For a while, working with myself was a touchy issue. I recognized that to reach the state I desired I would have to clear away the obstructing mental and emotional baggage. However determined, I was reluctant to face my fears. Gradually my intent took over. After the first few confrontations with them I realized that their power was not nearly as strong as I’d imagined.
I was working specifically on feelings then, somewhat aware of individual feelings connected to thought words… or spoken words. One day I received a gift from my soul…. perhaps an ability perfected in a different life time.
It was this: As I thought or spoke, I was aware of myself observing my thought\spoken process. It was as if I had twinned myself to an extent. This observer part of me seemed to be in a neutral observing state. This seemed to clarify the feelings associated with the words I was using. From this neutral position it became obvious if the words I was choosing indicated evasion, guilt, or untruth, and I could change the words as needed to be a more honest being. And of course it was useful to examine why those particular words set off those particular feelings. T;his worked even when in conversation with others.
For several months this ability remained quite pronounced. Today it is more subtle… or incorporated… but still available.

“At this point Grandfather pulls me back into his realm, where I find myself shape-shifted into the storm itself.
“My intention had been to transfigure into Storm’s divinity-maybe I have and maybe I haven’t-but I can feel Storm Spirit’s energy and personality. Its power is dazzling, and I am moved by the beauty of its lightning and tornadic fingers. As part of the storm, I can feel an intense desire to contact the earth. I feel a sense of searching for where to touch ground, for those places where energy is lacking or where there is too much power locked up. I realize how the intense rains connect the storm to earth. I revel in the storm’s ecstasy of carrying out its purpose for being. At last I fully return to myself, still in Grandfather’s domain. As I thank him, he repeats, “All you can do is to honor…” “
That is a quote from Weather Shamanism, by Nan Moss with David Corbin, subtitled Harmonizing Our Connection With the Elements. It can be very informative to one who is new to this subject. However, for actually working with weather, Peter Calhoun’s Soul on Fire was one of those books that jumped off the shelf at me, knocked my socks off, and left me in awe.
