I always deeply appreciate Sandra's perspective, light and wisdom because my spiritual journey on this physical Earth includes a walk with chronic illness. How she walks through Life encourages me to keep going. 💖
I gotta say Sandra that over the decades that I’ve followed your work and teachings it seems your messages hit home just when I needed to hear them. We are just a few months apart in age and my life started in the Bronx NY as an illegitimate child of immigrant parents. Was moved from German neighborhoods to lastly an area with mainly Caribbean people. Each area presented new and sometimes very difficult situations because of the status stigma and my natural psychic abilities which further separated me from whatever group I was put in. While I believed I overcame those early years and traveled, learned and experienced many amazing things, these past five years of illness have shaken me and those old voices started to resurface. It’s totally humbling and frightening. So I’m grateful to you and this community for sharing yourselves as y’all do. There are days when I don’t seem to have the strength to be stubborn yet the Universe sends me messages like those in this episode to help move me to the next moment and breathe. Thank you so very much.
Guilt is only destructive to oneself! Has no place in our lives! ❤❤❤ Staying present is a continuous job, not always easy, but getting better at it. I have self love as l know that l am an extension of our creator, if l love our creator, then how can l not love myself. ❤
Renee and Sandra, thank you for this, and thank your spirits, too. In my initiations, one of the first things my own Heart had me do in connecting with spirits and life energies was look into my own eyes in the bathroom mirror. I heard, "Who are you looking at? Who are you really?" I answered that I was at that moment realizing I was the eyes behind the mirror eyes, that I was Love. I'm skipping a lot, but in my evening ceremony, one of the energies I call forth and ask my spirits and guides to help move through me is that those who I bring into the circle of the Fellowship of the Heart will experience healing, awakening love to recognize their essence of divine love. When we awaken to that, it's almost impossible to look at another, the Other, and not pause a moment--no matter how much ugliness they may be spewing--and think, "Hey, at their core, they are the essence of love; we are one." Then, I, at least, can deal with others in a shamanic energy of sensing the connection and having spirits and guides help me to send and respond appropriately. Okay, too much here, but I was so encouraged--which I need right now. Love and peace
Why would anyone in the shamanic community push back on the message of self love? 😢 What path are they on? Years ago I asked to be blessed with unconditional love and the message I received was begin with your self. The shamanic journey will give you the truths you seek. The spirits do not pull and punches. I read Sandra’s new book. Excellent! 🙏🏻❤ Last!
Sandra, I was in an old book store today and I picked up some second hand books. I was just flicking through them and I was scanning through a book called " the karma of cats" and low and behold there you are talking about your love of Smokey the cat. So funny to stumble across you in a random book like this . I love cats - I love that you love them too 💓
Before watching this episode I was staring right into my eyes really close in the mirror, and after a few seconds I could see my reflection within my pupil, almost like staring into my earth costume
I appreciate this reminder to practice self-love and I appreciate both of you and the honest conversations. I began the shamanic medicine wheel path two years ago and am now about to enter the East. I recently bought two of your books, Sandra, Soul Retrieval and Walking Through Darkness. I am reading both (love them!) and now also going through the Shaman’s Cave RU-vid video offerings. Thank you both for making these conversations and teachings available. 🙏🏼💕
The absence of true self love is so very apparent at every turn in our modern day world. We need more role models doing deep spiritual work like you two who speak publicly. This sacred space is so healing for many of us who gather here with you week after week. 🙏🏼🪶✨
Thank you ❤ it is quite an "adventure" to love oneself when one is been abused ... seems like the work throughout the years, and still ongoing is never enough 🙏
I walk a shaman’s path and so grateful for your smart conversation. I lean heavily into your spirits and my Mesa represents both of you at each moon ceremony. Thank you for your grace and shared experience. 📡🪶💗
Yes! I actually (self-)published a little book last year, A Spiritual Path to Self-Love (please forgive the small plug), that includes ceremonies and guided mini-meditations -- with credit to you, Sandra! -- because the need for self-love feels almost overpowering these days. Thank you for addressing this topic! ❤
For many years I struggled with self love and self worth. My parent is narcissist. The very classic scapegoat vs golden child family roles, including the flying monkeys. I only learned about these things recently. I thought all these years something was wrong with ME. I did all kinds of self work. Then realised the scapegoat gets all of the parent and family projections. I literally thought maybe I was a narcissist. That how I figured it out. Now through educating myself, I realize it was never ME. So now that I know the truth, I can address it properly.
My shamanic lineage traces back to Sandras training. One of our class books was soul retrieval. I got a two year scholarship. I have used most of what I learned in my daily life. I would like to expand sometime in the future. Still working on me at this time.
Thank you! This is by far one of my favourite podcasts. ❤. I miss the journeys though. Could you do them again but warn people that this contains a journey before listening and perhaps people could stop the podcast at that point if they are driving etc.?
Oh boy, yes, children should be seen and not heard, heard that often. Also, my dad would tell us we arent human yet, we dont matter, as we dont know what its like to work and have responsibilities! Ugh awful stuff my sisters and l have had to overcome! Physical abuse as well. Took some of us decades and some of us still carry it. 😢 Thank you for this very important video ladies. Love and light to you and to all. ❤❤❤
