My own journey to discovering I was a Celestial Shaman is a long one, spanning several years. As with most wounded healers, it began with a desire to heal myself. This lead me to gaining the skills necessary to help others heal. Throughout that process, I learned multiple healing modalities and how to tap into my spiritual gifts such as trance channeling. Learning to trance channel, in a way, eventually lead me to Yvonne Perry‘s doorstep. I will share the story of how I ended up there in another post. For now, you only need to know that her doorstep is where my foray into Celestial Shamanism™ began.
At the time, I was a Reiki Master Teacher, a trance channel and a traditional shaman trained in the Incan tradition with all 9 Munay-Ki rites. I had a Bachelors of Metaphysics and was working on my Masters, with intentions of getting my Ph.D. I had recently come to terms with the fact that not only was I a starseed but a walk-in as well. Yvonne, having written the proverbial textbook on those two subjects, was uniquely qualified to help me understand the nature of my newly discovered “being”.
I know what you must be thinking. “Why didn’t you just read her books and call it a day?” That’s not the way I roll, baby. When I read, see, or hear something that I KNOW to be a personal truth, I delve into learning all I can from the direct source. I won’t just read a book. If it resonates on a level that is essential to my spiritual growth, I will contact that person and either request to meet them, pay for their service/class/training or – in Yvonne’s case – ask to come spend the weekend learning from them.
Luckily for me, Yvonne had a room available that weekend and was willing to accommodate me and my friend Rita. Yvonne did a light language healing on me and we discussed what light language was, how it’s activated and all the other gifts that I now know are common among Celestial Shaman. Most importantly, this is the weekend I unlocked my own celestial shaman gifts.
As a traditionally trained shaman, I was used to unrolling and setting up my mesa, calling in protection from the four winds and using all the (literally) bells and whistles a traditional shaman uses. I was taught this process was handed down for millennia by the sacred wisdom keepers, should be respected and I adhered to it rigidly. Too rigidly, as it turned out!
My friend, Rita, requested I do a healing session for her. We set up in Yvonne’s chapel. She relaxed on the massage table as I laid out all my tools, called the four winds and prepared for the healing session. As I approached her to begin, something unexpected happened. I saw her (what I now call) “etheric technicians” come in. They instructed me to watch, listen and learn how to do what I had been doing, in a new way. While this was unexpected, it was not questioned. I had learned a long time ago that when Spirit presents a message, you listened! So, I surrendered to the process and thus began my new way of shamanic healing. I had become the celestial shamanism.
Over the next four years, I leaned into learning, experimenting with and developing this skill. Through facilitating a Celestial Shaman workshop with Yvonne, I not only met other celestial shaman with incredible gifts but also unlocked my own dormant ability to speak light language.
I also came to understand that my advanced training (and continued pursuit of it) coupled with being a starseed was a trait indicative of celestial shamans. We keep getting one more degree or one more certification that we think will add to our resume’ and advanced our skill set. Our human selves have not yet accepted the fact that we, indeed embody, our advanced spiritual self which has no human teachers. The reality is, a celestial shaman’s teachers are in other dimensions or planes of existence. Yes, we have human guides. Yvonne and my other mentors were my guides. They gave me the information I needed to “follow the breadcrumbs” to my REAL mentors – my soul at Source level and “etheric” beings who helped me remember what I (and we ALL) are capable of accessing in this human form. I have personally experienced things our worldly physics will say is impossible, such as levitation, object aportation, time bending, astral travel, animal communication and telepathic communication. I have a saying that I tell my students when they begin to experience these same impossibilities: “The train to Hogwart’s has left the station. You are no longer in the Muggle world.”
(Channeled) So, dear one, this is where I leave you. At that 9 3/4 platform with an unseen portal to the unknown where you emerge into a hidden world of unrealized magic. To succeed on the path of celestial shamanism, you must leave behind all that you know and be willing to accept that “all that you know” is actually… nothing at all. I can not teach you the ways of the Celestial Shaman because YOUR teachers are on the other side of the portal. I can, however, be your humble guide.
