"Shamanic Astrology" Lecture

Presented February 22, 2011 to the Asheville Friends of Astrology in Asheville, NC

In this lecture-demonstration, Asheville astrologer and shaman Benjamin Bernstein gives an overview of how he does shamanic astrology, and describes how his experiences attending magical sweat lodges and Amazonian shamanic ceremonies led him to combine Western Astrology and shamanism.

He gives attendees a firsthand taste of their own living planetary forces by doing brief basic invocations of each planet for the entire audience at once. Finally, to demonstrate the process in more detail, Benjamin does two in-depth single-planet interpretations and invocations for volunteers.

This is the edited MP3 of Benjamin's February 22, 2011 lecture for the Asheville Friends of Astrology in Asheville, NC. The file is about two hours long.

Shamanic Astrology Lecture

Shamanic Healing Conference Call, 2/1/11

This was Benjamin's first conference call devoted entirely to the shamanic healing and spiritual awakening of the participants. The energy was quite strong, and can be experienced as you listen to the recording.

CAUTION: Participants experienced powerful energetic transformations, and this recording may stimulate similar experiences in you. Please be sure that you can safely enter an altered state of consciousness while listening.

Here are unsolicited comments that participants emailed to Benjamin after the ceremony:

"Wow - last night was truly beautiful. As if hundreds of angels were in the air. It was so powerful, so very powerful.
"It felt like your body is completely filled with love from the inside out, and you are here to help human beings fill themselves up with love, too. It was really awesome."

"Thank you so much for leading and beautifully holding the space for the amazing shamanic healing circle we all created on the conference call tonight. What a wonderfully energizing, comforting, and expansive evening!
"I asked for clarity for my life purpose during the session, and, as I'm writing this immediately after, I'm experiencing a greater sense of well-being and compassion for myself. I feel lighter, more 'streamlined' and am aware of a feeling of great capacity, increased sensitivity and expanded bandwidth for this kind of work. I feel a greater integration of Spirit, more relaxed and receptive to intuition. I feel infused with a different quality of life."

Duration: about 90 minutes.

"Simple and Effective Solutions for Astrological Challenges" Lecture

Presented June 22, 2010 to the Asheville Friends of Astrology in Asheville, NC

Benjamin guarantees that his consultations will be "accurate and helpful." The "accurate" part comes mostly from astrology. The "helpful" part, however, is drawn from the simple but effective techniques he offers his clients to help them deal with the astrological challenges they're facing.

Over the course of about 3000 consultations, Benjamin has developed and refined a variety of tools that have proven consistently helpful to his clients, whether the issue is energetic hypersensitivity, difficulty receiving or following intuitive guidance, making hard decisions, overcoming Law of Attraction issues, or a host of others. Benjamin will share the ideas and techniques he offers most frequently to help his clients transform their most difficult astrological challenges into some of their greatest strengths.
