As my teacher often reminds me "the ceremony start when the ceremony ends". Meaning every time we finish a sacred ceremony together, it is when the real ceremony start, what we call LIFE.

Despair, I know you too well

When you come with your long shadows in my darkest nights

Trying to suck every living part of my Being with your deadly vampires’ teeth

Why consent? What is consent? It is an agreement made by two persons to operate together within a set of rules, within the wheel, where both persons agreed and are willing to stand together within it. I

Sometimes the inner sea seems very calm and yet in the depth of the Ocean, the Earth (Body) is still shaking and wide open, bleeding and screaming. Those who carry Trauma know too well those moments of unsettling peace, where the deep echo of the Trauma is still resonating.

Relationships are going through a complex cultural shift. Expectations on intimate partnerships are at an all-time high, yet we lack the tools and resources to reach this new Olympus.

Every human being has this big question in mind: Who Am I?

And one of the biggest struggles is to know how to make a real living out of it.

Our capacity to feel safe in the world is a direct consequence of our capacity to feel safe in our bodies. If my body hold trauma (physical, emotional, spiritual) I will have parts in me that do not feel safe. And those parts will “speak” by telling me “this is not safe” even if there is nothing in that specific moment that is truly unsafe.

Being able to be heard, seen, and to allow others to be heard and seen. Only in that space can we create safety, and real true connection, the foundation for deep intimacy. And in a world of global ecological and systems collapse, the only thing that is going to save us, is each other, in deep, honest, emotionally intimate, connections.

I want to offer you here a way to reconnect to your cycle. Your Nature. Your wilderness. The inner beauty of your inner wisdom. As by doing so you can reconnect to your innate power, and your innate capacity to Heal.

A powerful tool to guide your decisions. We all know it. Some of us are very in touch with it. Some do not trust it and go more into their mind. Who is right?

When I launched The Sanctuary Podcast 2 years ago it was a major stretch to my edges to share my voice, publicly. I was scared. I wanted to keep myself small. This week it just reached 10,000 downloads. But that journey was not without fears, shame and pain...

It is when I can feel it all, so I can hold it all, that I truly learn what it means to be human, and where I can build steady resiliency for the rollercoaster of life.

The act of entering an ecstatic trance state is called the soul flight or shamanic journey, and it allows the journeyer to view life and life's problems from a detached, spiritual perspective, not easily achieved in a state of ordinary consciousness.

Getting to know One Self is the capacity to let go of everything you were assigned at birth with courage and determined willingness.

The stories we have about our health and well-being are like prayers. When we tell our body "I can't do it", "I am sick", "I miss that person", "I would prefer that kind of life", "I am afraid", all of those statements carry an energy, a vibration, they are a prayer.

Be Grateful, Be Thankful, Be Joy, Be Love, Be Blessed, Be the Blessing 

One of the prayers that keep coming into my path is the necessity of Unity. To build "bridges" with "others" as I feel it into my heart.

I like to reflect on the meeting of my soul, my ego, my identity, with God, the creator of the whole universe, the Great Spirit.

Start now, where you are
Start now, with who you are

I write mainly for the great pleasure of writting. For years I felt shy, ashamed and that what was coming out of me had no worth. It took a great deal of healing, shadow work, self love and courage to open my blog. 

The veil is thin. Samhain is here. I can feel the shadows so close.
I can see them coming before and beyond the Light.

Some days the world suffering and pain can be very overwhelming. If you watch the news you might be drawn down and brainwashed into a culture of fear, scarcity and violence. Yet there is another path.

Happiness, Success, and Liberation happen as a by-product of being fully in your Heart and your body.

At one time everything was dark. There was nothing. But there was a spirit in that nothingness, and it would have remained that way, but the spirit fell asleep. As he slept, he dreamed. He dreamt of a world: mountains, sky, the ocean, all of the fish in the ocean, all the birds in the sky, all the trees, the deserts, all of the animals on the earth.

Men and women are often stretched between two needs and cravings. The need for the Pirogue, which is the life journey, the travel far from the Ego Self, and ultimately the need for the destruction of the limited self as it is known. On the other side is the need of the Tree, of being rooted, of knowing our identity, our center, who we are.

Every time you are feeling you are not loved enough it is because there is a lack of self-love within you.

The addiction to pain run so deep in your body that you will pursue situations and behaviors that you know have created pain in the past…

If you come to me as a victim I will not support you.
But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.

Our human thinking brain usually refuses to do this trauma reset, aka "discharge." We're too fearful of the fierce shaking and the scary flood of our own natural aggression we might have to feel--without acting it out.

If I experience self-rejection, I will be afraid of rejection.
If I experience conditional self-love, I will be afraid of unconditional Love.
