In this episode I'm sharing how there is a beautiful connection between the Scorpion, Eagle, and Phoenix that illustrates our sacred journey of healing and transformation, where we release our fears and have the courage to move through our own rebirth – a journey that mirrors the medicine found in Mother Earth’s seasons.This episode is a short extract from my book Your Heart Knows How to Heal You.

In this episode, I’m sharing an extract from a recent live webinar I offered on Mary Magdalene, part of the online course A Shamanic Journey of Resurrection and Rebirth (only open for enrolment once per year).Mary Magdalene is a powerful Death Maiden—like a Valkyrie—guiding us through the sacred portal of death, life, and rebirth.She had to trust the spiritual eye of her heart when she witnessed Yeshua after he had risen. No one else could validate her experience. And still, she shared her visions, her soul gifts, and her healing medicine with others— the gift of her faith and the medicine of her courageShe wove her heart’s loving wisdom into the world.And I feel this is one of her greatest gifts to us: To help us trust our own deeper knowing.There are so many correlations between how her voice was silenced and distorted by patriarchy for over 1500 years, and how the voice of the feminine has been silenced for millennia.But just as the ancient feminine is now rising within us, so too are the sacred teachings of Mary Magdalene—calling us to reclaim our feminine wisdom, magic, and voice.You can also meet Mary Magdalene in my new book, Your Heart Knows How to Heal You.And if you want to watch a free webinar on Your Heart Knows How to Heal You, visit cissiwilliams.com/replay.

In this episode I talk about how the Dark Night of the Soul invites us to go on an underworld journey – a journey that moves us through such a deep transformation that we will be forever altered. A journey that births the light of a new consciousness, as it's the darkness that births the light.A journey that helps us transform wounds into wisdom, and shadows into light, so we can pass on the healing medicine to our future lineage.This episode is a short extract from my free webinar I ran recently on How Your Heart Knows How to Heal You, where I also guide you on a shamanic journey into the sacred medicine found in the four chambers of your heart - a medicine of healing, transformation, magic and rebirth.To access for free the full webinar, and the shamanic journey, just visit cissiwilliams.com/replayTo find out more about the book, visit cissiwilliams.com/yourheartknowshowtohealyouYou also find the book on Amazon, Simon and Schuster, Barnes and Noble, and Inner Traditions.
