More than a Healer with a Altar
"Your gift is to benefit you and to help others, not to be used against you..."
— Remember, MK Spiritual Team
From lessons to blessings to greater purpose.
Earlier this year, I shared a bit about the time my team asked me to take down my altar. I didn't quite understand it at first but then they told me it sets as a reminder for me. I will need to keep it up as long as I'm forgetful. Once I remember my duties the choice is mine to keep it up or take it down. Shortly after I was told this, something happened and I ended up taking it down.
The moment I took it down I felt an instant release from a heavy load of energies and karmic ties. Then my team said to me, "Your gift is to benefit you and to help others, not to be used against you..."
Before I started my spiritual journey I never anticipated having an altar. I never felt a need for one because I knew that the things I will be doing are away from it. But, I went with the idea anyway as I stepped into the unknown because it was a normal thing to do and for a shaman to have. The entire year I had my altar up there was always a disconnect, a void. Something was just missing or doesn't feel right and I can't seem to pinpoint what it is that was bothering me.
At the start of this year before my team asked me to take it down I learned that not all shamans have an altar. When I heard this it connected with me right away. Of course I was confused because not only did I have a temporary altar up but I had already been given visions of my master altar. Still I kept it up but its existence alone tied me to vulnerability and unrealistic expectations of what isn't meant to be my teams and mine to carry forth.
It definitely was a confusing phase of my life but I'm glad everything cleared out at the end. Yes, my team, my gift, and I am different but that's because everything does have its greater purpose.
To the many wondering questions of yours, yes I still accept reading requests and perform rituals. The rituals set up are still the same. As per guidelines and ways to pay respects to my team and I it'll just be a bit different.
To those of you that are new to the journey, don't expect it to be easy. It'll get harder as time goes on. The journey will break you down but it'll show what you're truly capable of.
I've said this before and will say it again. This spiritual journey isn't meant to be easy but it'll be worth it at the end for those of us who are open to learning and accepting.
Don't be afraid to be different. Embrace you, your team and your gift for what it is and be open to learning even if it doesn't make sense or resonate with you now. The knowledge will come handy when the time is right.
Never compare your journey to those of others, for your team and your gift are uniquely tied to you and your greater purpose.
May all be well with and for each of you.
Blessings ✨,
Mai Ka (MK) Yang
