thanks for the posts; there are some interesting thing you have shared with us all here.
Regarding Tools:
All tools are to help you get your consciousness (thinking, feeling, intentions) to the level of vibration necessary for what you are trying to achieve. So with enough intention, belief, and focused attention there is ultimately no need for any physical tools; however anything can be a tool for any purpose because of shaman principle Ike: ‘Reality is whatever you think it is’. And it is not only fun to play with the different forms and use them to bring more awareness to our consciousness, but what ever tool you use for what ever purpose, it can help bring more conscious intent to that purpose, if intent is not strong enough.

Thank for your reply
I am wondering then "‘Reality is whatever you think it is’" if the tool is not something that the shaman needs, would it then be the case that it helps in the focus of the patient? That it is the patient that actually needs the focus to be able to see into thier own healing reality? That they would expect sensatialism or tools to be used and if they aren't then they set themselves to not expect or even want the healing to happen.

That is spot on. Also in most cases, tools are not only to create a shift in consciousness on the patient, but also to help create the shift in the consciousness of the shaman or practitioner. As a form that life has taken we can also have fun playing with other forms and one way or another these other forms are all tools.
Thanks again for you input, questions and sharing of your own unique wisdom. It's an honour and a pleasure to have you here on my forum.
Yours in Spirit
