We find ourselves in turbulent times. The world as we know it is undergoing a fiery transformation. Much of what we see in the news does not align with our internal moral compass.

We may feel out of control, demoralized, or paralyzed in our ability to act in ways that reflect our truth of showing love, compassion, and respect for others.

We come from a lineage of ancestors who faced immense challenges. These old ones live in us, offering us counsel, resources, and guidance as we, too, face challenges. They remind us of our resilience, strength, and determination to hold a vision for a heart-centered world in thought and action.

The eye of the storm is the place within our hearts that guides us as we chop wood and carry water through right action, remembering that the hurricane is swirling around the perimeter, yet we can still see clearly using the quiet reflection within to guide us.

As these shadowy parts surface, each a piece of the whole, tyrant and victim in their expression, we experience deep polarity within us, and between us. 

If our unconscious aspects rise to the surface without our processing the feelings, we witness more destruction, alienation, devastation, suffering, and war being acted out. War only creates more wounding and trauma, perpetuating a system of injustice. 

We must bring love to the disparity, separation, incongruencies, and differences in opinions. Only through love can we heal, have hope, and evolve. We must love all the pieces to bring ourselves back to wholeness, incorporating all we are.

Here in the Midwest of the USA, we enter the winter months, the dark incubation period of our cycles with nature. We are learning to feel the subtle energies of our animal nature, our intuition. We grew up learning about the five senses of our physical bodies: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. However, our intuitive body and non-physical senses have been dormant, waiting patiently for us to remember. In reality, we have way more senses than we can imagine.

Our Ancestors can assist us if we choose to connect and ask them for guidance. With their assistance, we can work to bring to consciousness the trauma and shame from the secrets of our past, which led our lineage to go askew.

First and foremost, we can thank our Ancestors for giving us life! Then, we can ask our Ancestors for guidance as we tap into our inner knowing. With this adjustment in our field, we can more easily navigate our lives and live from a place of truth, love, and light. We also help our Ancestors, as when we heal, we heal seven generations before and after us. We heal the world.

I am keenly aware of how the cold creeps in with each challenge we face. Are we not metaphorically dying of the frigidity in our detachment from the pain of it all? Our feelings, stifled, held back in the “it’s too much.” When we have had enough, what can we do? 

We can compassionately lean into the warmth, support each other, allow the tears to fall, and the anger to dissipate, and transform into compassionate service. 

We can bear witness to the pain. We can listen, love, reach out a hand, embrace, text, call, or write, without judgment or advice. We can be present. We can be warm.

On the Spiral Path, we are continuously dying metaphorically and being reborn, deepening our understanding of our lives and how everything and everyone is intricately connected through an energy field of complexity. We are both an independent system and a cog in the wheel of humanity, interdependent!

At a microcosm level, we each need to look to our communities and how we can get involved at the personal level to bring dialogue for systemic change. We may need to do personal self-reflection to see ourselves as agents of change at the same time as we expand our perspective to see what we can't yet see. This also means healing our traumas to bridge the gap between us and the other. At a macrocosm level, we can work towards healing by being in right relationship with ourselves and the planet.

How we navigate during this time is crucial. Can we hold the other in love and compassion, even when their story is not ours? If we cannot, we often find ourselves in a place of judgment, reactivity, and intolerance, further creating separation, anger, and even outrage. 

To navigate this chasm of differences, we must each unravel our attachments to pain and suffering or entitlement that keep us in unhealthy patterns of behavior, creating further trauma. Once we untangle our emotions and heal the wounded part of ourselves, we can see more clearly and respond more compassionately.

Aahara's warrior program was born in a Shamanic Breathwork, I had a vision where I downloaded this program. It was seeded, and within a year, we were offering the Shamanic Warriorship Path Series. This program has evolved to reflect a new paradigm of warrior work involving collaboration and co-creation with the natural world, including specific animals who informed the development of this new paradigm shift for Humanity.

Do you believe in magic? Do you search for four-leaf shamrocks, knowing that they bring good luck? When you find one, do you watch for synchronicities, validating that you are lucky? Or you can feel the effects of full moon energy? When there is a full moon, I wake up at 3:00 a.m. when the veils are the thinnest between the worlds, some say. I am very awake and energetic, often cleaning the house or taking on a big project!

Love is a creative life force energy that contracts through the pain, when we sit in the pain, feel it, and open our hearts to compassion for ourselves and others, there is a shift. We expand a bit more to life and all its juiciness.

In finding forgiveness for each other and ourselves, we can expand, and this helps us shift to feeling more love.

Yes, we are returning to Africa! This pilgrimage will be our fourth time leading a journey to South Africa. It will be my eighth time returning to the White Lions at the Global White Lion Protection Trust after being called there in 2011 in one of my Shamanic Breathworks. Each time I have returned has informed me by giving me clarity in some way as to how to live my life and my purpose.

The spiral carries a deeper understanding of how change happens. It is an excellent metaphor as it comes with so much less judgment as it acknowledges that each time we revisit a pattern or problem, we can see it from a higher perspective.

We are warriors finding our strength, wisdom, and guidance to live our lives in alignment with our highest purpose. We are each on this life journey, all interwoven in the tapestry of each other, connected in ways we cannot even fathom, bringing to light the highest version of our warrior self.

“I don’t want to do this.” “I want to go home.”

“I want my Mama.” These words are written on my first mandala* during the Spiral Path: Cycles of Change segment of the month-long SHIP. You can see that I had a lot of resistance initially going through this initiation process. These three sentences were coming up for me as my spirit/soul/psyche lead me to do the deeper work of excavating lifetime (and lifetimes) patterns I had developed to feel safe and to avoid feeling the pain and even delight of being a human.
