So much Soulful Love went into the year long Shamanic training we shared together.  On a daily basis I continue feeling so nourished and touched by all the wisdom carried in this tradition and the warmth, support and inspiration of knowing you all.   I welcome Stephen’s invitation to come out of the closet ... also feeling a need to claim responsibility to share with the world this infinite wisdom we have received. The lineage is within us and will support us in our awakening and offering.

Though it has been easy for me to integrate these Shamanic wisdom and tools into my existing healing practice, I care to acknowledge that this ancient wisdom and lineage have helped me carry out my healing work with much greater confidence.  More importantly they have helped me claim a deeper connection to the Sacred.   Though I already knew my work was deeply spiritual, for many years I held back ... not revealing to my clients the many ways I was delivering healing, fearing that showing up in my full expansive Soulful Self would scare the mainstream person :).   Our shamanic training and witnessing the gifts each of you carry and revealed, really helped me choose to not play small nor to hide who I really am.   As a result of this inner shift, my own practice has been experiencing a beautiful transformation:  the clients who now come to my practice are ready to receive exactly what I am ready to offer from my deepest core.    

I also want to share that giving up my United Nations job 10 + years ago - the aura and the benefits of working in such setting - was not easy.  It took a long time of processing ... But once I did gather up all the courage to respond to my heart’s true calling to be a healer, Life supported me and my family for so many years, quite abundantly.  For this is what happens when we say Yes to our true calling:  

“True healing is a journey of the soul.  A commitment of self-renewal and illumination.  An alchemical process of overcoming the shadow states within to awaken your inner radiance.  The whole Universe lights up with pixie dust as you claim your highest calling.”  Consuelo :)

There has been so much skin shedding since we started this Shaman journey together.  It takes so much courage to let go ... Right now I am cultivating greater presence to my own Heart’s calling to write a book and paint.  Carving balance between giving/ healing - something I am familiar with almost to a fault ... and Self-Love.

I look forward to hearing from all of you!   I love You and miss you!
