I took part in the workshop this morning, and I had a successful journey for the first time ever :) Whenever I've tried in the past I've always been held back by overthinking: is this working? am I good enough? am I doing it right? why don't I see anything? am I relaxed enough? I've been very encouraged by Anthony's advice: release expectations. It might take some practice, and that's okay. It's just a skill. Everybody experiences the journey differently. So I let go and allowed, and the journey unfolded. I met a spirit, got guidance, and went for a ride. I tried their guidance today when I went out into the world and it was awesome. All thanks to Anthony's very practical and loving guidance. So, thank you :)

Anthony, thank you so much for sharing this time with us. Feeling like I have a lot to learn but I am excited to continue on this journey with you and the group and I hope to get to know some of the group better in the process. I had a very moving experience even though I was unable to get all the way to where my helping spirits were. At first I felt lost and was trying so hard to get through the dark and the obstacles when I felt more than heard a voice telling me that where I am is ok for right now and it's okay to try again later. Looking forward to joining the premium path and learning more!

Some things we will cover in the Free Live workshop on Friday. The problem of not knowing what your healing gift is causes stress and doubt for many people. Not having the methods of the shaman's journey leaves you disconnected from spirit and without the direct and powerful guidance you can get when you are in relationship with your spirit teachers. If you continue to absorb other people's energies because you lack the boundaries and method to create powerful spiritual protection, the shaman's journey will get you in relationship with your spirit teachers so you can create what's needed for you as you begin the unfolding of your healing gift. These are two important topics we will cover on Friday Dec 19. Make sure you are in a place where you won't be disturbed during the workshop. Have an eye covering available for the journey portion of the workshop. I want you to get to a place where your gifts are nurtured and you are nurtured to move forward with grace, with commitment to yourself, and with a fearlessness that creates new ways of how you show up in the world! See You Friday!!

I know we are on many different points of our personal spiritual journey. Today I want to start this conversation about what I call the Wounded Empath. It's important to know you are not broken - you're just unprotected. Let's look at this closely - You've probably been told your whole life that you're "too sensitive," "too emotional," "too much." Maybe you believed it. Maybe you tried to toughen up, to care less, to build thicker skin. And it didn't work. But here's the truth that the mainstream world doesn't understand: Empathy is a spiritual gift, not a personality flaw. The problem isn't that you feel too much. The problem is that you were never taught how to manage the gift you were born with. It's like being given a high-performance sports car with no driving lessons—of course you're going to crash. Wounded empaths are people with a genuine energetic gift who were never taught: - How to tell their energy from someone else's - How to seal their field so they're not a sponge for everyone's emotional garbage - How to be compassionate without merging (with other’s energy) - How to use their gift consciously instead of being used by it You're not weak. You're not broken. You're just operating a Ferrari with no training manual. So in the coming weeks we'll unpack more of this. But for now I want those of you who are in this camp to look at the following areas and - give yourself some grace - simply look and see what the cost of living as a wounded empath has cost in these areas: (Dont' beat yourself up - just look and see) These areas: Relationships, Career, Health, Self Trust, Your Gift Please post here and share about it which I highly recommend. You can journal about it. Sharing here gives others the chance to see we are not alone. Your story told consciously and from a place of vulnerability and not victimhood will help others and help you. We're not judging. We're listening, we're healing, we're supporting.
