The power of Love, songs are written about it, poems too. For all that this biggest feeling we can ever feel is still not expressed in such a way that we can all agree on what it is. When love is returned in the same measure it its given that is magical. People who see a couple that much in love enjoy being there to have that power validated. I used to say that being with Iris was the best feeling in the world. The air was fresher, the sun light warmer, food tasted better, joy was created just by being together. That was a rare feeling for me. I had only experienced it with Iris, then Lily, and now Red Rose. Each time that power is bigger, lasts longer, has more magic to it. Having loved deeply before my heart is able to love even more deeply now.
Those of us who have loved more than once, carry the scars of past love with us. Some would call those abuse triggers. There are wounds I would heal with the passage of time or perhaps the certain knowledge that I am loved beyond measure. The feeling of being abandoned or not good enough to have this blessing in my life called love. It’s a self-destructive thing we all do at one time or another. Holding ourselves back from feeling the true power of love. To be able to love like our hearts had never been broken, sounds like a country song, yet it is a true thing. In order to have this epic magical love we have to overcome those feelings of doubt, low self-esteem, and fear. Fear has no place in a loving relationship. The great thing about this is we get to choose what serves us and what doesn’t We can choose to let that negativity that holds us back go. What are you choosing right now? To be alone, to not engage your heart fully, to have fear that holds you back, to let low self-esteem keep you from having this magical love. I love those old sayings, there is a lid for every pot, love is blind, I am in love with a fool isn’t it great! I love you warts and all.

by Walks with Thunder | Jul 25, 2011 | How to
As many of you have noticed our weather has been changing on its own. If we can believe a man who claims to have invented the internet, our planet is in trouble. Our recent category 5 Hurricanes and record numbers of tornadoes as well as record high temperatures would all seem to support a growing trend that could actually make me believe a politician could be right about the weather. Then again I am not used to trusting that sort of person and can take care of the weather with the help of my friends. Sorry did I forget to tell you I am a modern Shaman. I change the weather all the time, as long as it helps the people.
Last October I had an interview for a local paper in the Puget Sound area of North Western Washington and while chatting on the phone with the interviewer I told her that Hurricane Rita would be a category 5 at sea, 2 when it hit land and a 1 when it was over any cities. A week later that is exactly what happened. How do I do that you say, I ask the spirit of the weather to cooperate with me that’s how. You see in my world everything has a spirit. In your world too, sometimes you even notice it, ever had a car with a name? Did someone you know name their favorite tool? Boats often have names as well, I bet you have even talked to your car or boat asking it to cooperate with you at times.
To ask the spirit of the weather to cooperate with you is an easy thing. Now some folks will tell you that you need a blanket, music, blind fold and have to lay down. Those are the same people who claim to have invented remote viewing. What I am going to share with you in a simple way is what Shaman all over the world have done for 30,000 years or more. I learned this in a dream, and you don’t need any props to do it. Many of my students do this waiting in line at the grocery store or at the dentist office.
Take a deep breath or three and frame what kind of weather you want to ask for in your mind. Close your eyes or keep them open your call here. In your mind’s eye imagine that you are talking to the spirit of whatever weather you want in your area. Then ask them politely to change the weather to what you want it to be. Be specific about when and how this change should be, August 19th at 10:00 a.m. I would like no rain in Tacoma, WA. This should happen in a good way and last until 6:00 p.m. Usually I ask the Thunder Nation to give me a hand with this sort of thing, I see them as a storm cloud over the ocean or as a Native Warrior, and sometimes as a Thunderbird with lighting flashing from its eyes.
When I was new at this weather control ability I had a friend in Canada email me and ask for my help, here is a copy of her email:

Subject: Kelowna fires
Hi Shamanic friends:
My friend in Kelowna tells me they lost another 200 homes last night to fire. On a suggestion from her shaman in town (his name is Preben) I did a journey last night to help calm down the fire and the wind. It went well in my journey but all it did was change directions. At least that’s good it’s blowing east now away from the city but it’s still almost 75 km/hr in places and is fueled by the fire. I wonder if we all do a journey to calm the wind and fire if that will help?

What happened next was unthinkable to me. These other two folks are Shamanic Practioners and they said they would not be able to help because of the butterfly effect. Sorry wrong answer, Shaman are here to help the people. When people are losing their homes, I as a shaman should help if I can. In this case my friend had permission to ask for outside help from a local Shaman. These two wanna be’s couldn’t see past political correctness to do their duty as Shaman. I replied, sure I can help, we Natives have been changing the weather for thousands of years, if we had a charter it would be in there, Shaman change the weather for the good of the people and nature.
I did the exercise above, closed my eyes and saw a black storm cloud over the ocean. I called out to the Thunder Nation and asked them to have pity on these poor Canadians and put out the fire. They answered in my mind saying we can and will help in four days. I then had an idea that I should ask the spirit of the fire to have pity on these poor Canadians and stop burning down their homes. Behind me I felt heat, as though from a hot oven. I turned around and there was a large human made of black rock, he had orange cracks in the join areas that spit fire and smoldered. He sat down and I sat across from him. He said in my mind, “if you are brave enough I will do as you ask.” A shiver of fear ran down my spine, as this guy was about 8 feet tall and looked like he could break me in half with one hand. I looked at him closely and noticed he had what looked like a sword handle pointing towards me. A stray thought told me this was what he used to keep the fire going and spreading. On impulse I grabbed this handle and took his weapon away from him. He looked at me in a slightly disappointed way, as he didn’t get to break me in half, and walked away. I knew I had passed his bravery test. In four days there was a cloud burst over the area that put out the fire in 30 minutes. 10,000 Canadians were able to return to their homes.

Shamanic Blessings
I have noticed from the feed back I get that an interesting thing is going on with my Shamanic Blessings. As a Native American I know that the Grandfather and Grandmother spirits surround us all the time. Our spiritual belief that all our relations that have passed on before us are still hanging around watching over us, guiding and helping us along our life path. Usually after I call the 7 directions and my favorite nations and say the blessing, it takes 4 to 7 days for a result. Though there is also a chance nothing at all will happen as divine will or divine law says not at this time or not ever. (more…)

“Love is something that you can leave behind you when you die. It’s that powerful.”
–John (Fire) Lame Deer, ROSEBUD LAKOTA
The Old Ones say, love is all anyone needs. Love doesn’t go away nor can
love be divided. Once you commit an act of love, you’ll find it continues.
Love is like setting up dominos one behind the other. Once you hit the first
domino, it will touch the second one which will touch the third one and so
on. Every love act or love thought has an affect on each person as well as
touching the whole world. If you live a life filled with love, the results
will affect your friends, relatives and other people, even after you go to
the other side. So… Love.
My Creator, let me love. Let me put into action the love dominos.
Don Coyhis
I know that love is the most powerful thing we do as humans. It’s not science, art or war, its love. It has the power to lift us up and make us more than we are or were. To give us courage to go on when a sane person would quit and just die. Yes I do think a person in love is not sane, who would walk in the rain and not even notice but a person who has lost all senses.
We write books about love, make movies, and tell our stories, best of all we love that feeling of being in love. For me holding hands while walking together, a sweet kiss that lives in my memories, the curve of her face, the way her hair catches the light, the sound of her voice, seeing her again just makes you fall more in love with this angel of your heart… sigh. .
Love can also be the most painful thing you will ever leave behind. I know that you take this love with you when you cross over to the other side. It’s one of the few things we get to keep. Ever notice when you meet someone and you instantly feel one way or another about them. That is a past life partner, for good for ill, you recognize each other’s souls and act accordingly.
The soul mate, twin flame, ideas are about love so strong the word love alone cannot describe the in tenseness of the love you feel. Being connected on a soul level or even beyond a soul level. Think about this, in love with a person from a past life time and this one too, having a deep memory of loving them. Combine that with loving them this lifetime and you have an even stronger connection. Just being in the room with them is powerful, they don’t even have to touch you and your happy happy.
The twin flame connection is so powerful it usually doesn’t last, though it can if you put effort into it. It can come at the wrong time in your life to handle its intensity, ride this out, it’s worth it! I feel it’s a taste of what our relationships are like on the other side. We get a taste of heaven from that relationship. When its over we mourn its loss like a death of a beloved family member. Would I pass up that experience, no way, would I do it again, oh if only I could, YES!
May the creator bless us with a love that comes at the right time, which fulfills our needs and exceeds our dreams. May it come in a good but powerful way.
One who has healed his own heart
