Signs and Objects from Nature
Shamans say small things carry meaning. A bird feather found on your path is a strong charm from the heavens, worth bringing home and keeping in a vase or on a shelf. Stones gathered from rivers hold great power and energy. Never throw rubbish into flowing water, since the water's spirit can grow angry, and you can calm it instead with bread, milk, or a coin. Stones shaped like animals should not be picked up without a small ritual first, asking the spirit of that place and making an offering, then lifting the stone wrapped in white cloth.
Living Well with Others
The advice returns often to kindness. Try with all your strength to help others, and if you cannot bring them happiness, at least do them no harm. The ability to love is the most important skill on Earth, and you should learn to love everyone, even your enemies. If you want respect, give respect first, answering good with good and simply ignoring cruelty rather than fighting it. Never drink alcohol, since it kills the body, brain, and spirit, and instead relax at the bathhouse, sing for joy, and share tea for conversation.
Facing Hardship and Yourself
Difficulties are described as mere formalities, however serious they seem, since the sky is always there even behind clouds. Do not doubt yourself once you decide to act, and do not lose hope if you fail the first time. Never dwell in regret, since whatever happens comes by the will of the spirits and is always for the best. Set aside at least one hour of silence each day, sing when your spirit feels heavy, and dance when you feel sorrow, letting the movement clear the bad energy from your mind.
