EP4: Still on the Fence? How I Stopped Pretending I Wasn't a Shamanka

In this intimate early morning episode recorded by candlelight at 5 AM, host Bel Bare reflects on the nature of spirituality, the human tendency to create structures around spiritual experiences, and her own diverse spiritual journey spanning decades. Bel explores how growing her Sacred Mechanics business has prompted her to consider the challenges of putting form around spiritual processes, much like trying to structure creativity itself.Bel shares her progression from childhood spiritual experiences through Catholic education, Buddhism, New Age practices, witchcraft, and eventually to her current shamanic practice. She discusses how spiritual understanding deepens and transforms over time, noting that "to spirit, it's one formless, infinite breathing, living movement that's universal." Bel explains that shamanism emerged as a framework that honors human connection to all things, describing it as "a structure that helps humans understand so many facets of our capacity as spiritual beings." Throughout the episode, she contemplates the limitations of labels and modalities in capturing the formless nature of spirituality, suggesting that an eclectic approach might be a superpower for those whose spiritual explorations don't fit neatly into established categories."If you find yourself on this journey and you're not sure what to hold on to or learn because you're all over the place and your listening and learning habits are really eclectic. Maybe eclectic is your superpower."Connect With Sacred MechanicsLearn more about Bel's healing work, clairvoyance services, spiritual mentoring and education at Sacred Mechanics, and check out "Citizens of Eternity," her short film mentioned in the episode that includes channeled information.Recorded in Australia with the morning kookaburras providing the natural soundtrack to close the episode.#SpiritualJourney #Shamanism #Spirituality #SpiritualAwakening #SpiritualGrowth #SpiritualExperience This is a public episode.
