After the Yes!

So you have said yes to the Universe! Congratulations. Let the fun unfold! Now you will find that all that crosses your path has meaning and impact on how you unfold, what you decide and how you engage. Now you will see things differently and from a amazing new perspective. The horizon of your life's path has forever changed.

Your "No" will be limited now, as it will only be used for boundary setting, preventing energy manipulation and in seeking balance. You will no longer say no to things you don't like or feel like dealing with, because the wisdom of your yes is ready to embrace the lessons. You no longer are allowing your fear to keep you small with your "No" of insecurity.

You are ready to converse with the Universe. You are ready to give your soul voice. You are engaged and present, singing, dancing, honoring and witnessing. Your "Yes" rings out among the stars, echos through the mountains, dives deep into the seas and fans the fires of the Gods.

Your "Yes" awakens your trust of self. It sits beside your authentic truth. Your "Yes" clearly states that you are willing to flex with, to learn about and to release what is needed. Your "Yes" requires you to step aside and move out of your way. Your "Yes" tells your ego to relax about the change, that change is inevitable and beautiful and alive.

Your "Yes" opens the doors to the energies that flow to you and through you. Yes means that your awareness will be heightened and brilliant. Yes means you are willing to make mistakes, to play and explore, to pause and rest and to go deep and wide. Your "Yes" will become a way of life for you and you will one day look back and find it difficult to remember any other way!

The Soul And The Shaman

We all have the ability to heal ourselves. Not everyone knows how, but the ability is there, nonetheless. But there are times when we need to seek someone whose training will bring relief that we cannot uncover on our own. When it comes to the soul and its healing, there can be so many factors involved. The shaman is a healer of the soul, among other things. The shaman and the soul are able to connect in a way that is mystical, inspirational and real.

Being able to engage with the realms outside of what we call our life is the role of the shaman. Our vast Universe and our expansive life is made up of layers upon layers of energetic realms. It is within these realms that energies can get lost, trapped, bogged down or wounded. Our soul, when faced with tremendous pain, suffering, loss, trauma or fear, can often retreat in an effort to protect, to hide or to grieve. The roots to our soul loss can go deep into our life story and often we find it challenging to trace them to the cause of our unbalance on our own.

Science has proven over and over that true healing only happens when the body, mind and soul are all addressed. Physical healing is addressed when the body's needs are met. Mental healing happens when out thoughts are able to be in alignment with our body and soul's messages. And then there is our soul's healing. In our society, this is often the neglected part of the energetic flow of healing. Left unattended, the body may find a way to move forward, but symptoms will continue to present themselves, sometimes in the most creative of ways. And our mind will continue to create a story that will foster these symptoms and nurture the rationale of why we are feeling the way we do, why things keep happening the way they are and how we will never be who we want to be.

The shaman sees, understands and knows what the unseen forces of these realms can do to one's life. The connection to these energies and the soul of a client allows the shaman to work within these unseen realms to create shifts, to retrieve what has been hidden or traumatized, and to heal what has been broken. Working with spirit guides, animal spirits, energies, and ancestors, the shaman discovers how to work the story of the client so that healing can occur and the client can now be whole and their energies in alignment to step into the next place on their life's path with beauty and grace, joy and wonder and find relief from the struggle or the pain.

It is through the manipulation of this energy that the shaman can bring relief to the client. When the soul and the shaman engage together, energies that have been misplaced are found, patterns that have kept one stuck can be shifted and the wounded can be addressed, comforted, aided and welcomed back to a place of healthy wholeness.

Understanding that one's health is beyond just the physical, a shaman will explore the power of your thoughts and listen to your soul story to find a way to bring your authentic truth into the realm of living a fulfilling life that contains abundance of possibilities and brings beauty and awareness into focus. If you have ever wondered how a shaman can support you in the healing of your soul and your life's story, take that as a sign that your soul is reaching out.

Where Is The Balance?

We pass through many stages in our soul growth. The gates open for us and we pass through. Sometimes while we are in this process of learning something new, we are developing a blossoming skill, or we may be quieting down in the use of an one we overuse and we feel a bit of overwhelm and struggle with our balance.

As we step into unknown territory and begin new practices or release one's that no longer serve us there is a tremendous shift in our energies. Sometimes we gracefully move through this shift, but many, many times we find ourselves asking, "Where is the balance?"

Imagine learning the skill of using your words wisely to get what you need in life and not taking on more than you do need. We may find ourselves saying yes to too much. Or we may be saying no too often without giving it enough thought and looking at things from the many different perspectives. Hmmm, we need to find the balance.

Perhaps we gain a new tool to use in our spiritual practice. Our excitement and delight in this tool has us turning to it again and again with each decision or prayer we put forth. Our other tools sit waiting patiently for our return, even those that would so much better serve the purpose at the moment for us. Once again, we find we need to restore our balance and learn to select the just right tool for the intention.

As we learn to master our new skills, our tools, our newest practice we find that a tremendous aspect of the mastering is in finding the balance. Our soul will help us in this lesson. We just need to remember to tap into our inner wisdom and listen. We need to pause, slow down, consider, weigh and wait. With time it will be come clear what is needed. Our soul will help us to hone and craft the best use for our needs. We do not want to overcompensate or under use. We need to find our sweet spot in the process. That just right balance of energies, time and use. When we discover that finding the balance is also big part of the lesson we then find ourselves accepting that this is as well a wonderful aspect of our growth.

Silently Changing

After a recent conversation with a client I found myself reflecting on the different ways in which change enters our lives. It can run the spectrum from chaotic and loud to subtle and silent. I think there are times when we are in the place of silent change that we wonder if anything is happening at all. I think there are times when we worry we are stalled, not doing enough, lost or failing to move forward. But more often than not, great change is happening in the many layers that make us who we are, but in a very gentle and quiet sort of way.

So much of our changes in life require us to take action. We ponder what we need to embrace, what we need to release, what we are calling into our live or who we should interact with. But then there are those times when change seems to occur without little to no action taken by us. We are often awestruck. Did this change just gracefully move through our path and surround us?

The miracle of change occurs on so many levels. Our egoic self believes that we are the main cause of the active unfolding of our days, yet on a soul level the energies are in a continuum of shift, ebb and flow. It is in these realms that our thoughts do not need to interfere, our clumsy actions do not get in the way and our authentic truth steps forward to manifest what is needed next. There is magic in the silent changes as the Universe responds to our needs.

The power in this silent change comes from our trusting. Learning to let go of control and expectations. Being willing to trust in our guides, our connection to Source and our innate wisdom. Silently these beautiful powers are not in need of our intellectual direction as they are guided by our truths, our passions, our callings and our higher self.

So the next time you are wondering why there seems to be a lull. Relax, trust, and wait. Silently, within the wondrous layers that make you YOU, there is plenty happening. And all of it is bringing you to the exact place in time that aligns all that needs to be for you to make the most of your life and you truth.
