- (1888PressRelease) November 23, 2014 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, November 25, at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt notes tells listeners that we are not actually entitled to anything, not the water we drink or the air we breathe. Everything is a gift. According to Pratt, for the gifts to flow, we must give thanks. Gratitude is not only something that we need to feel; it must take form. Gratitude must be part of the labor, love and wisdom of your day. Pratt notes that it is not enough to say, "thank you"; gratitude must be made concrete through action and intent. How then do we show true gratitude for the gifts that come to us through the door of pain, betrayal, heartbreak, and less than perfect parents?
In this week's episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "Giving Gratitude for the Hard Stuff?", Pratt explores how we give sincere thanks for the hard stuff in life. Gratitude as spiritual bypass sounds suspiciously like "everything is as it should be" and "they did the best they could" and it is still a bypass. Pratt addresses the question: How do we give thanks for those people, experiences, and events that show us what we do not want to see within ourselves?
