Closing Prayer from the Navajo Way Blessing Ceremony

For those of you on the spiritual path, I have a secret.

What is left for those whom the only thing left is just to survive on a daily basis? I am seeing more clearly that what is left for them is way more than our prayers and "good thoughts". It is our concrete care, our active compassion, our support, our actions.

On Sunday, June 16th I am going to start living for ONE WEEK on a Refugee Food Ration. I just received the exact same Ration that is given weekly to refugees in camps. And it is so very little!

There is no word that can express the depth of wisdom and healing you will access if you dedicate 10 minutes a day to that practice.

One of the foundations of the prayers we use in our plant medicine work, and sacred ceremonies, is the call/prayer for Unity. One of the four main prayer to hold our space, our ceremonies, our lives. 

No one can tell you "how to pray and to who to pray"
No one can tell you "where your Church is or should be"
No one can tell you "their Church is better than yours"

I want to share a very personal story of pain & breakthrough and also talk about what I feel is “a monster in the room” in the spiritual community “Money is not Spiritual”.

What will be left if all our churches, temples, tippees, forests will be burned down? Each other. Each other. And a time will come when we will build again those places. Restore our forest. Rebuilt stone by stone the symbols of our faith. Together. All together.

Years ago, I stumbled upon the root of the word "Ruach", breath in Hebrew. Studying ancient Aramaic and trying to understand better the scriptures and teaching of Christ in his own language.

How do we embody 21st century values of sustainability, social responsibility, new ways of working (remotely), and new ways of more horizontal management? How do we embody and communicate higher-wisdom of Truth and Oneness?

The Cree people use 15 poles to make the structure of the tipi. For every pole in that tipi, there is a teaching. So there are 15 teachings that hold up the tipi. Other Nations use 16 poles, and maybe more or less.

A Bat came to me and whispered some universal wisdom…

As the Equinox happen, the days and night length become equal and soon days becomes longer than night. It is therefore also the return of the Light that we celebrate. A fiery time of expansion. Fully supported by this powerful super full moon.

Walking from unhealthy Ego into the infinite Nature of the Heart

We are born from relationship. In the belly of our mother. From the Love of our parents. Desired or not, well cared for as a child or not, it is because of relationship that we came into being.

There is a very old Greek or Latin saying, which defines what a healer is. And that saying is "The Eye of an Eagle, the Heart of a Lion, the hand of a Woman".

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.
