Transmutation News February 2025

I am a therapist with 3 licenses. I have a LPCC and a LFMT license in NM. I am also a member and listed on a national organization The Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress. I was given this certification due to my book Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self. I did not do extra work to be accepted by the organization.

I studied trauma work for so many years. Recently I discovered how severely impacted my own nervous system became by stress and trauma in my life. And at the age of 72 it has all caught up to me. You can only compensate how you live your life for so long and then your body says “No!”. We know this is the most popular subject being addressed in the world of therapy and in spiritual practices.

It is truly amazing to see the new evolution of therapy and is being addressed. Times keep changing and new opportunities are always being given to us.

My parents grew up in the era of the depression in the U.S. My mother had a genius IQ but was forced to drop out of high school to work and also take care of my grandmother. Both my parents were some of the most psychic people I have met.

When I asked my mom about her psychic abilities her response to me was in her time life was about survival and there was not a space for her to work with spiritual practices. I understood – just a different time on planet Earth. My mom was the first generation born of my family born in the U.S. Life was not about exploring a spiritual path. She had holes in the soles of her shoes, and if she could find a way to get a peanut butter sandwich for lunch that is all she cared about.

Through time opportunities grew more for people to work on themselves and also to focus on their own spiritual path. I do know how many people are still trying to survive. I am talking about the general collective where the doors for practicing spiritual work flung open as wide as possible and started to create unlimited opportunities for people to experiment and find new ways to live life.

I grew up in the drug culture of the 60s and all we wanted to do was to explore Love and Oneness!

When I went for my master’s in counseling psychology, I studied the work of Roberto Assagioli and Pyschosynthesis, Bioenergetics, the work of Otto Rank, Gestalt Therapy, NLP, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Rogerian Therapy, and therapies like this.

There was so much brilliance in the work!!

I gave up my traditional therapy practice (keeping up my CEUs for my licenses) for shamanic healing work. For I found it so powerful. Especially once I brought Soul Retrieval into my work everything changed. For so many clients do not do well in therapy as the therapist is talking to a client who is not home.

And now in the last few years this statement that I made back in the 1980s is a big understanding in the therapy world, hence the introduction of nervous system work to bring people back into their body again, like we do with the healing practice of Soul Retrieval.

And what all nervous system programs have in common is teaching practices to come back and be present in the body. But a lot of the deep work is looking at how when we were born, we started being conditioned away from the destiny we came here to fulfill. And a key to the work going on today is finding your purpose in life and remembering you are an Adult now and that you are part of Source and a Spirit that can’t be harmed.

As you are reading this month’s column you are being reminded of some of the core practices of the Medicine for the Earth work. You are a divine spirit who looked down on this earth before you were born and decided on a life purpose.

I don’t want to make this column too long as I find people like to read shorter newsletters these days. We are overloaded with information.

I do need to take you back to the early 1990s when I wrote my book Welcome Home. I introduced the practice of Soul Remembering based on a teaching my helping spirit gave me while performing a Soul Retrieval on a client. My helping spirit said my client did not need a Soul Retrieval. He needed a Soul Remembering as he forgot his purpose in life.

Soul Remembering became a huge part of my practice and for awhile I focused on this practice more than I performed Soul Retrievals.

I went on to write about it in A Fall to Grace, Medicine for the Earth and Walking in Light as I saw the importance in healing people from their conditioned life.

The key principle of Soul Remembering is seeing yourself at the time you were choosing to incarnate. You looked down on this great Earth and saw beauty and colors and saw this was a planet of senses. Here you can hear amazing sounds, smell amazing fragrances, taste chocolate and amazing foods, see beauty, feel textures and emotions.

And then you enter a family, and a world filled with authority figures projecting expectations onto you—how you should look, behave, and what you should achieve in life. Along the way, you may have lost touch with your passion and true purpose.

You felt such excitement to start this new adventure on Earth with a decision to be creative in some way carrying a true passion and life purpose in your soul as you greeted the Earth.The principle of Soul Remembering is a principle that is core to all nervous system work. As Victor Frankl wrote in his powerful book Man’s Search for Meaning, the way people got through life in a concentration camp was remembering what had meaning for them in life. Those who could not hold on to meaning did not survive.

So today there are endless programs to help deconstruct the identities that were projected onto us. Now people are being asked to explore deeply, why are you here? What gives you meaning, passion, joy, and purpose?

There is so much to nervous system work today, and I love what is being shared and how people are healing from impossible diseases and disorders. It is amazing and inspiring to watch.

In this newsletter I just wanted to focus on Soul Remembering and that this is the work people are doing now in all traditions to heal.

For this work it is actually quite simple as I teach it. I do teach it to shamanic practitioners to include in their shamanic work. And if you want to work with a practitioner, I trained to perform this practice in your behalf please visit www.shamanicteachers.com.

You can also do this work for yourself by performing a journey or meditation. Set your intention to be shown your spirit looking down on this great Earth before you were born. What called you here? What were you excited about doing, what meaning did you see, what did you see as your life purpose before you were told by others who you are, and why you are here?

This is an amazing practice to do for yourself or have someone perform for you. The power in doing it for yourself is getting for yourself your soul’s purpose. The power of having this performed by a shamanic practitioner is the gift of truly being seen for who you are beyond your conditioning. And this is healing for so many.

When I was just a little girl, I actually had the realization that I was never going to be seen for who I was. What an insight to get, being so little!

Try this practice and don’t give up. There is another way for you to live your life that will bring healing, joy, deeper and healthy connections with others, and a path to follow. And it is your unique path! But it is the true gift of life as we enter the Earth arena where we are living lives, caught in so many illusions and forgetting we are Spirit and the seeds of Source.

We have the opportunity to celebrate the full moon together on February 12. This moon is called the Snow Moon, and I love the sound of that!

This is a special time where we have the love of our international community to connect our hearts and inner light together like the brightest shining star in the cosmos emanating light within and throughout every corner of our great Earth. Drop the role you took on at birth and let your body go and your thoughts take flight for awhile and travel deep within to find that seed of Source light within you and let it grow, let it grow and emanate until the entire planet is one shining ball of light with you shining on it.

Announcements:

I am delighted to let everyone know that my book Walking in Light is now available on audio book. I love this book. It is a compilation of a lot of my work and has all that I teach in my course Medicine for the Earth and Healing with Spiritual Light.

I have not received a lot of reviews for my audiobook “Polishing the Path of the Soul”. But the ones I did get are so good I am doing the program again, and it is great. I was in such a deep spiritual place when I spent a week recording this audio book. I don’t remember a recording I ever did that went this deep or far or embraced so much of the energy of unconditional love!


Llyn Roberts and I wrote such a beautiful book titled Walking Through Darkness, and then I recorded on my own “Polishing the Path of the Soul”. Neither of these are selling well now. And I have so many people reading this column and on my email list. Don’t be afraid to explore the maps I shared with you for walking through dark times. For those are the times we are in. With my book and audio, you are provided a clear roadmap of how to keep walking forward, exploring the amazing territory of darkness and the healing it holds, and then how to emerge on a new path feeling empowered by your journey through the times we are living in and what you experienced in your past.

Transmutation News January 2025

We hold hands as a loving circle and walk forward in our true identity as Source, and with our soul having the knowledge of the roadmap of life.

We also together greet the 26th anniversary of the Transmutation News. It is amazing. We started in 2000 with Sylvia Edwards offering to set up a website for me. Before that a dear friend published my columns on a Fall to Grace. Bob Edgar put this newsletter up each month after I faxed him a handwritten copy, and it would appear on Carol Proudfoot Edgar’s website. So I have been writing this column for actually 28 years now.

And as I keep saying I have not written anything that is that much different in 28 years as we have been facing one challenge on Earth after another. But the point of our journey through life is to recognize we chose to be born at certain times to enter a certain play going on the planet. Our ego says, “No I never chose that”. But if you did not choose to be here, I wonder how you got here?

When I first began teaching Medicine for the Earth, I posed the question to participants that children being born now will have evolved to a place where they can survive on a planet filled with toxins just ready to be transmuted into pure light that feeds the Earth and all of life. I was reading articles about children born with more complex organs to handle toxins.

This prediction did not manifest at least in present times, as children are coming in already ill from the toxins passed down through their parents and ancestors.

But we know everything can be transmuted to light. The key is using intention + love + union + harmony + concentration + focus + and imagination.

If you need a review of this work, please look at my books Medicine for the Earth and Walking in Light.

The practice of transmutation takes a lot of commitment, practice, intention, and concentration. And if you are not willing to open and expand your imagination to dream bigger things than your ego can then I do not know how successful you will be. Your intention must be clear, and you must do all the work to prepare so that you are in a state of harmony and have filled all your cells with the light of your own Spirit.

If you do this work day in and day out and then minute to minute life will seem much different. You do this work as you breathe, eat, drink, speak, walk, work. This work is not something you do it is who you are and who you become in our big vast collective where many people are feeling insignificant and very small right now. And you need to know that this is not you and not true and it is time for you to stand in your strength and let your inner light shine and stay focused and not lose sight of your path. Never lose sight of your path so you don’t get lost or start following a path that does not lead to the destiny of your soul.

And the choices you make after you begin the New Year can lead you to a place and a way of life that might surprise you.

When I wrote my second book, Welcome Home I focused a lot on the power of community. And I wrote about inner city community gardens. Well in current news I read about one that is feeding over 3000 residents free food.

When communities come together to help each other magic does happen, and we remember the power, strength, and agency we have to help ourselves and others.

Performing the Medicine for the Earth practices and helping to support your community to help each other is the way I see that we make it through. And as Isis has been saying to me every day, “The ground below you is dissolving so keep moving”. And I am.

During this potent time, I invite you to join me on staying focused on the path of life that brings us to a life of harmony where we remember that Earth, Air, Water, and Fire (the Sun) bring us life. They love us and if we appreciate them with love everyday and thank them throughout the day for all the life they give us and bring us, we will move into a place of sacred reciprocity with Nature.

And once we have that we have everything.

The full moon is on January 13 of this year. January 13 is my birthday, and I am finally moving out of my Death year in the tarot which is a major year of rite of passage.

This year of possibilities has not even begun for all of us. We don’t know the beauty waiting for us when we walk through the darkness. Let’s honor our lives and the lives of all, by dropping that which keeps us from our divine presence- the light we were born with when we came into this world. If you are distracted find a ceremony, a prayer, a song, a dance to bring you into center aligned with your true identity which is Source. And let your light flow effortlessly through the dimensions of time and life and join with our community to lift our circle and all of life into a different evolution of consciousness where when we set our intention and do our work beautiful changes can happen. We allow our light to flow as deeply as possible within ourselves and the Earth touching all of life remembering how the river of life flows so effortlessly.

Welcome to 2025!!

Announcements:

I am teaching a seven-week course on Death as a Rite of Passage for the Shift Network starting January 7. This is a course I have been teaching since I started teaching shamanism. But I am leaving out teaching how to perform psychopomp work for this work is for advanced practitioners, and this is not an advanced course.

This is such a beautiful course for anyone who wishes to learn about death, how to meet with loved ones who have crossed over, finishing up unfinished business with those who have passed on, how to teach someone facing death how to meet a helping being, how to sit with someone who is dying while transfiguring, and ceremonies to honor the dying, whether those who died are humans, pets, trees, plants, other nature beings we love.

But it does require the need to have a good relationship with a helping spirit. I have a wonderful Evergreen class (which was once live and is now it is a recording) on the Ancient Practice of Shamanic Journeying. Whether you are looking at this course as a prerequisite for another shamanic course or for spiritual guidance during these amazing and challenging times it will give you a beautiful way to journey to the Lower World, Middle World, and Upper World and meet your helping spirits who can answer your questions and give you healing help.
