https://youtu.be/MDAnvu_UkOQ?views From my YouTube channel. I think it's an important conversation to have. I'll be creating a workshop around this topic. I’ve been thinking a lot about the wound of belonging. The ways we learn to make ourselves smaller. To fit in. To be acceptable. To keep parts of ourselves quiet because somewhere along the way, we learned they weren’t welcome. And sometimes this wound goes much deeper than our own story. Many of us come from families where pieces of our history were simply never passed down. Traditions disappeared. Stories weren’t told. Languages were lost. Difficult things weren’t talked about. That can leave us with a strange feeling of disconnection: Where do I belong? One of the things my own spiritual practice has taught me is that family silence does not necessarily mean the end of something. Sometimes it means something went dormant. And part of our spiritual work may be remembering. This is one of the reasons ancestral work and shamanic journeying have become so important to me. Not because I want to recreate some romantic version of the past, but because they give us a way to explore what still lives beneath the silence. But there is another piece of this that I think comes first. Before we ask the world to tell us where we belong, we have to learn to belong to ourselves. To be able to stand in our own life and say: I belong here. I belong to myself. I do not have to shrink to earn my place. That doesn’t magically heal every wound. But it changes where we begin. So here’s the question I’d like to leave with you: Where in your life have you been shrinking yourself in order to belong?

I've enoyed a few days off during the Labor Day holiday in the U.S. It was good to unplug and hang out with friends and be in good company while letting my online world chill for a few days! Now I'm ready for a new week and new opportunities. Let me know how you are doing. Let me know what you're working on. And let me know how I can support your spiritual growth. Drop your comments and questions in this thread.

I recorded this on Friday, August 28. This is a healing for all of you -- for whoever needs it at this time and in the future. Remember when we work with our helping spirits, we are working outside of space and time. Our helping spirits know what to do. Listen to the rattle, allow yourself to receive. Call in your helping spirits as well.

How many times have you started and then stopped calling yourself a healer?

Early this morning just before I awoke, I had been dreaming. I don't recall the dream, but as I started drifting back to wakefulness I heard someone say, "You have healite traits". Curious what that means and if healite is even a word, I looked it up and discovered that it is an LED light therapy for healing, regeneration, and cellular recovery. I often find myself marinading in self-doubt, but yesterday, I asked for reassurance that I'm on the right path. I would love to hear any of your insights if you have any. Thank you 🙏🏼💛
