Many statements  of Serge Kahili in “urban Shaman” can be applied to my website. My essays usually are meant for “helping people to discover their own power to change their lives.”

I likewise maintain “an open-door policy”.

” Some fear the knowledge will be less potent if everybody knows it.” I want to share what I have learned, usually the hard way. I want my readers “to understand and use” whatever knowledge my essays give.

“More often the teaching would be done by example, suggestion and counseling”
I wish my readers would be inspired to change their limiting beliefs after reading my experiences.

“…the dissolving of limiting beliefs could be done in a number of ways, but a common method used was a kind of talk therapy often including affirmations.”

“…but invariably the process (training for shamanism) would emphasize self-esteem and inner authority.”
The seven principles summarize the world view of shamans. I included the principles in a previous essay.
