"The language the spirit understands is ritual, archaic language- motion, symbols, ceremony...
You need to go to this deeper level for healing."
~ Basil Brave Heart, The Medicine Wheel (the movie)
Change. If I were to use a word to describe the themes of late, this would be it. Whether you are initiating it – or it feels as if it is happening to you, and is currently undesired, change, undoubtedly, is in the air.
Transformation. What happens when we don’t resist change, but rather surrender to it and partner with a Higher Intelligence.
Resistance. Denial. Fear. The contrary energies that attempt to disallow the transformation that is occurring within you, your thinking, and your life, often for reasons beyond your current understanding.
Wonderment. Awe. Openness. The supporting energies of awakening to the voice and vision of a higher intelligence that is seeking to be the guidance in all areas of your life. These are the bridges into the awareness of your unique role in the larger picture of what is asking to be transformed at the individual and collective level.
My Lakota elders remind us that we are transitioning out of PTANYETU (autumn), which translates to “TURNING OVER,” and moving into a time of WANIYETU (the time of winter), which translates into “BREATH.”
We believe that all animate beings move through 4 distinct stages, 4 aspects of the Soul, yet Western wisdom has not always addressed (or cultivated) change from this perspective. I speak briefly to these stages at the end of this audio. You can also listen to it here as you continue to read this article...
Much of what I know, practice, and teach today has been influenced by the sacred knowledge and ceremonies practiced and passed on by my indigenous teachers over the last decade. Most are not shared in public forums, or the audios and articles shared with the general public.
As we often remind folks, “this is not a tourist stop,” to collect souvenirs or novelties. These teachings are sacred, and we must be responsible with how we share and use them.
Many of you saw an example of how indigenous teachings and ceremonies can be “adopted” and applied improperly, with grave outcomes, as was experienced in the recent tragedy in a Sedona “sweat lodge” ceremony by someone who (in my understanding) was neither “trained” or authorized to facilitate these ancient rituals .
For those of us on a traditional indigenous path, we understood that the teachings and rituals were misapplied, probably with good intention, but without the knowledge and consciousness needed to truly honor these sacred traditions and the ways this medicine is passed along.
In a recent conversation with one of my Lakota elders, I was reminded of the “medicine” I was recently given, and the purpose I am to live. As I received his words, and was given a few ceremonies to initiate some changes I am making, it became even more clear (and somewhat ordained), that this level of work is becoming even more important – and can only be passed on in a sacred way.
These ways are given through much preparation, to the "right" people (who truly resonate and commit), and through a deeper surrendering to my own emerging forms of service.
So, much of what I do and teach is reserved for those committed to an exciting and expansive path, one of…Awakening the Healer Within…which is beginning with an orientation on December 15th at www.powerofmyway.com/awaken.html (ONLY 3 SPOTS STILL OPEN!!!)
Initiation, Activation, and Transmutation
The challenge that so many of us have is related to traditional coaching methodology and other cognitive/behavioral change processes is that they do NOT ADDRESS the SOUL, ENERGETIC, and SUBCONSCIOUS LEVELS.
So, changes appear to be temporary, or lack the depth needed to fully root and ultimately blossom (and fully ground) into the beauty of our lives.
Initiating a SHIFT requires an ACTIVATION of your inherent capacity for self healing and the transmutation of energy held within your body, mind and spirit.
For many of you reading this, you already have an awareness that you are being prepared for a larger role in the emergence of a higher consciousness. The outpicturing this heightened consciousness will inspire in the details of your life and the service varies.
All transformation requires a new way of thinking and believing. You may not know exactly what your role (in this new emergence) looks like, but the longing you are experiencing has been growing. And, it may appear that “old stuff” and patterns are re-emerging, things you thought you had dealt with, or resolved.
Most importantly, the areas of your life that are not a match for this next phase of your evolution and service are being shaken up and brought to the surface for healing, resolution and transcendence!
There is a term for this shaking up…it’s called CHEMICALIZATION…and I recently wrote about this (hope you read it) mystically obnoxious, universal process of alignment and healing. This process is what enables your return to an awareness of your ORIGINAL INTENTION for existence.
It might be related to an influence you are to have in:
· Transcending your past conditioning and the stories that have worn their welcome
· Your financial well being
· The healing of your body, your past, and old patterns that are no longer acceptable to you
· Your work and service
· Your family
· Your intimate relationships
· Your church, or the various communities you are connected to
· How you contribute to prosperity consciousness vs. lack consciousness
Consider yourself tagged as a much needed force in the ushering in of a new consciousness; one free of the fear and dependency that has been so well conditioned into our mindsets.
Millions of people around the world don’t really believe they possess the power to influence the changes that would lead to true, lasting transformation of their lives, relationships, and the world around them.
Many don’t even know that spiritually and subconsciously, they’ve given up, hoping for the best but expecting the worst, and countering positive change through negative expectation and unknown energetic and subconscious blocks to true, sustained healing.
For those that do know they power they possess, they are not sure HOW…
What’s worked in the past may even seem to be less effective – or less satisfying. And, as I shared in the quote at the top of this article, what they are doing does not go deep enough to create permanent change.
The short audio clip (above and at http://powerofourway.blogs.com) speaks to an important invitation – one you might not be aware is being made.
I share a small snapshot of what it means to live the life of an awakened healer – no matter your current (or emerging) profession or calling. Simply put, living the life of an awakened healer is about surrendering to “an integrated perspective that causes a different level of interaction with life itself.”
The process sets the stage for 4 vital phases of transformation and healing, regardless of the circumstances.
· Reconciliation
· Unification
· Integration
· Embodiment
You may sense you are being nudged (or prodded) to transform and transcend the thoughts and behaviors that have hidden you from truly embracing your potential. You are receiving invitations to heal old patterns, release tired excuses, forgive the past, and follow a path of an awakened healer.
