Embracing Peace
What is it to come from a space of peace? Most of my life I thought that the word peace was a flat an empty concept never to be obtained.
Coming from a contained space of being an only child to a narcissistic mother, and a disconnected father, peace was not something that came along, unless I was sitting in my sacred shower having transcendental experiences.
I simply listened to this inner voice telling me to sit cross legged in the shower stall, and transport myself to my own personal waterfall. My earliest recollection of that was around 6 to 7 years of age. I still have this practice very dear to my heart! 
I never understood what I was truly doing. I just knew that that was the only place that my mother could not occupy. I knew that the sounds were drowning EVERYTHING around me via these divine molecules of water that were completely immersing me in the space of peace. I didn’t know that I was sitting in Easy Pose, as we call it in Kundalini Yoga. I was simply listening to my heart and could feel myself rejuvenating, reprogramming my thoughts, and stepping into “nothingness.” I didn’t know that I was in astrology a triple fire. My sun sign is in Sagittarius, now that I moved here from Brazil my rising is in Aries, and my moon is in Leo. I have the three flavors of the fire signs. And the element of water translates to complete inner and outer peace to me, as I ground in this delectable element. Water cools down my inner-fire. Very shamanic if I may say so…
Because I was not very conscious of the value of what I was doing for a long long time I forgot about my shower practices. Throughout my teens into adulthood I suffered with IBS on and off on a weekly basis.

Embracing the Mystic within explained to me an enormous amount of who I truly am. It has made me trust my corkiness. It made me embrace deep compassion for my foibles, my lessons, and all the folks that are my ‘challenge teachers’ in real life. It has allowed me to initiate my understanding of myself and extend the unfolding of it with balance. And as I trust these processes for myself I completely trust these processes for all the people that I work with, and that I am in contact with.  I guide folks to understand their lessons and their greatest gifts, which a lot of times they completely pass by and don’t recognize whatsoever. I feel that this is one of my superpowers as a shaman. 
Believe it or not peace can reside as a spiritual principle in the most difficult realities. Working with these concepts not just as words or states of being has allowed me to see, to feel, and to anchor the potency of them as consciousness itself. It’s not something I have to go out hunting for, or seek in others. It is something that I fully open up within my sacred feminine ‘nadi’ to receive, to explore, in the deepest parts of me. And this way I surrender to peace when I choose to. To create the daily practices to be able to make these kinds of choices are then part of my responsibility to myself, and to stay highly functioning as a mystic, so that I may be in service to others. Letting go of control then means that I am fully in control.
I feel so peaceful writing this down and feeling the flow of all of the thoughts and the times in which I was very different, when I hooked into the chaotic and traumatizing moments in life. We all have them. As you read these words you might be also feeling into the ones in your life that have rocked your world. Now I am able to humbly bless every single one of those moments in authentic gratitude for the woman that I am becoming due to those teachings. Challenges are not going to stop because I have these practices in my life. And the trust that I can anchor whatever I need from within at any time is a tremendous comfort.
Everybody can achieve the space of inner freedom to embrace the beauty of peace. There is much exciting work to be done that brings you home to yourself. And you can be very intimate… as I call it, in bed with peace!✨❤️🔥🙏🏽
