How to we prepare ourselves to be of service to others?

Our discussion topic in Module 1 is how to be "The Hollow Bone", which is referenced in many Native American tribes when they speak of what it takes to do healing work effectively. Being a healer takes greater dedication to self-care than most people can comprehend. We live our lives accountable to ourselves with such a higher level of integrity and honesty. 

The level of self-care we must bring to our daily life is not easy. In this Module, we also discuss spiritual hygiene, self-care with substances and how to raise our vibration. You all see many people who call themselves healers but their lives do not reflect the integrity of the work they do. 

This quote is from Chief Luther Standing Bear of the Sioux Nation: 

"If we want to be of maximum use to the Creator, we must ready ourselves to do so. 

If we are to become a channel for the Creator's purposes, we must prepare ourselves to do so. 

If we have resentment, fear or anger, we are not hollow bones. We must be rid of these things. We must keep our insides clean. We must change ourselves. We cannot use our power in a good way when we have blockages such as hate, judgement and envy. When we are free of these things HIgher Powers can use us beyond our wildest imagination. Only when we are hollow bones can we have an effect on the world." 

This video below started out as part of the introduction to this course when this was an advanced training that had Evangeline's shamanic apprenticeship program as the pre-requisite to this course. It became apparent very fast that the need for Death Doula certification took precedence over the in-depth shamanic ministerial training Evangeline had initially set out to do. So, when you hear Evangeline speaking of the seven-module course Expanding Sacred, just know that training is also available to you if you want to go even deeper into shamanic healing and facilitation. The spiritual hygiene that comes with being a Death Doula is a huge part of this course. Self-care and regular energy maintenance becomes the life of a Death Doula miracle worker.
