Did you hear the news?
I'm pregnant again...
Oh my goodness did you read that right?

Well it's too late for human babies but never too late for new creations.

For those that have been in this space for more than 3 years will remember me sharing that I was gestating 3 new creations (triplets) back in 2019. Beautiful collaborations with Shine Your Light and my Spirit team (specifically the 13 Grand Mother Moons).
They were:

🌱The Thirteen Grand Mother Moon Ceremonies
🌱The Wild Feminine (Healing the Sacred Womb) Masterclass
🌱Yoga Series

We are here again. Every 4 years my business seems to go through a new metamorphosis that always includes a gestation period where the caterpillar has clearly entered the pupa stage and turning into mush.

I'm going deep into introspection, inward contemplation, receiving downloads and details of a shamanic mentorship program that will be birthed in late March early April, more than likely around the Spring Equinox.

If the shamanic path is something you've always been fascinated by and have a strong desire to know more, learn more and serve in this way, then simply click on the button below. That action will put you in a separate email list and I will make sure I connect with you personally when the time comes to birth our new "creation" entitled

"Thunder Bird Spirit Medicine - Shamanic Practitioner Mentorship".

Aho!

My Liver is On Fire
Back in January of this year I found out that my liver was operating at 52% of it's capacity. This was shocking news to me. I knew that I wasn't feeling great, but had no idea that my liver was struggling so much.
I sought out some alternative healing and was prescribed some "Nutrition" to support my liver. I've been supplementing my body with an assortment of plant medicines to help my healing process.
At the beginning of November I enrolled in 2 courses with Elsa Janney (she was featured in our Community Highlights in our monthly Spirit News a few months back.
One of these courses is called "Live Life Akashic". It is a fascinating course that teaches you how to step into your soul's library, quantum field, body history, etc. Honestly the list is endless of what and why you can tap into this knowledge.

I decided to enter into my Akashic records seeking to speak to my liver and let it tell me what it needs, how I can help and how can we support each other.

My liver showed me that it was on fire. 5 fires to be exact. Now in the Ayurvedic teachings they say that a liver has 5 fires. It breaks down and filters so much for us. But what happens when the fires are too hot? This is what my liver was trying to tell me. She's too hot. She's over worked. Her efficacy has been compromised. There has been too much "sludge" around it. I found out that she was riddled with candida and it's been an ongoing battle to eradicate candida and bring my liver to a beautiful balanced health.
Just a few Liver Functions:

• Removing toxins from the blood stream
• Producing bile to process and digest fats
• Converting sugar into glycogen as an energy store for the muscles
• Synthesising proteins and cholesterol and keeping blood cholesterol balanced
• Produces blood-clotting factors
• Stores essential factors like iron, copper and Vitamins A, D and B12
• And much more.

As always in my healing journey I look to the Macrocosmic world to see how it reflects back to me in my inner Microcosmic world...
Last week I found out that my liver, although it had improved over the course of the year has now taken a turn to the worse. The day after that news I awoke in the middle of the night to a furnace that was not working. The Fire was out!

Do you think my furnace and liver are in cahoots with each other?

Well the culprit to the furnace was a filter that had not been changed for over 2 years. It was so dirty the air could not get through and that caused the furnace to overheat and shut right down.

Pay attention to the signs they are all around us!

I don't want a furnace shut down and I definitely do not want a liver shut down.

So I'm taking this WAY more serious. Here is what I am doing:
💗Using LifeWave patches for a liver protocol
💗Supplementing with nutrition
💗Eliminating certain foods like anything deep fried, and sugar
💗Drinking dandilion tea, ginger tea and chaga tea
💗Spending time in the Akashic with my liver and checking in for what it needs
💗Resting as much as possible
💗Fashia release movements
💗Block therapy
💗Bioresonance
💗Sending Love as many times as I think of it

If you have any suggestions, I'm open to receiving them into my awareness.
Aho,
Carole

Continuation
…The introduction to Reiki opened a magical door! Once I stepped through it, there was no turning back!...
 
Initially my why for learning Reiki was to feel relaxed. I felt I needed to take control of my broken self and put myself back together like I Humpty Dumpty, one piece at a time. The Reiki training was the beginning of my journey of pursuing a wholistic health.
It was an amazing beginning.  I encourage anyone who's reading who can relate to any of what I'm saying in my last 2 blogs to follow up and learn something new!  If you decide you want to embark on the healer’s journey, you will want to empower yourself first.  We need to learn the tools that we can apply for ourselves.

I signed up for Reiki Level 1, and a few experiences from that class left an imprint. There were at least eight or nine students in the class, and we were all at the teacher's apartment. Deborah (the teacher) taught us the theory, the history, and how this energy therapy works.  For the first time I learnt that I was more than my physical body.  This wisdom was earth shattering for me.  It was a big WOW!  To learn that I was more than my physical body, that I had an emotional, mind, and spiritual layers was something so strange, so unfathomable.  I had no idea, or ever heard of this concept.  I learnt about chakras, these energy centers and how they could get clogged up. The wisdom, the experience of this class was mind bending.

One of the exercises that we did was to play with an energy ball.  It was a way in which we could put into feeling what we could not see.  Humans tend to have to see to believe.  In this case we felt to believe.  It was a perfect way to demonstrate that we were more than our physical bodies. We rubbed the palms of her hands together to create friction between the hands and then we would take the hands apart slowly to feel the edges of the energy ball.  We would play with it by moving the hands further apart and closer together.  This was the first time I consciously felt energy.  

Deborah had us partnered up with someone where we had to be cognizant of our own energetic field and the other person’s field.  We did this by walking slowly into each other’s space with our eyes closed.  Deborah asked me to assist her in this demonstration. She placed me at one end of the apartment, and she was at the other.  I was blind folded, and she had slippers on her feet to not make a sound.  Deborah says to the class: “Pay attention and let's see where Carole can feel me”.  I sat with my eyes closed and my back to her. She slowly started to move towards me.  I don't think she had taken her first step and I felt her. I could feel her energetic body.  I was so surprised how obvious it was to me.  Deborah asked me to turn around and take off my blindfold.  There she was at the other end of the apartment and she’d only taken one step.  Seriously, I thought she was right behind me.  She had barely even taken a step.

Deborah explained to the class that I was extremely sensitive, that if I could feel her from all the way at the end of the hallway, I was extremely sensitive.  To think that I could feel other people’s energies from. 20 feet away.  This knowledge about myself was a game changer.  A huge WOW WOW moment.  This nugget of wisdom about myself started to answer lots of questions for me about my life, my choices and most importantly how I desperately looked for ways to shut off, dumb down, numb all these energies I was feeling from other people around me. I came to realize why, as a young adolescent I made lots of bad choices of the substances I put in my body, alcohol, narcotics, sugar, and junk food.  This was my coping mechanism of absorbing all of these energies around me, anger, sadness, happiness, anxiety, loneliness.  I was feeling what others were feeling and I did not know that it wasn’t mine!  I was unconsciously numbing out, everyone else is pain that I could feel around me. I knew nothing about discernment back then. 

Learning Reiki Level 1 was a massive self-discovery of the incredibly beautiful, sensitive being that I am. I'm so grateful for it. After I completed Level 1, I went through a bit of a body detox.  I broke out into a rash and had some minor cold symptoms.  I then noticed a shift.  I quit drugs and reduced my alcohol intake. I started to make better food choices, joined a gym and worked out. I even noticed that certain friends moved on. My circle of friendship was changing. I was healing. Although that could be uncomfortable, and confusing, it was necessary.  And it certainly has played a huge part of who I am today. What I am. What my magic is, and what I am here to offer today. All these incredible experiences came to me with Reiki Level 1.  Wait till I share more stories of my journey!
 
Stay tuned….for part IV.

Have I ever told you my story of how REIKI introduced itself into my life?  It's a beautiful story…and of course, divinely timed. I would love to share it with you.
I was in my mid 20's and life had dealt me a series of traumatic experiences in my early twenties. I’m not here to share the traumas in this post but to put it into context, I will say the state of my body was in extreme stress. I was date raped at 21 and later abused by a partner whom I lived with just over a year.

My mom decided to treat me to a pedicure, giving me an example of how to self-love.  Mom always had a knack in finding these unique self-care places for treatments.  We were in a lovely, intimate spa on Des Meurons in St. Boniface, Manitoba for a pedicure treatment. Although I don’t remember the name of this spa, I do remember that their logo was a butterfly.  For whatever reason, when we arrived for the treatment, I found out my pedicure was cancelled. But they offered me a Reflexology treatment instead.  Many of the details of that treatment are fuzzy, but what I do remember is this: A man giving gave me the treatment and towards the end of the session, he asked me if it would be okay to give me some Reiki.  My response was, “Reiki?  What the heck is that!” Whatever this man told me at the time must have satisfied my comfort level as I said, “Yes, go ahead.” The cool thing was what happened next:  I experienced this DEEP sense of RELAXATION! 

You might think what is the big deal about feeling relaxed.  But it was a big deal!  I spent most of my time in hiding from an abusive ex-partner.  I was in constant high alert. I was worried when he would come for me. I felt like I was in constant flight mode.  So, feeling relaxed was a very BIG deal!

Let’s fast forward to my late 20's, quickly approaching the big 3-0. Life looked very different. I was living in Winnipeg with my husband in our perfect house, with our perfect dog and the perfect truck.  I had great aspirations of climbing the corporate ladder and wearing the title of Management so proudly.  Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?  Well, here is the truth from the outside looking in: I was living the perfect life.  But if you are reading this blog right now you KNOW that is never the full TRUTH! Life is full of illusions.

The truth is I was MISERABLE.  My inner world was in a real shamble. My mind was filled with worries, fears, doubts, self-sabotaging, self-loathing, low self-esteem, low self-worth.  I had absolutely no LOVE for myself back in those days.  I continuously made bad food choices and drank lots of alcohol for the sake of having a good time.  Those good times always ended with a horrible hangover.  Don't get me wrong. There were many things going right in my life, but my outer appearance was not in alignment with my inner life.  I truly was not in a good place.

One of the benefits of working in a large corporation is their health and wellness benefits.  For me that was yoga.  This beautiful yoga teacher by the name of Deborah came into my life.  I started attending her yoga classes and quickly realized how much stress I held in my body.  I truly was very disconnected to from my whole body.  Deborah came to class one day handing out pamphlets. She was offering  other classes and they were--you guessed it—Reiki.  Thoughts came flooding back to me of how I had experienced 10 minutes of bliss from the man at the spa who did a Reiki treatment that to my feet all those years ago.  Yes…I was curious.  So, I saved up the my money and registered for my first Reiki class.  That first class was eye opening! , and I was absorbing the knowledge like a sponge.  There was so much truth flowing through my body., and I learnt for the very first time I was made up of energy!  Wow!

Well, as we like to say, the rest is history.  I’ll share more as of this story has as so many stories are tangled together like a fine silk cloth.  Stay tuned for more…on my journey with Reiki.
