Negative clairvoyance
Some people experience subtle satisfaction when a painful or bad event that they have foreseen about themselves, someone or something does indeed manifest. It is a sense of spiritual vanity, gratified by supposed gifts of clairvoyance.
In a world where the fate of every person is death and in most cases disease and suffering, it does not take any clarvoyant skill at predicting painful events. There are so many people who do it all the time. On the other hand what is missing is the gift of transforming painful events into a happy events, of replacing thoughts and visions that hurt and bind us with thoughts that bring joy and liberate us.

Astroshamanic Healing & Soul Retrieval Training, 20-21; 22-26 July 2019, Lunigiana (Italy)
This training is part of the Foundation Training in Astroshamanism
and represents a full initiation to astroshamanic healing, soul
retrieval and touch as tools for soul retrieval and multidimensional
awareness.
This workshop involves a process of recapitulation and energy
assessment of our human interactions, including parental, romantic and
sexual connections, aimed at identifying and healing soul losses due to
past relationships or engagements with ordinary reality.
Soul retrieval is based on the understanding that most painful issues
we experience are due to the fact that significant parts of our souls
are trapped or lost. When this is the case individuals sense that a
vital part of themselves is missing, feel regularly stuck or in a
vicious circle, at times experiencing severe disruption and misery in
their life. The task is to identify and retrieve these missing parts,
restoring them into the wholeness of the individual.
In astroshamanism the 12 signs of the zodiac strategically represent
the complete setting of the soul. In traditional soul retrieval sessions
the client usually remains passive and unconscious, while the
practitioner does all the work. In Franco Santoro’s astroshamanic soul
retrieval sessions, clients are fully present and directly involved in
the process, while the practitioner supports and guides them. Soul
retrieval here involves first the acknowledgement of the missing parts
and their original separation, followed by their search and retrieval.
Franco’s approach also aims at effectively restoring those parts, by
returning luminous talents, allowing their harmonious integration in
accordance with the client’s intention.
Participants will learn to use healing tools that allow them to continue the healing work autonomously after the workshop, providing a solid basis for more advanced practices. They will also be introduced to Pahai Interdimensional, the recent emanation of astroshamanic work.

Restoring the Fragmented Heart, 5-6 October 2019, Lunigiana (Massa, Italy)
5-6 October 2019, Merizzo (Massa, Italy), Restoring the Fragmented Heart, with Franco Santoro
This is a unique workshop in which you will explore relationships from a spiritual, holistic and shamanic, as well as pragmatic perspective with the aim of healing connections with partners, relatives, friends and significant people in your life.
Relationships are gateways into other dimensions, whatever and whoever we have separated ourselves from. They can be very challenging at times, for they shed light upon all our denials and fears, forcing us to come to terms with who we truly are.
Through tracking and releasing blocks to our capacity to love and identifying the underlying issues that hamper relationships, we can promote healing, fulfilment and peace.
We will employ astrology as a map to identify and explore experientially the dynamics of our relationships. We will use astroshamanic tools for healing and soul retrieval aimed at acknowledging and restoring the full spectrum of our true holistic nature.
The workshop is designed for all types of relationships, encompassing couples in intimate or platonic connections, partnerships in work, service or spirituality and rapport with friends and relatives. Participants of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome.
The weekend workshops start at around 10:30 on Saturday and end on Sunday at around 6 pm. It is possible to arrive earlier. It is possible to stay one or two extra days for individual work with Franco.

Search for happiness
Do you seek happiness, pleasure and success in this world, yet your results keep being poor?
Do not get upset. You may be in the wrong world. Here happiness, pleasure and success are very scarce and when you do find a little it rarely lasts.
You’re not here to find happiness, pleasure and success.
You are here to find discontent, pain and failure and you are also here to turn them into happiness, pleasure and success.
Admiration & Love
Do not confuse admiration with love.
People can admire you because you are beautiful, intelligent, successful, skillful, wise, powerful, etc. Admiration is mainly about enjoying someone and being entertained.
When they admire you, they can say they love you and can also fall in love with you.
You can understand the difference between admiration and love when you are no longer able to provide entertainment or someone else can do it better than you.

Talents & self-esteem
Your greatest gifts are often related to something that causes embarrassment, shame or in which you perceive yourself to be a failure. The main problem with the expression of your gifts is your lack of self-esteem. The paradox is that the more people have great gifts, the more they tend to have a low self-esteem, so that they rarely manage to express them. On the contrary, those who have a very high self-esteem often have mediocre talents, yet they are able to offer them without inhibitions and be so convincing that they can even achieve success.
Don’t leave the world only in the hands of boastful and untalented people. Discover and offer your talents, no matter how low your self-esteem is.

Blaming and cowardice
Pain, crisis, illness, loss, death are all natural facts of life. You did not cause them nor were they caused by others. They are an inevitable part of natural life in this world. Of course, they can be very cruel. But the greatest cruelty is blaming yourself or other human beings for something that depends neither on you nor on them.
Blaming yourself and others for what causes pain in this world is the greatest form of cowardice, because it underlies the malicious fear of holding the Creator or Mother Earth responsible, only to preserve the lure of their goodness.

Animal guides
In many forms of traditional shamanism there are references to animal guides or power animals. This can easily be corrupted by romantic and intellectual notions.
The animal guide relates with our ANIMAL nature, which includes the sexual and instinctive nature. The animal guide represents the mystery of what we have removed from human awareness due to all our major taboos about life.
When you meet or feel an animal guide in a vision, in a dream, in a shamanic journey, dance or other circumstances, please DO NOT go straight to read about the meaning of the animal.
If your intention is to meet an animal guide and get to know it, what is the point of meeting it and then turning to books written by men to find out its meaning?
Relate directly with the animals, ask them and receive the answer not in your head, but inside, in your body and heart, in your energy. Let the animal breathe, live and move inside you. Then later, once you’ve grasped the nature and power of the animal, if you’re curious, you can document yourself using books or other sources.
But remember, no one can tell you the meaning of the animal. The animal has no meaning, the animal is an experience and only through direct experience you can understand it. But to understand who the animal is, you need to get rid of everything you think you know, of all the definitions and prejudices you have attributed to the animals and the animal in you.
If you are not willing to recognize and accept your animal nature, you will never understand the animal guide, but above all you will never understand your spiritual nature.

Attractions
What happens when you feel strong attraction towards someone?
When you feel strong attraction towards someone, that person may be a projection of a lost inner part of you, which you need to retrieve.
Every strong attraction may simply show you this. Through attraction a deep part of your soul draws your attention through someone.
The verb “to attract” means “to draw towards oneself”. When you feel attraction you are drawing towards you. This is because at an inner level what attracts you is a part of you. At this level attraction is always legitimate.
So here it is not about giving up attraction, repressing it, or feeling embarrassed, confused, anxious about it.
The attraction comes so that you can acknowledge what needs to be drawn towards you.
Accept the attraction, for this is the first step in retrieving your wholeness.
What instead requires caution are the operating methods you use to respond to an attraction, how you draw towards you what attracts you.
Here it is essential to distinguish between the projection of what attracts you and what actually attracts you.
This is the hardest part!
For example, you see the picture of someone’s body and you’re attracted, but the picture is just a picture, and you attracted by the body in the picture and not by the picture. So far things are pretty clear.
However, once you actually meet and see that body which was in the picture, are you really sure that what attracts you is the body?
All that attracts you in this world may be the representation of something existing elsewhere.
In the end we may be here either to ignore or understand this.
Truth
We can find many ways to prove the contrary, but the sheer reality seems to be that nobody knows the truth about the actual meaning of earthly existence.
What appears pragmatically certain, although even here we can find many ways to put it differently, is that every individual eventually leaves and never returns. Perhaps this is what happens when the truth is discovered.
