Experience Your Soul with Soul Shamanism

Beginning October 13, Janet StraightArrow, shaman, sage and healer, offers Soul Shamanism 101, a life-changing class that opens participants to heavenly levels of reality, bridging heaven to earth in real ways. “Our life makes sense when we discover the truth of our soul. Knowing who we are as the person we were born to be in this body and lifetime unfolds and supports us in many ways,” states StraightArrow.

Soul Shamanism is a signature work offering advanced Shamanism levels that are centered on us having a direct experience with our soul and higher levels of spiritual wisdom and knowledge and healing. A recent student shares, “My Soul Shamanism class with Janet was profound. She helped me open doors and explored my mission and my soul. I am processing the experience and know that I will be stronger and more aligned as a result. I recommend this journey for anyone who wants to learn more about him or herself and find a healthier paradigm for living.”

The class is presented over five weeks via Zoom, and limited in space as small groups allow for personal attention and guidance.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
