yes, it is. But I also remember that it can feel weird because my awareness expands and I feel less focused than I usually am. I cannot think in the same way
. I feel a bit similar to being spaced out in that sense, though it is a different state. I feel as if I were less sharp as a consequence but I am just less sharp of my own rational accord. I do not specifically like having my rationality blunted heh. I like expanded awareness that is more controlled by me. In general, though, I do not find it tragic if people find me to be foolish or silly. I guess that helps . Plus there is another sensor that is a lot more active which I guess I need in those situations hence the whole thing transpires that way.
At those rare times when it is as if something moved me to move another it is quite magical for me because I feel I am a connecting link between the person and something that is very aware. The space around us in such a situation includes this something. Something that is looking out for us...
I am now thinking that maybe sometimes someone is moved like this for my benefit too. How wonderful heh. This did not really occur to me before.

That is a great start and continuation

I guess we all fumble... it depends on who is looking and what kind of description they'd give the stuff we do. I surely tend to think I fumble quite a lot. So... keep up the good work/fumbling.

The best success ive had is when its less of a command and more of a petition coupled with a chant.
Also if the possibility for a storm already exists.
Id sit in awe as lightning transverses across the sky.
I think approaching something with this kind of setting and with awe and respect is a good setting for a warrior.
I also do not tend to utilize commands. I think I have written somewhere here at the site before how shamans have 2 techniques of working with spirits/elements/allies/etc. One is commanding, the other is asking/requesting politely. Some prefer one, others prefer another (I find it says a lot about the person too). Maybe in some cases, one does not have a choice, but in many cases one does. I find the method of asking or requesting to be closer to my heart and I also use songs, chants, different music instruments etc. One meaning of beckon is "to appear attractive or inviting" - this imo is achieved through connecting and this can be done through different ways. These creative expressions are, in a typical shamanic way, dedicated to the spirits. It is great if you allow yourself to be moved by say the storm or a tree etc and then put this into an artistic expression. You can even write a story and read it then to the tree etc. There really is no limit to one's imagination
.
So, yea, when connecting.... allow your body and soul and spirit to be free and experience and express.
In addition, you can bring other types of gifts and offerings for the spirits as well.
Ask for guidance in terms of how to heal and become more wholesome (which will help you connect with these beings better). And then follow it (oddly enough people can get guidance and not follow it). When people do not follow a message from the spirits it sends them the message that the person is not interested, it can even give the impression that their advice has been spurned. One needs to be respectful and grateful. Always greet and thank the spirits. You can even tell them your name when you greet them.
If you keep at it then this will create a kind of bond and working relationship.
Plus, you do not need to bond with lightning to benefit from lightning/thnuderbeing medicine.
( Also, not all of us can have all types of medicines there are - and there is surely quite a number of options. Someone is better bonded with fire, for example. I would say, though, that having a longing lasting fascination for the element is a good indicator that there is some attraction there . )

Am I deluding my self? Maybe.
But damn the sky looks nice lit up.
I think most of us go through this. Questioning stuff. But then, I like how you sequence this thought and end with the ending. In the end, what matters to me is the magic and awe and wonder and amazement etc that we can experience. I tend to say to disbelievers that to the healed person it really doesn't matter they got a placebo and not the 'real' medicine. The proof is in the pudding mmmm let's have a feast . I always loved pudding - vanilla is my fav .
P.S. Loved the youtube vid.
