When We Ask, Spirit Answers

There are moments in life when something deep within us becomes clear.

A quiet knowing rises beneath the noise of everyday life.

We realize we are ready for something more. Ready to understand why we are here. Ready to follow the path our soul has been whispering about.

Sometimes, all we have to do is ask.

Show me.

Guide me.

Help me remember why I am here.

Recently, I did just that.

I set an intention that Spirit would guide me toward my destiny and my soul's mission. I asked to be shown the people, opportunities, and connections that could help me bring what I feel called to do into the world.

And then, Spirit answered.

It happened on an airplane.

I met two people who, in a remarkably short time, offered exactly the insight, encouragement, and practical guidance I needed. They helped me see possibilities I hadn't been able to see clearly before.

There was a time in my life when I didn’t know if peace was something I would ever feel again.

I was living inside a marriage that slowly changed the way I saw myself, my life, and my future. These were difficult years—years of trying to understand what was happening, trying to hold things together, and trying to find my way back to myself.

And somewhere in the middle of it all, I found shamanism.

Shamanism didn’t make the difficult things disappear, it didn’t give me a life without loss, grief, fear, or uncertainty (well eventually it did, but the early stages were about overcoming the fear and uncertainty.) But most importantly what it gave me was a way to walk through those painful experiences without losing the deepest part of myself.

It taught me to listen differently—to natur...

As part of many Shamanic cultures a person is called to be a Shaman by their village or tribe when the person chosen has faced death and lived to tell about it. 

The tribe believes the spirits took mercy on the healer and helped them live with the agreement that they would heal others with the help of their power animals and spirits. It became a working agreement between the Shaman and the Spirits.

Part of my path as an Energy Healer and Shamanic Medicine Practitioner started a lot like these chosen Shaman.

A childhood filled with both physical and emotional abuse, sexual assaults and finally a near death experience where I lost every ounce of blood in my body and then some, woke me up enough to understand life was about more than I had been struggling with.

It took a near death experience to help me recognize that there is more to our existence and I hadn't been using my rightful power, although admittedly it took years before I would truly understand how to use it. 

All that tim...
