Hero's Journey Wellness: The Hero's Library

Shadow work is learning to love all the parts of you - even the not so bright and shiny parts we prefer to hide in the shadows. The shadow is made of everything we're taught to dislike and deny about ourselves, especially as children. Since those parts are undesirable, we learn to bury it in our subconscious, yet it drives 95% of what we do. The conscious mind denies and represses the shadow, projecting onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own experience.

This course is for you if: you struggle with expressing your feelings; you have feelings of anxiety, shame, guilt, and unworthiness because of your self-sabotaging behaviors; you struggle with perfectionism and shame; you have a harsh inner critic; you always need to be right; you need to be liked at all costs; you feel that you're not good enough; you struggle with self-acceptance; or you tend to blame others vs looking at yourself.

Shamanic journeying is different than meditation. Meditation works with the subconscious; shamanic journeying works on a higher level of consciousness and allows one to enter the spirit world. Shamanic journeying focuses on using a spiritual connection to connect with helping spirits to heal the mind, deal with external stress, and understand the self and the world. By creating changes in the spiritual plane, those changes filter down into the physical plane. Personal development is easier and faster when you work with the energy first.

You'll have greater clarity and learn to trust yourself. Over time, your intuition will improve. You'll have a better relationship with your spirit guides. You'll raise your vibration, as shamanic space is in a high vibrational energetic plane. You'll have a better understanding of the underlying causes of your behavior.

You don't need to be intuitive or have any experience. You'll be using my connection to Spirit not yours to enter shamanic space. I use drumming and intention to bring you into shamanic space. At a certain beats per minute the brain produces chemicals that allow one to enter the spiritual world; as a Filipino babaylan shaman by lineage, my brain produces a lot of those chemicals, allowing me to bring others in. I create a safe, protected space there and invite your highest and best spirit guides in so they can share their information to help with your healing. Once they're done, I bring you and them out of the space and close it.

Forever. Keep the shamanic journey in your toolbox, so you can come back to it whenever you need support, guidance, and help with self-love or shadow work.
