the decoration aspect of creativity, which segues into beauty, which segues into this experience of transcendence.

And creativity is naturally to be understood as the experience of the creator, and the experience of the recipient, the person who sees the creation, hears the creation, reads the creation, whatever form the creation takes. And the Spirits are saying that of course the primary creativity is the creativity of the creation of the universe.

And this is all before I’ve even properly started ascending this, what I’m calling a totem pole, it’s a way for me to get up. And because there are carvings sticking out along the side, it’s very, very easy to climb. There are all kinds of footholds and hand holes and openings. It’s actually ideally created for climbing.

Vivien: Hello and welcome to The Schapera Show where Viv and Neil explore this big adventure called life.

Our guest today is someone unique in my life and her name is Brooke Lieb and we have agreed to share our remarkable relationship with you here on the show because Brooke is a fellow Alexander teacher as well as an amazing, amazing support person who has helped me put crystal surgery classes through a whole series of courses and structure that I just couldn’t have managed on my own without her.

 She was the head of the very impressive ACAT, The American Center for the Alexander Technique in New York and she just has an absolutely sparkling resume and incredible experience as well as being someone whose hands I trust which is a big deal for me.

So I want to say welcome to Brooke. Brooke, thank you for coming on the show.

Brooke: Oh, my pleasure. And thank you for providing a bridge during COVID for us become amazing distance energy healers. That really was something special wasn’t it?

Vivien: It just came upon us and then we did it. And I remember that moment when I think Brooke is helping.

Brooke, why don’t we take off with you telling us just a little bit about yourself, your training, your background, head of ACAT and then we can go straight into the very, very interesting case study which we are going to follow up next month as well. So just a brief overview of your background.
