I have been trying to follow the shamanic path for 3/4 years now but things just seem to have got in the way but when i have actually looked at doing it seriously courses cost anything from £1500 to £3000 so i guess its like anything else those who have money can do it those who dont can go away nothing changes then ??????
Hi Kaotic
I understand how you feel. Some courses can be so darn expensive. But there are thousands of people who pay.
I have myself spent thousands on my quest. If something pulled me, I never let money put me off. I just rested in the knowing that money will rush from some where to fulfil this desire( or else the desire would not have arisen). Money always presented itself when it was really needed to pay for a course, healing, training or even to donate to gurus.
It has not let me down once yet.
When money seems an issue, look within. Is the longing strong enough to overcome the financial obstacle.
Believe me, money seems like a huge obstacle, but if the commitment to your spiritual journey was 100%,(or perhaps even 200%) it becomes the responsibility of the Whole to make your journey smooth. Then money comes, the right teaching comes.
You can only ask yourself, why are you blocking it?
perhaps frightened to part with money...
watch where you are pinching your pipes....
See where the commitment to journey is slacking. Is it a wishy washy approach to your own growth?
Mind can kick a fuss for even a small amount. Ordinarily mind values money more than peace, freedom, bliss etc because such is the human conditioning about money matters.
Money is a sore point especially for all things 'spiritual'..It is rooted in lack in general. Money and 'spiritual' are not two. its about an open hearted giving and receiving. Give with open hands receive with open hands. All is easy in flow
When there is a fire behind the seeking, all obstacles burn in that fire.
Don't look to embark on this journey from the space of lack. All spiritual journey is a journey to infinite abundance. Starting at the right place is vital to complete the journey.

The prices you quote are certainly at the expensive end. Have a look at The Core shamanic Practitioners' site for teachers that they recommend and email prospective teachers with any questions that you may have. Make sure you find the right teacher for you.
I don't want to sound as if I'm advertising - this isn't the place for it - but my courses are a lot cheaper than that! I guess it depends a lot on overheads. A teacher flying in from the USA (for example) will have to charge more than one teaching in his/her home town. There are good courses out there that don't cost the earth (in any sense of that phrase).
