Can you share a specific situation where you felt a deep sense of inner power and how it influenced your actions or decisions? What did you learn from that experience?
When I was studying for my undergrad I was also a D1 cross country and track athlete. I was a walk-on and after two years of working hard to become better, I ended up racing pretty well and asked my coach if I could receive scholarship money as that was said could be a potential if I improved. Feeling nervous about the meeting I got a go-ahead from the assistant coaches but the head coach denied me. It was challenging but I felt a deep sense of inner power and knowing that I deserved this and decided to look into other schools. I ended up getting a great scholarship to another school and transferred. Going to this other school led to a lot more growth and opportunities outside of running that positively impacted my life. I learned that I can ask for what I want and even if I don’t get it, if I follow through with my inner power there can be another opportunity around the corner. This was an empowering experience that was a great initiation into my sovereignty.
In challenging times, how do you tap into your intuition to guide your decision-making process? Can you provide an example of a situation where your intuition played a crucial role in the outcome?
In challenging times I try to give myself space for answers to arise. I often will call upon my guides to help me in my decision-making process. I feel into my body notice how I feel about the different potential paths and listen to the answers that arise from within. There are many times that I intuitively feel like I need to talk to a certain person or go to a certain place not knowing exactly why and it ends up being for an important reason. For example, a past partner and I were having a difficult time in our relationship, I intuitively felt that we needed to go to Sedona and that doing a past life regression would help us in our challenges. We ended up going to Sedona and when we were there I intuitively felt like we needed to go to this specific lady who was a hypnotherapist. We decided to go to her and not only did it give so much insight, clarity, and healing into our relationship dynamic, but it also led me to become interested in hypnotherapy. The practitioner that we saw spent extra time with us and I pretty much got the message while I was listening to her talk about her practice that I needed to become a hypnotherapist and that this would be a great area of study for me. A few months after this trip I ended up doing a training and becoming a certified hypnotherapist. I had no idea that this would be the outcome when going to see this practitioner. My intuition led me to Seonda, to past life regression, to this specific lady, which resulted in a great outcome of healing and purposeful study and career.
How do you define and nurture your soul celebration in your daily life? Are there specific practices or rituals that you engage in to connect with your inner self and celebrate your unique essence?
In my life I have a few specific practices that help me connect with myself that are super simple like doing a short grounding meditation in the morning, tuning into my body and noticing how I am feeling, and sometimes setting an intention for the day. Soul celebrations can look different from one day to another. I like to ask myself how can I nourish and celebrate my essence today. Some of my favorite practices and activities include drumming, dancing, singing, and being in nature. Once a month I meet up with a shamanic study group where we do drum journeys, and ceremonies and celebrate in a variety of different ways. Also about once a month I go to a women’s new moon circle where we do a ritual of releasing what no longer serves us and claiming what we want to call into or embody in our lives.
In a professional context, how do you harness your inner power to navigate challenges or conflicts? Can you share a specific instance where relying on your inner strength positively impacted a work-related situation?
Before I begin my work I present myself in my body, and ground, become an “empty vessel” and call upon my spiritual guides to help me in the work that I do. I feel in my power when I am present in my body and feel connected to my central channel. When conflict arises I breathe into it and allow the answer of how to act to arise from within me. For example, I have had multiple times in a hypnotherapy session when a client feels stuck or the energy feels stuck and we don’t know how to move forward. In these instances when I move away from trying to figure it out in my brain to being curious and feeling into my body and the intelligent power that comes from within the right path forward becomes more clear, we can navigate the challenge with more ease, and healing happens.
Describe a time when you had to make a decision, and despite external pressures or opinions, you followed your intuition. What was the outcome, and how did this experience shape your belief in the importance of trusting your inner guidance?
The first time that I traveled out of the country alone my family and some of my extended family pushed up against my plans to do so. I was traveling to what is considered a third-world country and my family was scared for my safety as none of them had visited this place before, yet alone traveled. I felt like going on this journey was an important step in my path and my spiritual and personal development. I followed through with my intuition, went on a three-month journey to Central America, and gained so much from this experience. It was one of the most empowering decisions I have made. Traveling alone I learned so much about myself and developed a deep sense of trust in my intuition. There have been a few experiences like this where I have been the “black sheep” and decided to go a different path when everyone else had different opinions and every time I have gotten confirmation that I made the right decision. Following through with my intuition has allowed me to trust myself and feel empowered in my choices.
How do you believe embracing and celebrating your soul’s essence contributes to personal growth and development? Can you share an example of how connecting with your authentic self has influenced your goals or aspirations?
Nourishing the authentic self is a journey of self-development because we are constantly learning and reorienting ourselves to come back home to our essence. Because we live in this world with so many distractions and potentially triggering experiences it can be pretty easy to move away from our essence. In the process of coming back home to ourselves, we get to learn so much about who we are and work through personal challenges that stem from childhood, past lives, traumatic experiences, etc. Connecting with my unique soul’s essence has allowed me to see what goals and aspirations are actually in alignment with my true desires. So often people make decisions and create goals based on what they think they should or shouldn’t be doing according to society’s standards or that of their family or friends. Connecting to my unique soul’s journey, the joys, and challenges I have gone through, and becoming clear about the things that light me up has taken me to the path of studying holistic healing modalities and wanting to help others on their journey of healing and coming back home to themselves.
