Energy Velcro and the Hollow Bone

The shamanic altered state of consciousness and being a “hollow bone” are not necessarily the same thing.  All over the Internet contemporary practitioners are claiming that the altered state they enter to work with Spirit is, by definition, being a “hollow bone.”  Becoming the Hollow Bone is an ancient practice in Zen Buddhism, shamanism, and many native peoples of North America.  It takes years of dedicated and disciplined practice to create this inner state of consciousness and freedom.  In contrast, entering a shamanic trance state, or journeying, is relatively simple to learn, usually allows immediate and useful access to one’s helping spirits, and is basically every human being’s birthright now.

In our efforts to explain to a contemporary world what shamanism is and how it can help with pretty much all that ails us, let’s not get carried way.  To become the Hollow Bone is to dedicate oneself to the tireless discipline of clearing your inner energy Velcro.  This requires first noticing that you have been hooked by something in life.  Then looking within at what Velcro loop within you has just been snagged.  Then to move deeper within, for the process has only just begun. Join host and shaman, Christina Pratt, as she explores the deeper truth of becoming the Hollow Bone and the freedom that arises from this ancient and worthy discipline.
