Scared to SACRED

Are we in 3-D, 4-D or 5-D? The answer is all of these and then some.

We're hearing a lot of talk about dimensional shifts, planetary convergence and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. But what does this really mean for YOU, personally, and how do you know what dimension you're currently experiencing?

I was recently interviewed for a book about fifth dimensional women and I love the questions she brought up during the interview. I said if I had to sum up fifth dimensional experiences in one sentence, I would say 5-D is all about living in the synchronicity and sovereignty.

It's not that synchronicities don't happen in 3-D life, but they become the norm in the fifth dimensional experience. Personal sovereignty over our bodies, minds and emotions is the baseline of 5-D. In a 3-D, existence, it's typical to give our power away, feeling separate and divided.

Keep in mind there's no judgement when we speak about these vibrational states because we are ALL existing in all dimensions. Therapists and healers will get this because you know how many different kinds of states you can experience while doing a healing session. We are all multi-dimensional, holographic beings.

There's no reason to judge our own vibrational state or anyone else's because we hop into different dimensional realities al the time. My near death experience helped me to understand dimensions and how we operate within them.

Do you know your spirit animal and totems?

In this episode, I share just a few of my stories of how I connect spiritually and learn from the animal kingdom. . If these encounters hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't believe them!This introductory podcast also offers tips for getting started connecting with your own power animals

How do you connect with your spirit animals?

First, notice if you are drawn to a certain animal for no reason or if you have encounters with a particular creature. It can be helpful to look up what characteristics that animal represents from a shamanic teaching perspective. My favorite reference for messages from the animal kingdom is Animal Speak by, Ted Andrews. 

https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Speak-Spiritual-Magical-Creatures-ebook/dp/B007GAYNLY

 

Second, if you just happen to receive gifts with the likeness of a certain animal or if people know that you have a "thing" for a particular creature, chances are that animal represents qualities for your spiritual growth.

Third, you can work with your power animal and spirit totems with guided meditations that facilitate your connection to the animal realm. These sessions are called power animal journeys.  I will be facilitating a full week of animal medicine teachings in my upcoming Shamanic Empowerment Course, EXPANDING SACRED.

In addition, you can support your communication with the animal kingdom by booking one-on-one remote sessions for facilitated power animal journeys. Guided shamanic work with a facilitator deepens your connection to every kingdom of nature. Contact me for more information about personalized remote sessions at [email protected]

Finally, I'll be offering deeper podcasts on Animal Spirit Medicine. This episode is just a little introduction where I share some crazy stories that deepened my trust in my own shamanic practice and enhanced my appreciation for animals.

Empower yourself with nature

I have a simple reminder for you. Never underestimate the power of spending tine in nature. Let the lessons and wisdom come to you naturally.

What is a totem?

"A totem is a spirit being, sacred object, or symbol of a tribe, clan, family or individual. Some Native American tribes's tradition provides that each person is connected with different animals that accompany him through life, acting as guides.

Different animal guides, also called spirit guides and/or power animals, come in and out of our lives depending on the direction that we are headed and the tasks that need to be completed along our journey."-www.legendsofamerica.com

God is always speaking to us through the kingdoms of nature. All we have to do is pay attention and listen to the messages. Here's a way to decipher between a message and a warning from the animal kingdom. When an animal presents itself to you alive in nature, this might be a message from Spirit. However, when an animal is dead on your path, this could be a warning.

In conclusion, you have the ability to know and connect with your spirit animals. Are you listening to what nature has to say to you? What messages are you receiving from the animals? What is your favorite spirit animal? I'd love to know. Leave a comment below!

New podcast name for expansion and change

I am excited to change the name of this podcast! The new name, Expanding Sacred, is also the name of my shamanic online course. This name reflects the spiritual growth that is taking place in all of us. We are no longer scared.  It is time for us to expand and make each day sacred!

How to Work with Plant Spirit Medicine-An Introduction

Join me on a wild ride of being educated and transformed as I show you how to work with plant spirit medicine. In this podcast, I share how these wise plant energies teach me and help my clients when they show up in sessions.

So excited for my upcoming Shamanic Empowerment Course! We will delve deep into the plant kingdom allies along with gemstones, animal totems and much more. Check out my new online course Expanding Sacred here

Educate yourself and get clear on the difference between flower essences, herbal oils, essential oils and herbal remedies. Flower essences are powerful healing tools for empaths and energetically sensitive people.

A Shaman once told me, "herbs heal the body, flowers heal the emotions, mushrooms and cacti heal the mind".

Check out Elliott Cowan's book Plant Spirit Medicine for more information. www.plantspiritmedicine.org

You can start working with plants on an energetic level by incorporating flower essences in your work.

Check out www.bachflower.com for info on Back Flower Remedies

Practice strengthening your intuition by going on a flower essence product site that feels good to you and intuitively feel what flower would be right for you right now. Flower essences are like energy healing in a bottle. It's very empowering to continue your energy healing by working with a plant at your own pace. I don't have just one site that I use, but here's a reputable one I can recommend: www.floracopeia.com

Sacred Sexuality: Releasing Energy Blockages by Prioritizing Pleasure

Julie Wilson Gordon teaches how to eat intuitively and tune in to our bodies. We discuss food as energy and sacred medicine. Join us for a timely discussion about healing our relationship with food and building our immune systems like never before.

Learn how to FEEL what to eat instead of taking an intellectual approach to nutrition. When it comes to the dilemma of what to eat, this excerpt from Machelle Small Wright's book sums up the message of this interview-balance, awareness and respect.

"Everyone’s balance is different. And everyone’s balance changes as one goes through different stages. Not only is there no one, hard set of rules that can totally achieve physical balance for any group of people, there’s no one hard set of rules for any one person. We simply have to approach this whole area of physical balance with intelligence, discovery and flexibility.

The life cycle of a plant wasn’t ended at the harvest but continued through the preparation and eating process until the plant life became an integral part of the human life cycle.

We must understand that the animal kingdom, as well as the plant and mineral kingdom, is a willing participant in the physical life process of man. Our insensitivity to this has broken many of the bonds between men and the animal kingdom regarding this issue. The health and balance of the Earth depends on humans functioning as fully spiritualized beings. Once we understand the relationship between humans, plants, animals and minerals, we can develop processes that reflect and enhance this understanding. We must remember that the life process doesn’t end with the “harvest.” There is no death-only transition." Behaving as if the God in All Life Mattered by Machelle Small Wright www.perelandra-ltd.com

Now is the time to take back your mind and use your emotions as a powerful energy source.

Your thoughts and emotions are an energy resource. Are you using your energy to make your life better? Is someone else harnessing your energy and using it against you?  Many of you know I took a long break from social media in order to get clear on if it's really possible to use social media platforms in a healthy manner.

Social media is a lot like money, it is simply energy that can be used for evil and destruction or it can be used as a force for positive change. In this podcast episode, we discuss strategies to "take care of your light" as the Hawaiians say.

"Malama Pono"-means "take good care of yourself" or "protect your light" in Hawaiian.

The easiest and quickest way we can take better care of ourselves is to stop allowing suggestions of violence and oppression to penetrate our subconscious through "entertainment", which is really mind control. It’s a tough pill to swallow that everything we have been fed as entertainment has been a slow drip of conditioning to trauma and violence. And why are we ok with watching oppression and violence? Most of us start to become sensitized to programming on movies, TV shows and commercials the more we meditate and expand our consciousness. If you haven't already woke up to protect your mind from these manipulative forces, today is the day!

It's easier to talk about shifting energy than it is to actually do it. This short podcast is a casual chat about the reality of how to transmute energy with resources to help you get started.

When we explore the link between creativity and healing, death becomes more sacred and less scary.

Join me for a deep conversation with my friend, potter, art teacher and healer Bonnie Hitchcock. We explore how creativity is the most basic form of healing. We have the power to transform our experiences of death into something beautiful. Exploring creativity also brings us closer to the ones we love. Those who learn to die well enjoy life more. This is the story of how playing in the clay can bring people closer to themselves, closer each other and deal with difficult transition.

"Creativity connects us to our soul."-Bonnie Hitchcock

Show Notes:

*Art therapy is like energy healing and bodywork sessions because it's all about the soul's connection to creativity. In these moments, we are transported to what's real.

*How a seemingly simple arts and crafts project can bring a family together

*Find your inner five year old: why playing and remembering how to be creative is important to our health

*How to get over your fear of art and why it's scary to be creative

*Journey Boxes: a healing piece to help us transition through death; a connection to the other side

Kick start positive change-create your own ceremony and ritual. Create a container for your intention.

Carrie Hamilton of XO Wellness talks with me about utilizing ceremony to harness our intention. Want to make a shift? There's no quicker way than to put action steps behind your intention with sacred ritual.

We recorded this episode immediately after connecting with our friend group for a Spring Equinox Ceremony. We had planned to get together and celebrate the arrival of spring like we do, then quarantine hit. So we got resourceful, planned a Zoom call and went along with the plan. We came away from our time with our friends so encouraged that we wanted to share some tips with you. You can make your own special rituals and ceremonies to harness your intentions.

*There's no wrong way to do ceremony and ritual. Just bring your authentic heart and be real.

*You do not have to appropriate any indigenous culture or custom to have an effective ritual. Be creative and remember how powerful you are.

*Start with time to catch up and share.

*Bring an offering for reciprocity. An offering of your breath can be a sacred gift.

*It might feel scary to be vulnerable and open in a sacred way when it comes to sharing and that's OK. Ceremony connects human beings like nothing else and provides us a chance to let our guards down and take our masks off. There's nothing to prove or hide in a sacred container of prayer and ritual.

Check out my article on The Importance of Ceremony and Ritual. I hope you empower yourself to BE the change we all need right now!
