Embracing Change for Personal and Collective Growth
🦋JAGUAR WOMEN'S CEREMONY🦋
Tell me… at the thought of deep changes… what do you feel? Excitement or Anxiety? A combination of both?
Liget: It’s the fire in the chili and the rush in the rapids. It makes tempers fly and drives people to work harder. Among the Ilongot, a tribe of around 3,500 headhunters living in the gloomy jungles of Nueva Vizcaya in the Philippines, Liget is the name given to an angry energy which fuels human and non-humans alike. Anger is sometimes seen as a negative emotion, but for Ilongot, Liget speaks above all of optimism and vitality. It is certainly capable of stirring up pointless arguments and violent outbursts. But it also excites and motivates, making people plant more seeds than their neighbors, or stay out hunting for longer. “If it were not for Liget,” one Ilongot told the anthropologist Michelle Rosaldo, “we’d have no life, we’d never work.” - Tiffany Watt Smith

Have you been taught that safety and stability is only in the external, and that only external instances provides safety? Have you allowed all your decisions to uphold this belief? Or, are you one of the lucky ones, and have truly found safety and stability within, knowing that wherever you find yourself, you will be ok?
It took me a long time to finally drop seeking safety in the external - even though for most of my hunt, I didn’t realize what I was doing. I simply thought I had to keep up, had to be on top of everything, had to have certain things, or should have been accomplished in a certain way, at a certain time, and in certain eyes, to be awarded with acceptance, love, safety and …stability.
Eventually though, I began to look around. What I saw was a collection of stories we all adhere to. The first insight came during my work for a large property management firm as a junior accountant, a very long time ago, in a life that is now far, far away. But it was there, in that corporate structure, that I began to question the structure of the stories we tell to maintain reality. It was there I began to realize, that all of our society is built on a great big .. story. The meaning that we derive from or ascribe to the story(ies) is what really makes things tick.
The stories of our cultures, traditions, corporations, borders, authority structures, money - all of it keep things swirling. Of course, because the story holds it all together, there are institutions that fight for control of our narratives, which, as we evolve, only become more and more complex. Elon Musk for example, is a personification of this, as his then 140 character tweets could send stock spiraling either way - and immediately and viscerally affect a shared storyline.
The Story is what holds power over us. The story that there is power in a title, not in the person, the story that there is power in a printed slip of paper - often more than the value of the paper it is printed on - and yet again, not in a person. The agreement we all make to believe in the story of land boundaries - which no animal or plant does, except for respecting the natural boundary of the oceans and the lack or abundance of necessary resources, and even then, some species find ways to piggyback on others. The agreement we all make to believe in laws we wrote up - and even though these all serve a purpose, these are ultimately all stories, and only function because we all choose to believe these stories. All of these stories are, whether for a legitimate reason or not, disempowering to the individual power of a person. Without the general consensus, they wouldn’t work.
What if dimensions are the depths to which our spirit can either ascend or sink into the realms of our own making? The depths and heights of our own stories?
We have a live front seat to the insanity of being attached to a shared narrative, or story, that has long outlived it's purpose via certain conflicts around the world. We can cluck and sigh and say how horrible it is - but the truth is, the power a Story holds over humanity is immense. Stories get people un-alived, sometimes on a mass scale.
To make changes real, we have to change the narrative. We have to be willing to make the changes necessary on the genuine levels necessary. We have to be willing to change our personal narrative, and also the collective narrative.
And for that, we have to confront the aspects of us resistant to changing the narrative and ask some tough questions. Such as the story that we aren’t attached to a story, or the one that can’t do anything anyways, or the other one that things are better if they stay the same.
We are at a moment in history which has never, ever been. We have left the yellow brick road, we’re no longer in Kansas and we’re far out and beyond any new frontier. Every day, we receive news of new discoveries and changes, we are bombarded with information that is as low vibe and contradictory to our current state of development as it could ever be, we are fed selected new narratives (stories), and we’re kept in a state of uncertainty, which leads us to seek certainty and therefore, aid in perpetuating old, tried and true… stories.
Stories are very important, and are the most important tool we have to deal with this reality we find ourselves in. Even Quantum physics agrees, then what we focus on with expectation, or the story we expect to see unfold, is what collapses from potential waves into particle reality. We’re easily exploited by this, and often end up manifesting the realities we are told to see… by believing the stories we are told to believe.
I was inspired the other day - and where the inspiration came from, you can watch in my latest Youtube video:

JAGUAR WOMEN’S HEALING CEREMONY
The Jaguar is a magnificent spirit guide and has been accompanying me as one of my four power animals many years. Jaguar has no natural predators. Jaguar practices fearlessness, as it is the one that has the courage to go into the deepest, darkest parts of the rainforest. Jaguar represents being able to hunt that within us which keeps us from accessing our full power - traditionally seen as hunting fears. Jaguar is an intense guide and moves beyond death into infinity - and back. Jaguar represents the ability to embrace the unknown, to maintain innocence and to move in trust, so silently, with deep inner confidence, self-sufficiency, intuition, silence, quiet, efficiency and strength. Jaguar is the moon, skillful and focused, but also roams outside of a pack. Jaguar is connected to the Underworld, and can move easily in the dark, in the unknown and the subconscious.
After living years in a place which has offered me intense experiences that connected me deeply with the energies of the Underworld, I am now ready to begin offering full on ceremonies again. On a much deeper level than before. Come, if you’re ready.
On the day after the June 22 full moon in Capricorn, on Sunday, June 23, at 10AM EST and 4PM CEST we will begin the dive into the Underworld, led by Jaguar. There are two parts to this Ceremony:
1.) an incredibly beautiful, flowing shamanic Jaguar Ceremony which will allow you to connect with the energies of the Jaguar. This ceremony is to help you cleanse, center and ground into your energy. Included are sexual, relationship cleanses and much, much, much more…
2.) Constellation Rounds where a person is focused on for healing and everyone else in the round becomes a medium for a specific aspect of what needs to be healed. Two or three people will be chosen to heal one theme. Usually, in spite of only two or three people stepping forward for a healing, everyone experiences a healing, as the topics will pertain to all of us, and the energies around these topics cleared, as everyone is drawn in to participate and represent a certain role. If you ever wanted to feel the truth of how much you matter in the world, this is it.
More info on Family Constellations. I practice this technique in the method of Fogo Sagrado - a shamanic form of Healing which means Sacred Fire. Fogo Sagrado is an initiatory practice, which means I received energies and activations which are only transmitted from teacher to student. It is not simply a rote learning, or copying, it was over a year long training, with integration breaks. There were a number of energetic activations given.
