May We All Be So Brave To Fulfill Our Heart’s Calling
Thank you Amma Therapy for being such a hard career. I have grown so deep in fortitude over the last 12 years. Every year, and each month is a new adventure. I have to keep furthering my learning between business and marketing, Chinese Medicine, acupressure, herbs, other plant medicines, and all the other modalities that I love and that have given me purpose: Alchemy (Life) Coaching, Holistic Nutrition, Breathwork Yoga, Ancestral Energy Clearing, Chinese & Western Astrology, and even Holistic Business Coaching. If everyone had said Yes to Amma Therapy (Acupressure and Bodywork) like they do to Massage or Acupuncture, I may have happily been someone else. Lol. But ya, people still don’t Google acupressure, and insurance still doesn’t recognize it.
My soul knew this would be a challenging path and I keep saying YES to my heart’s calling. And keep evolving. I wouldn’t be happy with acupuncture or massage, or anything other than the business and things I’ve learned work for me and my clients. And it’s magnificent to see people’s progress. And then see them feel so confident that they no longer need me. And so I welcome that I let people go, knowing I’ve done what they came to me needing, no matter where they left off, and no matter what potential I saw in more progress or in maintenance.
I knew I would have to work harder than most to bring this to the world. I knew I would have to research long hours, which luckily I love to do. I knew it would take self-discipline and grit. So I kept finding mentors that have taught me, and believed in me, and continued to help me uplevel. And my family has helped me too these past few years when the world would try and take out a small business. I’m so grateful for all of my mentors and family.
And no, I’m not making 6 figures at all. Not even close. And guess what? While I would happily welcome that, it’s not my reality at the moment. And, even so, I’m extremely abundant in so many ways, both materially and with family, friends, acquaintances, and loving my life. I’m here to tell you that we all have to do the work that gives us joy and purpose. It’s what makes life worth living. Yes, it can be a sacrifice. Sometimes, we also have to plan for a short time, to make that leap. So while it’s been hard, I also get to LOVE my work and wake up every day feeling alive and grateful. And continuing to serve my community in the ways I am called.
And while I write this, I have more research I’ve been doing and have clients starting to experience new ways to heal with me as their guide. And when it becomes successful, I’ll share it. And I know it will be, because when I see, experience and learn something that benefits me and is natural and time tested, (often tens of thousands of years old), then I help uncover it and shine it up, bringing life back to practices that ancient ones get twinkles in their eyes about. These practices and healing ways are significant, and they matter. If we didn’t dust them off and love them like an amazing antique and the treasures they are, they could sink into the dirt and stay buried, not lifted into the light of respect they deserve.
So thank you to my career being one of the hardest that anyone could sign up for that brings them joy. Most people would have walked away for greater pay, or for a greater sense of comfort with a paycheck. But I have found I am always supported, and I now know we all have no control, that numbers and looking ahead and projections, can all be taken away in a moment’s notice, as you never know what tomorrow brings. Planning for everything's an illusion.
We have this moment. And I will be teaching more of this too, because 2024 is the year of shocks and surprises that we’ve all been waiting for. We signed up for this. If you’re an Indigo or a Crystal like me, you’ve known your whole life that your purpose was to bring in this time, and usher in the changes. No, it won’t be easy. And the stability of the years of Pluto in Capricorn will have some people in their old-fashioned boots quaking, and others will long for the slower and more predictable times. The changes will come so fast over this next 20 year cycle with Pluto in Aquarius, we will have to do a lot for our nervous system to reset amidst this; to stay grounded, and to stay out of fight, flight or freeze mode.
I know that if my career’s path had been easy, I wouldn’t have the growth, the mindset, or the ability to serve even more people now. I’m grateful, grateful, grateful beyond measure. And may you be so brave to fulfill your heart’s calling. The world needs YOU to step into your Truth, and your purpose now, more than ever.
