  For the baby or young toddler, dandelion fuzz can be the tool for their very first natural magic. Dandelions grow in almost all areas and most of us are familiar with making wishes while blowing the fuzz from them at the end of their season. This is very similar to the wish-spells associated with blowing out birthday candles. Just as in any form of magic, belief and emotion are vital to the success of a dandelion fuzz wish and, with very young children, a parent may need to initially provide this.
  
  Dandelion Fuzz Wish
  Before going out to find a dandelion in fuzz, decide on the wish you and your child will be making. Then go outside with that wish in your minds and ask to be led to the dandelion that wants to help make that wish come true.
  
  Ask before picking the dandelion of your choice. When permission is given, pick it with a prayer of thanks. If your child is able, have him or her say thank you along with you as you pick the flower.
  
  Hold the dandelion by its stem and have the child hold it gently with you. An older child can hold the plant alone. Repeat the wish out loud. If your child is old enough, tell them to imagine the wish growing really big in their head. Then blow the wish out into the dandelion fuzz, and watch as it is carried off into the air.
  
  Tell your child that the wish is now part of the fuzz and the air will carry it to the Great Spirit or God and Goddess.

• Book Of Shamanic Healing (2002)
  This book is the result of decades or growth, learning, pain and healing. The great physicist John Wheeler once said that universities exist so the students can teach the professors. This holds true of any profession and healers learn a great deal about themselves through working with others. The credit for this book goes to all those people that have graciously taught me by coming to me for healing.
  
  My intent in writing this book was to provide an in-depth look at the healing experience in order to assist other healers and the people they work with. It is a manual of sorts for anyone using or wanting to get involved with shamanic healing. Throughout the book, I offer history, case studies, and relevant research along with first-hand examples of methods and suggestions.
