I felt called to travel to Peru in May of 2023. I knew this would be a major step on my path to becoming a Shaman. It was a long journey to get there but I felt confident in my decision to travel there alone. My destination was Machu Picchu Peru. I was not prepared to witness the beauty of the Andes mountains although iv’e seen pictures many times before. Macu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the world and a very sacred place. I chose to go to Peru because the Earth’s sacral chakra is located there. The sacral chakra is tied to feminine energy and little did I know, my sacral chakra needed serious alignment so I picked the perfect place to go.
I cannot describe the feeling of staying in Machu Picchu other than a feeling of safety and security. It is a remote location and was actually hidden from the Spaniards when they came to raid the area. I believe this is a spiritually protected area so this is why they couldn’t find it hidden between the mountains. The beautiful architecture still amazes people till this day ! It is located high up in the Andes mountains and was a place of spiritual retreat and also home of royal Peruvians.
On my last day there one of the guides suggested I check out the hot springs. This is where everything clicked for me ! I felt so free and happy like a child again. I remembered thinking about how I haven’t felt this happy and like myself in years. I have always been a playful person but I found that the light in me died down and I was waaaay to serious and caught up in negativity and judging myself harshly. This day was actually one of the first times I went live on Tiktok and enjoyed just being myself with no fear of judgement attached. In my head I was thinking “Okay..this is what I came here for”. I understood why my spirit led me here. In order to fulfill my role as a shaman I had to get back in tune with my inner child.
The sacral chakra element is water. This is why the hot springs helped heal my sacral chakra. It represents feminine energy, sexuality, expression of emotions, and creativity. I realized that I have suppressed this energy within myself for so long. A lot of us as we get older become imbalanced in this area because of the demands of adulting and we also have a lot of childhood trauma that blocks us from expressing our selfs freely. It is so important for us to not forget to nourish the inner child within us all because it never dies we just grow older on the outside and forget our true free nature and suppress it. From that day on, I gave myself permission to BE. I hope this rings true for you as well =]
