How To Get Things Done The Magic Shamanic Way

There is a uniquely shamanic way to get things done.

Normally, we make a plan, follow the plan, handle all sorts of contingencies, and then nitpick about the result until we have no choice but to let it go.

Getting something done shamanically works a bit differently. We sit down in a comfortable place, a hammock works wonderfully. Then we imagine what that sort of thing we want done would look like. We see it in our mind until it's clear. We learn to move it around, and look at it from all angles. We notice little details. We might even chose to have more detail in one area, and less detail in another area where we don't care about the details as much.

Then, we will send it up to the high self, and proclaim: This is done! and that's it.

Then we go and find fun things to do, until the time comes again for imagination.

We will do zilch about whatever we want done, at least for a while.

Then, sometimes, we will notice that somebody else already did what we wanted done. Sometimes, we will find an irresistable urge to do something completely different at just a certain time and sure enough, that leads us to what we wanted done just falling into our lap.

Yet another time, we might get an irresistable urge to follow the completely normal and common sense steps to getting the thing done, and it will be done amazingly quickly with time to spare to go out and party!

To the outside eye, it looks like laziness, but it's not- it's harnessing a power greater than ourselves to get things done. And even in the greatest frenzy of activity it feels like somewhere between a light snooze and a fun game. It's a good way to live.
