Embrace

“When one embraces its own gift, the opportunity portal opens up.” - Mai Ka Yang (MK)

My entire life I taught myself to be ignorant. To ignore the unsourced voices and the unseen energy around me. I no longer pay attention to the little movement surrounding me. I became pretty good at it to the point where the voices no longer called and no energy dared to acknowledge when we crossed paths.

This past weekend I had my very first outdoor training. I learned that instead of ignoring my surroundings I should embrace it because to hear is a gift, to see is a gift, to touch is a gift, and to feel is a gift. A gift not many are able to have.

As someone who has always been self aware one of my biggest challenge is continuous chanting. When I enter the spirit world even though I no longer see and sense that I'm at home I've never been one to fully allow my guides to speak through me for my entire travels. For one, I'm fully aware I'm still home and I know there are eyes and ears around me. For two, I still fear judgement. Never had I ever allowed anyone to hear my-self conversation.

This past weekend, in the public, I had to let go of that fear and self control. I practiced acknowledging the invisible people, feeling the energy, and listening to the voices around me. I interacted and greeted those around me. For the first time ever, in public, I've surpassed my usual chanting times and boy! it Feels good.

Through this experience I've learned that the most beautiful place holds the deepest sorrow. Never would I have imagined such a place to hold so many secrets, loneliness, and sorrows. Never would I have imagined such a place to witness such painful moments and be wet from so many tear drops and blood shed. From the earth spirits to lost souls, not many visitors stopped to listen to their pleading cries and lift them up. To release them and set them free. Instead, many come only to leave their sadness behind and to acknowledge the lost one.

Thanks to the spirit we encountered for sharing her story with us. Through her we had the opportunity to set many soul spirits free and I, personally, had the opportunity to learn what it means to be someone who is different.

Thanks to the special group of people I was with. For all of their time, wisdom and patience. I wouldn't have known what I know now without your guidance.

Now I can say I somewhat understood what my guides once says, "Ib tug txiv neeb yeej ua li no." (This is what a spiritual healer must do.)

Note: Hi everyone! Thank you for reading. To mark 2 full months since I have officially embarked on this journey I thought I'd share this with you all as it reminded me of a reminder from my guides as in "Remember, MK." I look forward to sharing more of my journey with everyone once June/July hits as I look back at the very moment I'd realized there was so much more to what I was going through.

Warm blessings to all!
