Freedom

It's been a while since I wrote another blog.
Just because I'm a Shaman, doesn't mean I'm done working on myself. I believe one's core issues will never disappear; instead, the intensity it brings to one's life diminishes with time and work and it becomes the inner teacher and guide.
A core issue is constant, always present, always asking for one's attention.
When one pays attention, accepts it, and recognizes the valuable opportunity it brings to wisdom and maturity, one understands it's purpose for being there and stops acting out the pain.
When one recognizes the core issues in one's life, specially a Healer's life, compassion and presence develops not just for the Self but for others.
I have done a lot of work on myself, releasing layers upon layers of pain and suffering, each time making more room for my true self to come home.
Interesting thing, numerologically, I'm a number five life lesson. Freedom is what I came here to pursue and achieve. Freedom to be, to speak, to have absolutely no ties to anything or anyone.
There are so many aspects to the meaning of freedom. Just when I thought I finally did it, another aspect comes up for me to accept, integrate the lesson and release.
It's like the Universe says. "well, lets see if you can go deeper now and figure this one out.."
Ha...
