Lions, and Tigers and Shamans .. oh my!















For my birthday this year. I decided to check out a modern day Native America Shaman named
Emaho. Some of my amazing floatation therapy customers have been following him for over a decade, and I decided to find out why.

The Event was amazing, great food, great fire dance and common sense old school life wisdom.

Here is a bit more about Emaho:

Emaho

Emahó is an American Indian shaman who has been organizing seminars in Europe for more than 20 years. Firedance is a part of them. Born as a Catholic, mother was Spaniard, father an American Indian from the Tewa tribe.

Emahó passed through Buddhism, he is a catholic bishop of the Antioch church, he became a Hinduist and mainly he is 'a child of life' as he says. His teaching is about how life is very universal and above all religions.

The ritual of firedance took him 7 years under unusual circumstances and has now dedicated it to people living in Europe as a gift. Six months a year he is working at the seminars.

Answering the question 'what is happening during fire dance?' in an interview for the Respekt newspaper, Emahó said: “The spirit of people is a black space. Splendid, divine, completely black space. It is Life. And at his edge there is a rainbow moving light. It is a dream-like body of every human being. All people are born like divine beings, fascinating and spontaneous. But all injuries and disappointments are like grains of sand clogging up this dream-like body. We have no notion, how much these grains affect us inside, induce diseases and problems. During the firedance I can see dreamlike bodies of people dancing with me and I work with them. I remove all grains of sand being like weight. All of us have them, we are weak, critical, unfair, confused and injured.

So... get your shaman on... it's a great ride.
