My walk toward healing is a continuation of my last blog, My Walk on the Wild Side. I promised to write the following week about my personal shamanic healing with The Healing Hummingbird, Meredith Johnson. Rather, during these last two weeks, my healing slowly increased in volume in subtle, yet concrete ways.
My Walk Toward Healing Guidance
The Big Project
If you browse through my blogs, you’ll find I’ve been taking small steps toward fulfilling my life purpose for years. It is a lot like a huge project, My Life Purpose, with many assets (people), contributing skills toward the successful completion of the project.
Yet, one thread is consistent. Me. It is in my control what I notice, whom I choose, where I go.
How did I find The Healing Hummingbird? Slowly, I’ve followed my intuition toward making new contacts, friendships, decisions that became a new circle of friends. While in Denver, Colorado, I met them in person. It was easy because it was like dipping a cane pole in a trout pond. The density of fish increased my likelihood of bringing one to shore.
In Florida, the energy is quite different. Then add in a pandemic, and I’m forced to make new connections via electronic sources. Often these connections come via email, which is a modern connection. Or perhaps I’m searching for a practitioner on the Internet. Rather than finding my initial quest, something new in the results catches my eye and I head down that side trail.
Similarly, an ads stops my scroll on social media. I click on it. Perhaps that click didn’t seem to be the answer. My curiosity pushes me on, digging a little deeper, scrolling a little farther, and finally the person I’m meant to choose draws me in. It’s like a bigger force has gently taken my hand to guide my walk toward healing.
What Healing Occured?
During my Shamanic healing, there were beautiful moments of my chest opening up, feeling full, then lighter. Most notable were the self-care reminders that came through, like these:
- Dissolve epsom salt in a bucket of warm water, pouring it over your head in the shower
- Drink hot tea with ginger
- Massage your feet, then wrap them in warmth
- Indulge yourself with your morning coffee
- Waft the smoke of Palo Santo around your body
Perhaps one of my self-care options appeals to you. My favorite new understanding was using epsom salt in the shower. With my arthritis, it’s difficult to get up from a bathtub, keeping me from enjoying the benefits of a soaking bath. As I pour the ion-rich warm water over my head, I literally feel unnecessary layers slough off my skin.
Your Walk Toward Healing
The Most Important Tip
Above all, finding your own way is paramount to achieving fulfillment… happiness.
By learning to feel sensations in your body, you move toward an understanding of your unique path.
And the Way is
Plain and simple – deep breathing.
Deep Breathing —> Meditation
Meditation —> Being in the Moment
Being in the Moment —> Feeling Sensations in Your Body

There are other paths that are available to you when you start down your walk toward fulfillment. Deep breathing can be the first step. Be curious.
See you on the path,
