20+ years ago, I was told I could end up in a wheelchair if I continued being so active.
I refused to accept that & decided to find a way.
I felt guided to go to Guatemala, where I met my teacher, the Chocolate Shaman, and had the most profound experience that changed the direction of my life. I worked with him for over a year, learning, healing and reconnecting with a wisdom within me that I had spent years overriding.
l’Il always be grateful for what he taught me and for the role he played in my journey.
It has been a road of twists & turns, many highs and lows. but through it I have learnt so much about myself and how to meet each challenge with strength, faith and love.
Life has continued to teach me that my body is not the obstacle, it’s the messenger.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I can be firey and very reactive at times- which has an impact on stress levels over time and isn’t who I want to be. I am a very deep person, and can carry the weight of the world on my shoulders- constantly worrying about the state of the world, feeling like i need to take action to help, a natural activist - constantly fired up about the injustices in the world. All of this just slowly etched away at me and my nervous system over time. Which was a huge revelation in my work with cacao.
Now I’m learning something different. What if we don’t have to push against ourselves to create the life we want? What if we can follow what lights us up? And from that place be the light for others… 💓✨
Create from flow. Listen to our bodies. Trust our own rhythm. And still go after our big dreams, that’s what I’m learning now.
Not to play small & I’m not giving up, but I have definitely decided that forcing a way forward is not for me. And I’m finding the way that feels right for me now.
Our natural rhythm isn’t something to fix.
It’s something to follow.
As always, I share my huge gratitude for my teacher, Keith Wilson, The Chocolate Shaman. In his memory. For all that he did for me, the wisdom he shared and the deep healing he guided me through
