#109 Enhanceformation for your Transformation: How to Hack your Awakening

Are you going through a spiritual awakening or deepening of your awakening experience? Did you know that the Death, Purification, and Rebirth phases of Alchemy can be some of the most powerful support and spiritual tools for your awakening? The esoteric wisdom teachings of the ancient alchemists are relevant today on your journey of self-healing and evolving consciousness.  Alchemy is a powerful spiritual technology that helps us master the process of creation and transformation in our lives and in the world. With Alchemy, transformation can go from feeling chaotic, unpredictable, and scary to organized and empowering. Through our spiritual awakening and evolution experiences, we naturally move through the cycle of Alchemy as we release our old identities, align with Universal Truth and Divine Law, and embody our higher selves.  Michelle and Katherine, both practicing Alchemists, discuss the process of Alchemy and how it can support your spiritual awakening. Learn about how Alchemy can help you heal from trauma and release old energy, as well as purify and cultivate radiance and illumination.  Do you desire Alchemy in your life? Michelle’s I AM Alchemy apprenticeship begins March 2024. Check out all the details and submit your application here: https://michellehawk.com/i-am-alchemy

Do you have unwanted spiritual attention? Are you concerned about entities, demons, or spirit attachments? What is a shamanic extraction or exorcism, and why might it not be enough to help you? Following up on episodes 92 and 93, Michelle and Katherine talk about shamanic extractions and removing entities. They share what they commonly hear from consultations, some of the reasons why an extraction may not work or be helpful, and best practices to make extractions more effective. This episode is for healers, shamanic practitioners, energy workers, psychics, and those going through spiritual and psychic awakenings. It is also for those that feel they are struggling with ghosts, entities, and spirit possession. Extractions can be a deep and challenging healing process, so we do not recommend you attempt this without specialized training to ensure safety for you and your client. Please choose your healing practitioners wisely. We have other videos about how to choose a shaman or healing practitioner. ~~~ Welcome to Shaman Sister Sessions!

Elevate your consciousness. Ascend to the 5th dimension. Access the quantum field. Yes, and… There's a fine line between elevating consciousness and using spirituality to avoid discomfort. Ascending to the 5th dimension doesn't mean you get to bypass anything inconvenient in this dimension. It's great to do quantum healing or work in the quantum field, but can you ground that field effectively into your embodied Earthwalk? Michelle and Katherine discuss “spiritual ascension culture,” including what these ideas mean, how they might be helpful, and where they might be toxic. Can “ascension culture” do more harm than good? Are you looking for support on your spiritual awakening, healing skill development, or mentorship for bringing your soul's purpose to the world?

Shamanic work can take a lot of energy and requires not only energetic stamina, but also physical resilience and endurance. When in Shamanic trance, practicing incorporation mediumship, or holding ceremony for 10 hours, your body has specific needs for minerals, muscle strength and flexibility, and ion exchange.  Michelle and Katherine offer tools and practices for how to get into Shamanic shape so you can best support your health and sustainability of your practice, and channel more energy effectively and safely without burning yourself out.

The Shaman Sisters continue their conversation about abuse and harm within the spiritual and personal development community. Following up on episode #121 (Gaslighting, Narcissism, Manipulation and Abuse in the Spiritual and Coaching Community) and episode #46 (Predators in the Spiritual Community), Michelle and Katherine share what they have observed when supporting people after leaving cults and abusive practitioner relationships.  Michelle and Katherine discuss the recovery process, how to assess your energy body for unwanted attachments and implants, and offer support for re-matrixing your relationship with Spirit and your spiritual practice in a healthy, sovereign way. If you or someone you know has experienced harm at the hands of a spiritual practitioner, coach or facilitator, we believe you. What happened was wrong, and it was not your fault.

Psychedelic and entheogenic medicine work have been emerging in the western world as powerful spirit allies for healing and guidance. The spectrum of “medicine work” includes the western clinical pathology model, the traditional church, the ceremonial shamanic devotional experience, the recreational trip and more. Big reveal in this episode! Introducing the Shaman Sisters mushroom temple (not the actual name, but tune in to find out about this temple and what we’re offering). What’s the difference between a traditional church, trip sitting/psychedelic assisted psychotherapy and a ceremonial shamanic medicine experience? Which option is right for you? What are some things to consider when pursuing medicine work for your healing journey? Michelle and Katherine open up about their path with medicine work and share their perspectives on these different paths. This episode also includes a sneak peek at their work with serving psilocybin, their shamanic mushroom ceremonies and upcoming shamanic training experiences that include medicine work, mediumship and mystical devotion and healing practices.

The spiritual, personal development, coaching community has narcissists, abusers, sociopaths and shitty people in it, just like everywhere else. Unfortunately, these people are very skilled at distorting and manipulating spiritual teachings, language and practices to take advantage of and harm clients who come to them for help. These abusers may be so good at hiding behind spirituality that they could have harmed many people over the years, or even decades. This is wrong. This is out of integrity. We will not stand for this in our community. It can sometimes feel hard to tell if a practitioner is safe or not, especially if you’re new to the path or new to a particular community. Following up on their episode #46: Predators in the Spiritual Community, Michelle and Katherine go over the dangerous red flags to watch out for, and green flags to look for in a practitioner, teacher or medicine facilitator. Please use careful consideration whenever choosing a practitioner. While there may be some truly horrible abusers in the spiritual and coaching industry, there are plenty of safe and wonderful teachers as well. If you or someone you know has experienced harm at the hands of a spiritual practitioner, coach or facilitator, we believe you. What happened was wrong, and it was not your fault.

Many of us struggle with self-trust. Maybe you have trouble making  decisions, you are easily swayed by the opinions and expectations of  others, or seem to put your own needs and desires last. If so, you’re  not alone. We live in a world that systematically undermines our  connection to inner wisdom and guidance, and unless we actively learn  the skills to cultivate self-trust, we’re stuck in self doubt.   Relax! We’ve got you covered. Join Michelle Hawk and Katherine Bird for  some real talk about how to trust yourself, including perspective from  their own journeys of self-trust, ways we can get stuck in doubt and the  top three tools you can use to build rock-solid trust in yourself.

Spiritual initiation cycles often bring up a lot of resistance. You’ve probably experienced this: initiations can be uncomfortable, confronting, challenging and triggering. But, as Michelle and Katherine discuss in this powerful episode, “resistance is fertile.” Resistance shows us where there is potent energy available for transformation, and when we understand and work with resistance, it can help catapult us forward into the next cycle.    Join the Shaman Sisters for a very real look at resistance through initiation cycles (and get a peek behind the scenes at some on-air epiphanies as they discuss their own resistance experiences).
