Laura Plato & Denise Sheehan<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Saturday, Laura Plato<\/a> and I shared our ceremony, \u201cWalking the Shamanic Reiki Way: A Wise Woman Ceremony.\u201d What a delight-filled day full of goddess empowerment, joy, love, fun, peace, expansion, faith, harmony, ease and so much more! We had so many takeaways that I wish to share, but first I will offer just a wee bit of my process leading up to our big event.<\/p>\n

Imagine\u2026 feeling the deepest stirrings of change and transformation deep in the bones, a sense of all that\u2019s comfortable and safe being stripped away, along with a sense of slipping-foundation where I thought I may build\u2026. where all confidence and self-esteem seem to fly away\u2026 where all that I\u2019ve lovingly created over many years feels as if it\u2019s mutating beyond recognition with each breath. Well, that\u2019s a pretty dramatic description, but there you have a sense of the last several weeks for me!<\/p>\n

What I found in that journey \u2013 well beyond doubting my right to be a wise woman \u2013 is the core of me, my essence, the one who is willing to be daring, take risks, BE even more authentic in each moment. I found my willingness to be seen, to be relevant. I thought I had all that. I truly did. And then I found another layer of BEing. Then yet another. All that felt lost to me returned many times over, and then again… so amazingly profound!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prior to this lovely journey, a wonderful sister-from-another-life and one of our Reiki students loaned me a book, which I finished reading during my preparation process, Anna, Grandmother of Jesus: A Message of Wisdom<\/em> and Love by Claire Heartsong. This book, conveying the mystical principles behind the Yeshua, or Jesus, story, spoke to my heart, literally, in such big ways! I found myself undergoing a higher-heart attunement, as I explored deeper into the story. Much of the process above I attribute to the burning away of all within me that is not Love (especially the barriers to self-love), as a cherished gift of my attunement. I am sure that the synchronicity of this book\u2019s arrival, congruent with the preparation for the ceremony, was divinely orchestrated. Aho!<\/p>\n

Our ceremony included many components, including shamanic and Reiki practices, creating goddess crowns, going on a shamanic journey to embrace our as-yet un-manifested wise woman, taking our intentions to fire ceremony, and so much more. We co-created the ceremony specifically for us, our process, our needs and desires so that it felt deeply significant and personal.<\/p>\n

So what does it mean to me, to be a wise woman? This was my meditation beneath the fullish moon prior to the ceremony. I feel more prepared and willing to lead with my heart and intuitive knowing, being more balanced and harmonious with my intellect. I feel a deeper bond with the energies of the moon and earth, that I may freely exchange energy and knowing with them. I allow myself to feel at-least-as or more \u201cproductive\u201d in the empty spaces of discovery within than I do in the state of checking things off of my to-do list. I feel myself more in alignment and oneness with the wisdom keepers of the Sacred Mountains, able to borrow and share the wisdom of the ages. I surrender my life more deeply to the Divine, walking in faith. I think of the beauty way, of aligning my life more synchronistically with shamanism and Reiki, as expressions of the Divine, pathways leading me bit by bit, step by step. I am willing to allow the journey to be one of discovery, a blessing, an evolution \u2013 often more in motion when I am in stillness. I feel called into a deeper, truer way of being, to allow enough stillness into my life that mythic-me may be born anew. I feel a new way of creating coming into BEing, using alchemy along with or rather than practical strategies. I feel a bigger dharma\/destiny dancing into my awareness. Bring it ~ with ease!<\/p>\n

Here are just a few more random takeaways which you may find useful on your own journey:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. We stepped into this awareness: \u201cI dwell in Love. I am Love. I serve Love.\u201d We illuminate and activate this by pondering, \u201cWhat would Love have me do?\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Remember as a child, riding in the back seat, with sing-song voice, inquiring, \u201cAre we there yet? Are we there yet?\u201d This knowing feels like part of our divinity: We may never be \u201cevolved,\u201d and yet we are. We may never be \u201cenlightened,\u201d and yet we are. We may never feel \u201cready,\u201d and yet we are. GO!<\/li>\n
  3. All wisdom is worthy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In what ways to you embody that, whatever gender you identify with?<\/em><\/p>\n

    In what ways can you more deeply honor your wisdom?<\/em><\/p>\n
