Shamanism: A Path of Love, Connection, and Remembering Who We Are

What if the path to healing isn't about judging ourselves, fixing what we believe is broken, or deciding what is right or wrong about another person's journey? What if it begins with something much simpler, yet profoundly transformative: love, connection, and a willingness to see the world with an open heart?

At its heart, shamanism invites us to remember that we are not separate from the world around us. We are part of the great web of life, connected to the Earth beneath our feet, the animals who share this planet, the plants that nourish us, the elements that sustain us, and the unseen mysteries of Spirit.

We are nature, too.

Yet somewhere along the way, many of us become disconnected from this understanding. We learn to judge ourselves harshly, compare our journeys to others, label experiences as good or bad, and believe that we must become someone different before we are worthy of love.

Shamanic wisdom offer...

This time of year is when spiritual happenings become stronger, the veil is thinning and it's a beautiful time to connect with loved one's that have passed on to the other side, some you knew, others you did not, yet they are there, loving and supporting you none the less.

The veil between the world around us and the spiritual world begins to thin with the Fall Equinox here in the Northern Hemisphere, when day and night are in equal balance. The weather becomes cooler and Mother Earth begins to slow down, she worked hard through Spring and Summer, Autumn then becomes the time to enjoy the bounty that has been grown. Mother Earth will then prepare for sleep as the Winter months come upon us, and the bounty is many because the people worked in harmony with her and now give gratitude and thanks going into winter stillness with full bellies, hearts and homes. 

This is the natural cycles of the Earth and us. There once was a time when people worked in harmony with these energies and...

Hey There Friend,

You want to go into 2020 feeling unstoppable right! 💃Awesome.

Here's what NOT to do:

• Start goals because you think you, "Have to."
• Continue beating yourself up for not reaching past goals.
• Hanging on to someone else's ideals and self imposed values.

INSTEAD you're about to take back your POWER. 🔥

Here is part 2 of the Empath Woman Awaken Ritual Series.

 Today, let's walk through 2 simple steps to recognize where your power is being taken away from you:

• Where you might be giving your power away.
• Which goals are truly yours and how to crush them without all the emotional baggage and guilt of the past.

This week is about empowering you with some serious truth, and a concrete way to stop struggling and get more of what you want.

You ARE tired of the struggle, RIGHT?

 If you're still struggling, it's because something within you says it's not okay to have it. 

Here's the FANTASTIC news about that!!!

It's exactly where you get to take back your ...

Hey There Friends! 

Hope y'all are doing amazing, right before I recorded this episode I went on a 7.5 hike with a buddy and laughed like I haven't laughed in years....and you know what, I was right in the middle of some serious relationship drama! 

I tell you this only because I always promise to be real with you, I don't want you to ever think that in order to share your wisdom and help uplift another person, you have to have it all together....the truth is we are all human having a human experience and are meant to grow. I personally want to grow and grow and grow...

Let's chat relationships shall we? 

When I talk about relationships during this episode I am talking about anyone and everyone you wish to leave that interaction feeling happy, full of joy and full of good energy, rather than the opposite.

If you are a yeller (or wish you could yell), sometimes over-reacting to finally feel heard or valued, then this episode is for you. 

If you have people in your life whe...

Hey There Friend! 

How is this full moon, Mercury Retrograding, high vibing week treating you?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling it.

You'll hear in this podcast how retrograde almost got to our recording, but we made it and you get to listen in because of it! (Although my brand new 4 month old Macbook Pro didn't survive!)

Let's chat boundaries shall we? 

Do you say, "Yes" when you really want to say "No"?

Or say "No" without guilt or explanation?

Do you hold space for yourself and show up for you the same enthusiastic way you do for everyone else? 

Do you feel overwhelmed with all you do, and don't seem to be getting where you want to be?

This week's podcast episode of The Empath Woman Awaken Podcast is about setting and keeping boundaries for a more aligned and blissful life.

Learning to set boundaries is one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself, so why then is setting them so hard?

Let both my special guest Whitney McNeill of Messenger of Spi...

Hello Dearest Friend, 

Today I want to teach you about uncovering your greatest gifts and releasing what it is that is getting in your way of living your best life, and serving at your greatest capacity.

At 82 pounds overweight I carried shame and fear, but not because of my weight.

Looking back I realize I felt those feelings well before I ever put the weight on with over-eating, and trying to numb out those feelings.

That shame led me to shitty boyfriends in school that abused me physically and emotionally. Did I truly understand my worth if I ended up in those situations?Or ended up in a religion that told me I had to have a husband to make it to the highest realms of heaven? 

I carried deep rooted shame, shame from inner parts of me that needed healed, not shame from my weight, my weight was simply a symptom of the shame I carried.

A couple days ago I had a healing session with a Shaman *gasp* to my Christian friends, this world isn't as scary as it has been made out to ...
