The path of roaming can be a foggy one at times...



I have found as I have traveled this spiritual path that I have changed my theological views a few times now. From staunch fundie Christian who believed only fundie Christians would get to heaven to the Calvinist view. Where only those God choose would gain his favour. I see now that God is above all of these views. 
At times it has scared me so much to change. I was afraid of what my so called Christian friends would think. Let me say I have none of these people as friends now. If they knew what I practice and believe now days they would not be able to handle it.
But change I have. Each change has taught me so much about myself and others.
The biggest change was to start to really question what I believe as a Christian. Do I still have these beliefs that I first had 25 years ago? To some degree I do. Lots of my faith I no longer hold to. Maybe a later posting here to explain this more?!
The biggest fear has been what would God think about the changes I have made? This so scared me at times. Yet God is love. As I was told so many times in church. So why was I so scared? As I plunged my spiritual toe into very different spiritual ponds I have found that I am closer to God now than ever before. I see so much more of his creation now that I know we are all linked. People, plants, animals, planets, spirit world. All made by our Creator and all equal. 
The beauty of God is ever so clear now that it is not fogged up with dogma of the church. 
Love and Light till my next roaming. 

Welcome to Spiritual Roaming.





Welcome to you all. 


This is a place for me to share with you my Spiritual Roaming. Thought you might get something out of the journey I am on. Maybe I can learn from your own journey too. 


So let the Roaming begin......


I have come from a fundie church background. A divorce from both wife and the church has lead me to my life partner. She has inspired me to follow my path. I am now a Reiki Practitioner/Energy Healer. Which in turn has lead me to Shamanic ways. All it took was one shamanic journey and I am hooked. 


I have met my animal spirit guide many times now on a Shaman Journey. I will not share his name as this is very private to us both. I will tell you that he is a huge white owl. I have had many encounters with owls in the middle world (where you are reading this now. I hope? :-) ) for years now. So it is only fitting I suppose that my spirit guide would be an owl. 


Shamanic Journeying has taught me to fully love myself. To love who I am. I love my very being. Something I never got from the church. All I was taught in church was that I had to make myself smaller. I was not to love myself. This was considered a sin. You are only supposed to love God and your fellow humans. These are good things for sure. Yet how can you love someone when you don't love yourself? 
On my Journey my Owl wrapped his huge pure white wings around me and told me he loved me. At that moment I knew that I loved myself.  


I try to say this affirmation everyday. I say it when things are not going the way they should..... "I love myself. I am having a wonderful day..." I find this shifts the energy around me. Helps dispel the bad energy within me and around me. 


Till my next roaming. light and love to you all.
