Shamans and The Weather
Today being a rainy day, I have listened to quite a few people comment on how the weather is affecting their mood. I began to wonder how conscious we are of our relationship to weather, how it effects our mood and how we contribute to weather changes. As a collective consciousness, how do our thoughts and emotions affect weather energetics? I have read of Shamans being able to connect with the spirit of the elements and create a relationship with each element to assist them when needed. They are called Weather shamans and they hold the responsibility of working with the elements on behalf of their communities. They demonstrate unusual powers to call in or stop the rain or bring in a storm. It brings me to the reality that we as a culture are not taught to view these elements as “alive” spirits. We are not taught to create a conscious relationship to each element and are not aware of our inter connectedness.
With the growing reality of global warming and the effects of pollution, this brings me to thoughts as to how, as Shamans, we can create a relationship with the elements to try to support and perhaps create a shift in earth changes. Creating a goal not only to support other humans through change but also mother earth. I am going to do some further research on this topic. Any thoughts?

Tere is a new book out called Weather Shamans by Nan Corbin and --- Moss, two of Harner's senior students who I have had a workshop with and really respect. I had planned to order it, and I would strongly recommend it sight unseen.It is being advertised now, so I bet it is gettable from Amazon.
I know that folks here in the country, who are supposedly more in tune do concern themselves with weather, but only in the pocketbook sense. Believe it or not, I have seen people drive down their farm lanes to get the mail - and not old or disabled folks.
I want to explore this area also. I think it is vital in the times to come that this area be worked with, even though it is not my primary concentration. I want to think about it as a little of my service and thanks to this planet. You might also check on Sandra Ingerman, another senior Harner person who is very involved with earth and water healing, who has gone from writing books about soul retrieval almost entirely into this area.
