I am in the process of re-recording the materials for the Sacred Healing Journey - formerly the Healers Challenge. And as I was recording and making notes - I looked at the transcript and knew I had to post this here. Remember, our work is not vague intention. Our work is something real. Never forget that. If you're here, something brought you. And I want you to get honest with yourself right now about what that something is. Because it's usually not the logical part of you that shows up for work like this. The logical part of you has lots of reasons to stay exactly where it is. Stay comfortable, stay with what I already know, don't rock the boat. It's the other part — the part that has been quietly insisting for years that there is something here worth paying attention to — that found this place at this time. Our work is simple. But simple isn't the same as easy. That seems to be a universal law! We're starting with one act: acknowledgment. An act of recognition and awareness. Not proof. Not certainty. Not a fully formed identity as a healer. Just this ➡️ I acknowledge that a healing gift exists within me. That's the whole practice. And it will do more than it sounds like it will. There is one thing I've learned from walking this path for years — and from walking it with hundreds of people who came to this work confused, skeptical, burned out, or afraid: The gifts that go unnamed go undeveloped. So if you haven't done this - write it down today. In your own handwriting. The declaration that's in the training video --"Today I acknowledge that I carry a healing gift." Let it feel awkward if it feels awkward. Let it feel presumptuous if it feels presumptuous. Write it anyway. Then answer the three questions: When did I first sense this? What has made me doubt it? What would change if I finally believed it was real? Post in the comments when you're done. Not because you have to perform anything. Because naming it in community accelerates it in a way that naming it alone cannot.

A new member posted about being at rock bottom. It made me think a lot about many years ago and I was remembering the various times I felt that same way - at rock bottom - at different times of my life. Looking back at those times, I understand how many times I felt lost and was lost, without purpose. Other than trying to stay employed and do a good job that was about all I was up to. No big picture anything! In those instances, I see now that I did not have any tools for any kind of transformation or healing. The tools were out there. I didn't know what they were or that these tools could help me. It was really by chance that I ended up at a camping retreat that turned out to be a spiritual awakening for me that was so unexpected. Those first steps in a direction of healing were long and slow. I had years of slow walking my own transformation, but I eventually came to a place that I felt so at home with spirit. The return and reconnection was able to fill the void that I lived with for so long. So, yes we can hit rock bottom. But know there is a way forward. It can be slow or fast. But when we choose to begin the walk, the journey, life unfolds differently. Our job then is to try to be as awake as possible to recognize the healing taking place in us. Wherever you are right now - know that this space is for your healing. For your transformation. But you and only you can take the steps that will get you there.

Full Moon in Scorpio is Friday May 1, at 11:23 AM Mountain Daylight Time (MDT) Also known as the Flower Moon, this moon promotes balance between the physical, tangible aspects of life and the spiritual, mysterious, emotionally intuitive aspects of life. You may feel an internal pressure to explore your emotional truth, finally coming to terms with releasing something that has been in the way of your authentic self expression. There is lots of support during this full moon time for stepping into your power and setting boundaries against what has disempowered you in the past, especially with regards to relationship dynamics. We are excited to face the future with all its amazing possibilities but at the same time we are feeling some nostalgia around what we know we need to release before moving forward. It is a time where the theme of death and rebirth is alive and well. When something gets released there is space for the birth of a new idea, project, relationship, perspective, attitude, understanding, and way of being in the world. So wrap up those loose ends and strive for balance between what you give yourself and what you give others. From Lena Stevens - Shamanic teacher at The Power Path Seminars - School of Shamanism ========================================================================== I Love the power of the full moon. I find it a time of deep reflection and the surge of energy for me is always palpable. I use this energy to sharpen what I'm working on, and to focus even more on those things that need to be released in order to allow for that rebirth of energetic flow to move inside of me. There is something the full moon illuminates differently than the bright sun and I recommend using this time to honor the movement of time, and the cycles that propel us to a deeper spiritual life.

I just wanted to share how special it was for me to come to that moment where I said, "This is real. I'm starting NOW." I had no idea I needed a moment like that to really step into this new energy. Thanks a lot! 🫶🏾🌸✨ Many blessings to y'all this weekend! I'm taking a break from Facebook while I do this challenge, so this is my primary community. Namaste!
