Some of My Biggest Lessons.
23/2024
Hi. This is Rolando. Now that I have shared with you my healing journey, I want to share with you the insights, the lessons, the awareness that came from it. As I mentioned before, Shamans go through a deep healing journey so we become the cartographers for your healing journey. We have been where you are and have experienced all you need to experience in order to heal. So here are a few lessons that opened up for me:
1. Disease is not who you are. Most people tend to become identified with the illness they carry. You could hear it when someone says "I'm diabetic" or "I'm depressed". Although it could suggest a current state of health, I AM also suggests this is my identity. When people become that attached to their illness, healing becomes a scary process because it threatens who they are, and because of the fear of not knowing "who would I be without it?"
2. The healing power is in you. We tend to place the healing power on a medicine, plant, doctor, healer, church, etc. It is your belief that turns that power on, then you can allow yourself to heal. If you're familiar with the Bible, when the ill woman touched Jesus' garment to heal, his response was "Woman, your faith has healed you". In other words it was her belief, not anything he did or gave her that healed her.
3. The issues that we have are not physical, we feel them physically. Your body is a physical manifestation of what is going on in your Mind, your Soul, and Spirit. Even our words and actions can only be congruent with what is in those higher levels. Trying to address our issues from a physical level is like trying to fix a blurry movie by wiping the screen, instead of adjusting the lens of the projector.
4. Integration is key. We always suggest that you do something to help integrate the work that we did into the other levels. We could get lost in the beautiful feeling of the higher levels, however, we still have a body, we eat, exercise, pay bills, etc. So we want to make sure that we create a connection so the body can begin to manifest congruently. The sooner the better.
5. We are one. As I sat in the woods, observing nature, I noticed that ants, spiders, ladybugs, etc. they all crawled around the ground in all directions, even walking over each other, coexisting. I always grew up with the concept of bugs and animals wanting to bite or sting me, so I would kill them before they did. But really, they're just walking around their home, our home, Mother Earth, with curiosity, not always looking for food. So we are all one and the same, it is us who make up the separation.
6. There's Medicine in Silence. Sometimes we use talk as a distraction, a way to disconnect from the experience we're having in the moment. When we're able to be in silence with ourselves and be with our thoughts, we can access more wisdom that we can imagine, that can help heal the pain we carry inside. When we're able to be in silence with another person, we can create deeper connections than with words.
7. Energy is all, all is energy. The entire universe is made up of different expressions of energy. There's energy that lights up the screen of your phone, there also energy that holds up every atom of your phone together, there's also energy that makes up the atoms, etc. And each one of us is not only made up of energy, but also have the capacity to influence energy.
8. Water is important. IYKYK. ;)
9. Earth is our Mother. Yes, there's a creator who is our Father. You may call him God, Allah, Yahweh, Universe, Source, etc. He created the entire universe, including the Earth, and us. And we are made up ONLY of the elements found on Earth. We don't have elements from Pluto, or moon dust from Saturn in our bodies. Oxygen, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, etc. all are from the Earth. So, we not only belong here, we are made up of her, we are her children, and she provides us with everything we need: air, water, soil, food, etc.
10. Shamans clear ourselves of our own baggage. This way we are able to tune into your specific needs. So we don't work only with knowledge (techniques, protocols, pathologies, etc.) but also with intuition. We become like a hollow bone to be able to listen to the needs of your body, your mind, your Soul, and Spirit, and then provide what's missing. We also become able to see and/or feel Spirit in everything, and allow ourselves to be guided by Spirit.
I am now clear that I was on this path for a long time, I just wasn't aware of it. In 2013, I worked on a client who had arthritis in her hands so her fingers were always in the same "clamp" position and wouldn't open more than 1/2 inch. I felt called to simply place my hands on the skin of her forearms and wrists and hold it, feel, and "listen". After a few minutes I would ask her to move her hand. At the end of the session she would have better range of motion and less pain. After about 4 months of doing this weekly, she was astounded that she was able to use her fingers to separate the dollar bills in her purse. She had not been able to do that in years!
About a year later I repeated the same "technique" with a woman who came to see me because a trailer had fallen on her hand many years ago, and after many surgeries she had lost movement and sensation in her thumb. After a couple of months she regained full range of motion, there was no pain, and she thoroughly enjoyed being able to click on and off the pen on her desk.
These experiences were foreshadowing the upcoming attractions. I can see now that I had began working with energy without really knowing what I was doing; all I knew is that I was connecting with them with love and healing intention. In addition, the softness I was bringing to their rigid bodies was what was missing. And I'm grateful that when I asked them "Can I try something?", they would always say "Yes".
Of course there have been people who wouldn't say yes, or would do it without faith. And I was unable to help them. So this is why I say that belief is a crucial component of your healing experience. Whether you believe you can heal or you believe you can't, either way you are right.
So, I invite you to come and experience healing on a deep level. I'll do my best at delivering that experience applying all the lessons I have learned. And, in order for it to be fully effective, you also get to throw yourself fully into the experience. You and I, together, can create something truly magical. Let's clear the space for a powerful healing journey on 2025, so join me this Sunday 12/15 at 2:00pm on a Full Moon Fire Ceremony to release 2024.
