How To Find A Shaman

Shamanic healing is a method of spiritual medicine that predates psychology and modern religions.

In the Shaman’s worldview; depression, chronic illness or terrible luck might be due to lost power. Dissociation, PTSD, immune problems and addictions might be due to soul loss from a traumatic event. Or there might be spiritual blockages causing illness which need to be extracted and removed.

A Letter To The Women

All the best women I know are single.

They're smart, caring, strong, bold, beautiful, funny, successful, and alone. It's not for lack of trying- they have spent buckets of money and even more time working to be the best possible version of themselves and the best possible partner they can be. These women are better men than the men I know. And the only thing they're doing wrong is that they're doing everything right.

Secret Weapons For Wounded Healers

In my blog post, How To Be A Shaman, I mentioned that Shamans know how to work with all different kinds of people. Those who think with their heart, their gut, or their head.

Reading To Awaken

As a kid, my Mom used to take us on trips to the library and let us pick out books. I loved those trips to the library, but I hated reading for school. I have always had a deep hatred for authority and the task of having to read killed the joy in it for me. Once reading for school became required, reading by choice became a rare occurence. Even once I was done with school, my love of reading never really came back to life.

How To Be A Shaman

I hesitated to write this blog post because I am very aware of the optics. What business does a little American girl like me have in writing about shamanism? I have not gone on any vision quests, I haven’t traveled into the Brazilian rainforest for an ayahuasca ceremony, and I have not been initiated into realms of ancient secrets by any wise old healers.

8 Magical Ways to Remember Who You Are

If you’ve been following me already, you know I’m a huge fan of MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator), which is an assessment that identifies your personality type out of 16 different possibilities.

Some people are really resistant to these labels, and I can understand not wanting to be put in a box. But personally, I have found MBTI to be extremely helpful in reclaiming my identity.

How To Use A Toxic Relationship As Fuel

Finding my way through the fog of a toxic relationship was like realizing I was in love with a ghost. He wore the mask of a person he could have been, but that person died a long time ago. Mourning the death of someone who is still alive is an anguish that comes for your bones.

The INF Directory

For most of my life, I’ve felt like an alien. That all changed when I started meeting other empathic, highly sensitive people. Interestingly, most of those people are INFJ and INFP personality types. Now, I still feel like an alien, but I have other aliens to talk to who actually understand me.
