Healing has no shortcuts

We have just wrapped up our Basic Shamanism course which was a 1-month mentorship this time and I noticed that a lot of the participants seemed impatient and desperate to heal certain core wounds.

The enthusiasm is understandable. Putting our learning into action and “fixing” ourselves is why we learn healing modalities. But I also want to remind everyone that healing does not happen in one day.

We have to remember that we have carried these core wounds for 30/40/50 years now and perhaps even across lifetimes.

These wounds have become our identity.

Hence, the shedding of the skin, peeling of these layers, the journey of UNBECOMING will take time.

Some of us have been working on some core wounds and their different layers for the past 5/10/15/20 years. Every time we dig a different facet/layer shows up.

So it is important to be patient and while some of you are becoming aware of some of your core wounds, it is important to pace out your journey.

Expect miracles but don’t forget to be realistic.

What has taken hundreds of years to be, will take SOME TIME to be UNDONE.

Sometimes this journey of self love or unbecoming takes lifetimes.

If you are in despair and are desperate, are you being a hollow bone?

Could you rather ask, show me the first step – what is it that I need to do right now to transform/transmute this pattern?

What is the lesson that I am ready to embody right now?

And what baby steps can I take to integrate this lesson.

Then focus your energy on integration of these steps in the physical reality.

We all want to heal an issue energetically but we don’t want to feel the pain, process the emotions, change the beliefs, work on learning those lessons and taking ACTIONS IN THE PHYSICAL REALITY.

Not doing the above is like living in a fool’s paradise.

SITTING WITH YOUR PAIN, feeling it fully and processing it is as crucial as desiring to heal it energetically.

Healing has NO SHORTCUTS.

Not everything is about doing a shamanic journey.

Feel it to heal it.
