A Reminder of The Warrior Path
When visiting a river in California on my epic road trip to teach at Spirit Weavers, I had a moment of returning to the beginning when my phone fell into the river. Funny how losing my phone brought me back to life. Those of you who know me know I already take a whole day off every week from using the phone. It’s a way to reclaim my sovereignty and freedom and live without being connected all the time.
I’m sitting on a log, and this is a gushing current coming down from Burney Falls. This is NOT a river you should be casually getting into. However, I decided just to put my stuff down, hold on to the log in the river, get in with my dress, and be able to navigate with my feet to try to find this phone.
I was in there for about 15 to 20 minutes when I realize and come to terms with, I’m not finding my phone. While in the river, I heard the river say, “you’re in here because you needed a cleanse.”
I heard from the river. It was kind of like the purpose of this was because you’re not listening. What you committed to as a warrior in this lifetime, and you must learn your commitments. One of my most current commitments I began in this year is to take a day off from the phone every week on Monday. Quite miraculously, the phone fell into the river on a Monday.
After this, I had the first real panic attack in a long time. It was a great reminder of why I work with clients because this was my normal in the past. Panic attacks, being unsure, wondering who I am and why I am here.
I realized I was going through a panic attack because I was in a place I had to suppress my emotions, rather than sitting by the falls and crying peacefully. I didn’t feel safe sitting at the waterfall and crying like a baby because there were so many people. So, I walked to my car and broke down.
It’s not because of the phone but because of the leap of faith, my journey was built on. I had that moment. Am I doing the right thing? Am I supposed to be on this path? What the hell am I doing with my life?
I feel this story is quite long, and I will continue next week. However, one of the biggest takeaways from that moment of panic — return to the beginning, become observant and notice how the world communicates.
It brought so much awareness to the Warrior Path; many of us are walking. We have to show up for these times. We can’t be distracted. You are the Warrior of the Light.
I look forward to sharing next week even more insights, especially after attending MAPS: Psychedelic Science Conference.
However, in the spirit of the warrior path, not all is revealed in one message. Simplicity is key.
And quite frankly, I don’t want to write a long ass email no one will read 🙂
