How The Journeys May Impact Your Life

Journeys—whether shamanic, flower guided, energetic, or otherwise—are about traveling, not getting to a destination. 

Although every journey is different, they often have one thing in common: they expand your consciousness and energy.

How this translates in each person’s life, will vary greatly from person to person.

When I started journeying more frequently, I noticed a few new things that me (and my clients’ too) began to experience: 

  • A deeper internal peace–a dropping away of always feeling rushed, overcommitted, or like I did something wrong 

  • An increased ability to rest in the present moment and not try to change, transcend or fix it 

  • Less getting caught in stories like “I never get what I want” (but everyone else does!) or thinking I need more, more MORE, good stuff!

  • A greater compassion and gentle witnessing of old patterns in me (and others) 

  • An increased ability to stay with the deep feels, judge them less and return to regulation in my nervous system

  • A dissolving of the need to hold it all together, aka control myself (and manage others!)

  • Less apologizing for my needs, being ok with saying no and living with a greater resolve to do what is best for me

  • An increase in presence and heart connection to my kids and an allowing them have their own journey

  • A dissolving of the desire to figure everything out and allowing the answers to arrive through intuition, inspiration, or body-knowing instead

  • A deeper love and appreciation for this temple called a human body and this life

  • A falling away of the constant self improvement operating system and deeper connection to our innate wholeness.

  • A greater comfort in living in the unknown, uncertainty and mystery of life

  • Increased desire to be in nature and allow myself to be nourished there

  • Losing who I thought I was and uncovering who I actually am

  • A shifting to a totally new orientation what it really means to be productive

  • An ability to hold myself in all the messiness and know when to ask for help

  • More courage to stay in the fire and less tendency to run away

  • Getting more comfortable with cosmic rebirthing–an awareness of parts that were dying and being rebirthed

  • Experiencing more beauty, joy and wonder from simple things in my life

 Something to note: These things were not goals that I set out to achieve or get, but rather experiences that just started dropping in —unfolding naturally, like a blossoming bud.

Who Can Benefit From This Type of Work?

  • Find yourself often bending, flexing and adjusting yourself—aka overly accommodating—to make sure others feel okay. 

  • Have worked on your traumas and want to step more deeply into a lifestyle of being

  • You often think you did something wrong.

  • Don’t believe that you really can feel good—or that some big sacrifice or effort must be made to have anything good happen.

  • Feel like it isn’t OK to take up space.

  • Long to be held and guided

  • Find yourself being overly mindful of everyone else… and worrying about how or what I did might affect them.

  • Say yes, when you might really want to say no.

  • Overgive and feel worn out or resentful about that

  • It’s hard to let go of relationships even if they are no longer good for you. 

  • Work hard or always try really hard and feel tired of that.

  • Have poor boundaries and want to find your voice

  • Want to experience a new way to feel supported because you have tried ALL the other therapies, and you’re done “processing.”
