Spiritual Hygiene Practices

• Wear natural fibers when working with energy. Natural fibers include: wool, cotton, denim, silk, bamboo, and hemp.
• Avoid alcohol (except in flower essences & herbal tinctures), cannabis and all psychedelics for the duration of this course. This includes avoiding plant spirit medicine ceremonies (working with entheogens) during this course. Please do not partake in ayahuasca, peyote, San Pedro, psilocybin, hape or any other plant medicines during this course.
• Create a clearing ritual and use it every single day. Make clearing a part of your daily routine, like showering or flossing.

What does it mean to have a high vibration?

"We all vibrate energetically at a particular frequency. Our frequency can now be scientifically measured. The lower the frequency, the denser your energy, and the heavier your problems seem. Here you may experience pain and discomfort in your physical body and experience heavy emotions and mental confusion. The higher the frequency of your energy or vibration, the lighter you feel your physical emotional, and mental bodies. You experience greater personal power, clarity, peace, love, and joy.”

-The Benefits of Being in a Higher Vibration b​y, Pamela Dussault Runtagh

Becoming a "Hollow Bone"

"We are called to become hollow bones for our people, and anyone else we can help. We are not supposed to seek power for our personal use and honor. What we bones really become is the pipeline that connects Wakan Tanka (Creator/Great Spirit) the helpers and the community together."-Frank Fool's Crow, Lakota Nation

I was introduced to the concept of becoming a hollow bone as a means of spiritual hygiene in massage school many years ago. This concept has really stuck with me and I would like to share a book with you that has helped me greatly on my path as a healer, shaman, priestess, spiritual warrior and teacher: The Fourfold Way by Angeles Arrien. I have recently started listening to this book on Audible and it is still quite impactful to me since I first read the book in 1995. To revisit these concepts and hear them read in the author's voice since she has now crossed over-wow.-the gift that keeps on giving!

My intention with this course is that all my writings and teachings will impact you differently the longer you are on your healing journey and that my teachings will unfold for you the way Angeles' words are still unfolding for me.
